MoMahon is reputed to lie very wealthy. McMahon is under Indictment, nnd his trial was set for this week. Swindled, But Recovers. WILKESBAKRK, Pa., Dec. 1C Fritz llojznaglo, a wealthy ealoon- kocpor hore, who alleged that ho was swindled !n Jirldgoport, Conn,, of $IG,000 through a fnlto prizefight by V. J. Koniian, of Chtcugo, and oth ors, today won his suit for $18,130, principal and Interest. JCo,ouan Is under $30,000 ball on a criminal charge.

TyrONli2Y is a ooniiuoilil.v that will buy overytliinjf, savo J-VX hoallh and happitioVs; anil it is a univoi'sal trans port to evorvwhoi'o, savo hoavon." ISo runs a popular qiu(atiou. But money won't buy any of the things worth having. It won't buy lovo ami it won't buy friendship; it won't purchase virtue or niaico a man honest, industrious, tcmiperato or just. It won't buy the individual, genius, talent or ability. It comes near Do ing a universal transport to demoralization. JKichos spell powPr, bill do not confer the ability to properly use this power. Many an acquisitive miser in his Dnlaco is noorev in all that is worth while than his spend thrift neighbor in a hovel and really of less moment in the life oil tho world, for "the crown of the wise is their riches, but the foolishness of fools is folly." For a man to become very wealthy he must of necessity seize what belongs to others, hence great wealth is fre quently a synonym for selfishness, avarice and greed, so "Let not the rich man glory in his riches." Par fewer people can stand prosperity than adversity, for adversity strengthens, and prosperity demoralizes. Riches all too often 'corrupt, weaken and effeminate. As Solomon said, "He that hasteth to be rich hath tin evil teye." Sir Francis'Baeon, who believed m wealth as long as it was got justly, used soberly, distributed cheerfully, and left behind contentedly, says in his essay on "Riches": "T cannot call Riches better, than the Baggage of Ver tue, The Roman Word is better. Impedimenta, h'or as Baggage is to the Army, so is Riches to Vertue. It can not be spared, nor left behinde, but it hindredth the march; yea, and the care of it, sometimes, loseth or disturbeth the victoiy. "Of great Riches, there is no roall use, except it be in the distribution; the rest is but conceit. So saith Soleman: Where much is, there are inairy to consume it ; and what hath the owner, but the sight of it, with his eyes? "The personal fruition in any man cjfnnot reache to feel Great Riches: There is a custody of them, or si power of dole and donative of them, or avfame of them; but no solid use to the owner. "As Solomon saith: Riches are as a strong hold, in the imagination, and not alwaies in fact. For certainly Great Riches have sold more men, then thfcv have bought out." . And they sold Bacon himself, for in the acquisition of wealth he prostituted his own brilliant talents, became a sycophant, time server and traitor to such a degree that Pope pronounced him "the wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind." And so avc have the world's wisest and richest admit ting that "the rich man is wise in his own conceit, but the poor that hath understanding searcheth him out, and echo ing for futurity Agur's prayer: "Remove me from vanity and lies; give me neither poverty .nor riches; feed me wHh.fobd'c5nveniontfor me. '" I "LEND A HAND." barge order T.FIE-:AIL TRIBUNE is in receipt of a copy of "Lend a Hand," an attractive little publication issued by he state prisoners at Salem. It is full oft matter interest ing to t?ie prisoners, and appeals to the world' for a square deal for the under dog. In the December issue Governor, Va,t outlines his prison policv, while the editors pay their. respects .ic the Portland Oregouian as "the morning Ivill- and charge it to my account," "Not on your life," Iho denier replied. "No i accounts. , Vim can't do business wilh the. mail house thai; way. h'ork over tho uash." The customer complied. "Now U cents for postage and5 conls for a money order." Whatt-" "Certainly, you have (o send a letter and, a money order to a mail order house, you know," The customer, inwardly rjivjng, kept to his agreement and paid tho ntckel. "Now Uo cenls expressage." "Well; I'll In ," he said, but paid Heaving. "Now hand me that saw and I'll take it home myself anil be rid of this foolery." "Hand it to you' Where do you think you are? Von 're in Oklahoma and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have to wait two weeks for that saw." Whereupon the dealer hung the saw on a peg and put the money in his cash drawer. "That makes $1.07," he said. "It has cost you 2 cents more and taken you two weeks longer to get it 'than if you had paid my price in tho first place." Auctions On Market Days llurttuln lay.

A' rrBNTIOtf is called to the article published else- ivhere in this issue describing the .Joliot, Jllmois, public market, which has furnished a satisfactory solution of the problem of hrintrimr the producer and consumer to gether with mutual profit, and brought about a material reduction in the cost of living. In this connection the communication-written by W. V. Toner is interesting. Mr. Toner, who is an auctioneer, suggests that an miction bo held each Saturday in con nection with a Saturday bargain day, wherein farmers and stockmen can, dispose of livestock. Such a feature can be added to the public market with profit. With a public market, a Saturday bargain day and livestock auction pulled off weekly, in addition to public! lectures and entertainments, an effective way will have been found to attract the farmers to Mcdford with mutual profit to producer, consumer and merchant. This is the way to build up Medford. To accomplish it, cooperation effort is needed all along the line. A MAIL ORDER DEAL. EkX ftl3$The L7mp That TLTE following from "Square Dealer" forcibly illus trates the usual bargain secured by purchasing from a mail order heuse: Down in Oklahoma the other day n man went into a store to buy a saw. lie saw tho kind he wanted and asked the price. It was $1.05, the dealer said. "Good gracious," said tho man. "I can get" tho same thing from Sears, Koebuck & Co. for $1.35." "That's less than it cost mo," said the dottier, "but I'll sell it on the same terms as tho mail order house just the same." "All right," said the customer. "You can send it along '.
