"Jabez" said that wise old fellow
Jabez's father to his talkative Bon
"you talk too much; your clatter is go
lug on all the time.
"There's an old saying: 'Young
folks thould be Been but not heard.'
You've pa.-i.-ed the young folks stage
you are now a man out in the world
on your own account and hec there
is really occasion for you '. ray any
thing you want to say it and be not
afraid and there may even be times
when you want to blow your own born
and blow it good and strong; but you
' want to know when those times are
and never never talk just to bear
yourself talk.
'It's astonishing how much Ig-
norance a man can reveal by aimless
conversation and even more aston-
ishing bow much credit a man can
' get for knowing things simply by keep-
ing bis mouth shut. Many a good
many a big reputation has been built
. on so slender a foundation as reti-
cence. And when you come to think
of it reticence makes not so slender
a foundation after all for It betokens
at least stlf-control and is not self-
control self command the foundation
of all success? It surely Is.
"Jabez my boy you have much to
learn. Even you in your sane mo-
ments w ill admit that. Don't tell peo-
ple how little you know by overtak-
ing. Talk when you have to and
don't be shy; never be afraid; but
even in this talking condense and be
always clear and explicit.
" "Iion't say unnecessary and Irrele-
vant things; they distract the mind of
your hearer and weaken the argu-
ment. I say again Jabez talk when
the time comes and never be afraid;
but as to talk in general don't.
"Cultirate rather a habit of reti
cence bo you will net a renutatlon
for knowing something and that even-
more valuable reputation that of a
man who Is not a gabbler. Cultivate
a habit of reticence Jabez; and when
In doubt keen your mouth shut. You
will live to thank the old man for
this advice."

A Deal in Tenements.
An old mechanic in a New Kngland
manufacturing town owns 20 bouses
which have paid for themselves. "I've
worked 20 years at tool-making" he
said "and never got over three dol-
lars a day and very seldom less. I
never had a chance to become a fore
man or superintendent; I guess they
thought I was worth more at the
bench. My chance came another way.
One day I overheard Walters the
bookkeeper say that if a man paying
$30 a month rent could buy a house
for 13000 it would pay for itself in a
trifle over ten years. I wasn't paying
$30 a month rent but his remark sunk
in and that evening I saw an ad. in
the paper about a two-tenement house
for Sale at $3000 rents $20 and $18.
So I got Walters to help me figure it
out and I offered to take the place
if the owner would take my savings
$100 as a Hi at payment. He agreed
s he wanted to go west and that $400
w as every cent I ever paid on that
iiouse the rents paid the balance.
"Two years afterward I'd got $300
ahead again and then looked for an-
other bargain. That's the way I have
kept on. I've got the titles to 20
now and excepting $200 or $300 to
tart each one they've paid for them
selves. " Saturday Evening post.
Mrs. Margaret Catty one of Brat-
tleboro'g wittiest society women
planned and enacted a joke; now she
is the defendant la. an action at law
while the society of that Vyrmont city
is awaiting with glee the i tcome of
the affair says the Boston Pc
It all emanated from a "brigii. "a"
conceived by Mrs. Gaty and a few cf
her society friends who had become
firmly convinced that James IL Hook
er attorney and wealthy clubman was
working altogether too hard and need-
ed a little diversion to distract him
from the arduousness of so busy a
summer.
One day recently while the young
attorney eat at bis desk with papers
piled high on each side and an amount
of work beside him that promised to
keep him In bla office Into the wee
small hourg of the night the telephone
at his elbow rang.
Taking cp the receiver Mr. Hooker
listened to the apparently distracted
voice cf Mrs. Gatty one of hi ac-
quaintances. Mrs. tiatty appeared to
be greatly overwrought and explained
that a dreadful attempt had just been
made to swindle her out of a sum of
money that the alleged swindler had
left a handbag behind and would Mr.
Hooker come up Immediately and open
the bag and discover. If possible the
identity of the guilty person.
The young lawyer hastily clapped
on his hat and hastened up to Mrs.
Gatty'g fashionable residence.
fla was ushered into the drawing
room and the bag w as shown him.
Without further parley the lawyer
opened the bag and extracted a nice
yellow lemon. Then the light broke
upon the attorney and amid the tit
terings which emanated f"m different
recesses of the drawing room he
bowed and withdrew after declaring
gracefully that he felt that the case
was settled and trusted that his client
would be no longer disturbed.
A little later Mrs. Gatty received a
bill for services made out in the usual
form. Under the conviction that this
bill was merely the humorous revenge
by Mr. Hooker for the joke played
upon him the bill was pigeonholed.
Much to her consternation a sheriff
appeared recently at Mrs. Catty's
home and served the papers in a suit
for fees due to Mr. Hooker for serv-
ices. The whole city is interested in Law.
yer Hooker's plan for revenge and fac-
tions have already been formed.

