THE WHOLE STORY NEVER
is TOLD
Duluth Herald)

NDuAulH I1eIdIuD
A news item that is very dan
gerous to the peace of mind and
security Of good many people is
going the rounds.
1t is the story of a New York
Spectator who put twenty-five
hundred dollars into an oil stock
speculation, and who stands to win
a million and quarter if he can
get by a question that has been
raised as to the legality of his
transaction.
This sort of news item is dan
Perous because it always adde's
the wits of thousands of people
and starts them furiously shovel
ing their savings down some
speculative rat-hole, trying vainly
TO repeat the feat on their own be-
half.
And as not one in a million sue
ce' DIS. for every such phenomenal
winner there is "a vast army Of
losers.
But hope springs eternal in the
human breast, and those who re-
act to envy and greed instead of
to reason and common sense al
ways. when they hear br read
such story, say IF he could, why
can't -"
"Why" isn't so important as the
fact. which is that it is million
to one that they can't do it.
Then there is another side to
such stories, though few of those
who are tempted by them will be
interested in that. That side in
wolves the question what such a
sudden avalanche of unearned
wealth is going to do to the man
who gets it,
The man who can win a million
on shoestring and not have his
head turned and his usefulness
wrecked and his life ruined by
the experience is about as great
an exception to the rule as the
winner is to the rule that most
people who speculate lose.
That very notorious fact OUGHT
TO be as influential in inducing
people to steer clear of specula-
tons as the fact that few who
speculate win and that few who
win keep their winnings long.
For easy come. easy co." seems
TO be about as invariable a law as
the law of supply and demand.
But it is only the burnt child
that breads the fire. Probably un-
burnt fingers will continue to risk
the tempting blazes until time
ceases.

New York, Aug. 29.-In one of
those intimate night clubs, which
open at 1890 o'clock at night and
close the next morning when ste
nographers and office help are rush
ing to begin the days work, is a
dainty young woman who sings.
The club accommodates perhaps
200 guests and there is but one
waiter. The orchestra is composed
of a versatile piano player. Several
hostesses are employed to jolly up
anaemic groups.
The crowd begins to congregate
after the theater and then the frivol-
ity begins. Drinks are 81. There is
a small space for dancing.
Singing hectic jazz tidbits with
numerous variations the little song
lady keeps the crowd in good cheer
until late in the morning. 1t is then
she begins the grooming of mournful
melodies that appeal to the late hang
ers-on, especially the men.
Tears are shed in profusion and
the girl is requested to repeat vari-
Gus sorrowing numbers over and
over again. Men thinking of the
wife and family back in a midwest
ern town and women recalling the
happier days of their fleeing girl
hood.
It is a slow night that the songster
does not receive s25 in tips. Often
she gathers 20 much as $50. People
who. cry pay more than those who
laugh.
Hostesses who sympathize with
misunderstood men on a lark are
TIMED from IS to $50 for their syn

LETTER FROM BEATRICE GRIM
SHAW SUMMERS TO LESLIE
pRESCOTT

Dearest Leslie: 1t almost seems
wicked and unrighteous for me to be
so happy.
Leslie, my husband, Dick, is the
sweetest, dearest person in all the
world.
l have just read over the two SEN
fences | have written above, and l
think l blushed. Anyway, I've got
ten nice warm feeling as though
the blood had welled up from my
heart to my brain little faster
than it has ever done in my heart
before.
This doesn't sound like the old
sensible Bee, does it? Well, Pm not
the old sensible Bee. Pm just
blissfully happy woman who has
married the man she loves devoted
ly and found in him all the thought
fulness and love she had expected.
Today Pm thinking Of all the
other blissful brides, and hoping
they are all as happy as l am. Yet,
like all lovers, Dick and l have told
each other many times since our
marriage that no one in all the
world could ever nave been as happy
as we are.
! was awfully sorry you could not
be at my wedding. 1t seems a little
ungrateful to be writing this paean
of joy to you when you are at your
fathers bedside fighting against the
grim spectre. But oh, Leslie, want
ed to tell you all my happiness, for
| remember when you were married
and you wrote me how happy you
were, I could hardly imagine that
what you said could be true.
We arrived in Chicago yesterday
evening, and although l have been
here many times, even the smoky
old buildings and the more or less
dirty streets seem glorified to me.
This morning Dick informed me he
was going to be very busy with some

