Is Saving Foolish?

"The boy who saves is not much
good, his heads composed of cotton
wood" To this effect a great man
spoke, nor meant the statement as
joke. So high and prominent he
stands. his names familiar in all lands.
and what he says will cut much ice,
for people follow his advice. And doubt
less countless boys will say. Its time
to cast old rules away; when such a
man, so great and wise. finds saving
noxious in his eyes, it's time for lads to
get in line and blow the greats they
have in brine. Our fathers and our
gran0Sires say We ought to put the
coin away, but they are relics of a past
at which we moderns stand aghaSt" I
DO not care how great the man who
advocates this foolish plan, think his
counsel is threat, and he would put
the world in debt. When we are young
it's good to learn to save part of what
we earn, to put the rubles in a crock. to
hide the kopecks in the clock. It's
good to learn how money grows when
to the savings bank it goes, and how
a youth may find content in contem-
plating four per cent. The lessons
taught by timely thrift will later many
burdens to lift; the man who learned
when but youth to patronize the
bankers booth, who knows the bliss a
bundle gives, will bless that prudence
while he lives. The boy who doesn't
learn to save, who would like prodiga!s
behave, who bids the useful groat be-
gone. won't learn his lesson later on.
He'll always find yawning hole where
there should be an ample roll.

bound. He knew that sound. Foot
steps were approaching.
Now, Spooky had planned that the
instant that lid should be lifted, he
would fly out. But it is one thing to
plan and another thing to do what you
have planned. The lid of that grain bin
was thrown open suddenly and it let
light in with rush. 1t was all so I'M
expected that all Spooky could do was
to blink. You see, he couldn't adjust
his eyes to the light so quickly. &c. of
course, he didn't fly out. Farmer
Browns Boy saw Spooky at once. Such
funny look as there was on the face
of Farmer Browns Boy.
We'll, well, WE'LL" exclaimed Farmer
Browns Boy. Just see who's here!
What are you doing in the grain bin
and how under the sun did you get
caught?"
Just then Farmer Browns Boy saw
the tail of rat ranging from Spooky's
mouth. He chuckled when he saw this.

young rat in here and you couldn't re-
sist the temptation. 1t must be that
I left the lid open. I wonder who
closed it. Well, seeing you're here, I
think I'll take you out"
Farmer Browns Boy reached in for
SpOOKy. SpOoKy started 10 ny, Dut
couldn't get past the arm of Farmer
Browns Boy. He dropped back Then
he tried to bluff. He fluffed out all his
feathers Just as Black Pussy raises the
hair on her tail when she is frightened
or angry. He put his head down and
half raised his wings. He glared with
those yellow eyes of his, as only an Owl
can glare He looked surprisingly fierce
for one SO small. He snapped his bill
Warningly. He Kissed. Altogether, he
made very fierce appearance.
Farmer Browns Boy just laughed.
Stop your bluffing, Spooky," said he
you know very well you can't scare
an old friend like me. I'm just going
to take you right out of here"
Farmer Browns boy moved his hand
quickly. Spooky struck at it, but he
didn't touch it. And then Farmer
Browns Boy had him, pinning his wings
to his sides and holding him so that
he could not use those big, sharp
claws. Spooky was helpless. He was
very, very angry But after Farmer
Browns Boy stroked him bit he felt
better. OF course, he wondered what
Farmer Browns Boy was going to do
with him. I suspect you are wondering,
too. Well, for a few minutes, Farmer
Browns Boy wondered himself.

Oxygen Injected Into the System.

An English medical publication of
recent issue contains an article by DR.
T. S. Kirk, describing simultaneous in
jections of oxygen which he has ad-
ministered in several hundred cases
with uniformly satisfactory results. Ad-
ministered in this manner oxygen
certainly does not produce any lung
trouble or aggravate any existing lung
trouble, as it may when inhaled, even
if heated. According to DR.. Kinks ex-
perience simultaneous injections of
oxygen, besides being of great use in
cases of pneumonia, are of value in all
cases of anoXemia, and these are nu-
merouS and serious. Chloroform or
postanesthetic sickness, is due to
acidoSis, and all Kinks patients, before
being removed from the operating table,
are given dose of oxygen, with the
result that sickness is much dimin-
ished.

Spooky was a prisoner in Farmer
Browns grain bin in the barn. He was
a badly frightened prisoner. He had
flown down in there to catch a young
rat and the lid had fallen. For while
he forgot the young rat But presently,
when nothing happened, Spooky re-
membered the young rat. L may as
well have a good meal anyway" thought
he, and proceeded to eat the young rat.
He had swallowed all but the tail. The
tail was hanging from one corner of his
mouth, when he heard sound outside
the grain bin. Spooky's heart gave
