Dollar
Decoys
Did you know that there was
a relationship between dollars
Well it must be true anyway
Did you ever notice that once
a man sets a few dollars others
seem to fly into his pocket as
if by magic Most of the dol
lars of the United States are
gathered together in large
amounts The more dollars a
man gets the faster others join
them You may be unable to
account for this but it is true
nevertheless Collars like to
congregate Why not start a
congregation of your own
Lets explain You make quite
a bit of money dont you You
spend it dont you Well now
just for once try putting a few
dollars just a few in this
bank See if others dont fol
low The first few act as a
decoy You are cordially in
vited to place your decoys
In this bank We are sure that
by using one of our bank books
for a blind you will be able
to bag considerable

If youll make me rich Ill make
the people prosperous If you dont 1
make ire rich Ill have to let them
be poor This is the standard argu
ment of seekers after special
lege whether tariffs franchises or
big profits The nilroad managers
have argued that by letting them
make large profits their employes
would get larger waies the business
man in turn larger orders and busi
ness go swimmingly Now that
their rate increase is denied they tell
gloomingly how the public is to suf
fer Doubtless there will be a dis
position on the part of railroad man-
agers to curtail employment and
wages and service partly out of
belief that the rates allowed
are too low and partly with the hope
of making the policy of regulation un
popular But granting the ocmmis
sions decision is fair though not
what the railroads would like such
evil effects cannot last Clearly we
cannot make ourselves prosperous by
paying out a dollar on the chance of
getting half a dollar back Higher
rates granting them unjust as the
commission holds vould check busi
ness much more than a temporary re
fusal of the railroad managers to keep
up wages and service Lincoln Jour

FINE AMATEUR PERFORMANCE
The Mask and Wig Dramatic Club
Are Open to Congratulations
The Mask and Wig Dramatic club
may well congratulate themselves on J
the success of their second annual
production Our Alma Mater Tues
day evening in the Temple theatre
The young ladies and young gentlemen
engaged in this comedy gave a good
and consistent account of themselves
indeed and a fine audience of sym- j
pathetic and appreciative citizens and
friends gave them a hearing of which
they may be pioud as well
The leading characters in the pro
duction were assumed with no little
skill and intelligent appreciation by

with music The music numbers con
sisted of a chorus by the entire com
pany and solos by Miss Elsie Camp
bell and Miss Florence Rosebush
Both cf the soloists earned and re
ceived hearty applause and responded
to encores
Avoiding invidious distinctions the
play was ylven with a uniform excel
lence mtsc cred able to the club and
they ate the recipients of words of
merited approbation not a few
A large orchestra added an appre
ciated element
The special scenic effects were
creditable and the auto scene show

An Artists Joke
Holman Hunt who began lifeas a
clerk to an auctioneer and estate
agent was constantly drawing por
traits when he should have been draw
ing up leases and in his chosen pro
fession he was never slow to seize the
flyjng moment The windows In his
room were made of ground glass and
as he had little to do he spent much
of his time in drawing flies upon its
roughened surface A blot of ink suf
ficed for the body and some delicate
pencil strokes for the wings and at a
distance the deception was perfect
Day by day the number increased and
one morning his employer came in
stopped before the window and ex
claimed I cant make out how it is
Every day that I come into this room
there seem to be more and more flies
And taking out his handkerchief he
attempted to brush them away
Patchwork
The idea that patchwork had its
origin In America is not founded on
fact A thousand years before the
Christian era a queen of Egypt went
down the Nile to her last resting place
under a wonderful canopy of skins
that were dyed and pieced together in
a mosaic pattern Years before this
work had reached perfection and ac
quired a definite place among the arts
Then too patchwork quilts were made
in England in the eighteenth century
as witness the line written by Cow
per to a Mrs King upon receipt of a
kind present of a patchwork quilt of
her own making Womans Home
Companion
A Mighty Man
Topham the prince of English
strong men had knots of muscles
where the armpits are in the ordinary
man He could take a bar of iron one
and one half inches in diameter and
five feet long place the middle of it
over the back of his neck and then
force the ends forward until they met
before his face On one occasion he
called upon a village blacksmith and
made of him an everlasting enemy by
picking up a number of horseshoes
and snapping them in two as easily as
if they had been pine sticks
