{ Where Money Buys Life. The rich Chinaman if condemned to qdeath easily procures a substitute. Some poor wretch, without money to secure his spirits from becoming wan- dering devils, with the price of his mis- erable life can purchase proper care for his spirit. Anything, in fact, can be done it you have the money. It is this belief that causes the Chinaman to commit suicide by 1g his life on the premises of his enemy to take venge- ance on him. Iis spirit, he believes, will forever haunt him. There is an- other reason also. He knows that as sure as fate the officials will under such circumstances come down upon his enemy and strip him of everything. Poor Chinese have been known to sell everything they possessed, tear down their houses to sell the timber, sell or rent out their wives and children and even secll themselves to procure money for the proper rites for the peace and comfort of the ancestral spirits. One i alone a Chinese will not do— acrifice his son.—Kenneth F. , in National Geographic His Testimonial. Lieutenant (‘olonel Sir Henry Smith, formerly commissioner of the city of Loundon police, tells an amusing story M his book of reminiscences. Earl Grey once complimented Sir Henry Smith on some of his testimo- nials. “I say, my dear fellow,” he remark- ed on coming to a most elaborate one, “this is the best testimonial I ever read in my life.” “I am very pleased, indeed, to hear your opinion of it,” Sir Henry replied, “for 1 wrote it myself.” “What's that you're saying? What do you mean?” asked Earl Grey in as- tonishment. “This is what I mean,” Sir Henry answered. “If a man has not intel- lect enough to write a testimonial in his own favor and energy enough to srand over & friend 1 he signs it he's not fit for the position I aspire to.” A Pretty Busy Man. When a man's business prohibits his caring for the chickens, when his af- fairs become so important that he can mo longer shake down the furnace, Belp dress one of the children or tinker about the place with a hammer and saw, then that man's business had better be put into the hands of a re- ceiver temporarily; his books do mnot balanc: vs Dallas Lore Sharp in the Atlantic. I know of a college presi- dent who used to bind (he may still) a cold compress about his head at times and, ing prone upon the floor, have two readers, one for each ear, read simultancously to him different theses, so great was the work he had to do, so fierce his fight for time—time % lecture to women's clubs and te write his epoch making books. Oh, the multitude of epoch making books! Hugo’s Practical Side. It may not be generally known that Victor Hugo used to draft the adver- tisements of his own books, instead of leaving the task to his publishers.

Come in and Seethe MONARCH Whether You Intend to Buy Now or Later-- The selection of a range is so important that it’s worth your while to in- vestigate thoroughly. Let us show you the - famous Duplex Draft that gives such an even fire that only half the usual amount of coal is necessary. See the highly polished Malleable Iron Top which requires no stove-blacking to keep clean Learn why you cancook on top of the range without removing the lids. Note the unusual oven construction ard the triple walls of asbestos and steel at every point exposed to heat and flame. THE BARGAIN STORE 1st Door ‘North of Post Office. “A Present the Whole Family Shares in”’ A gift of utility! And one that will be appreciated not only this Christmas, but for many Christmases to come --a MONARCH will soive the gift problem for you. It is arange to be proud of! You can start the keep clean that its use is a ' Made of Malleable Iron and Pol- ished Steel--Everp Seam Riveted “Air=Tight”’=- Owing to this unusual construction, the MON- ARCH never opens up in the seams to cause air-leaks. No bolts work loose. No stove- ) putty to fall out. The hardest kind of usage and wear never effects a MONARCH. As no outside air can enter the tight seams, all the fuel burned is regulated by the drafte, as it should be, and this saves from 25 to 50 per cent of the fuel ordinarily wasted in poorly constructed ranges. Fig- ure up the saving in a year for yourself. In a few month’s time the MONARCH will pay many times the difference between its first cost and that of the ordinary, leaky, cast iron stove. We can show you why in ten minutes’ time. M.
