Y. i 1 I I Up to this time, and for all these years, no woman has ever before smoked in Gage Tollner's. Whether it had been forbidden or was just accepted as a custom, "Brad" doesn't say, but since then, smoking by ladies is now being regularly indulged in not only by the younger set, but last Saturday night, two elderly couples of at least seventy years, were seen indulging. So the old order changeth, and ultra-conservative Gage Tollner's is following in the footsteps of its younger contemporaries. poker, bridge, dominos nor golf, and is still living.

We don't know why. He moved from the state of to the state of and from that state to this state.

Fast man can do it in 10 flat college professor who looked like Mr. McCooey. Among the most trenchant and sapient" of Dr. Butler's remarks was the statement referring to the oil scandal, that: "We must not let ourselves be deceived. We must not join a lynching party nor, on the other hand, must we organize to protect anyone who has done wrong.

"There is a quiet but courageous New Englander in the White House who proposes to pursue this thing to the end. What Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt did to maintain honesty in the public service during their administration, Calvin Coolidge will do in his." Referring to the tax situation, he affirmed truly enough that the Mellon tax reduction plan represented the best guarantee against a continuance of excessive rents, the high cost of living and disturbed business conditions. Approval of the plan by the Democrats would have meant "statesmanship and good politics." The Garner bill if enacted into law would "revolutionize the social and economic system of the American people." Ambrose says that the great fault in modern life is disdirected effort For example, if all energy that is wasted every day in the growing of whiskers on your chin could be directed toward covering that bald spot on the top of your head, it would save the time now devoted to shaving every morning. Patronizes the Fine Arts She had a vast amount of money, but it had come to her quite recently. One day recently she was asked by a committee of friends to become a member of the Fine Arts Association.

They inquired if she was fond of art. "Fond of art!" she exclaimed. "Well, I should say I was! If I am ever in a city where there's an artery I never fail to visit it." Soliloquies of a Silent Member "The more thoroughly you do nothing when there is nothing to do, the better you can do something when there is something to do." When a man, whatever his age might be, enters on a business career, his first thought is to, make a profit. He wants to buy something at a price and sell it at some other" price, leaving him a margin, which he calls "profit." The extent of this margin is the popular measure of his success in business. There may be so many temptations of the sordid kind and they abound in every department of business activity which would lead him to be what some people call a rogue, and he may fall.

And yet, unconsciously, or subconsciously, he is always endeavoring to do the right thing, and he believes religiously that by doing right he can make a living and stand before his fellowmen, not as a superhuman example, but as one who is not ashamed of his part in the world's activities. He strives for and wants to be a good man in all his actions and transactions he tries to 'be good, and the greatest insult you could level at him would be to suggest that he was otherwise that he was bad. It is not sufficient to be good; you must be "good for something." Any man can sit at his ease and complacently satisfy himself with the thought that he has done nothing wrong, and therefore he must be right. Its application to business is not far to seek. If those who are satisfied that their business practices are as near faultless as human frailties allow can so inculcate the same doctrine to those they happen to meet, and with whom they have commercial connection, they would accomplish something "Something attempted, something done."
