One who wants to get a brdseye view OF the
purposes to which the money goes which ne
pays into the Federal Government in taxes ought
to witness a demonstration put on by Judsoh
King, secretary of the National Popuiar oo'
ernment League
He takes a dollar bill such as one pays in taxes
and a pair of scissors. He cuts off of the dollar
bill that portion which is to be spent for war
purposes 1t takes e3 per cent OF the Dill VI
every dollar bill that has gone into the treasury
in the last ten years. 90 per cent has gone TO
war. He pins this part of the bill on chart
under the heading "War." There Is but half
inch of the bill left for all other purposes of
Government. He takes little more than half
of this 1857 per cent OF the whole) and pins 1t
on the chart under the heading "Operation OF
the Government" This runs the departments.
A strip a half-inch wide and an inch long goes
under the head Of "Public Works" There remains
a tiny fragment, less than per cent of the bill,
for Research. Education and Development"
This includes the Department OF Agriculture and
the scientific bureaus Finally Mr.. King takes
a pin from the lapel OF his coat and approaches
the chart He sticks the pin into it. The mark
that is left represents the part of the dollar
that goes to the women's and chidren's bureau.

We borrow half from the Past, in
the shape of regrets, and the other
half from the Future, in the shape
of apprehensions; the Present is
never so bad.
The smile, the kiss, the tender
favor of your lady, they are but lent
you-you must return them or lose
grace.
Life itself is borrowed from our
mother, the earth, and to her we
must all return it.
And did any youth ever pay for
his educationi His college was
founded by generous givers. His
knowledge he begs from books. His
inspiration is handed him by some
rare teacher, as one lends lighted
torch from which to light another.
Friendship is borrowed. Beware
how you take and do not repay. Soon
you will have no friends at all.
So we go. through this market
place of the world, naked and
moneyless when we enter, naked
save for lent cerements when we
leave, borrowing right and left,
bread and meat at our fathers table,
care and loyalty from the all-giving
soul that mothers us, kindness from
passersby, thrills from women and
comradeship from men, wisdom from
the aged and merriment from youth,
beauty from flower and sky, warmth
from sun and fire, refreshment from
the winds, nourishment from fruit
and plant, not to mention the subtler
vet weightier things we borrow
from souls.

Perhaps the man you work for In your esti-
nation knows less about his own business
than yos do, but the fact that he Is an en-

his way OF doing things has proven success
full for him.
Also the man who employs you has a right
TO say how his work shall be done.
That his way and yours differ simply shows

or course, some employers won't listen to a
suggestion, no matter how good, which is a
mistake, but the biggest mistake is for a man
to think that he should be paid for bossing
the boss.
To believe your own way II better than the

,"HnEN you near one DOdSIlnS
" that he never borrows you
W may smile.
For, as a matter of fact, we are
all borrowers, have little we can call
our own, except our own diseases,
and earn only a small portion of
what we get.
We are not speaking of umbrellas
and stovepipes, but of those more
valuable possessions, the things that
actually minister to our comfort
and that build our success.
Bacon, for instance, called atten-
ton that kings and rich men are
happy, as it were, by a sort of bor-
rowed happiness. That is, the actual
life of a king is pretty much of a
bore, what with empty ceremonies,
non-essential, uncomfortable crown,
tedious parades, bothersome affairs
of state and the constant fear Of
murderous envy. So that to live
a king would be very much like
turkey every day. BY and by the
stoutest stomach goes back on un-
broken luxury.
But kings are happy, it is Bacon s
idea, rather in enjoying what other
people think they enjoy.
And the principal joy of a man
worth a million is in realizing, not
how much fun it is, but how much
others envy him.
Most of our troubles arc borrowed.
