WHY NOT USE SILVER?
Evidences that the declining
gold production is commenc
ing to weigh heavily on the
minds of the financiers and
economists continue to multi
ply and it is evident that the
world is facing a condition
which threatens the financial
stability of many nations.
Commenting on the situation
at the recent annual meeting of
of the American Smelting and
Refining Company, H. Brown
ell, vice president of the comp
any, said he saw little that was
encouraging in silver except
that with practically all the
world going on a gold basis or
striving to do so, there may not
be enough gold to permit this.
He pointed out that half of the
world’s gold now comes from
the Rand mines, and that dist
rict has reached its apex and in
the next few years its output
will be declining. Unless im
portant new gold fields are:
discovered prices of commodi- ]
ties must go down greatly, the ,
buying of gold increase tre
mendously or else the world
st find another medium of
exchange besides gold or de
v i s e much more efficient'
methods of using gold as a
medium.
All of which seems to uphold
the once derided contention of
the late W. J. Bryan that mon
etary stability could not be as
cured without the employment
of silver on a proper ratio with
gold. To which may be added
the present view of such finan
cial commentators as do not:
fear to speak their minds that
the demonitization of silver by j
the great financial interests
was one of the greatest injuries
ies ever inflicted on mankind,
as well as one of the greatest j
examples of financial knavery
in history.
THE CHANCE GOES BY
A man does not always know j
his chance when it comes to:
him, but if he lets it pass, he
will learn in time it went by.
Then, too late, he will over
whelm himself with reproach
es for not seizing the golden
opportunity.
Business men decry tardiness
in those whom they enipjoy,
for that means not simply the
waste of time that should be
spent in work, but the failure
to bo present when Opportun
ity, coming without warning,
knocks peremptorily and, be
ing unanswered, summarily de
paits. Returning belated, one
may listen eagerly for a repe
tition of that summons to rise,
confront Destiny face to face,
but it dees not come. The
great chance appeared unher
alded and found us wanting
and went away, leaving no ad
dress with which we may com
municate.
Opportunities come like suc
ceestul burglars, when we least
expect them. And when we fail ,
to see them, they promptly gc !
where there are others with
rimmed lamps. These others
promptly seized what might
have been our own, and all our
boast of what we might have :
lone had our “luck” been dif- i
ferent are unavailing. What j
is luck? Most of the time it I
means to be in the right place ;
it the right moment. The one j
who is there is the winner over
)ne who is elsewhere. And he
who is there must usually be
present not simply in the phys
cal sense; he must attend with
all his faculties. As Shakes
peare reminded us, it is of no
.ise to have our eyes open if
“their sense is shut.” A senti
nel must be at his post but he
is futile if he sleeps.
Thus to recognize and im-;
prove the opportunity one must
be broad awake to it with the
keen edga of the senses whet-;
ted. The worker who brings
only part of his mind to his task
is not woith the whole of the
pay he draws. He will miss
chances not merely for him
self-those that quicklyxseized
may promote his own fortune
but for the concern that when
it secured his services supposed
that it was getting every bit of
the man he was.
Just for Fun
The older a little girl gets the
more her candy costs.
Poor brakes cause auto crash- j
es. Bad breaks cause business |
crashes.
When a man leaves his wife
she usually hasn’t lost half as
much as she thinks she has.
Jealousy is a green-eyed mon- i
ster, but it may turn one or1
both eyes black. It all depends.

When denying yourself some :
pleasure, be sure you gain at j
least as much as you lose.

I pains out of it.
The joy of doing something •
for yourself is doubled if you

I It isn’t of record that these '
youngsters who take up crime
to get a thrill ever were consist-!
ently spanked.
The tallest monument in the
cemetery often expresses mere
ly the gratitude of the heirs for
the money.
Funny man! If a rich man
asks him for a smoke, he’s flat
tered ; if a bum asks him for a
smoke, he’s indignant.
“Willie,’ said the Sunday
School teacher severely, “you
shouldn’t talk like that to your
playmate. If he has wronged
you, have you never thought ol
heaping coals of fire on hk
head?’’
“Gee. No ma’am, I hadn’t but
it’s a peach of an idea.”
“What were you and Mr.
Smith talking about in the par
lor?” asked mother.
“We were discussing our kith
and kin,” replied the daughter.
The mother looked somewhat
dubiously at her daughter,
whereupon her little brother,
wishing to help his sister out,
said:
“Yeth they wath, mother; 1
heard them. Mr. Smith asked
for a kith and sis said, “you
kin.”
Seven Wonders of the Whirl.
At five years he wonders why
grownups get cross.
At ten years he wonders why
his older brother is crazy.about
the girls.
At fifteen years he wonders
why his younger brother is not
crazy about the girls.
At twenty-four he wonders
why he ever lived without his
twins.
At twenty-eight he wonders
why he ever got married.
At forty-one he wonders if he
will ever get a raise.
At seventy-five he wonders
why he wonders at anything.
