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."
