Lesson of Times Value

One morning when Benjamin Frank
lin was industriously preparing his
newspaper for the press, man
stepped into his shop and consumed
an hour or more browsing among the
books displayed for sale. Finally, Sc
lecting one, he inquired the price from
Franklin's helper.
zone, dollar" was the boys reply.
"One dollar!" said the customer
Cant you take less than that?"
mo, indeed, one dollar Is the price,"
A little later, still unsatisfed, the
customer accosted the boy again
'Is Mr.. Franklin at homer
Eyes, he is In the printing Office"
The boy called to Mr.. Franklin, who
was soon behind the counter ready for
business. A
"Mr. Franklin, what is the lowest
you can take for this book?"
"One dollar and quarter, SIR
zone dollar and a quarter? Why,
your boy just said 1t was only one dol

have better afforded to have taken a
dollar then than to have been taken
out Of my Office"
Come, Mr.. Franklin, you're Joking.
What is your lowest price?"
"a dollar and a half!"
."Why, you yourself, Doctor Frank
lin, only five minutes ago said the
price was one dollar and a quarter"
Yes, my dear sir, but that was five
minutes ago. and / might better have
taken dollar and quarter then than
lose so much time. My time Is money"
The young man took another look
at Franklin, quickly paid the dollar
and half, and hastily retreated from
the shop to circulate the story Of the
queer doings of certain printer and
his high-handed way of doing bust

BAN JOHNSON 0USTED
 FROM LEAGUE PRESIDENCY

CHICAGO - Byron Bancroft Johnson has been relieved Of his duties as president of the American Baseball League. until he has re covered his health sufficiently ta resume office. and Frank Neyin oi the Detroit club. has been appoint ed acting president.
 This action came as the result oi a resolution, adopted unanimously by eight club owners, which re- commended that Johnson take much needed rest, and gracefully shelyed the man who founded the organization in 1900 and has been president for 27 years, while yindi- eating Judge Landis for his action in the Cobb-Speaker scandal.
 Since Ban Johnson will probably never enjoy sufficient health to permit him to resume his former duties. the action of baseball mag mates is tantamount to the passing of baseball's former "Czar." He is suffering from a complication of Bright's Disease, diabetes and hard ening of the arteries, and has been near collapse several times.
