The sweet little daughter of Mr.

Mrs. W. R. Mills *ho has spent

Billy, her husband, will not dare
to call her “the old woman” any
longer as she looks twenty years
younger, and is in fine health and

and all of that time in Denison.

We have the word of s New York
magistrate that his salary of »7.000 a

him to pay the expected tips at the
New Tork restaurants The magis-
trate In question was called upon to
settle the matrimonial dispates at a
waiter and his wife. Incidentally he
asked what pay the waiter received
and he was told 929 s month. “And
how much In tips’" inquired the magis-
trate The waiter hesitated and final-
ly confessed to |li or $29 a month.
"Tou can't eipect me to believe that ”
said the court, “for 1 dine at Sherry's

Early Mall teutss.
The first record contained in our
colonial history of any kind of mall
service dates from 1878. when tbe
court in Boston appointed Mr. John
Hayward to "take In and convey let-
ters according to their direction." In
December, 1716, arrangements were
made to receive letters In Boston from
Williamsburg. Va„ during four weeks
of the summer time and eight weeks
In winter. In 1728 Henry Pratt was
appointed “rldtag postmaster" for all
the routes between Philadelphia and
Newport. Vs., to set out In the begin-
ning of each month and return I 24
days. Postage stamps were first In-
troduced into the United States la

Dirt and Purity.
The love of dirt is among the earliest
of passions, ss It Is the latest. Mod
pies gratify one of our first snd best
Instincts. 9o long as we are dirty,
we are pure. Fondness for the ground
comes back to a man after he has ran
the round of pleasure and business,
eaten dirt and sown wild oats, drifted
shout the world, snd taken the wind
of all Its moods. The love of digging
In the ground (or of looking on while
be pays another to dig) la as sure to
come back to him as he Is sure, at
last, to go under the ground and stay
there. To own a bit of ground, to
scratch It with a boe. to plant seeds,
and watch their renewal of life—this
Is the commonest delight of tbe recs.
tbe most satisfactory thing a man can
do.—Charles Dudley Warner.
Ice as Fuel.
A cake of Ice at 22 degrees Fahren-
heit is ordinarily considered to be
rather a cold substance, but It Is aa
much hotter than liquid air as tbe
oTee In which bread Is baked la hot-
ter than the lea
A tea kettle partly filled wtth liquid
air and placed on a cake of Ice re
reives ao much beat from the lea that
the liquid air soon bolls vigorously,
and tbe boiling can be made more vio-
lent by a^lng a few lumps of Ira

earth were at the freezing point of air

On Reaping One’s Temper.
If you wish not to be of an angry
temper, do not feed the habit; throw
nothing on it which will increase It;
at first keep quiet and count the days
on which you have not been angry. I
used to be in a passion every day;
now every second day; then every
third; then every fourth. But If yon
have intermitted 30 days, make a sac-
rifice to God. For the habit at first
begins to be weakened, and then I*
completely dent roved when you can
say. "I have not been vexed today, nor
the day before, nor yet on any suc-
ceeding day during two or three
months; but I took care when some ex-
citing things happened."—Epictetus.

what you do—what you do now.
To-day is the time to decide to

Save the first dollar, and that dol-
iar will help you save the next
one.
Keep it going, and then the bye-

you more than imaginary riches.

There appears to be uo definite rec-
ord explaining the prevailing custom
of turning our vehicles to the right
In this country- One authority says
that it grew out of the fact that in our
early colonial days, before the arrival
of rigs for pleasure driving, the
drivers of heavy vehicles need In
transportation fell into the way of
turning to the right
The English custom of turning to
the left is an ancient one. It obtains
in practically all of tbe British prov-
inces. A grizzled driver In Bermuda,
asked once why all drivers turned to
the left explained that tt was done so
they could see Just bow much room
they had.
