Chicago Herald Are made In groat quantities in Saxony for export lo India China and United Slates A bard cal careous stone is used This is broken into square blocks and about 150 of these are thrown in lo a mill in which is a flat slab of stone with numerous cencen- trie furrows on its face A block of oak of the same diame ter as the stone a part of which rests on the small stones is made to revolve on the slab while water flows upon it The whole pro cess requires but a quarter of an hour and one mill turn out marbles a week mills at on the in Germany manufacture mar bles and agales especially for Ihe American market So marbles are made going through the mill and gelling the rough corners rubbed off and Ihe edges smoothed down and the mass ground into globular form And boys ore made into men in much the same way by being run through school Which is their their rough corners and disappear and they become round and smooth and fit for use in world Poverty adversity hard times and bard fare all uses in Ibis world to round men and smooth them and polish them and fit Ih em for usefulness here and for glory hereafter Lewis had been an as sistant bookkeeper in Die Third Hank of for near ly When be took this his Heat position his father bad given him Ihe usual parental no vice Save your money son he had said now and you will acquire the habit Yes sir Lewis had agreed and bad even gone- so far as lo that out of his fortydol lar salary ho could save at least ten dollars a month But thirty days elapsed between this good resolution and pay day and in that length of time fine intentions wore forgotten En llio strain of work At on the pay day Lewis stood lingering his four tendol lar bills and enjoying the unac customed elation of money in bis pocket which was all his own One of the bookkeepers noticing absorption slapped him on the back Wake up kid ho ex claimed Going lo buy an auto mobile or a flying machine with that little fortune youve got Lewis grinned goodnaturedly and shook bis bead No am going to eat be replied succinct ly recalling with the quick lunches he had been tak ing until bis salary was duo Come on and have something with mo Sure I the other accepted very readily A few minutes found them sealed in a cool and inviting cafo Lewis ordered generously with a delightful thought that lie was able afford it able to pay with his own money True ho was somewhat astonished to from his bill that the had cosl him two dollars and cents but was nothing save astonishment on his part no dismay lest perhaps he bad been extravagant Ho laid throe bills oh the tray Just keep the change he direct ed who instantly frantically obsequious in his services so much so that Lewis left the in a secret glow of satisfaction That was a mighty good lunch his friend said as they reentered the bank Dont mention it Lewis re plied and went jack to bis desk with a newlyacquired sense of personality and importance That afternoon when Lewis started for borne ho met three or four friends Hello fellows he bailed them on and let us have something cool lo drink Im as hot as a lizard When they left the soda foun tain if Lewis had taken the troub le to notice bis check he would have seen that It read fifty cents Hut he did not notice Instead he picked up the change from a twodollar bill end thrust it care- into bis pocket and out to catch his car Ho slopped a moment to buy a base ball extra Youll Jiave to wail mister while I get change for your dime the newsboy said Thats all right kid keep change Lewis called as ho boarded bis car Of course eight cents didnt amount to anything Ho would have been halfashamed lo wait for such a paltry sum At home Lewis Ms mother on the porch Ashe over her he ten dol lar bill Into her- hand Theres Oh Lewis his mother tested almost tearfully I dont wanf your father says I It to own hild pay board- Fathers rigbt Lewie insist ed I am going to pay more wlion my salarys raised The hot days of July wont by slowly but Lewis rather enjoyed thorn Ho wont often now to cool little cafe around the cornor and times ho look a friend with bow mans a good spender he heard one of the hank clerks say to day and involuntarily ho bad fell complimented Meanwhile Lewis popularity among the young employees of the daily and be bask ed in trio pleasure of it Ho bo- cany quite a palron of Iho near by soda fountain and news boys long since learned that a penny- more or less rnoant no thing lo this young plutocrat But evening about tho twen tieth of the month when Lewie boarded his ear and thrust his hand into his pocket for his fare he was by an unexpected emptiness in that usually Jingling compartment He found a which he handed to Ihe con ductor and then lie began explor ing farther sure that his re sources were hiding in some other pocket diligent search bo collected sixtyfive cents With dawning dismay he realized that this was the sum total of his salary left to carry him till first of the month still ton days distant Lewis mother noted his silent preoccupation at dinner l arent ill are you son I feel all right Lewis replied so shortly that his father glanced at him frowning Nothing wrong at Iho of fice Mr Bowman demanded No sir Levis replied more quietly The beats just sort of me up today I reckon That night when Lewja had gone to bed hie mother in and felt his bead and hands so licitously I couldnt sleep for worrying lest you had fever she explained half apologetically as she rearranged bis covers I all right Lewis replied but I say mother the cheerful warmth of tho

