Yes, Very Quiet.-You will RENE mber
the story by o. Henry called, think,
"a Municipal Record" in which an old
colored hackman kills one of the most
prominent drunkards and wife beaters
of small southern city, and when the
deceascd's acquaintance viewed the
remains, nobody could speak we'll Of
him except one man who went to
school with him and said that at that
time he was first rate speller. Bob
Wildhack matched this yarn with one
about an Irish publican, who had also
been the village money lender and
rack-renter. At his wake, the neighbors
were stumped to say something good
about him. The best that ANYBODY
could do with the situation was to say,
well, Mike is gone" and then try
hard not to smile However there was
an old lady who was determined to
eulogize the deceased. She gazed long
and earnestly at the bier, and said at
last:
Don't he make the nice quiet look
ing corpse!"

Truthful Witness-A colored watch
man at grade crossing was witness
for the railroad company during the
trial Of an accident case. Both on di-
rect and cross s-examination he testified
that he had swung a lantern for at
least three minutes prior to the pass
ing of the train, and that in spite of
this warning, the plaintiffs deceased
husband had driven across the track.
For more than two hours he was
subjected to a severe cross -eXamina-
tion. Every conceivable question was
asked him by the plaintiffs attorney,
but his testimony remained Gnshaken.
The lantern was offered in evidence,
and the witness testified just how he
held it and the manner in which he
waved it, and after he retired from the
stand. the jury was so convinced Of his
truthfulness that they brought in a
verdict for the defendant.
> Tell me, SAM" the attorney for the
railroad company said as he congratu-
lated him later with a ten dollar bill,
didn't you feel nervous on the stand?'
II sho did, Boss" the perfect witness
replied. II was scared to death that
somebody was going to ask me if that
there lantern was lighted"

He Should Have known.-This story
is told of prominent comedian who
died last year. He had been married
and divorced so many times that in
telling q member of the Lambs Club
about his matrimonial experiences, he
once said: And then in 1893 l mar
ried that dark girl out in Seattle. You
know the one l mean. I've forgotten
her name but her father used to run
the old Olympic Cafe"
That, however, is not the story. II
seems that he and his company had a
lay-over one Sunday in Portland,
Maine, and for the novelty of the thing,
he went to church with the company
manager. The minister was young
man and preached a sermon on matri-
mony
What did you think Of that spiel the
dominic gave us?" the manager asked
when they came out.
1T was all right as far as it went"
the comedian said, but wish TO God

And the Shirker.

The opposite type is easy to describe.
He is the man who is fond of declaring
that "the world owes him living" He
Is a parasite on society, not even as
useful as the worm, for the worm at
least performs a necessary function.
He is wrong. 1t is not the world which
owes him anything; on the contrary he
is indebted to human society for the
price of his existence. If he labors at
all, 1t is for four hours a day in good
times because work is at a premium Of
price, and for four hours day in bad
times because industry can supply no
| longer hours.
OF course, there is an intermediate
type who does not save, not because he
lacks the inclination, but because he
has not got the chance. Hard cases of
this character are far more common
than is supposed.
In the first place there is the man
whose health will not allow him to
work al full pressure. Next there is
the man who has widowed mother
TO support or younger brothers and
sisters to keep and educate. This is
the commonest instance. This mans
savings do not create the capital
which will make him rich, but to the
help of the others. None the less, he
does the state as great a service in
the example of self -abnegation and
self sacrifice which he gives to the
world.
But we must return to the first class
the maker Of money and material
wealth who reverses the process prac-
| ticed by the waster. While a boom is
OH he will work double times to make
| all he can, for during this period of
| imitation money is easy TO get. Out of
| this abundance he will put his money
| by. He can do this in two ways
either by investment or by the actual
saving of cash.
In either case he can afford to view
The subsequent period of depression
with equanimity if he has exercised
ordinary business caution. 1t is true
| that during depression the earning ca
pacity CT his investments will be less
ened. But this reduction of income is
passing phase. The actual value of
the capital remains the same, and will
recover its earning capacity in due
| course.
In the second case, if the saving
man has put his money in the form of
cash, his reward will accrue as soon
as the boom ceases. When depression
comes all that he has accumulated will
be enhanced in value. A practical in
stance is not hard to find. The sover-
eign in 1919-1920 was worth far less
in buying power than it is today. De-
preston has cheapcned prices. The
man who saved during the boom period

THE PEOPLE WHO SAVE
Here is Where Originates the Capital
That Rules the World.

