rui. In front Of the big brown house
there was 8 big hole, which was a
door, although he did not know 1t was
a door. But he knew that holes could
be gone through, so in he went.
inside the big brown house there
lived family OF very well-behayed
mice, brown, all of them, who never
made noise In the walls at night or
nibbled the loayes Of bread in the
pantry.
They were always on the watch for
what was going on in the big house
and so 1t happened they saw the white
mouse just as he came In the door
and they nearly tumbled over them.
selves in their astonishment, for they
had never before seen q white mouse.
The brown mice crowded to the
edge OF the mousehole, peering at the
white mouse and expect they felt
very much the way the poor Indians
did when they saw q white man for
the first time.
at last one of the bravest OF them
said: Il am going to speak to him,
he has whiskers Just like ours and
tail just like ours and eyes just like
ours; maybe he fell In the milk pan
and could not get 1t washed OF"
II don't believe that said the sis
ter of the brave brown mouse, her
little nose wiggiing in a funny way,
HE looks white all the way through"
When the brown mouse who was
brave enough to speak to the stran-
ger said, Can do anything for you,
sir?" in his very grandest manner,
little white mouse stared, for you see
little white mouse had never seen Just
an ordinary mouse before.
But at last he got over his fright
and brown mouse persuaded him TO
come into his wall home and when
brave brown houses sister told white
mouse how nice it was to live thers
he decided he would not try to find
his way back to the circus tent.
And so one night there was we'd
ding in the walls Of the brown house
and little white mouse and pretty
little brown mouse set up housekeep-
ing and some time you may be sur
prised by seeing white mouse run
along close to the wall Of the room
where you happen to be sitting, and Ii
you do, perhaps it win be one of the
children who looks like its father,
little white mouse, who ran away
from the circus tent long time ago. |

SELLING WATER BY AUCTION

Most of the worlds materials
have been knocked down by the
auctioneer, but it is very seldom
that he has water to sell. That ex-
perience befell an Alden auctioneer
who had 100000 gallons for dis
posal. The reason is that Alden is
situated on the crater of an extinct
volcano, "where falls not rain, nor
hail, nor any snow" and consequent
ly when this arid rule is broken then
water becomes a commodity. How
very seldom this is, the meteoro-
logical tables show, the average rain
fall being less than three inches, and
in 1904 it was barely half an inch.
Therefore the storm that filed the
rockhewn reservoirs rained riches
upon Alden, and for the auctionee1
the rainfall proved a windfall.

u,seRs AND THEIR MILLIONS
=. 81. Thrifty 10 Not to Be Misery.
Thrift Is Only Intelligent
Spending.

Thrift. as some very wise man has
aid. means only intelligent spend
mo. Some people try to make it
.nnear that to be thrifty is to be
niserly, but it is easy to see that if
ws develop race of misers who
boarded their savings, there could
he nothing of prosperity or happi-
meas here. Misers are never happy
and they are never prosperous. They
may have millions, but if they do
not spend intelligently-and in
some cases it has been shown that
tbey will not spend at all-their
money is about as worthless as so
many rocks.
The economic structure in this
country is based upon the earnings
and spending of currency. Thrift
has its part to play in all this sort
Of thing, but those who cannot see
the difference between intelligent
spending and boarding grow older
without growing wiser. Thrift,
properly exercised, is one of the
most important factors in the life of
any city, state or nation. Thrifty
people--real people of thrift, that
is-are the safeguards of the repub-
lie. Misers never help themselves
nor anyone else. Furthermore, they
do not desire to be of help to any
one.
The thrifty man and woman sees
the mutual advantage Of service. He
saves a part of what he earns, but he
doesn't attempt to save all of it at
the expense of his own happiness
and the progress OF his municipality,
commonwealth or CONTRADICTION
