The Cut Glass Ace.

There was a rough Stone age and a
smooth Stone age and a Bronze age,
and many years afterwards, a Cut
Glass age In the Cut Glass age, when
young ladies had persuaded young
men with long, curly mustaches to
marry them, they sat down several
months afterward and wrote thank
you notes for all sorts of cut glass
presents-punch bowls, finger bowls,
vases, etc. and then the
struggle for existence began. The
bonbOn dish lost its little handle, and
became a pin tray upstairs; prom
enading cat knocked the little bowl
off the sidebOard and the hired girl
Clipped the middle-siZed one with the
sugar dish; then the wineglasSeS sue
cumbed to leg fractures. and even the
dinner glasses disappeared one by one
like the ten little niggers the last
one ending up, Scared and MANNED,

JOHN /. "HOCKED" HIS BELT
Diamond Studded Heavyweight Pu0i-
Iistic Championship Trophy Was
Pledged for 81 300.

We went into the pawnshOp of the
Forty-second street Simpsons to ask
about John l.. Sullivan's diamond
championship belt, which he hooked
there May "a. 1901 He put it in for
$500. HAS this heavyweight belt
ever been taken out?" was asked of
Christopher Richardson, manager for
the aged Thomas Simpson.
Nov that you know about it," he
replied Il may as well tell you that
it was redeemed April %, 1904. We
had it here, down in our safe, for
three years."
Being city of quick opportunities
York pawnshops are rare spots for
the study of human character. A
young woman came in and planked a
small diamond ring on the highly pol
ished rosewoo1-topped counter and
demanded $50 in hurry. You must
hurry" she pleaded, "for l have an
appointment with my hairdresser and
need the money to pay for a perma-
nent wave"
The queerest case of sentiment was
the pawning some years ago of three
500 bills by an elderly woman in
black When told she could not get
more than $3.50, she was satisfied,
seeming to know that the money
given her had to be borrowed, and its
share of the overhead added in.
Il woYld not spend the bills, be
cause they were issued by the gov
eminent to bank in which my dead
husband was president she ex-
planned, and pointing at the name on
one of the bills, added: "That was his
name"
She did not redeem the bills al
the end of the year, and they went
into circulation to meet the $54 in.

shop books being 81.

the largest school any of the crew had
ever seen.
Suddenly a number of huge black
shadows were noted stealing up on the
school from behind. The sinister Gorsal

water proclaimed them TO be sharks.
They gained steadily and finally
plunged among the PROPOSES In

became apparent as they strove madly

In their confusion they dived wildly

Meanwhile the sharks continued a
nethodical campaign of determination.

Recently a Jeffersonville man, who
is classed among the heavyweights

police force, applied for appointment
and was selected relates the Indian
apolis News. Being more diffident
titan one would expect for a man of
his avoirdupois, he applied to a friend
of his. now a justice OF the peace but
then running a little grocery, for some
hints on what to do. His friend gave
him some counsel and encOuragingly
remarked: you'll soon get on to the
work all right" The second night
after his appointment the new officer
fetched up outside his friends gro
Gerry, passed the time of night, reached
out a big hand and grabbed a bunch
of bananas and proceeded rumina-
lively to dispose of them. His friend
looked at him for a moment or two,

