THIS is the time of year when all good
business men take stock Of the goods
on their shelves, and balance their
books, and find out just exactly where they
stand commercially.
Let us follow their example, and have a
spiritual stock-taking, and audit our book
Of life.
When merchant takes stock, he is hon
est with himself. He does not credit himself
with having a hundred automobiles when he
has only two in his store room, nor does he
list his calico as brocades.
He knows that to credit himself with
more capital than he has to do business on
is the first aid to ruin
Follow his example in this, and when we
sit down to calmly and dispassionately take
stock of ourselves, let us begin by trying to
rate our abilities at their true worth. Let
us not magnify our aptitudes into talents,
nor glorify our talents into genius, and thus
put value upon ourselves far in excess of
our worth.
Nine-tenths Of the failures il the world
are the result of self-conceit, of people
thinking more highly of themselves than
they have a right to think and trying to do
things beyond the scope of their ability. All
of us know men and women who are near
writer's, and near-singers, and near-actors-
men and women with tiny talent, but with
out the, big ability to accomplish anything
worthwhile, who are starving along trying
without patients, lawyers without clients,
preachers without churches, who eat out
their hearts wondering why they never sue
coed.
The answer would be self-evident II they
would only honestly take stock Of them
selves, and admit to themselves that the
goods on their shelves was homespun instead
of chiffon. They are failures, because they
are trying to do the thing for which nature
did not equip them, but they would be sue
cesses in the line for which they were des-
tined.
Nothing would do more for the happiness
and well-being of multitudes of people who
have over-valued the line Of goods they car
ry, than to mark it down to its real value.
For many a woman who cannot earn her
bread and butter by painting dauby pic
lures, could make fortune as dress
maker or mi1liner; many a one who Is
Door actor on the stage would be a good
actor as a boarding housekeeper, or sales
woman; many man who lacks the execu-
tive ability to run a business for himself
could command his own salary as an en-
ploye in big business; many poor doc7

FOOLS GOLD
By DR.. Frank Crane

Most of the world is running about look
ing for fools gold.
We are diseased with the notion that
only conspicuous people are interesting.
Quite the contrary is true. The only peo-
pie that it is possible to live with are the
nconspicuous.
We are victims Of advertisement, and la
Dor under the delusion that the value of
things and people depends upon the degree
to which they are talked about.
Some men are even SO foolish as to mar
ry famous woman.
And there are many young female idiots
who have dreamed Of happiness by marry
ing celebrated man.
We are tickled to death when we are in
vited to tea by the Duchess We're de We're,
where we meet noted persons who snub US
and their worshipperS who bore u.s.
We eat whaC we detest because it is the
thing; we wear what becomes us not, be-
cause the half world in Paris wears it; we
crimp our naturally straight and attractive
hair until it looks like that Of a Fiji Island
er because it is the style; we pay ten dol
lars a plate at banquet where we can eat
cold and indigestible food and ave distant
view of General Foch or John Drinkwater.
We think we have abandoned the Eng
lish custom of toadying t. Dukes and Lords,
but in Worcester, Massachusetts, and Koko-
mo, Indiana, we are just as crazy to touch
the hem of he garments Of celebrated per-

We break our necks to get invited to

Obsolete Furniture

Dozens of mahogany, walnut and teak
wood bars, tables and fixtures from saloons
raided in the Detroit district since the adj
vent of prohibition, display of highly poll
ished and costly wood valued at upward or
$500, 900, may be chopped into frewood and
distributed among Detroit. poor. Or these
bars and tables, over which thousands OF
elbows have been crooked and that in years
past have been made to glisten by constant
application of towels in the hands of white
aproned attendants, may be converted into
benches for august judges or into pulpits
behind which clergymen will stand and voice
the arguments for a saloCnless world.
While state and city prohibitic- forces are
making up heir minds which course to puF-
sue in disposal of the valuable store OF
wood, rats and mice are playing havoc with
the bars and tables, that have been dumped
in heap near one of tie city's police sta
tions.
Under a state law prohibition officials
confcate the fixtures in any establishment
found to be dispensing liquors Lacking
place to store these articles the officials have
piled them in vacant place outdoors, thus
creating what the police call the city's "ma-
hogany dump"
Judge William M. Heaton, of Recorders
court has decreed the collection be cut into
frewood and given to the poor. Others pro-
pose the water-soaked pile be salvaged and
that the wood be used to make pulpits and
and judges benches.
For display purposes tie wood is worth
a fortune but for frewood it is no better
than the more plebeian varieties. City Of
fcials say that to cut the bars into stove
wood would cost more than it would be
worth for that purpose. TT erefore the pro-
posa1 of Judge Heaton will not be put into
effect, for a time, at least.
While solution is being reached the own
er of the property on which the "mahog-
any dump" is located is frantically urging
the officials to take it away, as he needs
the space and also because the dump" has
become the home of scores of rats

In the federal court the district at

cepted by the grand jury on evidence
given by Mr.. Kaldor, Harry Lashko-

are not fruit and hence cannot be used
legally in the manufacture of wine
for family use.
Dandelion wine addicts with con-
science are responsible for this ruling
of Federal Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes, made public today by Col
lector of Internal Revenue Ferguson.
Constant inquiries by law abiders who
feared dandelions might not be one of
the fruit wine stocks permissible for
householders to use or permit, caused
him to send to query to Washington,
Collector Ferguson said.
"Whie he ruled what dandelion is
not, the commissioner did not render a
decision on what dandelion is-whet.
Ell it ranks as vegetable, flower or
weed.

Search Illegal,
Booze Returned

Fargo, Nd, May 24.-Liquor seiz-
ed at the home Of Cha, n. Henning,
1918 Front street, by federal agents
last summer, was ordered returned
to the defendant by Judge Andrew
Miller. The motion was made by
Harry Lashkovitz, counsel for Hen
ming. He charged the search was
illegal.
A similar motion was made by A..
c. Lacy, Fargo, and NJ. J. Donnellly,
Cedar Rapids, Iowa attorneys for e.
E. Harnish, Fargo, who is facing trial
for possessing ingre i:ents OF home
brew. Judge Miller has the latter
motion under advisement.
In the Henning case attorneys con-
tended that dry agents had no posi-
tive information as to sale, and that
the law provides that an acsua. sale
must be proven before warrant may
be issued for the search Of a private
dwelling.
In the latter case the issue IS COM
plicated by the fact that Harnish took
the stand, in the former trial where
the jury disagreed. The prosecution
contends that by taking the stand.
Harnish waived his constitutional
rights.

FREAK NEAR WILLISTON

Williston, N. d., May 24.-Accord-
ing to Joe Mendro of Williston, he
recently saw and examined colt in
farmers pasture near this city,
which is perhaps one of the queerest
freaks ever seen in this section. The
colt, Mr.. Mendro says, had head
not much different from that of an
ordinary buck deer, and as nearly as
he could tell, he believed there were
indications that one or more horns
might presently grow out. Another
peculiar fact about the animal was
that the hoof Of one foot was cleft
into two divisions, while the remain
ing hoofs were entirely NATURAL.
