old-time sage advice of the kaxoVheaa

set many men to saving. They fix

There Is something in it that acts as
a stimulus to economy. Aad who,
win deny that economy is a good
thing or that any truth that lights
the way to it should not be known?
Many men, therefore; have been
buoyed up In their economies by the
belief that the first fMM Is the hard
est to get, and that afterward all the
rest would be easy aad the good
things of the world that follow a boun
teous supply of money would be with
in easy reach; says a writer fa the
Denver Republican. It Is a pity that
the maa who invented that saying
ceuld not also have told us with
equal advantage how to turn the fl,Ht
over and make two et it t takes a
long time to make a wage-earner see
that "money works. His Idea of mak
ing money is to work for it himself
It never occurs to him that, money
works much easier than ha can and
without any of the hardships he
himself experiences that is to say,
until ha has got the first ttOaf.
That usually makes a' young maa feel
like a financier, and ha talks wisely

use of nslag a barrel aa a breakfast
table? Just to live up to the spirit
of the occasion? I might add that I
saw n cut-glass bowl sitting noclaaly
wlth the andirons "
i wish you would go along to taa
oflce," said Mrs. Bowertoa, n trine
sharply. "A man hasn't the slightest
Idea what it means to move, to sty
nothing of packlag np to move hy
train. ' He gets out of it aU. If yon'
had to find a place to put forty-eleven
thiags that haven't any place aad
with the children about me aad the
cook ready to leave Tm simply tired
to death."
Bowertoa was not synrpathetic, be
cause his best dgarss had been
crashed under a pile of books. "Ton
dont sot at it with system," he per
sisted: "System!" snapped his wife. "Mov
ing is chaos, aad if anyone can iafase
system into chaos rd Ilka to meet
the person."
"Anyhow,' Bowertoa said, mag
nanlmously, Til be on haad the last
day to help yon out
"After everything ia all packed and
ready," suggested his wife, .with
deadly sweetness.
Bowerton was true to his word. On
the day the movers were to come for
the goods he evea sat on one box and
uncomplainingly ate breakfast off an
other box and did not allude to the
fact that he had no napkin.
Mrs.. Bowertoa turned the hot wa
ter on the few breakfast dishes, and
spoke over her shoulder. "Please
wrap these aad put(them in that open
barrel," ahe'said. ,,
Fifteen minutes later as aha
hastened through the kitchen she
found her husband gazing with pride
on the lumps sticking up through the
excelsior in the barrel.
"Now whatr he asked, brightly.
"Any one with human intelligence,"
Now Whatr Ha Asked Brightly.
said Mrs. Bowermaa, "would put the
cover on the. barrel. Did yon think
it would go safely that way? And to
think that Jamie should have the
earache on- this of all mornings!"
When the chief mover announced
that they couldn't box the piano be
cause the whole front of the box was
gone his apparent unconcern aroused
wrath in Bowerton's soul. The dis
aster seemed not to make the remot
est difference to the mover.
"There waa a whole piano box when
we moved into this flat," Bowertoa
asserted, Indignantly.
"Well, there hain't now," said the
mover. ''Bill, are yeh goin to the
fight to-nightr
A few minor troubles such as
couches that were not roped and
boxes that flew open and spilled the
contents and the discovery that her
tailor suit she had planned to weai
was packed and gone and that the
table leg had pierced Bowerton's new
hat were met 'and passed over grim
ly. There really' did. not seem to be
anything for him to do, hut Bowertoa
did it with all his might
When the last thing had vanished
into the huge wagon Bowerton stood
on the walk watching its departure
Crimmins, who lives down the street,
came by.
"Working hardr he asked.
Bowerton beamed at him with the
conscious virtue of one who has la
bored for a couse.
"Ifs no Joke," he said, valiantly
"Been getting things off. Of course,
my wife had been sort of getting
things together, but when it came to
the real workI took a haad myself
I tell you, it was no pfcaks."-

were killed at Daavers
' that winter V it
aataral that their departed spirits
should get back by tamperta' with the
aigaals and net the operatia'- depart
meat of the road hy Urn ears.
"What seemed to make the- spook
theory mora plausible waa that jthe
tampering with the aigaaw did not
begin, until after aesjotiations with the
railroad company by Bailey's relatives
for damage claims had become dead
locked. "Bat r wouldn't fall for- any such,
thlagimajigs ia mine. However, the
aigaals up that way ceatiaued to ptoy
hob with us, V reports 'n' complaints
at the main office didn't bring any !m
provenMat. There was a reign of ter
ror among the traia crews.
"I was comin' east oae night with
first 84, the livestock express, 'a' only
had tost aa much time as the law al
lows to get la 'a' make the expert
steamer with 'em. I wasn't thtakta'
much nhout spooks or spirits, but Just
sserely payla attention to business.
"I was shakla' 'em along right lively
when comin' along there by Daavers
Crossia' the red light on the signal
pole was shiaia' as brightly as the big
ruby iathe rajah's crowa. I kept
steam on Just as long as I possibly
could, thlakia' that the signal would
turn to white. Bat it didn't, 'a I came
to a dead stop. -
"From what I could net the track to
the block 'ahead was Just as clear as
a politician's conscience. However, I
had to wait the required ten minutes
before procedto'. WeU, sir, the lan-
I used about spooks 'a' auto-
tic block aigaals to. general while
we 'were staadla' there would have'
sterilised milk.
"AU of a sudden down behind a
bash near the tracks was a splaahhv.
walleria' sound, as If some one had
slipped 'a' made n false step ia the
ditch. Immediately I thought It a
part of -my duties to. go down there
'a' investigate. Mebbe I might see
Farmer Bailey's shade 'a' talk him
out of this foolishness of tryin' to get
hep tamperta' with oar signal system.
"I ran down the' bank toward the
bush. The spook saw me comta first
V evidently not wtohia' to he Inter
viewed, started to leg it across lots,
nw to fuU pursuit.
"It heat aay Marathon cross-country
race you ever saw, my contest with
that shade. He was pretty swift oa
his spindles V Tm no sellin' plater
myself.
' "I was closia' the gap on him pretty
rapidly ' I was Just mad, enough to
give that ghost a good slap'oB the halo
whea I caught up to him. Comin' to a
little brook crossia' the lot the spook
decided not to take the Liverpool an'
he stopped so suddenly that I nearly
went through hiss.
" 'WeU,' I says, swiagla' him
the pleasure Is an mine. Ton

strangely familiar, but that' belonged
to no spook, it's all Brine. I saw It
first. You Just hike back to your train
