Many philosophers Mtve dwelled at length on debt. Benjamin Franklin regarded ll aa one of the greatest evtla. All agree that “debt Is the worit kind of poverty." Dr. Samuel Johnson was another wno looked upon it as a menace to individual happiness and welfare and a de stroyer of community prosperity As reportel by the faithful Boswell, Dr. Johnson esld: Do not accustom yourself lo consider debt only ns an Incon venience: you will find it a ca lamity. I.t It be your first care not to be in any man's debt: Small debts are like small shots; they are rattling on every side and can scarcely he escaped without a wound Groat debts are like cannon, of loud noise but little danger. You must, therefore, be prepared to dis charge petty debts that you may have leisure, with eecurlty, to Struggle with the rest Whatever you have, spend less Frugality Is not only the basis of quiet but of beneficence.

There are 31* cltiea In the United States that have commission govern ment. No city that has ever adopt pot the new rulo has ever rone back to the old form. Auauata ought to he the next city to adopt the new rule.

The qulckentnw «if public cnli sciouanees In both these cities under the new form of government la Inter eetlnw In Itself, but Trenton ie more worth study, aa it Is an average Eastern city and shows how the cotn m lesion grurerntnent works under a\- eramr Eastern conditions The five commissioners of Trenton are not unusual men. Moat of them have been politicians cf the old kind. But the commlaaion form of wcvern ment places cn each one responsibility that ha cannot escape It makes him realise this responsibility or If not every voter is certain to know It. The success of the commission form of arrunent In Trenton lies more In the form of government than in the Par ticular men. The newspapers are free In their criticism Even the Trenton Times which fought for the commission gov ernment and ie largely responsible for its adoption, does not hesitate to crit icize. For that matter the commls slohVrs freely criticize one another In open meeting. In fact there could hardly he greater freedom of expres sion than exists In Trenton. Mean while the faith of the public In the Institution Is growing stronger &LEEFYIM Stales MISCHIEVOUS NED. Once upon a time Ned's mother told him lie was the most mischievous boy she had ever seen. “What shall I do with you?" ehe often said. One day he had seemed to do every thing he could think of that he ought not to do. He had bothered the cat so that sho Jit to pod up on the table Into grandma's work basket anti had broken her glasses. Ills mother sent him around the corner to get them mended and coming borne he had stopped to piny with some other boys and torn lilh new trousers. While his mother was mending them he slid down the banisters anti made a long scratch on them with his heels. Then his mother sent him to his room to stay until, as she said, he could learn to behave. He went up very slowly almost in tears Tor he hail promised the boys he would come out and play ball with them. Oh, dear, he wondered if they had started to play anti he walked to the window to see. " Yes thev had and Harry was pitching, if be could see them play that would he better than nothing. As he looked he saw a nar row ledge Just outside the window that, he could clitnb out on anti watch them. He didn't stop to think he was a long way from thd ground and the ledge very narrow. Carefully he climbed along until he could gee the hoys playing. That was fine but he was so Intent watching them that he didn't see his mother out In the gar den, or that she had seen him stand ing outside the window. Ills mother was very frightened When she saw him. She didn't dare tall to him for fear It would startle him and he might fall. She walked up to the room and carefully neared Ihn window Just In time to hear him say: "Gee, lie can't hit a windmill If I bad only been there." "Oh, Ned," was all his mother could say and began to cry When Ned saw his mother cry he was so sorry and ran over to her and kissed her. "What la the matter. Mother?” ho said. “You might have fallen, Ned, dear," she answered him. Then Ned knew that he had made his mother unhappy and he threw his arms around her and said: “I am sorry. I won't be naughty again," and he never was. . HOW COMMISSION GOVERNMENT WORKS. Amos Dosch writing In the World's Work thua describes how commission government works In Trenton, N. J.: "Here were half a dozen men, the five commissioners and the city clerk, met to do business. There was no gavel, no parliamentary rules. They took their places at the table, each considering the questions on his mind, ami each in turn receiving the undivid ed attention of his colleagues. There wns straight-forward criticism, and every member expressed his plea. Moreover questions, were brought up Hod settled with an almost un unhellevable promptitude. Having sat through many a weary council meeting, when 1 was a city hall reporter, and having seen all questions of importance shoved Into some committee for further delibera tion, to me the moat refreshing Part about tho commission'! way of doing business was the way It got It done. The men there do not Btrlve to cut a dignified figure. They wish to get things done, and they go about It In a simple way which Is more dignified than any mere appearance that their predecessors could have created. In the first ten minute* that 1 sat in that room 1 saw business transact ed which L know, under the old cotin cllmanlc form of government, would not have been brought to a Conclusion within a period of three months or more. Ami as all the commissioners were there, representing every angle of the city government, every bureau snd commission, they found a way right (here to prevent it. Under the old al [ dermnnlc or coundlmanllc form of I government they could not have ar rived at the same point In months, and probably would never have arrived there. By the time the question had passed through the various commit tees anil had been considered by the attorneys the proper bill could hardly have reached the mayer for signature In less than stx months. By that time the damage would probably have been done. Why Trenton Likes the New Form.