LIFE INSURANCE

T IFE insurance is one OF the great
est blessings of mankind.
That it has gained the approval and
support of nearly all men of wisdom
and prominence in the country is a
just cause for rejoicing. No one must
be very old to recall the days when
large number of people believed life
insurance something which required
one to die to win. Today, it is looked
upon as offering an exceptional oppor-
tunity for saving, as well as protecting
dear ones while men and women labor
to provide the necessaries of life.
Life insurance companies state
ments of distributions to policyhOlders
or their benefciaries usually are con.
sidered dull reading But they would
become intensely interesting to every
intelligent person if he were to give
them sufficient study and thought.
Viewed either as a safe means of saw.
ing or as legitimate means of pro-
tecting the welfare of wives or chill
dren, the cold figures take on new
meaning which ought to increase the
joy along lifes pathway.
COntradicting the old belief that life
insurance was a die to VIM PROPOSE
ton, the statement of one of the coun.
try's biggest companies shows that this
corporation during 1920 paid out more
than twice as much to living policy
holders as it did to beneficiaries of
those who had died. The exact figures
are $79, 1895, 1888 paid to living policy
holders and $50, 453, 7;sS to beneficiaries.
The work of selling life insurance
isn't nearly as disagreeable as it used
to be- But there are still great many
who should carry insurance who do
not, and others who should carry more
than they do who lack the courtesy or
good taste to treat insurance statesmen
with respect Nevertheless, the sales
men, comprising a valuable army in
the United States, are a brave body
and, to their credit it may be said, are,
as rule, perfect gentlemen. They
are trained to smile when rebuffed.
Those who give them the "glad
hand" and buy a reasonable amount of
insurance, just as they buy other ne
cessities or as they place loose change
in savings funds, will find more joy in
following their daily paths.

MANAGE YOURSELF

A GREAT singer, who has to spend
= about eighteen hours a day taking
care of his health and his voice, which
are his capital, needs manager, anG
has one.
A great actor, whose every minute
is required to continue being a great
actor, also needs a manager.
We take it that you are neither 9
great singer nor great actor, because
you belong to the vast majority of hu
man beings.
Therefore, while you need a man
ager, too, you don't need to hire one
You can be your own.
This is true, whether you are YOU
own boss, or what the socialists call
wage slave.
If you are wage slave you viii
to some extent have to submit to tho
management of the man who is sci
over you.
But he can only manage you il
working hours, and he can't manage
your mind at all. And it is your mind
and the way it is managed. that will
make or break you before you gel
through
Take over that job yourself. If Il
is an unruly mind, make it law-abiding
If il is roaming mind, given to wan
dering over all sorts of subjects wher
it ought TO be confined TO one, dis
cipline it.
Keep it on the job it ought to be
-.
make it practice this new accomplish
ment.
If it is lazy mind, force it to work
and to work hard. If it objects and
acts as if it might crack under the
strain. don't worry about it. Keep II
working and it will soon learn to dc
its work without getting tagged.
While you are managing your mind
manage your body, too. Make it con
troll its appetites, and take cold baths
and tackle hard work without finch
ing.
Don't let it overeat or neglect IL
get plenty of sleep, or do any of Tho
foolish things that bodies will do Il
they are permitted TO have their owl
way
Mind and body we'll managed will
soon be worth more to your boss and
consequently, more TO you. If YOU
boss won't pay the extra value, get an
other boss but be sure first that the
extra value is there. 1t is easy to thinl
you are worth more than you are, an(
to underestimate the boss judgment il
that respect.
After you have been managing your
self for a while you will know how tt
manage others. Then, when you ge
a chance, you will be able to IMPROVE
it. You will find the job difficult a.
first, but pleasant and profitable after
ward Try it and see if this isn't true

ABSENCE


HOW big a little house can be
When all have gone away
And left no one at home but me;
How dreary. grim and gray
The shadows are at eventide.
When lone and tired l come
And have no one to sit beside
Me when at last I'm home.
The hall seems leagues of distance
wide,
Each room vast estate:
Dark forms i'm dusky corners hide
And terrors lie i'm wait.
Deep silence reigns, and over all
The lonesome shadows creep;
| list 10 hear soft football
From out the silence deep.
No welcome laugh, no smiling face,
No eager. running feet
To meet me as near the place;
No kiss from lips so sweet
A barren isle in widespread sea;
A rock in desert wide;
No hands that beckon unto me
Near home at eventide.
And vet, ere morning sun awakes
/ feel presence sweet;
Dream faces dreary fancy breaks
And bring Joy complete.
/ feel the touch of little hands,
See smiles of childish glee;
And as from far-off Fairyland
My children come to me.
Ger low-flung hills and valleys wide,
Far from the city's strife.
Midst country scenes where joys abide
Are children dear and wife.
So what care if dark and drear
The cottage seems to be.
If brown and strong my kiddies dear
Soon hasten home to me,
