What People Say.

We sometimes say we do not care
for gossip of the neighborhood; we
play the game, we're acting square,
just for the joy of being good. We do
not care what Dick may say, for the
remarks of Jake and Josh: we speak
thus as we go our way, and well we
know we're speaking tosh. I'd have
admiring neighbors say my credit has
no spot or speck; and If a bill Is
sprung today, sit me down and write
a check. All smilingly the coin l
cough, though in my heart l some
times balk: my impulse is to stand
men off, but I'm afraid of village talk.
| can imagine links or Jones relating
how / dodge my bills, and how / hate
to dig the bones that should be paid
for pigs or pills. / can perceive the
merchant prince informing patrons.
one by one, that it has been lonS
time since he saw the color of my
mon. / could not stand that sort or
shame, 'twould make my spirit sad
and blue; and SO you see me play the
game, and pay my bills as they fall
due. My impulse is to wear old duds,
and shabbily to go my way, to look
like one who digs the spuds or spends
his lifetime pitching hay. For 1t re-
quires a lot Of care to keep in shape
a nifty suit, to be in fashion and 10
wear the Numbered linen Of a pluto.
But when ! feel inclined to slump l
think Of those old caustic wights who
sit around the village pump and talk
of people, days and nights. And can
hear those withered gents remark,
He used to be a beau, but now he
looks like 20 cents. he's lost his grip.
we told YOU So" l could not stand 1t
if l knew that talk like this would
never cease; and so / wear a patent
shoe and see my trousers have

POWER OF
THRIFT

THERE is no value in accunu-
i lating money or other wealth
except for the comfort, pleasure
and enjoyment which you thereby
can provide for yourself and
others; your wish for contentment
as you grow older is the power
behind your thrift, according to
j. p. Yort, secretary and actuary
of the Acacia Mutual Life Assoc
citation, of this city.
You can be thrifty, you can save
your money, you can invest it
through a dozen different sources
and accomplish all that you wish
that is, YOU can do it if you have
good luck. if you retain your
health and if you live long enough.
If you stand alone you gamble
on these against your thrift; why
take these chances that your
wishes are never to be completed
when you can eliminate them by
securing the help of insurance?
Insurance guarantees that all
your wishes, the objects of your
thrift are fulfilled; for your own
benefit, il you lose your health;
for the benefit of your family if
you should pass away; and for the
benefit of yourself and yours when
YOU reach a, mature old age