"It's about time the youngsters
had their teeth looked at" comment
ed Mrs. Jones otter one of the boys
came running in with toothache.
Getting them to the dentist is
like borrowing ten dollars the day
before pay day." g-untel Mr.. Jones.

So to the dentist the youngsters
were taken on the following day
and just in time.

Now there are number of things
that parents do not know about
teeth and a check on these would
help materially in watching their
children, and these will be present
ed in forthcoming fables.
In this particular fable the moral
should be to get the children to the
dentist before toothache begins; to
teach them to cleanse their teeth
and keep the mouth washed out and
clean.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
nv OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
WEENY SAVES THE CIRCUS

WEEN1 SAVES IHE ClKCUS
All the wood folk and meadow
folk and barnyard folk sat down on
the grass to see the circus that
Weeny, the elephant, and Nancy and
Nick, the Twins, and Toby, the dog,
and Prince, the pony, were having.
Thew wanted to get enough money
to finish their vacations.
And, dear knows, they should
have been happy, for everybody in
the county nearly was there. And it
did look as though they not only
could finish their vacations, but take
another one even when that one was
over-with such a crowd m all.
Weeny started the acts.
First he came in and made bow,
and then he started to waltz. And
he waltzed and waltzed and waltled
until he was dizzy.
After that he stood on. his hind
legs and walked around the circus
ring holding his trunk in a loop over
his head. -
Everybody clapped at that, and
then Weeny made another bow.
Next Nancy came out and Weeny
lifted her onto his back.
The next thing she did was to
climb up on his head and slide down
his trunk like a toboggan slide. Then
Weeny Law down and when he stood
up, no Nancy was to be seen.
But on looking closer. there she
was, right under Weeny's body, COM
pletely hidden from view.
Next Prince the pony came trot-
ting in.
And his act was to run zig-zag in
and out of Weeny's four legs, this
wa? and that, while the elephant
stood still.
After that Toby came out and
jumped on Princes back. And he
rode around and around on the
pony's back without saddle or bride.
Next Toby and Prince ran a race.
First Prince was ahead, then Toby
was ahead, and then they were a tie.
But finally Prince won, and every
body clapped.
After that Nick came in and did
some somersaults. Then he did a
lot of cartwheels, and handsprings,
1t was really quite exciting.
Everybody was so interested in
the circus acts that they never
thought of another thing.
my goodness! It's certainly worth
five CENTS" said Daddy Cracknuts.
Its even worth six cents. Don't
you think so, MAJ"
II should say So" said Mrs. Crack
nuts. 81 wouldn't begrudge seven
cents, even. It isn't every day that
one sees an elephant. 1t is one of
the best circuses l ever"
But she didn't finish. All at once
great creature made a jump over
the bushes where the circus was and
stood right before them crashing his
teeth and grinning, his long red
tongue licking his nose hungrily.
"Ah, hal" said Mr.. Fox, for that's
who it was. $50 foxes are not al
lowed in! Well, I'm in, and I'm hun
Pry, and Pm going to have a good
dinner! ! don't know whether to
have squirrel pie, or rabbit soup, or
roasted woodchuck, Or"
But he never finished, for at that
minute Weeny's long trunk reached
over bush and grabbed him.
And then he threw him so far
away that l think Reddy Fox must
be going yet. At least he never
came back. And the circus people
were safe once more.

Complain of
Small Salaries

London, Aug. 29.-Members of the
Labor party who have been elected
to Parliament find that the salary
