EOND BUYING WILL NOT RETARD
BUSINESS.
All financial observers are agreed
that the people are saving money to
in.st in the new bonds when they are
i-m-d. and that this according in a
large nn-a ure for the economies which
are being decried in some quarters.
There is no doubt that this hoarded
money, when it lias once been put
into bonds, will be as bread cast upon
the waters. For the money which these
bonds w ill produce will at once go into
industry and into agriculture in search
of supplies for our own armies and
those of our allies. In these channels
there will be a wide stimulation of
production, with consequent distribu
tion of money in wages and profits, so
that in the end thee will be the en
hanced business in all quarters which
is demanded.
BE A PATRIOT.
There are many ways of demonstrat
it.g patriotism besides shouldering a
gun and marching away to wars. Those
wi.o remain behind have their obliga
ms as well as those who go out to
he firing line. In a time like the pres
win’ll prices for foodstuffs soar
idler and higher with the prospect of

money to spare to lay in large supplies

future and take* the same chances and

will have to put up with. To do other

UNCLE SAM AS A DICTATOR.
The United Slates, drawn into the i
great war against its will, may become
the virtual dictator of the world be
fore the war is over. Realizing that
they are dependent upon the United I
States to feed thm as well as to fur- ,
nish the money and men needed to '
win the war, the allies will undoubt- (
edly defer greatly to the judgment of 1
the American president in all matters 1
of great importance. But America will j;
drive no unfair bargain. The Stars t
and Stripes will float to the breeze on <
the crmson fields of France, but jus- i
tice and humanity will march be- 11
neath its folds. :

3ACK OF CARDS—PRAYER BOOK
AND BIBLE.
A private soldier named Richard
Lee was taken before a magistrate
'or playing cards during service. It
ippears a sergeant commanded the
soldier at church, and when the par
son had read the prayers he took the
:ext. Those who had a bible took it
tut, but this soldier had neither bible
tor common prayer book, but pulling
tut a pack of cards he spread them
before him. He just looked at one
■ard then at another. The sergeant ol
he company saw him and said:
“Richard, put up the cards, this is
to place for them.”
“Never mind that,” said Richard.
When the service was over the
■onstable took Richard before the
nayor.
“Well, says the mayor, "what have
■ ou brought the soldier here for?”
"For playing cards in church."
“Well, soldier, what have you to say
'or yourself?”
“Much sir, I hope.”
“Very good. If not I will punish
•ou more than man was ever punish
ed.” “I have been,” said the soldier,
'about six weeks on the march. I
lave neither Bible nor common pray
er book. I have nothing but a pack
if cards, and I’ll satisfy youh honor of
lie purity of my intentions.”
And spreading the cards before the
nayor. he began with the ace.
“When I see the ace it reminds m«
hat here is but one God. When I
;ee the deuce it reminds me of Fatliei
md Son. When I seee the trey it re
ninds me of Father. Son and Holy
5 host. When I see the four spot, it
eminds me of the four evangelists
hat preached, Mathew, Mark, Luke,
iohn. When I meet the five, it re
ninds me of the five wise virgins that
rimmed their lamps—there were ten,
mt five were wise and five foolish
lud were cast out. When I see the
lix, it reminds me that in six days
iod made heaven and earth. When I
ee the seven, it reminds me on the
seventh day he rsted from the great
work he had created and hallowed it. j
The eight reminds me of the eight
righteous persons that were saved
when God destroyed the world, viz:
Noah and his wife, with three sons
and three wives. When 1 see the nine,
it reminds me of the nine lepers that
were cleansed by our Saviour, there
were nine out of ten who never return
ed thanks. When I see the ten it re
minds me of the ten commandments
which were handed down to Moses on
tablets of stone. When I see the king
1 am reminded of the King of Heaven
which is God Almighty. When I see
queen, I am reminded of the Queen of
Sheba, for she was as wise a woman
as Solomon was a man. She brought
with her fifty boys and fifty girls all
dressed in boys apparel, for King Sol
omon to tell which were boys and
which were girls. King Solomon sent
for water for them to wash; the girls
washed to their elbows and the boys
to their wrists, so King Solomon told j
by that.
“Well.” said the mayor, “you have
given a good descrption of all the
cards except one.”
“What is that?”
"The knave,” said the mayor.
"I will give your honor a description
of that too, if you will not be angry.”
“I will not,” said the mayor, “if
you do not term me to be the knave.”
“Well,” said he soldier, “The great
est knave I know of is the constable
i who brought me here.”
“I do not know',” said the mayor,
I “that he is the greatest knave, but 1
know he is the greatest fool.”
“When I count how many spots
there are in a pack of cards, I find
three hundred and sixty-five, as many •
days as there are in a year.
“On counting the number of cards
in a pack, I find fifty-two, the number
of weeks in the year, and I find four
suits, the number of weeks in a month.
I find there are twelve picture cards,
representing the number of months in
a year, and on counting the number
of tricks I find thirteen, the number
of weeks in a quarter.
"So, you see. sir, a pack of c a Is
serves for a Bible, an almanac and a
common prayer book.”