Drusilla and Bobby Joneß were great friends, and as Bobby never left Ihe playroom he learned all he knew of the big world outside from Drusilla, who traveled extensively. "I do not see what can be the mat ter.” said Bobby Jones one day. "Drusilla has been gone a week.” Just then the door opened and in came the maid with Drusilla. Sho set JJrusilla down In the corner by Bobby with a bang and went out and closed the door. "Oh, dear!" said Bobby, with a long sigh, “I thought you had gone for good this time.” “Don’t speak of It.” said Drusilla, covering her face with her hands, “it was just awful.” In a few minutes she dried her eyes and looked at him. "Bobtiy Jones. 1 have been almost drowned.” she said, looking at him to see the effect of this startling piece of news. "Have you?” asked Bobby, not hav- SNAPSHOTS MAKING RAINBOWS. “What Ik my husband doing out there on the lawn?” a woman asked of a friend who came in for a late afternoon call. “Making rainbows,” replied the friend. “Making rainbows!" exclaimed the woman. And she looked as if she were on tiie point of rushing out to see If her husband had suddenly gone crazy. “Well,” explained the friend, “some people might say he is watering the lawn; but as almost every little spray Is a ilalnty nnd exquisite rainbow, 1 prefer to say he is making rainbows.” The other woman laughed. “You do have each queer Mens. I couldn't Imagine what had come over my hus band. I thought maybe he was blow ing soap bubbles or doing some other equally Idiotic thing." “But," persisted the friend. “Isn't It lots more Interesting to make rain bows than to water the lawn?” "What's the difference?” asked the other practleally. “If you are making rainbows you see the lovely colons, and think about the marvelous {properties of light and you enjoy every minute of your work. But If >ou are only watering the lawn you think how wet and messy the iiose is, and that you are getting your feet all damp, and how long It takes and why doesn't It rain so you would- THE WAYS OF THRIFT (Copyright, 1914, American Society fo r TrTlt.) THE WAY THE FRENCH SAVE. Tho thrift of the individual in France has made his nation the su preme International creditor. It Is said that every u&tiou under the sun Is paving golden tribute to France. The Frenchman's thrift, which ie pro verbial, ia not a penurious repressive grind, but an intelligent, constructive use of the materials at hand. "To him who wills ways are not want lug."

AUGUSTA, GA, ing the slightest notion of what it meant to he almost drowned. “I should say 1 did come near drowning,” said Drusilla. "My little mother took ine out. as you know, a week ago. in the park. She met a lit tle girl lhat she knew and they began to talk, and the maid who was with us met a maid she knew, and they sat >n a scat and talked. Then the little girl and rny little mother saw some swans and they went down to the edge of the pond to fed them, and all this time I sat In my carriage on the bank, when along came the biggest dog you ever saw and sniffed at me. Oh, but was frightened! Then he poked his nose against iny carriage and, not be iing satisfied, he walked along swing ling his tall, which was a large as a dust brush, and it hit my carriage. Before anyone could stop It It rolled down that hank and over It tipped into the pond.” Drusilla stopped and looked at Bob by without saying a word for a min ute. "Well, the swans were in there," said Bobby, “you were not afraid of them, were you?” "Well, Bobby Jones, if you think the pond Is not deep all you have to do is to be thrown In, face down,” said Dru silla. "But couldn't your mother pick you up?” asked Bobby. “Up?" aaiid Drusilla, “you mean out. No, she couldn't, for I floated right away from the edge of the pond and 1 could feel my clothes soaking the water ” "Water!" screamed Bobby, who was as afraid of water as a kitten.” "Well,” Drusilla went on, "my little mother saw me, and she screamed. The maid thought it was my little mother who was almost drowned, and she came running down the bank, fol lowed by the other maid and a police man. “They got a stick and the policeman caught me just as I was going down to tlie bottom of the pond. And, Bob by Jones, it is full of fish, too." “Oh! Oh! Oh!” said Bobby. "The policeman got my carriage, but my little mother would not let me out of her arms even if I was wet. I have been drying all this time, and my clothes have been ironed, too. Don't I look nice?" asked Drusilla. “Yes," said Bobby, -but I’d rather not look nice if I had to be almost drowned to get fixed up.

"There are Just as many facts on the side of the rainbow as on the other. It is all in the point of view. In one case you see beauty, in the other case you see drudgery.’’ Wasn't the friend right? And can't we apply her bit of fanci ful whlmsey to many other things in life. When we keep house are we mak ing a home, or are we merely cooking and sweeping and washing dishes? When we click a typewriter all day or add a long column of figures are we playing a part in the great busi ness of the w’orld or are we only writing letters or book-keeping or merely earning a living? When we make dresses or trim hats are we creating something useful and beautiful or are we ploddingly and ungraciously snipping and bast ing and stitching?
