THE OTHER ALICE.
“It’s all the fault of my abominable
hand-writing, and careless habit of
never crossing my t's,” reflected Owen
Barton, as he reread the prim little
note of acceptance from a girl he had
never invited.
“And I've no one but myself to
blame,” he added in acknowledgement
of the fact that Alice Barl and Alice
Bart did look very much alike.
“Of course, there’s nothing to do but
carry off the situation as if I had in-
“tended it that way, and take Miss Barl
to the dance. I might have known
she would be invited to the Darvin’s
dance on Tuesday. The Barls are an
old family here—older, even, than the
Barts, and the Darvins belong to the
conservative set.
“But—why, the situation is ridicu-
lous! I hardly know the girl.” He
searched his memory for recollections
of Miss Barl.
It was fanciful fate that caused him
to meet Alice Bart, the one of his
choice, on his way home from the
office that afternoon. She was stand-
ing in front of a jeweler’'s window.
“You are late,” greeted she. “Guy
Pilson has been before you, and I've
promised to go with him to the dance
Tuesday night.” There seemed to be
no doubt in her mind that he had in-
tended to invite her,
“Procrastination has defrauded many
a better man,” retorted he regretfully.
“Oh, well, we'll all be at the same
place,” she returned lightly. Then the
expression of her blue eyes changed to
glittering hardness as her glance re-
turned to the jewels.
“I must have them—the diamond
and sapphire necklace!” He could
see the slim fingers grind together.
“Father has more than half promised
me—’
Barton’s eyes shone in responsive
understanding. She seemed born for
things like these, and it was his idea
of serving the woman he loved to deck
her with glittering jewels.
“Some time—some time, Alice, 1
hope to be in a position to buy things
like these, and have the right to give
them to you—" He spoke with hur-
ried eagerness.
She laughed in response, but some-
thing in its quality disappointed him;
there was more calculating appraise-
ment than tenderness in her eyes.
As he presented himself at the old
Barl homestead on the evening of the
dance, he was met by Alice’s mother.
When Alice appeared, dressed in a
simple white dress, he exerted himself
to please, and acknowledged to himself
that though she was not the type he
would have chosen, she was a girl
any man might be proud to escort.
Yet when he arrived at the Darvin’s
and saw Alice Bart, his ardor for Ler
flamed afresh. In a filmy chiffon gown
over blue satin, she gave an effect not
often seen in Edgetown, and about
her throat was the necklace of @diz-
monds and sapphires she had coveted
in the jeweler’s window.
During the evening Barton wan
dered cut on the veranda for a coc:
breath and a quiet smoke. At first
: he thought he was alone, but in a fev,
moments he discovered two men
seated on a bench around the corncr.
“For months I've foreseen this crash
coming in Bart's affairs,” said one.
“Fer old friendship’s sake, I'd have
been willing to give him a loan to tide
him over, if he'd shown any disposi-
tion to retrench in his personal ex-
« Ppenditure. For with care and economy
"this might have been averted. But at
. his present rate of living I knew I
* might as well throw my money out in
the street for all the real good it would
do him.”
“Yes, that’s true,” responded the
other, and Barton recognized the voice
of Matthews, the senior partner in the
firm where he worl~7. “He's the sort
that never dcnies his family anything
—whether he can afford it or not.
Why, only yesterday he bought his
daughter a diamond and sapphire
necklace.”
“The one she’s wearing tonight?”
“Yes, and the thing's caused much
comment. Ycung Barton’s been beau-
Jng her around a good deal lately. But
I noticed tonight he brought ‘Paul
+ BarPs daughter—Alice, her name is,
too, I believe. A fine little girl!”
i “The other girl wculd ruin any
rman,” returned the other lightly, as
“he threw away his cigar and they re-
«turned to the ballroom.
A couple came out on the veranda
and occupied the bench around the
corner left vacant by the two men.
, Then sudden perspiration stood out
. on his forehead, for the couple was no
. other than Alice Bart and Guy Pilson,
a wealthy young fellow who was visit-
ing in Edgetown.

GREAT HARDNESS OF WATER
Try It by Putting Your Arm Over-
hoard When Riding in a
Speed Boat.
Here is a fact which is probably
novel to the average man who has not
spent much of his life thinking about
motor speed beats. This is what we
may call the hardness of the water
when a boat is running at speed.
