Varied Ideas About Money and It's Uses

Probably more has been said and
written about money than any other
subject under the sun. Fielding, who
spoke with the authority of magis-
trate. once commented that money is
the fruit of evil as often as the root
of it," Doctor johnson said, Money,
in whatever hands, will confer power
In 1.-THE Way of All Flesh" Samuel
Butler wrote that money Is like a
reputation for ability-more easily
made than kept" His modern disci-
pie. G. Bernard Shaw, goes farther
and says, ANY fool can save money /;
1t takes wise man to spend it," b.
con wrote, money is like manure; Of
little use unless it be spread" A
quotation from Horace reads, money
amassed either serves or rules u.s."
John Stuart Mill, in his monumental
work, "The Principles of Political
Economy" points out that furs, cow
rie shells and even cubes of COM
pressed tea have been used in various

hated; it was McTaggart who had
hurt him, McTaggart who had hurt
Pierrot, McTaggart who had made
him lose his beloved Nepeese-and
McTaggart was here on this trap-line!
If he had been wandering before,
without object or destiny, he was
given a mission now. 1t was to keep
to the traps. To feed himself. And
to vent his hatred and his vengeance
as he lived.
The second night Baree lay with a
full stomach in thicket of banksian
pine; the third day he was travelling
westward over the trap-line again.
Early on this morning Bush Nc
Taggart started out to gather his
catch, and where he crossed the
stream six miles from Lac Balm he
first saw Baree's tracks. He stopped
to examine them with sudden and I'M
usual interest, falling at last on his
knees, whipping off the glove from his
right hand, and picking up a single
hair
"The black wolff"
He uttered the word in an odd,
hard voice. and involuntarily his eyes
turned straight In the direction of the
Gray Loon. After that, even more
carefully than before, he examined

glace kid oxfords. They are as soft as
a kid glove and are beautifully nodded
to the lines of the foot.
The most interesting factor in fall
footwear is the variety of beautiful
feathers, and unlike the satin shoe
the designs are ornate and show novel
combinations. Much attention is paid
to unique strappings so designed as
to accent a high patrician instep.
Note this effect in the picture.
Judging from the colorfulness of
our present-day apparel, the world
of fashion seems TO have Joined In
one grand refrain of three cheers
for every tone and tint in the rain

places as money. He goes on to say
that money is commodity and its
value is determined. like other COM
modities, temporarily by demand and
supply, permanently and on the aver
age by cost of production"
No article about money would he
complete without quoting an Ameri-
can. 1t seems typical of the American
mind always to couple money with
work-they rarely refer to the one
without the other. Thus John D.
Rockefeller: II determined that, in
addition to working for money, would
make money work for me."-John O.
London's Weekly.

one Of the clearly impressed tracks
in the snow. When he rose to his
feet there was In his face the look
of one who had made an unpleasant
discovery.
"a black wolff" he repeated, and
shrugged his shoulders. "Bah Lerue
is fool. 1t Is a dog" And then, aft
err moment, he muttered in voice
scarcely louder than a whisper, "ner
dog"
All that day Bush McTaggart fol-
lowed a trail where Baree had left
traces Of his presence. Trap after trap
he found robbed. And from the first
disturbing excitement of his discovery
of Barees presence his humor changed
slowly to one of rage, and his rage
increased as the day dragged out. He
was not unacquainted with four-footed
robbers Of the trap-line, but usually
a wolf or a fox or a dog who had
grown adept in thievery troubled only
q few traps. But in this case Baree
was travelling straight from trap to
trap, and his footprints in the snow
showed that he stopped at each. There
was, to McTaggart, almost a human
devllishness to his work. He evaded
the poisons. Not once did he stretch
his head or paw within the danger
zone of deadfall. For apparently no
reason whatever he had destroyed a
splendid mink, whose glossy fur lay
scattered in worthless bits over the
snow. Toward the end Of the day
McTaggart came to deadfall in
which lynx had died. Baree had
torn the silvery flank of the animal
until the skin was Of less than half
value. McTaggart cursed aloud, and
his breath came hot.
The third day McTaggart did not
return to Lac Balm, but began a cau-
tious hunt for Baree. An inch or two
of fresh snow had fallen, and as If to
take even greater measure of ven
geance from his man-enemy Baree
had left his footprints freely within a
radius Of hundred yards of the
cabin. 1t was half an hour before Nc
Taggart could pick out the straight
trail. and he followed this for two
hours into a thick banksian swamp.
Baree kept with the wind. Now and
then he caught the scent of his pur-
suer; a dozen times he waited until
the other was so close he could hear
the snap of brush, or the metallic
click of twigs against his rifle barrel.
And then, with a sudden inspiration
that brought the curses afresh to Nc
Taggart's lips, he swung in wide
circle and cut straight back for the
trap-line. When the Factor reached
the line. along toward noon, Baree had
already begun his work. He had
killed and eaten a rabbit: he had
robbed three traps in the distance. of
q mile, and he was headed again
straight over the trap-line for Post
Lac Balm.
1t was the fifth day that Bush Nc
Taggart returned to his post. He was
in an ugly mood. Only Valence of the
four Frenchmen was there, and it was
VaIence who heard his story, and aft
erward heard him cursing Marie She
came into the store a little later, big
eyed and frightened, one of her cheeks
flaming red where McTaggart had
struck her.

IA Regular Army of 10000 could
be organized, in my opinion, into a
well balanced, modern defense estab-

dictate a minimum strength conSid-

appropriations would maintain a larger
numerical force than at present If
we neglected the allied questions OF
supply and training. Men without
weapons only make u useless sacri-
flee. Weapons without trained men
are without immediate military value.

If l haven't put it wrong.
Then we took short vacation
And rested up a bit
And when we started in again
Decided three chairs to get.
So we gave another food sale
We engaged with pan and spoon
And took in so many dollars
The committee went to work soon
We held another meeting
To decide upon the kind
And after some discussion
We soon made up our mind.
Then sisters Stewart and Caldwell
Took the funds we had in store
Said there was a little lacking
And that we'd need some more.
So we held a special meeting
To talk it Ger again
Decided to give sufficient.
To bring this to an end.
And then we sat awaiting
Listening the call for more
But thanks unto the drayman
There was sure a surprise in store.
He hauled them down for Thank
You"
And placed them in the room
So our labors ended
But for us tbs not too soon.
And so to the church officials
These chairs we gladly present
For with pride we have closed the
bargain
On them we don't owe one cent.

And then for more amusement
We should each one make a

And we thot we'd done quite good
But as the dollars we gathered
So the Ideas grew,
And we decided instead of one chair
We surely could get two.
Then we started out all over

And took in Is dollars
On salads, pies and cakes.
Next we gave little social

And invited in the husbands
And ask them all to bark.

Institute at Los Angeles, California
OF all great things

The greatest is Opportunity.
In the busy life
There is much to do
And we need the boys
And we need girls, too;
The young and alert,
Filled with sweet optimism,
Whose feelings aren't hurt
Under kind criticism;
Who want to be helpful
And useful and kind
And take up life's trials
With broad keen-cut mind.
We want men and women
Who will be "at attention"
And ready to do
Any work you might mention;
Who know life's hard duties
AS they might know a book,
And meet all its frowns,
With a calm, pleasant look;
Who know how to do
Many kind little deeds
They were not hired to do,
For these are the seeds
That soon blossom richly
On life's busy way
And the garden of Friendship
Is planted for aye.
Are. you one of these people
Who so badly is needed?
Have you grasped Opportunity?
Listened? Needed
