V Tbe opinion was generally held
that he wa possessed of a con

Nothing, except the house at;
incpton and a place at Buz

' AVhen Mr. Cleveland left the
white House after the second
irni; it is said, he and his wife
had an income between them of
$1,000 a year. When he Haw his
children growing up and realized
jbat he was getting to be an old
Tan, his income often worried
him, because of the future of the
young wife and children. He would
Accept nothing from friends they
say, though they were willing
to aid him in any way. He was
extremely proud on this scope,
but he could not conceal the fact
that h6 was not at ease.' "
It is said now he did not live
In New York for the Hole reason
f hat it was cheaper to live in
'rinceton, and in Princeton he
could maintin the style he felt
would be demaned of him.
His income was added to by
45,000 a year when he became

when be was made he ) d of the
Association of Life Insurance

Mr. Cleveland had some mon

Jwhich came out at the time the
company closed its doors. An in

to ask for eroployenient do you:
think that ho will not notice your
hands? If he looks at the tips of
your first and second fingers will
he see two yellow spots that de
notes the owner is addicted to
the cigarette habit? Of
course :
he will.
When you fa'e the man who
employs the help needed in a big
plant, he is apt to look you
straight in the eve and ask, '"do
you smoke cigarettes?" That
has become one of the leading
questions when a roan seeks em
ployment. '
Why has this come to pass?
The reason it is asked is because
employers do not desire to have
that kind of a man around, as
experience with them in the past
has been a sad one. Should you
hesitate in answering one glance
will give-him the required answer
it may bar you from a good
opening. -
This cigarette badge, once
worn, is hard to efface. When
his mother looks at it, he wishes
that his fingers were free from
the stain, and sometimes the
pang of regret comes when the
employer discovers it. He can
see an instant change in the man
who hires, then he hears the ver
dict: "No, w do not need you young
man!" -
Now, young man, don't you
think that you would feel more
self-respect if you got rid of the
cigarette badge? You can, if you
are ambitious to succeed in the
world, It may take lots ofwill
power, but if you Bet to work in
earnest and give up the cigarettes
and tell-tale stain will wear away.
You can take it off just as you
put it on. Why not begin the
first in earnest without delay
and get rid of the cigarette
badge?
She If we appear together too
much people will talk about us.
He Well suppose' we disappear
together,

If we could harness our "wish
ers" with our "doers" we would
have a team that could pull us
through.

A Ghost Story

gnsti magazine: .
Wyeollar Hall, imar Come,
was long the Beat of the (Juniffes, j
of Billington. They were 'noted :
persons in their time, but evil
! days came, and their ancestral
estates passed out 01 tneir nanas,
In the days of the common wealth
their loyalty cost them dear and
ultimately retired to Wyeollar
with a remnant only of their once
extensive property.
About 1819 the last of the fam
passed away, and now the hall is
a mass of ruins. Little but the
antique fireplace remains entire,
and even the room alluded to in
the following legend cannot now
be identified. Tradition says that
once every year a spectar horse
man visits Wyeollar Hall He is
attired in the contume of the ear
ly Stuart period, and the trap
pings of bis horse are of a most
uncouth description.
"On the evening of his visit the
weather is always wild and tem
pestuous. There is no moon to
light the lonely roads, and the
residents of the district do not
venture out of their cottages.
When the wind howls loudest the
horseman can be heard dashing
up the road at full speed, and,
after crossing the narrow bridge,
he suddenly stops at the door ol
the hall. The rider then dismounts
and makes his way up the broad,
oaken stairs into one of the
rooms of the House. Dreadful
screams, as from a woman, are
then heard which subsides into
groans. Tne Horseman t n e n
makes his appearance at the door
at once mounts his steed and gal
lopes off.
'Ilia body can be seen through
by those who may chance to be
present; his horse appears to be
wild and his nostrils stream with
fire The tradition is that one of
the Cunliffes murdered his wile
fn that room and that the spec
ter horseman is the ghost of the
murderer who is doomed to pay
an annual visit to the home of
his victim. She is said to have
predicted the extinction of the
family which, according to the
story, has literally been fulfilled.'