Water at 50 miles an hour is not the
limpid liquid we are accustomed to
bathe in. If you put your arm over-
board from a hydroplane running at
50 miles an hour and strike a wave
crest the probability is that you will
break your arm or wrist. because at
that speed the water has not time to
give, not time even to change shape,
and striking it is like striking so
much metal.
In the great hydraulic mining noz-
zles, where a stream of water under
enormous head is used to wash down
hillsides, a swordsman, in attempting
shatter the sword without being able
to penetrate the water. The stream
is like a bar of iron. The fact that
water at relative speed is so hard—
or that its inertia is so great, to be a
little more accurate—is the reason
why a skipping stone travels over
the surface, and is the reason why a
hydroplane boat slides over the sur
face instead of plowing its way
through.
The picture we must have in our
minds, then, of a speed boat is that it
is traveling not in water; as we ordi
narily understand it, but over the sur-
face of a semi-solid, very much as a’
sled travels over snow. The hard-
ness of water at 50 miles an hour we
might compare with the hardness of
cheese—at rest—American Magazine.
Women Naturally Seek Matrimony
More Than Men Because of
Teachings of Generations.
Women have the marrying habit;
men do not. This is not strange, for
generations of girls have been taught
that every woman should be married, i
and that to remain unwed is a dis-
grace. Being a “married woman” has |
been a sort of boast of superiority on |
the part of wives. Naturally, because ,
their mothers and almost every other
person of their own sex put a great :
deal of emphasis on the desirability
of being married, and none at all on .
the desirability, which sometimes ex-
ists, of remaining unmarried, girls
looked on marriage as the goal of
ambition, and bent their whole ener-
gies to getting husbands.
Rather than endure the unjust stig- ;
ma of being ‘“cld maids” they too!
the first man who gave them a
chance. Their object was not love, :
not a husband, but simply to acquire ;
the status, privileges and deférence °
which they had been taught were de- .
nied to all of their sex except the
“married woman,” :
Can you imagine anything more dis-
astrous? Hon ag |
Yet this is only half the story. The
other half consists in the fact that ;
the very same mothers who fairly
drive their daughters to marry are |
singularly reluctant to see their sens |
wed. The mother who is employing |
all the arts and craft of the chase to ’
entrap some other woman’s son for |
her daughter’s husband, will weep at
ilie announcement that the other !
woman’s daughter has shackled her |
sen.—Mother’s Magazine. !
QUEER THINGS ABOUT DEBT
Only Thinv That Goes Contrary to
Naturz’s Laws—Every Debtor
Is a Creditor.
Debt is the one thing which goes
cenfrary to the laws of nature, be-
cause you can contract and expand it
at the same time. Nothing exceeds
like debt. g
Everyone is always in debt to some
one else. Every debtor is a creditor,
every creditor is a debtor. There be-
ing no clearing héuse of humanity,
the thing goes on from day to day
getting more complicated.
When you borrow money from a
man who is willing to lend it to you,
you are his creditor to the extent that
you have favored him with an oppor-
tunity.
Everybody starts by owing the gov-
ernment his part of the interest on
the national debt. As this is increas-
ing all the time, the fatal habit some
people have of putting off the day of
their birth counts against them.
It is declared to be immoral for
poor people to borrow money. Rich
people, who have inherited money
which really doesn’t belong to them,
can, however, borrow all the money
they can get, a practise considered
highly proper.
Debt is a poor sleeping companion.
He won’t stay hitched. If you put
him off in a room by himself and
draw down the blinds, he always
breaks loose and interrupts you just
when you are beginning to enjoy your-
self. If you fail to pay his board and
lodging, he grows larger and eats
more. And what a witless companion
he is!—Life.
" Too Much Decoration.
Mr, Smith, out walking with his
small son Bobby, met Mr. Brown, a
fellow architect. They strolled along
together. To keep their minds in work-
ing trim, the two men patronizingly
picked out the good and bad ualities
of the new buildings they passed.
Presently Bobby spied a spotted dog.
“Look, father,” he said scornfully—
“look at that dog. I don’t like ft.
There’s too much work on it!”—Every-
body's.
‘Depew on the War.
