SATURDAY EVENING POST. 



Baron Munchausen was the first travel- 

 ing man, and my drummer's expense ac- 

 counts still show his influence. 



Adam invented all the different ways in 

 which a young man can make a fool of 

 himself, and the college yell at the end of 

 them is just a frill that doesn't change 

 essentials. 



It't the fellow who thinks and acts for 

 himself, and sells short when prices hit 

 the high C and the house is standing on its 

 hind legs yelling for more, that sits in the 

 directors' meetings when he gets on toward 

 forty. 



Pay day is always a month off for the 

 spendthrift, and he is never able to real- 

 ize more than sixty cents on any dollar 

 that comes to him. But a dollar is worth 

 one hundred and six cents to a good busi- 

 ness man, and he never spends the dollar. 



If you gave some fellows a talent 

 wrapped in a napkin to start with in busi- 

 ness, they would swap the talent for a gold 

 brick and lose the napkin; and there arc 

 others that you could start out with just a 

 napkin who would set up with it in the 

 dry goods business iu a small way and then 

 coax the other fellow's talent into it. 



I alwrys lay it down as a safe proposi- 

 tion that the fellow who has to break open 

 the baby's bank for car-fare toward the 

 last of the week isn't going to be any Rus- 

 sell Sage when it comes to trading with the 

 old man's money. From the letters of a 

 self-made merchant to his son, now appear- 

 ing in the Saturday Evening Post, 

 LADIES' HOME JOURNAL. 



Evidently no effort has been spared to 

 make The Ladies' Home Journal for Aug- 



ust a positive boon to its readers during 

 these warm midsummer days. Its light, 

 readable articles, bright stories, clever 

 poems, charming music, and numerous 

 beautiful illustrations afford the easiest 

 and pleasantest kind of entertainment for 

 leisure hours. Enchanting views of the 

 lovely scenery in the Engadine Valley and 

 among the Swiss and Italian lakes, as well 

 as such delightful articles as "The Singing 

 Village of Germany" and ''What Girl-Life 

 in Italy Means," allure the thoughts to 

 foreign lands, while there are timely sug- 

 gestions about "the Picnic Basket, ""Keep- 

 ing a House Cool in the I)og-Days," and 

 "Sea-Side Toys and How to Make Them." 

 Other thoroughly interesting contributions 

 are "The First White Baby Born in the 

 Northwest." "My Boarding-School for 

 Girls," and the usual serial and depart- 

 ment articles. By the Curtis Publishing 

 Company, Philadelphia. One dollar a 

 year; ten cents a copy.
