LET YOUR CHILDREN KNOW THE
TRUE VALUE OF MONEY.
This isan exiravaganiage a fact
never more plainly illustrated
than by ihe reckless expenditure
of our young fulks. The average
boy or girl of today completely fails
to understand the value of money,
and spends reeklesslv whatever
portion chances to come into
their hands, and as the boy is,
so ihe man must be. No
doubi in many persons there are
what might be called hereditary
ideas about money; some are born
frugal, oihers extravagant; and be
ihe circumstances of life what they
may, the original bias will assert
itself from the nursery to ihe
grave.
But a great deal may be done by
carefully educating children in ihe
true value of money as a means to
an end. There are various ways
of doing ii, and some of ihem will
ai first be disappointing. Different
characiers must be differently
treaied and an age, which might be
suitable for one young person
be unsuitable for anoiher. You
begin to give your boy an allow
ance, with much good advice on
the right to spend it; and you are
mortified, when he returns from
his first vacation, to find that you
have to pay the money twice over;
for his allowance is all spent he
really does not know how and
the bills, which it ought to have
paid, are sent home to you.
When you give him the calling
down that is his just due, be sure
to not let mm think you feel him
capable of having wilfully deceived
you; cheerfully trust him again,
and if he is the right sort of hoy
ihe chances are ii is the last time
it will happen, if it is good for
boys to be trained to the use of
money, it is quiie as important for
girls. Not only is it an additional
interest in their life, but it prepares
them for ihe time when they will
have lo keep house tor a husband
or brother.

HOW FALL BEGINS.
This is the way the fall beeins
A bugle of beauty upon the hill,
A tingle all over yourself of pins,
A touch of magic thrill,
A strange, dear light when ihe moon is low,
A mist thai floats like an elfin veil,
And over the forest a banner of glow,
Like a fairy ship with a purple sail.
The sound of an ax in the old oak lot,
A hurrying in of the logs to dry;
The conch shell on the old whatnot
Breathing a mournful sigh.
The squirrel in ihe hickory by the door
Swift as an arrow from limb lo limb;
The river a ripple of rainbow floor
Where the ancient dolphins swim.
The winesaps gleaming like globes of red
In the orchard, smelling like wine
When the first sweet toast to the world was said
And a new love was thine.
The pippins just mellow, the Bartleit pears
Blushing like school girls, and down the lane
The chicken grapes and the rabbit lairs,
And the katydids' refrain.
Chinquapins with open burs,
And persimmons ready to drop;
A partridge suddenly drums as he whirrs,
And you listen and want to stop.
Delicious in your nose and mouih
Of ripeness and honey and mellowing things,
And the unseen bird hosts journeying south,
And a joy in the heart that sings.

MEAN MAN HE ONCE KNEW IN
THE CHAMPIONSHIP STAKES.
John D. Rockefeller once suid
to a New York reporter :
"The poorest way 10 wealth is
the mean way. In Kichford, where
I was born, we had a mean man,
a very mean man; yet the fortune
he left was a sniull you niiuhi say
a mean one.
"Al a church supper one uigM
this man cut the cm ner of his lip
with his knife. All searched their
pocketbooks, but nobody had any
court-plaster. What was 10 be
done? The cut was bleeding.
"Finally the parson proJuced a
iwo-ceni stamp and said :
" 'Put this on the cut, squire. It
will siup the hemorrhage, I be
lieve.' " 'Thank you,' said the squire
gratefully, and taking out his wal
let, he placed the two ceiu stamp
in it, extracting ai ihe same nine
a one cent stamp of his own. which
he proceeded to stick on the cut.
" 'Thank you parson,' he re
pealed. 'A penny saved is a penny
earned.' "
Fair Parisienne-"Master Willie,
your lather informs me thai you
had a leeile sister this morning."
Nice Boy-"Does mamma know
it?"