Justice Brewer of the United States
supreme court is credited with this by
1116 Milwaukee Sentinel: A millwright
was converted to the ways of thinking
or a sect which periodically was in
spired with a foreknowledge of the
Imminence of the day of doom and
set the date preparing for Gabriel's
greeting. The date was set and the
day came. The millwright donned his
white robe and went out into the fields
to await the coming meeting with the
celestial throng. The day passed tin
til It was late in the afternoon and
the millwright having arisen at the
stroke of midnight on the morn of
the eventful day grew drowsy and
throwing himself down upon 'a pile of
hay fell asleep at his watch. Boys
discovered him and with the natural
mlschievousness of boys set fire to
the hay. The smoke and .Hie heat
uoon woke the slumbering millwright
and sitting up with a start he cried
with the anguish of the lost: "Just 33
I expected! In h after all!"
The
Early Morning.
There is no hour of the day so
hushed and beautiful aj the early
morning when the day is young fresh
frujin the hand of God. It is a new-
page clean and white and pure and
the angel is saying unto us "Write"
and none there be who mar refuse to
obey. It may be gracious deeds and
kindly words that we write upon It in
letters ot gold or it may be that we
blot and blur It with evil thoughts and
stain It with unworthy actions but
write we must! Nellie L. McClung

Old Persian City.
I Persia's ancient city of Tabriz one
' of the scenes of recent violence in
'the shahs dominions can hardly be
' said to have ever enjoyed a quiet life.
When Turk and Turcoman and Per-
' sian were not shaking the obi walls
j with battering ranis the earthquake
wa.3 having its inning. The public
I buildings bear traces of this sort of
violence notably the Kabud "Masjid
blue mosque c nstructed of won-
derfully arabasqued blue tiles; while
the citadel gapes with its earthquake-
riven sides. Although the Anglo-In-
dian telegraph runs through the city
: it is not as in the ancient days when it
was known as the "glorious Tauris."
The new Russian railway has deprived
it of much of its Importance and the
leather merchants and silversmiths
eke i nt a precarious livelihood by en-
gaging in a little smuggling.

'What will you have?" ventured the
young man as they sat down at the
restaurant table.
"Er really I don't know" she said
undecidedly. "What do you think
would suit me?"
Here was his chance.
"If you really want my opinion as
to what would suit you" he respond-
ed with a solemn face. "I think you
had belter try a little Chile sauce."

Ladies First.
Two miners were returning from a
lecture at the village institute when
one of them afetr a thoughtful pause
remarked:
"Say Bill! I doau't see the neces-
sity o' bringing chaps frae London to
teach us aboot manners in the 'ome!
We aiu't so bad as that feller made
out!"
"Of course we ain't!" replied Bill.
"Not by a long way" went on the
first. "I never swears before my
wife "
"No more don't I!" put in Bill
"I alius se ladies fust! That's me."

Patronize State Banks
There are two reasons why Oklahomans should Jo business
with State Banks.
FIRST Because a Innd owner can use his land as a basis of security and
back his money wants with a low rate of interest.
SECOND Because the Oklahoma laws protect the depositor by a guarantee
which husbands his money while on deposit and makes the banks
contribute to a fund out of which in case of failure he is to be paid-