Saving is a habit which very few
men acquire, writes Lord Evenbrook,
of London. These are the rules OF the
land, and the on'y men who dispute
with them are those whose ancestors
have saved for them.
| have often tried to estimate what
the proportion is between those who
save and those who do not, and what
in each case the motive for putting
money by may be. 1t is my ca!cula-
ton that only one man in five saves.
And even from that figure one must
deduct the numbers of those who save
not for the purpose of reinvestment or
increasing their capital, but as mat
ter of precaution or fear. This latter
class breads illness, misfortune, or pre-
mature death. 1t puts the limit of
safety against these evils at a certain
sum, and when that amount Is attain
ed ceases to strive. This is not really
that progressive saving which makes
capital.
The Workers.
The small percentage of men who
save with the intention Of using their
capital productivity soon acquire GER
tain definite and common habits which
spring from the original saving ten
dency and motive.
Time is money to them, and they
save one as religiously as the other.
They work continually, with no
thought of overtime AS long as there
remains anything to be done they are
ready to do it. They are like the
scholar who will not leave lesson un-.
til he has it word perfect. They take
their examp from the farmer in har-
vest time who goes on bringing in the
crops until the light fails-and begins
again as soon as the sun rises.
In the good times of commerce they
work hard, and in the bad times they
work harder. They realize the rota-
ton by which a period Of bloom sue
ceeds a period of depression, and they
mark their harvest out of both condi-
tions.

ON WITH DANCE BUT
REMEMBER MANNERS

New York Sun:
The old time feeling that wife
ought never to waltz with any one
save her own husband or that an en-
gagged girl might not dance with any
man save her tiance is seldom ex-
pressed nowadays. In fact, IL mar
ried and engaged women dance at all
they feel quite as free to dance with
other men friends as with the man in
the world with whom they pass most
OF their time. Married persons who at
q dance or other social gathering max
Ing point Of keeping much in each
others company are quite likely to be
laughed at a little. In arranging guests
at table the careful hostess never
places husbands and wives side by
side. HEor the same reason she does
not place any members Of the same
family together If it can be avoided
nor would shea-if the dinner is pure
ly social purposes-place two persons
together OF the same profession or
Identical interests. Anything that is
apt to lead to an exclusive conversa-
ton is to be avoided in planning for
any social gathering.
Sometimes q young married wo-
man in entertaining in her own home
gives in to the temptation so to ar
range the evenings entertainment
that she may be thrown to a consid-
cradle extent in her own husbands
company. This may be entirely be-
cause she finds greatest enjoyment
when conversing rwith him. Truth
to tell she sometimes wishes to i'm
press her guests with the fact OF her
husbands devotion to her and their
own great congeniality. This is as a
matter Of fact purely selfish con-
sideration. The truly successful host
and hostess are so busy looking out
for the enjoyment OF their guests
SO eager that even the shyest and most
awkward of their guests should be
made to enjoy himself-that they have
little time to enjoy each others So
ciety. A quaint little book on 'fEti-
quette for Ladies'" published more
than half a century ago warns. the
young married woman against just
this thing. "In society we ought, above
everything, to avoid being personal"
1t says, "for a husband or a wife is
another self; and I'VE must forget that
SELL"
And when you talk, If you want to
make success, feel alive and look
alive. There is no damper on con-
versation like the distant gaze or the
air Of abstraction that somehow makes
the other person feel that he isn't
worth undivided attention.
