Charles E. Cox, intimate friend of
Abraham Lincoln, died last Friday
at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
W. p. Adams, at Elizabeth, N. j.
He was 80 years old. Mr.. Cox, sixty
wears ago, secured the first appro-
priation for the improvement of the
Mississippi river. He had been iden-
tilted with the work of the inland
waterway commission for many
years. His home was originally at
Quincy.
Storm waves more severe than any
in recent years have been sweeping
over the central states during the
month of June. Unique accidents
have occurred in many localities.
Ernest Ayersman of Gibson City
was killed when a tree blew on his
automobile. Two of his children
were also killed. The circumstance
might not happened again in life.
time, yet chance ~roved capable OF
making victims of three persons.
Only a short time ago two airmen
were killed when a balloon In which
they were riding collapsed and fell
to the ground. 1t was supposed that
they had been struck by lightning
while in midair. Get in a collision
with nature and life is easily for
feited. There are certain well estab-
lished laws through which the uni
verse operates and when human lie
comes in contact with these laws
penalty must be paid. Fire, cleo
tricity, gunpowder are useful forces
in nature, but to attempt to hight
them is losing battle.
A man in California claims that ne
saved $500 year out of salary OF
$500, This happened recently since
the war closed.
1t is possible for a man to save
much more out of his salary than
the average person does. A young
woman working at $12 to $25 a week
saved $1,000 in three years. Besides
paying her board and room rent she
was able to dress well and enjoy
life.
The writer once wrote a magazine
story which was rejected by the pub
llshed solely upon the ground that the
heroine had saved 81, 900 after three
years of work at SIS a week. The
publisher said it was impossible; yet
in practical life it is not uncommon
for wage Garner to save much more
than this if he is willing to content
himself with the simple things OF
life.
We spend too much for trifles that
bring us nothing in return.
