DID YOU EVER TYK IT?
All of us are engaged in the pur
suit of the almighty dollar: The
amount which we say in our middle
age, will, be sufficient may be not
large, in fact it may be only enough
to meet our daily needs. Yet we, in
our daily work strive for the "filthy
],ucre," some with covetousness and
others with the desire to obtain only
for their needs. This man's salary
is twice that of hid neighbor and still
the neighbor always has ready money
and the man with the larger income
has his money spent before he re
ceives it. The difference in people
is not to be accounted for. Here is a
stingy, mizerly fellow there one go
ing to the other extreme, generous
to a fault. And again, here are two
men, each with the same income, the
same expenses, the same likes and
dislikes, as much alike in aims and
desires as it is possible for two per
sons to be. One gets along the other
does more, he accumulates. Why the
difference? You will say there are
many reasons, and we will agree with
you There are, but it comes to our
mind that the greatest among the
many causes is the desire upon the
part of one man to make a show.
Here is a farmer for instance. He
lives equal distance from a small
town and a much larger one. The
preference when it comes to trading
is usually for the larger place. He
doesn't stop, to think of the smaller
price he is allowed for his produce or
the few cents more he pays for each
of the long list of groceries, dry
goods or wearing apparel. He decides
on going to town and as there are
more people at the larger place that
is where he naturally thinks of going.
Nuw Mr. Man the next time you
have a day to shop why don't you try
the smaller place? You will be al
lowed more for your eggs, more for
your butter, better price for your
poultry. And too your grocery bill
will amount to several cents less, the
dry goods will show a saving and the
articles of wearing apparel at prices
that will make you feel glad. Figure
it out. Seventy cents more credit for
eggs and butter, and a dollar and
thirty cents saved on purchases. Thus
$2.00 earned. How many times do you
go to town in a year? Just figure it
up, then decide where you ought to
eo to trade. Why not try

THE DENISON REVIEW, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1907.
The Fortunate Urffortunate.
Ho could not make a suit of clothes,
\He couldn't drive & nail,
He couldn't paint a picket fence,
He couldn't mend a sail.
He couldn't curry down a horse,
He couldn't bake a bun,
He could not sell a yard of cloth !-0
He was only a millionaire's son.
But still no one seemed sorry
Nor worried over him
Nor said unto the neighbors,
"What will become of Jim?"
•And Jim he didn't bother
v.' Or show the least concern.
*_'-.*He knew he couldn't do these things
And didn't care to learn.
He wore the very choicest suits,
A strong man drove his nails
And painted every fence in sight,
A sailor trimmed his sails,
A coachman kept his horses slick.
His cook the prizes Won,
And so he suffered not, although
He was only a millionaire's son.
And no one seemed to wonder
That he should get along.
The world smiled Its approval:
It seemed to see no wrong
That all the good things going
Should fall Into his lap,
Although it knew he couldn't
And wouldn't do a tap.
Not Hard
to Catch
"I do believe
that It Is impos
sible to stop the
grafting evil."
"Why are you
so pessimistic?"
"Because those
duty it is to do
so seem lnvari
1 ably to catch
the graft instead
of the grafters."
Told Him to Do It
Little four-year-old Bertie sat in
church beside his mother and listened
to the choir rendering their anthem on
which they had been practicing a week,
the burden of which was, repeated
over and over, "Peace be still."
Bertie was usually restless in church,
but this day he sat very still all
through the long, sermon and walked
home beside his mother apparently
wrapped in deep thought.
At the dinner table Bertie's mother
complimented him on his behavior in
church.
"You were so nice and quiet all
through," she said, "that mamma is
proud of you."
"Well, I had to be quiet," said Ber
tie gravely. "The choir just stared
at me and kept singing over and over,
'Please be still.'"

"Is he engaged to the widow?",.
"He says not."

