CULTIVATE HABIT OF THRIFT
Practice Means That One Will Be
Ready to Seize Opportunity
When II Comes.

Practice thrift habisually. Make 1t
as much a part of your routine as
eating and sleeping. Get yourself sys-
tematized. Work on a definite sched-
ule. Save regular amounts. Plan your
work and your actions SO that you
will have no idle time, no lost motion,
no wasted energy.
These are among the secrets of sue
cess, happiness and progress.
The time to begin the cultivation of
thrift habits is now.
The most important message that
can be conveyed TO the people of this
nation today is: Get the thrift habit"
Practice thrift not for brief inter-
val or Internationally, but habitually.
Disraeli said, THE greatest secret
of success in life is to be ready when
your opportunity comes"
This brief sentence furnishes one of
the best reasons for practicing thrift
that ever has been given. 1t presents
phase Of the question 10 which not
enough attention is paid. Ordinarily
thrift is looked upon as a means Of
safeguarding one against possible
emergencies or of building up an ac-
cumulatiOn of money for some definite
purpose. But there are many unex-
pected turns in the pathway of life

SOUGHT TO ENHANCE CHARMS
Roman Beauties We'll Knew the Value
of Time Spent at the Toilette
Table.

The toilette of the Roman beauty
was vastly important affair. The
maids who assisted in ii were usually
Greek slaves, and the length of time
devoted to it may be judged from the
fact that, like beauties of France so
many centuries later, the Roman
woman often had the poets and the
philosophers of the day to divert her
during its progress, a favor of which
they seem TO have been less apprecia-
tive than their descendants In France.
The equipment for the toilette was
both elaborate and complete. Combs,
mirrors of FURNISHED bronze, bottles
for perfumes and boxes for rouge and
whitening preparations are all TO be
found in collections of Roman toilette
articles, and many are the harsh
words on the subject of the feminine
toilette 10 be found in the writings of
their masculine contemporaries who
disapproved of charm in their women,
yet seem with masculine inconsistency
TO have disapproved equally of women
without charm.

PARROT MADE MUCH TROUBLE
Abiitieo of Brooklyn Bird Entirely
Unappreciated by the Women Of
the Neiuhborhood.

For several weeks past young wom-
en- passing along Hanson place have
been much annoyed by loud whistling,
apparently coming from someone who
wished to attract their attention. The
whlstling has had most peculiar eff.
feet, depending on the temperament
of the women. Some have quickened
their pace and tried to get away; 9th
ers have turned and surveyed the man
who happened 70 be behind with
flushed faces and angry glances. One
or two have even complained to the
police, while few have Jagged to find
out what it was all about.
Recently a highly indignant woman
complained to a policeman.
"That man behind me has been
whistliDg TO attract my attention for
five minutes" she said. 81 wish you
would stop IT,"
Much 10 her amaZement the police
man laughed unrestrainedly. He

SHE ALSO KNEW TENNYS0N
Poetic Business Man Got Something
of "Jot" When He Tackled
Little Waitress.

The man with the superior air was
a poetic business man. He generally
patronlzed small Iunchroom near his

at wholesale or something, he liked to
read verse. His favorite was Tenny-

cause ne felt thar he knew so much

| little fun with the lunehroom wait

the heroines in the poem. His regular
waitress was a tall, gaunt person, but
somewhat queenly as she bore down
on him with a plate Of hash. Her real

Then he explained his little indoor

"I'll let you be Elaine" he said.

Advertisers at First Shy.

1t took several years after the es-
adjustment of newspapers in Amer
lea for advertising TO become popular.
John Campbell, the postmaster of Bos-
ton, who, in 1904, started the Boston
News Letter, the first real newspaper
in this country, had great difficulty in
persuading his townspeople to adyer-
tise their wares or their wants.
William Bradford and Peter Zenger
In New York were hardly more for
tunate at first, and even Benjamin
Franklin. for many years after lie be-
gan the publication of the Pennsyl-
vania Gazette, found his advertising
columns very meager. After 1880,
however, the reluctance TO advertise
died away and all the leading papers
showed that they were well sup
ported.

While IT Is true that we never know

US, we. likewise never know what great
opportunity is going 10 come into our
lives from an unexpected quarter. If
we read the lives of the men of our
country who have risen from poverty
and obscurity TO the greatest heights
of success, We find that there were
certain times in their lives when great
opportunities presented themselves.
that much of the success of these men
was due to the fact that they We're
able to take advantage of such oppor-
tunities when they came.
How often have we witnessed the

ness

Let Us Look at a few Figures

Up to last winter the law permitted the school board
to charge those residing outside the district amount OF
tuition not exceeding the cost per capita for the depart
ment in which they were enrolled and requiring the
school district from which they came to pay So per
month or So per year, any additional cost to be paid by
the student in attendance
The boards estimate of the per capita expense in the
DEBORAH High School $3.50 per month or $3.50 per
year AS had "a such students enrolled last year the
tuition received would be $780, The last legisa
ure amended the law requiring the outside district to
pay the expense of tuition up to So per month At
conservative estimate the expense per capita for high
school students in the building will be $1,000 per
month The present enrolment from the outside would
produce revenue of $1,000 per annum.
Last year number of students did not in
account of lack of accommodations There is doubt
that the attendance would increase in the first year
100 and if equal the record of schools in
rounding cities easily count $50.
ON THE BASIS OF 100 TUITION PUPILS, IN IT
YEARS THE TAXPAYERS OUTSIDE OF DEBORAH
WILL HAVE PAID THE ENTIRE AMOUNT NECES
SARY TO PURCHASE GROUND, ERECT AND EQUIP
A NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING AND ALL THE
PEOPLE OF DEBORAH WILL HAVE TO DO is TO

Every fair minded man and woman will admit they

be maintained and the number of instructors

For years we have spent money to get people to

man. every property owner, to have increased
population Here 100 young people, the pick of the
community that want to live with us and pay for the
privilege They obliged to leave home attend high
school Consolidated schools have been repeatedly voted
down in this county. DEBORAH is the natural center
towards which large percentage of these young people
will turn Their number will continually increase There
is doubt but that the above estimate will be far ex
ceeded
The fame of our city educational center has
spread far and wide Thousands of boys and girls re-
ceved completed their education at Luther College
Vaders and Breckenrdges and in every town. city and
hamlet in the Northwest are and women who refer
with pride and satisfaction to their school DAYS in

O'CONNOR SCARE
At MERRIMACK

Residents of the village of Merri-
mack thought that Terrible" Tommy
O'Connor was in their midst Satur-

city received a telephone message to
come quickly and make an arrest. The
local officer did not believe the Mer-
rimack O'Connor was the one with
a prize of $500 on his head by the
description given him over the tele-
phone but went, nevertheless. After
failing to make connections by auto
through the snow drifts the sheriff
returned to Baraboo and boarded the
four o'clock train Saturday afternoon.
He arrived in Merrimack and found
the whole village excited over the
affair. Rows of heads were peering
out Of store windows, folks were hur-
srying to and fro; in short the entire
popu1ace was out to witness the cap
ture of Terrible Tommy w.
Sheriff Neitzel had little difficulty
in locating the O'Connor double and
in. short order found out the man had
none of the traits of the one who es-
capped the gibbet in Chicagos with
the exception of a scar over his eye.
Mr. Neitzel learned the man was on
lyA looking for work. The sheriff ex-
planned his findings to the villagers
but they were firm in their impression
and would not be satisfied until Mr.
Suspect was taken to Baraboo with