Former Senator Chauncey M. ‘Depew,
who has long been an ardent admirer
and personal friend of the Kaiser, severe-
ly censured the German ruler in an in-
terview with the World correspondent.
“This war is the crime of all centu-
ries,” said Mr. Depew with impressive
earnestness. “Itis a crime of ambition
—the dream of a man who thinks him-
self another Napoleon.
“Ten million men will die as the result,
directly or indirectly, of this crime, and
for generatiohs Europe will suffer in-
calculably. ?
“It is almost incredible to think,” con-
tinued Mr. Depew, “that one man could
throw the whole world back into the six-
teenth century. Something is wrong with
the Kaiser. Either his environment is at
fault, or there has been a complete re-
versal of his mental processes.
“This war will mean the geratest im-
pulse for socialism that history records.
It will mean an end to all kings with real
powers and an end to all bully buieau-
cracies.”
It is recalled that on the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the Kaiser’s reign, Mr.
Depéw’s speech in honor of the German
monarch attracted world-wide attention
as a model of expression.—Gazetie
Times.
“Prevention is better than cure,” says
the familiar proverb. So familiar indeed
is that proverb that we lose its force. We
need to be reminded that prevention is
better than cure because it saves us time.
money and suffering. We also need the
reminder that prevention is a great deal
easier than cure. Many times disease
which might have been prevented cannot
be cured at any cost. About one-sixth
of the deaths of this country are due to
consumption. The use of Dr. Pierce's |
Golden Medical Discovery has saved
thousands and thousands of men and
women who suffered from obstinate |
cough, bronchitis, “weak lungs,” bleeding |
of the lungs, and similiar ailments, which, |
if neglected, or unskillfully treated, lead y
to consumption. Ninty-eight per cent. |
of those who give “Golden Medical Dis- |
covery” a fair and faithful trial, are per-
manently benefited. There is nothing
“just of good” as Dr. Pierce’s Golden |
Medical Discovery.

Pure Rich Blood
Prevents Disease
Bad blood.—that is, blood that is im-
pure or impoverished, thin and pale,—is
responsible for more ailments than any-
thing else.
It affects every organ and function. In
some cases it causes catarrh; in others,
dyspepsia: in others, rheumatism; and in
still others, weak, tired, languid feelings
and worse troubles.
It is responsible for run-down condi-
tions, and is the most common cause of
disease.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is the greatest puri-
fier and enricher of the blood the world
has ever known. It has been wonderful-
ly successful in removing scrofula and
other humors, increasing the red-blood

AAEEAEEHEEAAAAAEEEEEAEAAAR AAA AEE EIS MIS AE EE A A A IS
A Dollar That Can’t Be Spent
By HERBERT KAUFMAN
Author of *‘Do Something! Be Something!’’
VERY dollar spent in advertising is not only a seed dollar which
E produces a profit for the merchant, but is actually retained by
him even after he has paid it to the publisher.
Advertising creates a good will equal to the cost of the publicity.
Advertising really costs nothing. While it uses funds it does not
use them up. It helps the founder of a business to grow rich and
then keeps his business alive after his death.
It eliminates the personal equation. [t perpetuates confidence
in the store and makes it possible for a merchant to withdraw from
business without having the profits of the business withdrawn from
him. It changes a name to an institution—an institution which will
survive its builder.
It is really an insurance policy which costs nothing—pays a
premium each year instead of calling for one and renders it possible
to change the entire personnel of a business without disturbing its
prosperiry.
Advertising renders the business stronger than the man—inde-
pendent of his presence. It permanentizes systems of merchandis-
ing, the track of which is left for others to follow.
_ A business which is not advertised must rely upon the personality
of its proprietor, and personality in business is a decreasing factor.
The public does not want to know the man who owns the store—
it isn’t interested in him but in his goods. When an unadvertised
business is sold it is only worth as much as its stock of goods and its
fixtures. There is no good will to be paid for—it does not exist—
it has not been created. The name over the door means nothing
except to the limited stream of people from the immediate neighbor-
hood, any of whom could tell you more about some store ten miles
away which has-regularly delivered its shop news to their homes.
It is as shortsighted for a man to build a business which dies
with his death or ceases with his inaction, as it is unfair for him not
to provide for the continuance of its income to his family. -