want him, for I saw them talking to

A Testimonial For Veracity.
"It's a moighty folne thing to have a
character for truthfulness," remarked
13*
Grady when he returned home the
other evening.
"Indade an' it is that same," agreed
Mrs. O'Grady, with an approving nod,
as she hauled one child out of the fen
der and scraped the cinders off his
frock. "An' what makes ye say that,
Chelim?"
'Cause me master belaves in me
veracity intoirely," was the response
of rhelim. I-Ie lighted his short pipe
and took his accustomed seat on a
broken chair jiear the chimney. "I
tould him this morning that I couldn't
help being late an' that I had run a
moile in a minute an' a half to get
there in toime. An' what do ye think
he said?"
"Mebbe that ye desarved another
sixpence a week."
"Better than that. These are his
very words. 'O'Grady,' ses he. '01 wud
just as soon belave ye if ye sed ye
had done it in half a minute.' St ye
see what faith he has in me veracity
intoirely."—London Answers.
Reading the Face.
'Restless eyes denote a deceitful, de
signing disposition greenish eyes mean
falsehood, malice and a love of scan
dal blue eyes tell of tendency to co
quetry black eyes mean a lively, spir
ited and sometimes deceitful charac
ter eyes with a yellowish, bloodshot
White usually betoken strong emotions
and hot temper gray eyes mean dig
nity and intelligence and brown eyes a
tender, true, kind and happy nature. A
mouth had better be too large than too
small, for a very small, pursed up
mouth is seldom significant of good
conversational power. Large mouths
are more often found in conjunction
with liberal dispositions than very
small ones. A person with a pointed
thin is fanciful, refined in taste and
difficult to please. A broad, square
chin signifies ardent love, often accom
panied by jealousy. A broad, round
chin means ardent love, with a stead
fastness and purity of affection.
When Did You Oil Your Watch?
When did you oil your watch last?
Never? You may remember when you
lubricated your sewing machine, type
writer, lawn "mower or grindstone—
within a year, probably—but your
watch you never oiled, that you can
remember. Yet in a period of eighteen
months the balance wheel turns on
Its axis 13,99G,SOO,000 times. Expert
watchmakers say that a watch should
be thoroughly cleaned and oiled every
eighteen months. Many persons wear
a watch for years, winding it up each
night, and never oil it. Watches are
instruments of uncertain age: some
run indefinitely, keeping accurate time,
without need of repairs. As a matter
of ..fact, nothing is so neglected as this
small, delicate and useful instrument.

7 Blond Indians.
One of the mysteries of Mexico is
presented by the Maya Indians, who
inhabit the Sierra iUadre mountains in
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair, and
students of ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them.
There is a tradition, however, that
these Indians are the descendants of
the crew and passengers of a Swedish
vessel wrecked on the. Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the new world. But this tradition is
founded on nothing more substantial
than a folklore tale current among
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds of moons
agO.
A Frog of Peculiar Habits.
South America has a frog of peculiar
iiabits. Dwelling in the virgin forests,
at the tops of the highest trees, it
chooses as a site for its nursery some
hollow stump and then proceeds to
line it with resin procured from trees
in the neighborhood. This lining serves
to catch and hold the rainwater, with
which It quickly becomes filled. As
soon as this takes place the eggs are
laid therein, and here they undergo de
velopment into tadpoles. How the re
Bin is collected is a mystery, nor is it
yet known how the separate pieces be
come welded to form the water tight
basin necessary to insure the safety of
the treasures deposited therein.
Something of That Kind.
"Young man," said the serious gen
tleman, "did you ever pause and think
that each tick of the clock brings you
another moment nearer to the end of
your existence
"I was thinking of something of that
kind this very minute," cheerfully re
plied the youth, "only the idea struck
me that each tick brought pay day that
much nearer."
A Puxzler.
An old white haired darky living on
plantation, not feeling well, had the
doctor pay him a visit. The doctor
told him as he was getting old be
must eat plenty of chicken and stay
out of damp night air. "But, sah,'
said the old darky, "how can you ex
pect me to stay in de house at night
and still get my chickens?"
Hi* Rising Day.

"He never did rise in tne world uil
lie stumbled over a lot o' dynamite,"
the village gossip said, "an' even then,
like so many men in the risin' busi
ness, he never did know what he rlz
fer!"—Atlanta Constitution.
Health Recipe.
One time a man asked the poet Long
fellow how to be healthy, and this Is
the answer he received:
Joy, temperance and repose
Slam the door on the doctor's nose.
England and Australia are the only
islands which exceed Cuba In their
aatural resources.

When you become old or unable to work, you'll find no
friend so helpful, none so responsive to your needs as a
Nevertheless, let no one boast. Just
as every man, though he be the great
est genius, has very definite limitations
in some one sphere of knowledge, and
thus attests his common origin with
the essentially perverse and stupid
mass of mankind, so also h»is every
man something in his nature which is
positively evil. Even the best—nay, the
noblest—character will sometimes sur
prise us.by isolated traits of depravity,
as though it were to acknowledge his
kinship with the human race, in which
villainy—nay, cruelty—is to be found in
that degree.—Schopenhauer.
The Whole Show.
When Bubinstein was traveling
through the United States upon a con
cert tour it chanced that Barnum's cir
cus followed exactly the same route
chosen by the great Russian. On one
occasion when the train was filled with
snake charmers, acrobats, clowns and
the like the guard, noticing perhaps
Rubinstein's remarkable appearance,
asked him, "Do you belong to the
show?" Turning his leonine head with
a savake shake, Rubinstein fiercely
growled out,' "Sir, I am the show!"

No women have done more for hu

old maid reformer and the old maid

a writer in the Cosmopolitan, for be

the world to do the work that the rest
of us leave undone.

The high prize of life, the crowning
