Iriih Twins Co to Church.
The next Sunday 11 the McQueen
family went to masi and Mrs. Mc
Queen wore her new shawl. The
chapel was quite a. distance away,
and as they walked and all the
neighbors walked, too, they had a
pleasant time talking together along
the way.
Dennis and the Twins walked to
gether, and Larry and Eileen told
Dennis all about the fairy and about
selling the pig to the Lady Kath
leen, and "Begorra," said Dennis,
"hut that little pig was after bring
ing you all the luck in the world,
wasn't he?" ' Y
All the other boys and girls want
ed to hear about it. Most of them
had never been to a fair. So Eileen
and Larry talked all the way to
church, and that was two miles and

The Reason Rita Brown "Asked
How Madge Felt.
' When I awakened it vas tXthe
consciousness of Dicky's race clse
to mine, his arms still clasping me.
Some one his mother most prob
ablyhad piled pillows behind him
to relieve the strain of his position,
and his eyes were closed.
I guessed that when he had
- finally seen me sound asleep he
had dozed off himself, and '-I de
bated for a moment upon the ad
visability of waking him. ,-lhe
thought of the strained arm muscles
which must be his from the. long
vigil quickly decided me. and 1
stirred in his arms, spoke softly:
."Dicky!" .
His eyes flew open instantly, and
he started convulsively. Then he
looked anxiously at me.
"What .is if, sweetheart? ,ln
pain?" . , L t. 'a
From the couch where she had
been sleeping my mother-in-law
sat tip, fluickly.
"Whars the mutter? Is she feel
ing worse?" she demanded.
For an instant I reveled in the
luxury of being the -object of so
much solicitude, then answered
cheerily and truthfully: t
"I am feeling ever so much bet
ter. But F am hungry."
Dicky consulted, his watch.
Mother Graham Commands.
"It's after 11. I'm' sure the diner
.must be on by this time. What
do you want?" . .
"It isn't a question of wnatMie
.wants," mv mother-in-law struck
in firmly. "It's what she can have.
You order a pot of weak tea and
two slices of dry toast without but
ter, and tell them to put a talt cel
lar on the tray. If she stands that
all right we'll see about something
else after a while."
I knew better . than to question
her dictum, even if .1 had cared
for more substantial fare than that
which she had outlined. When
Mother Graham is in charge of a
sick room she is a martinet whose
.lightest word must be obeyed.
Dicky savs she is more rigid than
"any trained nurse . who ever
steoned." T
"That sounds very tempting, 1
aid cheerilv.. but Dicky snorted as
with infinite care he raised nim--elf
from his cramped position and
put me tenderly back upon my
pillows. . . . .
"Ye, about as tempting M old
jvhat-do-vou-cal1him's teed of
prathf. one thev tell about in
the Bible." he said ironically

murely. . , ,
"That's the guv." my husband
said. "Gee. but you've got the ong
tongue and memory, Madge, to 'he
able to spiel that collection - of
sneezes off like that." .
i'Ricliard!" his mother interposed
st'ernlv. ''don't be irreverent."
vr'Who's irreverent ?" her son -demanded.
: "What did that lad etf
do to be treated with lowered breath
and- respfetful accents?" , '1
"He's in the Bible," his mother r e
plied, but I saw the corners of her
month, twitch,, and I knew that her
protest was onlv the perfunctory
one she felt called upon to make
whenever DicVv alluded in any man
ner to the Scriptures. It was a sort
of - automatic brake, which froi
long experience, of, Jier . son s cafes
less speech, she applied involun
tari'v. . ,
"So's the devil," Dicky began ar
gumentatively, but his mother cut
him'short. : - '
"Will you go and order that tea
and toast or.must I?" she demanded

dramatically, turned and grinned
immidentlv at. us both. t
"Sure I can't: make it a little
steak?" he said insinuatingly.
I shook my head weakly at htm,
but his mother snorted, and Dicky
scuttled out ef.the door.
Mother Graham bathed my face
and hands, rearranged the covers of
mv berth, lifting from me the wn
.jWful cloak belonging to MJ.

st-eneth and tfie inrreasiri": warmth

t of the berth where it could be
a half of talk the shortest way yu
could go.
Just as you neared the church,
what should they see but Grannie
M alone, coming in grandeur, riding
on a jaunting-car! Beside her was a
big man with a tall hat 011 his head.
"Tis her son Michael, back from
the States!" cried theTwins. "He
said in a letter hewas coming."
.They ran as fast as they could to
roach the church door in time to see
them go in. Everybody else stopped,
too. they were so surprised, and ev
erybody said to everybody else,
"Well, for dear's sake, if that's not
"Michael Malone come back to see
his old mother!" v
And then they whispered among
themselves, "Look at the grand
clothes on him, and the scarf pin
the bigness of a ha'-penny piece,
ind the hat! Sure, America must
be the rich place, entirely!"
And when Michael got out of the
cart nd helped out his old mother,
there were- many fTands held out for
him to shake, and many old neigh
bors for him to greet.
"TKU U a nrniirl dav for VOU."
Grannie Malone," said Mrs. Mc
Queen.
"It is," said Grannie, j'and a sad
day, too, for he's after! taking me
back to America, and 'tis , likely I'll
never set my two eyes on old ire
land agaiif, when once the width of
the sea conies between us."
She wiped her eyes as she spoke.
Then the bell rang to call the people
into the chapel. It was little the
congregation heard of the service
that -day, for however much they
tried they couldn't help looking at
Grannie's bonnet.

