ed tables of all the good things that

was, "that altho she knew that was
her birthday she never knew it came
on Thanksgiving before." The folks
took alnost two hours to eat and
wouldn't be done yet if it hadn't been
that someone else wanted his chair.
After dinner Francis Youngblood
took a picture of the diners in a
group and several individual picl-
res of the babies. We had some

olin accompanied by his brother Bert

A Shortage In Men.
We are being informed by good
authority mcst every day of a short-
age of some of the staple products
in the near future because the de-
mand is greater than the supply
These statements strike us wiih
amazement; but how does this state
ment appeal to you. It comes from
man cf gocd authority. "Never
in the history of the worid has ther-
been such a famine cf high priced
men as exists at the present time
The average man to-day m*y well
be called a failure because he earn
so little. Only seven and one half
per cent of the men of our country
earn between SI,800 and $3,500 per
year ; eighty five percent are earning
less than $15 per week.
The question arises why do they
not earn more? The answer is sin
pie. They are failing to make the
proper preparation. Hugh Chi
mers was a stenographer for th
National Cash Register Company at
the age of fourteen, Vice president
and General Manager at the agetf
twenty-eight at a salary of $>0,000
per year. Mr. Chal ners made prep
aration early in life. Every young
man or woman who has an ambition
to be classed as one of these hig
salaried officials should make the
necess *ry preparation at once. By
investigation you will find that
great many of these men who are
drawing large salaries began in the
FOOLED BY BOGUS WEAPONS
Recent Incident In Brooklyn Only On«
of Many That Have Been
Placed on Record.
When Albert Smith of Brooklyn
fought a burglar with an empty re-
volver the other day he only added
to a long list of instances in which
the housebreaker has been put to
flight through a subterfuge. In
Smith's case his wife had taken the
cartridges from the revolver so that
their little-five-year-old child, who
had taken the weapon from the bu-
reau drawer one day, should not do
again to her injury. It wh ■
revolver just the same.
A bunch of keys more than once
has compelled a "bad crowd'' to
"hold up their hands" when pulled
from the hip pocket ostentatiously in
the dark. A musician going home
one night in the suburbs of Chicago
flashed his fife at a man who came
out of the shadows demanding money
and in an instant the man fled. A
piece of gaspipe declared to be a
bomb was sufficient on one occasion
in Cleveland to disperse a fighting
mob near the river front. The man
who called it a bomb was a detective
engaged in keeping the peace during
mill strike.
