"A FOOL and hit money are toon parted.” Very true. Father* and
** mothera, yon want your children to become MANLY MEN and
WOMANLY WOMEN, not SQUANDEREB8 of time and health
and money. Young joy riders on life’s journey never come to any good.
Urge your children to be FBUGAL Start them with a SMALL SAV-
INGS BANE ACCOUNT. See that they keep it going. Get them a good
example YOURSELF in YOUB OWN ACCOUNT._

This is an off season for killing
space. The “Shop Early” and
“Pay Your Poll Tax” goods are
out of dale,and it is a little early
to open up the spring and sum
mer styles in intellectual mer-
chandise—such as “Swat the
Ply” and earnest appeals for a
“Safe and Sane Fourth.”
If the European war ever ends
it will be necessary to take the
ocean out and strain it to get rid
of the mines. Otherwise the in-
nocent American going to the
East might see a hole blown in
the ship as large as the one
blown in his pocketbook.
The Beaumont Journal says
that nineteen women have been
tried in Chicago during the last
year for killing their husbands
and all that were acquitted. Of
course. Who in the world would
have the heart to convict a poor
widow?
There is one advantage about
receiving a visit from poor kin-
folks: You don’t have to make
the preparations that are neces
sary when the rich relatives
visit you.
You see a reformer that doesn’t
want an office almost as often as
you see'a . woman who doesn’t
want an auto.
When a rich man asks for a
match every fellow in the crowd
tries to be the first to oblige
him.
An old maid never loses hope
until she becomes too stout or ac-
cumulates a surplus of thinness.

' Forty Years Afo
To The Times:
Sitting in my room by a good
fire and seeing the snowflakes
fall, I am reminded of a great
snow fall forty years ago today.
In March 1875, my father,
Stephen Grant, lived where J. I.
Lawler now resides, and suffer-
ed the loss by fire of his black-
smith shop. On Friday, March,
6th, he and I started to MulUns’
Saw Mill for lumber with which
to rebuild it. The day and was
clear and bright and we reached
the mill and loaded our lumber a
while before night. Mr. Mul-
lins invited us to stay all night
and go turkey hunting the next
morning.
We declined the hunt and
drove out about a mile from
the mill and camped on a branch
near the bayou. Some time dur-
ing the night I awoke and saw
& few clouds passing between us
and the moon, which was shin-
ing overhead. I went back to
sleep and the first thing I knew
j rain was falling in my face.
We arose, ate our breakfast,
bitched up and were ready to
start as soon as we could see.
By this^ime it was raining
pretty hard. We traveled a mile
or two and it began to snow,
great flakes falling which soon
covered the ground. We reach-
ed the prairie sometime after
noon, where we parted. My
father turned west near the
Dock Fulbright place, and I
came around the Judge Ful-
bright place, where the Abbotts
now live.
Soon after we parted the wind
changed to the northwest and
became freezing when. I got
upon the prairie near the "Lone
Cottonwood.” Here I unloaded
my lumber. There was no
road—only a little row of grass
that remained in the center of a
trail that prairie fires failed to
burn because of the beaten path
made by the wagon wheels.
I wore a blue Federal overcoat
and had to turn the cape over
my head to keep the ice out of
my face. The snow and ice was
so thick that I could not see 100
yards away. After I had left
my load and traveled a while, a
young mare I was working be-
gan to lag back like she would
soon give out, and about the time
I began to think I would have to
leave the wagon, I came iu sight
of my fence.
Wjien 1 reached the house my
outside clothes were frozen stiff.
Brother Sam, then a small boy,
had stayed at my house that
night and had put on the last
stick of wood that was cut. He
was preparing to go home, and
I promptly vetoed the decision.
My father got as far as the
Bartlett place and had to stay
all night. The next morn-
ing the sun rose clear and
bright and the snow measured
twelve inches in my yard. It
had drifted into the gullies until
everything was filled with it.
Cattle roaming around ou the
prairies would fall into the rav-
ines and hollows and perish by
the dozens. That was the best
i&heat crop year I have ever
seen.' - G. W. Grant.

1 year, died here last week.
Bradford, Pa.—Dr. Tanner, of

ter only $125 a year, is the ob-
ject of a 25,000 mile journey
which Postoffice Inspector E. P.

An eastern man was so fright-
ened when arrested that he swal-
lowed his tobacco. Because of
this the judge did not make him
pay a flue. So you see if he had
not been a chewer he woo'd have
been forced to give up money
that his wife needed. Almost ev-
ery day thqre is new evidence
that this fine art should be
taught in the schools.