much You wont tell father about Ibis will you Lewis said next morning when his mother slipped the ten dollars in his hand Ho doosnT need to know because lrn going to pay you back on Ihe first All right Mrs Bowman agreed smilingly though there was a shadow of anxiety for the boy in her eyes as she watched him walk briskly away The ten dollars just tided him over till pay day He had not realized before many de mands wore made upon him Somehow when he was out with bis friends he was always the one to pay for everything and try as he would he could not bring himself down to the level plane of economy Such a pro cedure he foil would him with the follows Consequent ly when he drew bis July salary the forty dollars which a month previous had seemed so much looked pitifully small now espe cially when he considered that twenty of it was duo his mother He was contemplating remaining in her debt a little longer when his attention was by an animated group around Robert Stevens one of the assistant bookkeepers Whats the ex citement about Lewis inquir ed strolling up O Bobs Just been doing some financiering someone re plied Whafd you do Bob Lewis asked a bit He didnt think much of Bob

ledger absorbed in thought but ever and anon stopping to gaze at Bob cur iously Finally when banking hours were closed be went over to the desk I say he began Hob looked up I hope you wont think Im med dling but did you save that money youre investing out of your salary Yes why You didnt begin saving till you were making more than dollars a month did you Lewis inquired tentatively I began the first month I was in the bank Bob replied was making thirtyfive dollars Howd you manage it the other asked Well do the way you do Hob answered frankly with a slight twinkle in his Lewis flushed up What are you driving at he demanded Well this Bob explain ed When had worked Ion hours for twentyfour days in ev ery month I got so I rather re spected money thai was paid me for doing it I dont mean I reverenced it but I respected myself enough to respect my sal ary too much to throw It away ev ery chance I bad Lewis looked away uncomfort able A ray of understanding was beginning to penetrate the obscurity of bis inexperience You neednt think though Bowman that it has been as sailing as the lellihg is Bob continued Right now when I gel my salary in hands Id like mighty well chase around and a nice luncheon or set the fellows up Ive had lo fight the temptation of having the fun of spending my money Lewis nodded sympatheticaljy and yet admiringly as he gazed at Bob But I cant afford to spend the lalter said gravely My father hasnt any money If Im ever to get a start Ive got to make it myself I didnt begin With a be added with a grin as he Jims chaff but It wasnt much more I saved just two dollars that first month Giving lectures in high old fellow Jim Bob S3 ho passed the two No hes giving me some com mon sense Lewis interposed so berly That evening the newsboy on the corner was quite

ruined you for entertain ing purposes Jim complained to Lewis Your salary was raised yesterday and you havent asked us lo celebrate with you yet Ive celebrated with myself Lewis laughed and displayed to Jim a savings account bank book Jim contemplated it mournful ly Goodbye ho finally said sorrowfully and wrung Lewis hand Youll never be a good fellow again but youll probably be president of the bank Ob server tfoyw- the PILE ONLY WAY oldfashioned idea was that almost anything might be made an ornament if sufficiently decorated Wooden spoons gild ed and with a ribbon tied around them ornamented the parlor wall Dustpans painted with some live ly scene and with ribbon tied through handle served a sim ilar purpose But presentday taste will have none of this dustpan and the wooden spoon do not belong on tho parlor wall and no amount of gilding or can make them ornament al The old times and the modern ones too a way of trying lo dress up faults in such a fashion as to make them seem ornament al rather than otherwise A bad temper Is something no ono likes to own up to But a young man while he waited for change Time will hear himself called tempera- passed and the expensive little mental and look as if he bad re- around the corner knew him a complement A girl will no more til you she is very sensitive and feels things more than most peo ple and she does not realize that this is only illtemper gilded with a ribbon tied around it The between the snow shovel or dustpan decorated and lo serve as a parlor orna ment and the faults that we and up to admire is simply that the former are useful in their natural state If they are not gilded or tied with ribbon they serve a really impor tant use Rut bad temper or any other fault which we sometimes try to pass off as admirable is as useless it is dressed up as afterward rubbish pile is the for such as these An Unreasonable A lawyer was trying a case when a young man created much disturbance by moving about the room lifting chairs and looking under things Young man called out the Judge you are making great deal of unnecessary What are you about Your Honor replied the young man I have lost my over coat and am trying lo find it Well young man said the Judge people often lose whole soils here without making all that disturbance The vacancy In the post causal by death cfft Pdtoii two weeks ago has been filled
