ART OF SAVING MONEY. Tho Wisdom of Building Up Inotoad of Slicing Down. In the American Magazine a writer on the art of saving money says: "When an old uncle of mine died and left me a little bequest of $345 my first impulse was to 'even it oil,' ' and if it hadn't been for an old friend of my father's 1 think I would have succeeded in neatly par ing it down to zero. " 'What were you thinking of doing with that money?' lie asked casually one dav. "' Well/ I replied, 'I think I'll juat take that $45 and go for a little lake trip, and then I'll have $500 to put in the bank.' "'Why $500?' he said. 'Why not $545 ?' " 'Oh. 1 replied, 'you might as well have an even amount." " 'Do you suppose you could spare me $5 ?' he asked suddenly. "'Why, yes,' I replied, a little surprised that he should ask to borrow money of me, but 1 handed it to him. " 'All right, then,* he said; 'here's $5,' handing me hack that same bill. 'If you'll just put this with that $545 you'll Have $330, and that's a nice even amount. Now, if you'll put that in the bank, in three montha it will have earned $5.50 mora, and surely in the meantime you can scrape together $44.50, and then you'll have an even $000 instead of $500.' '"'Well, what could 1 do with $600?' I asked, not very much impressed, as the difference didn't seem worth the trouble. "'One thing you could da,' replied the old gentleman, 'would be to ask your banker to buy a thousand dollar bond for you or, rather, to lend you the extra $400, keeping the bond as security, and then it wouldn't be long before you would have $1,000, which for "even ' ? Uill- L -ii. amounts IS a lime ixm-r man $500/ "Then with a pencil and paper he showed me carefully just how long it would take. " 'Of course you don't have to do it if you don't want to, but 1 have noticed,' he went on thoughtfully, 'that this business of having a little by you is pretty much a matter of the way your mind works. Some people always want to even things off in money matters, others want to even them up, and once you get started at it, thinking up isn't much harder than thinking down. For instance, if I showed you 13 cents you might say, "I can 6pend 3 cents for popcorn, and then I'll have a dime," or you could say, "If I put 2 cents with that I'll have 15 cents." "'It's the downhill people, the people v/ho follow the path of least resistance, the people who slice off a little instead of building up a little, who never get anywhere in life.'" j Double Trouble. A youngster had been very rude to his mother, and she had turned him over to his father to be disciplined when the following conversation was overheard: "Ted, did you say so and so to your mother?" "Yes, dad." "Well, you will have to settle that matter with her, because she is your mother and not mine. But she is my wife, and I will not allow any man, young or old, to be rude to her. Now you must apologize to me for being rude to my wife, and then you can settle with your mother for being rude to her." Withering Winds. The name "harmatan" has been given to a wind which periodically blows from the interior of Africa "* - iii ?i:. .1 : lowara rue .auanuc uurwg i her, January and February. It is | heralded by a fog or dry haze, which sometimes conceals the sun for whole weeks together. Every plant, every bit of grass and leaf in its course is withered as though it had been seared by heat from a furnace. Often within an hour after it begins to blow green grass is dry enough to burn. Hearded Riches. Riches are intended for the comfort of life and not life for the purpose of hoarding riches. I asked a wise man, saying, "Who is the fortunate man. and who is the unfortu nate?" He said: "That man was j fortunate who spent and gave away I and that man unfortunate who died and left behmd. Pray not for that good for nothing man who did nothing, for no passed his life in hoarding riches and did not spend them." ?Sadi. Evidence. "There goes another married man," said the girl at the candy counter. "How do you know?" asked the cashier. "He used to buy a three pound box of candy twice a week, and now he buys half a pound once a month." ?Philadelphia Ledger.