"You ought to have something hot
without delay."
"He'll get it here'-in the earliest
possible time," I said confidently,
and, indeed, it was but a short time
before he came back followed by a
waiter bearing a tray4. At his knock
Mother Graham opened the door,
and Dicky took the tray from the
man's hand.
At the Door.N -
"I'll attend to this." he said.
"Come back in half an hour for it."
."-Very well, sir," the man respond
ed respectfully.
As he left I heard Rita Brown's
voice hurriedly accosting Dicky.
"Oh. Dickybird I" she said sweet
ly. "The missus must be better if
you've ioined the waiters' union. I'm
so glad."
"Yes, she's better." Dicky An
swered curtly. "What's on , your
mind, Rita?":
His tone was smoothly imperti
nent, but it didn't affect the com-
posure of. Rita Brown. '
"Why, I thought perhaps she was
through with the coat Maj. Grant
land lent me," she said with assur
ance. "It's terribly draughty in the
corridor out here, and I'm afraid I'm

Jne;of he, military rules of
the early Danes was that it was
cowardly to attack - an enemy
during the night and, because of
this, the Scotch did not consid
er it necessary to keep a watch
during their encounters with the
invading army -from Denmark,
Sunset was supposed to mark
the close of all hostilities for
the day, in "spite of the fact that
unions and the 8-hour-law were
unknown in those days.
On one accasion, however, the
Danes deviated from "their rule
and determined to launch an on
slaught against one of the Scotch
strongholds. On they crept,
barefooted,: noiseless, unobserved
until one of them set his foot
upon a thistle and cried out with
pain. The alarm was given, the
Scotch fell upon the invaders and
defeated them with terrific
slaughter, shortly afterwards
adopting the thistle as their em
blem and adding the motto, "No
one wounds ine with impunity."
The date of the "thistle battle"
is not precisely known, but it far
antedates the founding of the
Order of the Thistle, also known
as the Order of St. Andrew, and
the thistle is mentioned as the
national emblem of Scotland in
the inventory of the effects of
James III of Scotland, and ap
pears upon the coins of James
IW V and VI.

NEW SOURCES OF
CAPITAL
By SAMUEL
SAVING is not merely a pastime; it has nothing to
do with the eleemosynary spirit, but unless the re
cipients p'f the largest aggregate income of the
country that is, the wage-earners return a portion of
their funds to industry that is, acquire an interest in it
and remove themselves from the strictly proletarian
or propertyless class, industry must languish for want
of capital and thus" languishing will not be able to pro
vide the goods out of which wages are paid. Hence
wages must decline and the propertyless class grow in
stead of diminish, and the moment that those who have
no stake in life reach the majority we shall have refo
1 lution and an overturn of society. In all fairness, if re
cannot so order our economic life that increasing oppor
tunities are open to all and being propertyless is a mat
ter of choice and not of compulsion, then a revolution
should come, for the present system will then have dem
onstrated its failure and some other system"has a right
to a hearing. .
I incline to doubt that We can reasonably exp&et co
operation toward a better system until the exact eco
nomic meaning of thrift is understood. It is necessary
to emphasize the employer's part in any investment plan
for wage-earners on the ordinary business principle that
a concern will rarely succeed in selling its product if -the
heads of that concern do not believe that it is a good
product. It is an axiom that anything njay be "put over"
for a while, but it is refreshing to know that nothing is
"put over" for long. Any successful employer counting
over those among his acquaintances who have succeeded
largely will quickly realize that those men have .been
successful in the degree of their belief in what they
make and sell. Take any of the remarkable personal
successes. The National Cash Register Company has
hada really marvelous career, but as far as John H.
Patterson is concerned, his chief interest has not been
in selling a machine, but in removing those who harfcITe
money from the temptation to theft. The primary in
terest of Henry Ford is in providing fast and che'ap
transportation so that the poor may have more leisure.
He thinks more of the. transformation that he has
brought about on' the farms than he does of the great
sums of money that he is incidentally accumulating.
,
Properly understood, .from this standpoint, there
is no reason that an employer shouldyiot have a positive
passion for the stimulation of hrift. Many successful
employer's haveithis passion. 'The most prominent ex-,
ample is probably Mr. George F. Johnson, the vice
president of the EndicotWohnson Company, who em
ploys more than 13,000 people and in his 30 years of
experience has never had, a strike. When he talks of
thrift he is talking of something that he practices and
when he makes an appeal it gets across. He ties, up
saving not with deprivation, but with getting more.
Here is a letter that he recently wrote to his people and
which is in many respects a model talk: "Please learn
as early as you can in life (and, having learned, keep it
constantly in mind) that it isn't what you get, in the
shape of financial returns for labor, that makes you any
better off. It's what you KEEP. Getting it and not mak
ing good use of it makes you poorer and much worse off.
It would be better for you to work for smaller wages
(so long as you had enough) than it would to get big
wages, and fool it away, and
and do you real injury, physically and mentally
It is comparatively easy to promote a thrift cam
paign. It is not difficult to engender an unusual desire
to save if with the desire is also the means of saving.
The idea can hardly be sold in abstract; it has to be
sold in connection with a dotted line -that is, in con
nection with a written promise to save.
- . '
Giving something that represents money in . return
for a laving is merely making easier the path to saving
by conforming to instead of running against the pqpular
idea however ureasonable that idea may be.- , A
