was on a big city daily-though I'd
been married to Dan six months be-
fore l found that out. Even then l
had to insist on his going into the
business. Dan is timid. That's why
he needs me-"
Somehow the little printing office
with its weekly newspaper attachment
prospered, and when JOS father, who
had forgiven her but who was still
not on the best of terms with her, de-
cided to sell out 10 and Dan went
over to buy him out.
BUY me outI" roared old Mr.. Bran
ming, running his hand through his
bristling gray hair. "What have you
got to buy me out withf"
1--WE can pay half cash." answered
Dan. We've saved quite bit in five
years, you know-that is, my wife>has.
l give her all the credit"
Mr.. Branning let them have the
business at a decent figure and from
that time on Hlllville began to look
upon Dan jenkins with much admira-
ton. For he was getting such a good
living out of his place OF business that
10 was enabled to retire to the new
house he had bought on Pleasant
street and give her whole time to
homemaking and to the twins who
had arrived a short time before. Also,
to her father, who had come to live
with her. Never was there prouder
grandparent than Mr.. Branning, for
one of the boys bore his name, Will
liam. The other boy was named after
Dan. Dan and Bill. And they were
going to be printers When they grew
up.
printers ink runs in their blood,
too" 10 laughed the night she gave
the big birthday party for her father.
The twins had been ushered in for
few minutes for the delectation Of the
guests.
1t was happy occasion. 10 was
lovely in her new black gown which
she had made trip to the city to
purchase. Dan, who had grown 9 bit
stout, was a genial host. Mr.. Bran
ming was full of delight, good for
twenty years yet, and going to be able
to enjoy them all. The house was
warm, attractive, brilliantly lighted.
The refreshments were the best to be
had.
"What do you think of my bargain
now?" 10 whispered, slipping her arm
about Mary Boyd. Don't you think /
was wise and that I've done pretty
well for myself?"
Mary drew long breath as she
gazed out over the gay roomful OF
chattering folks.
"You, being you, couldn't make q
bad bargain, 10, to save your life"
she answered sincerely.

Wearing of VeIUet Banned

So popular was velvet and SO ex-
travagant the costumes of the times
that in Henry Wis reign 1t was for
hidden, whether in gowns, jackets or
coats, to persons whose income came
under 200 marks per annum. Grim
son or blue velvet was forbidden to
those under the degree Of Knight of
the Garter with the exception Of the
heirs of knights and barons, who
might have crimson velvet, woven
with tinsel, in their doublets. Black
velvet was sumptuous for mourning
and very becoming. Also at that
time inherited estates were so vast
that the wardrobe of the heir may
have taken on a hint of festivity. At
any rate, mourning robes became so
magnificent that decree was passed
forbidding more than 10 yards to the
robe of a duke, IA to an earl, II to
viscount, and to a baronet.

Saving by No Means
Sum Total of Thrift

To be thrifty means to thrive In
a broad sense rather than just to save
in a narrow sense.
The training of the child should not
be along the lines of saving alone,
because such narrow training might
lead to selfishness and avarice. The
proper administration of ones per-
sonal affairs must include sound prin-
ciples of spending and investing as
well as the mere mechanical process
of saving.
Some bankers and some thrift
teachers are fond of calling the squir-
rel a thrifty animal. He is thrifty to
the extent that he saves his food sup
ply in the days of abundance against
the long cold days of approaching
winter The ant is more thrifty than
the grasshopper. But these merely
instructive practices are hardly anal
ogous to the needs of enlightened hui
man progress.
1t is the primary function Of saw
ings banks to teach the value of saw
ing In this they are doing great
and wonderful work in this country.
But as much as possible bankers also
should disseminate the -ound doctrine
that saving money alone is by no
means the sum total of thrift.-Thrift
Magazine.

Fat or Lean?

Good-natured, fat men are likely to
be successful in business. They are
at the head of big business organiza-
lions. Lean, hungry-looking men are
the successful political and military
leaders of the world. So say those
who diagnose character from appear
ance. They forget that Napoleon was
a little, plump man. No young man
can safely choose his line of work in
accordance with his physical charac-
teristics.
Young men, figuring on success in
life, sometimes take the closest, cas-
lest, most convenient job. To go into
a line you do not enjoy, that you are
not interested in, just because 1t is
convenient, is dead waste. Determine
the thing you are most interested in
and go after that, whatever the cost
and hardship.-Grove Patterson in the
Mobile Register.

Odd Foods in Many Lands

Crocodile meat is considered a good
food by natives of Africa, and south
ern negroes relish the tails of alliga-
tors, according to Popular Mechanics
Magazine In the West Indies fish
eyes are regarded as delicacy. Jel-
lyfish are eaten in Japan and, in many
places of the world, squid and octo-
pus are valued for food. In Polynesia
sea worm, the 'palolo," which aver
ages about 10 inches when fully
grown, Is caught and prepared into an
appetizing stew. Sentiment is against
snakes, but they are eaten in some
places and travellers testify that they
are often very tasty. Hawks, herons
and parrots are commonly killed for
food in parts of the tropics.

Wires Like Spider Webs

Overhead telephone wires are not
strung along the streets or alleys in
Brussels, but from steel towers taller
than the highest housetops, located
at regular points, from which the
wires radlate out and down in all d.

system covers the city without rela-
tionship to the street and alley plan.
1t is possible in Brussels where It
would not be in the United States, be-
