Hut when we have money wu are nil upt to wIhIi It Juat a little more. Who is to but what la the exact ninount It Is rip li t that weahould possess? Wishes, tuates, desires, dif fer. We ourselves do not know what our limit should be. With too iiiui'h money ono la likely to become conceited, to lose sympathy and be hard hearted and more than likely regardless of the menus ho takes to add to his store. If he baa too little be may lie envious of others, embitter ed toward society, tempted to dlslum esty, or there may lie real suffering for need of what money can buy. No one, not even the man hi a prison cell, fun live In any degree of comfort with out money It If necessary to life. Yet there are niauy things of greater value than money, thing! that money cannot buy. that are necessary to our welfare. Indue love of money la a jiolson in the soul, eutliig out what la of most worth We may pay too high a price for its acquisition We should Judge our desire for money by our jiurposc, our motive In wantiiiK it. Money Is a power for good or evil, as we choose to use It Milwaukee Jour nal. ! THINK BIG THINGS. Give Your Imagination Play and Try to Live Up to Your Oraama. lan't It true that the only thing which makes It possible for us to perform the dully drudgeries of life Is the hope -for better things which blooms la our hearts? Hope Is romance. Ambition In ro mance. All the fine, true Inspirations of life are romantic. Romance leads to achievement, unless It blossoms in the mind of a las.v. shiftless creature who is Incapable of action. The man who leads a forlorn Impe Is romantic. The hero who gives his life fighting dread disease to which he succumbs, but against which he has insured humanity. Is romantic. Ro mance la the thing which makes It worth while for men to sacrifice ma terial comforts and die on strange fields of honor. In a materialistic world, where we have to deal with the facts of earning our living and fighting for place and position, the thing which lifts us above blind Instinct la romance. Cherish your dreams, for they give you a glimpse of beauty and make you will ing to struggle over cruel 'mountains and harsh plains to the pot of gold at the rainbow's end. Dreams give res tjlte from dreary reality and urge on to all that la big and fine.-Kxchange. When Lafayette Was In Jail.

It la a duty to protect the health of the home and to tight any peril that may menace It. You may have doubts or become discouraged when It comes to cleaning np and keeping so clean that you won't have flies, or when you try to keep them down by poisoning or trapping, but there's one means of protecting yourself against files that Is safe and effective. This Is thorough screening. Doors, windows sml porch es, upstairs and downstairs, should lie thoroughly screened In summer for the comfort of the home and the health of the family. Mosquitoes are a health menace us well as files, mid thorough screening protects ugulusl both. A few years ago screening was con slilered almost as InelTecilve as a means of protecting agulusl tiles as poisoning, disinfecting and a few fee Me efforts at ('leaning up. None of these methods prohibited Hies. They apparently continued la come In their usual large number. Lot the trouble was we did not know how to propel li use screens. Then only the klt hen and dining room doors and window were si rccned, while the doors and windows of the oilier part of the house were left unprotected I-atei we found that not only all the openings to the bouse must huve screens In them, but thai they must fit and lie made so fly light dial no fly could enter. This was found more ef feci Ue, But not until the porchea were screened, particularly the bnck porch, where most of the food was handled. did we coma to know the real safety and comfort that lay behind screened doors, windows and porches.

TESTING THE DENTIST. lamall Paaha Didn't Want te Take Any Painful Chancee. Te Illustrate oriental habits of thought Lord Cromer tells In the Quar terly Review this story of Ismail Pasha. khedlvn of f'gypt. It once happened , that Ismail was suffering from tooth ache. He Kent for a European dentist, ; who told him that he ought to have the ' tooth eut. Ismsll said that be was He afraid It would be very painful was Informed In reply that If he would allow the dentist to administer Isugh , tug gas to him he would feel nothing. ; He still doubted, but told the dentist to bring bis apparatus to the palace. The dentist compiled and explained the process to tbe kbedlve. Ismail then summoned an attendant and told him to send up tbe sentry who was at his deor. When the man arrived tbe kbedlve ordered him to sit down in a chair and requested tbe dentist to take out a tooth on cither sldo of his Jaw. Ismail (hen asked tho man whether he had felt anything, and the man told hlui that be had not. Rut Ismail was not yet satisfied. He said Hint the sentry was a young, strong man and that he i Would like to see Ihe experiment tried on some one of weaker physique. Accordingly he summoned u slave girl and had the dentist cMrnct two of her teeth. Finding that she did not show evidence of extreme suffering, he then consented to have his owu tooth ouL About the Puritan.
