In talking with his father Qyrus received good advice, to the ef- fect that while physicians could cure sickness in the army, the better course would be not to permit the army to get sick at all. Here was the voiclng of prevention more than five centurles before Christ. 4 STORE OPEN |, 7{” MONDAY “af.

Seh serpents being out of date, and “wild men” somewhat exhausted of interest, there comes the recent story of a Kentucky man who celebrated the 131st anniversary of his birth by taking his first motor car ride. When a report of this sort is in- vestigated it usually is found to lack proof. Some years ago, at a meeting of the Actuarial Society of America, its president, John K. Gore, said: “The well-known cases of individuals com- monly believed to have lived a century [} ) a THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER s Great Financier Proved He Had Kindly Heart as Well as a Keen Business Mind. There is no better u-st. of & man's bigness than his way of handling sub- ordinates who make mistakeés. J. Pierpont Morgan, the elder, had a clerk who, living beyond his means, sought to make up the balance through speculation ; and, having failed, helped himself to the firm’s money. The culprit was called into Mr. Mor- gan’s private office. He expected arrest. Instead he was told to go home and tell his wife all about it. *“And tomorrow morning,” said Mr. Morgan, “see me again.” and a quarter and even much longer have not in any instance been veri- fled.” There is usually temptation to exag- gerate the age of extremely old per- sons; often they do it themselves. Not very long ago a man in England, inter- ested in the study of human longevity, offered $5,000 to any man or woman living at the time who could prove that he or she was 100 years old or more. There were hundreds of claim- ants, but in no case was irrefragable proof submitted. In point of longevity, women are far ahead of men, generally speaking. They are more resistant to diseases and they live longer. And yet women are called the “weaker sex.” So they are, muscularly, but it is manifest that they are the stronger sex constitution- ally. They possess what biologists term greater “viability™—a superior ability to survive. Kindness in Business. It is a grear privilege to have an opportunity many times a day, in the course of your business, to do a kind- ness which is not to be paid for. Gra- clousness of demeanor is a large part of the duty of any officlal person who comes In contact with the world. Where a man's business is, there is the place for his religion to manifest {tself.—Helps.

KES e s [ The clerk obeyed, and Mr. Morgan, to the young fellow’s amazement, handed him in bills the full amount of his peculation -— $5,400 — with: “Put that back where you took the other from. It is a loan from me, and I ex- pect you to return it as soon as you can. None of the other clerks know anything about it. Let me see if you can’t be a man.” After many months the youngster restored to Mr. Morgan the last dollar of the debt. After counting the pile of bills on his desk, to which he had added those just given him, Mr. Morgan observed: “Well, my boy, it was a bit harder saving it than losing it, I'll warrant. Now take it home and give it to your wife. It's a safe bet that she saved most of it.”—Boston Post. Why Jack Should Be Gay. The way things are looking there 18 no excuse for Jack bheing a dull boy. as long as no work and all pay are conducive to gayety.—New Orleans Times-Picayune. Would Be a Joke. John had been the only child in the family for five years, when one day a little baby sister came.. Several weeks later the parents were talking about the little baby, saying how sweet she was and how glad they were to have a little girl. John, listening, said: *“Oh, mother. wouldn't it be a good joke on you if sister turned out to be a boy?” "‘—_'"l|||||l||||l||IIIIII||||l||||IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|IIIIIIIIlIIIlIIIIIIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|IIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlll||||I|||||lIIIIIIIIIIIII|IlIIIIIIIIIIII||IllIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII|IlIIlIIIIIIIIIflllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILI'-‘ STORE OPEN B ] ‘ MONDAY O by =N/ TUESDAY ‘ lj / @ @ "%< : i and YO AN A o i} WEDNESDAY n 1j't8 | URAN 2T T EVENINGS SOMETHING FOR THE HOME OREGON INDIAN ROBES; 60x78 inches, beautiful colors $12.50 to $15.00 HUDSON BAY BLANKETS, plaid and stripe designs, 72x82 .............................................. $18.00 and $18.50 WOOL ARMY BLANKETS, size 64x80, each............ $11.50 MAISH COMFORTABLES, 72x90, fine silkaline cover, full A strictly sanitary .......... $7.85 to $8.00 batt filling.
