Benjamin Franklin,the American patron saint of Thrift, whose 'birth- day was celebrated in the United Etatea last week, in Colonial days in- culcated thrift by many wise saws and humorous allusions. The immor- tal printer wwrote of his housekeep- ing while yet he was neither well -to- • olo nor well known: "We kept no idle servants, our table was plain and simple, our furniture of the cheapest. For in- stance, my breakfast was for a tome time bread and milki (no tea), and I ate it out of a twopenny earthen porringer, with a pewter spoon. But mark how luxury will enter families, Viand make a progress in spite of principle; being called one morning to breakfast, I found it in a china bowl, with is spoon of silver! They had been bought for me without my knowledge by my wife, and had cost 'her the enormous sum of three and twenty shillings, for which she ,had no other excuse or apology to make but that she thought her husband deserved a silver spoon and china bowl as well as any of his neighbors." But the spoon and bowl had been earned. Franklin was beginning to prosper. Mrs. Franklin would not be denied. Mark the wide brow of her, the straight line and the firm, round chin, in the copy of the painting which her husband treasured, the New York Times. She was not a well read woman and little inter- ested in 'his hobbies—"not a congen- ial companion for 'him," says a bio- grapher—but she was a good partner in the printing office, buying rags for paper and stitching phamplets. She Thad the home -keeping virtues, too, and wip of a fine, full figure that her husband, an excellent judge of corn- liness, admired. In one of his let- ters to her that 'he wro'te in the hey- day of success he said that "it was a comfort to me t, recollect that I had once been clothed from head to foot in wollen-and linin of my wife's manufacture, and that 1 was never prouder of any dress in my 'life." As a model of conduct and as social philosopher Franklin was n perfect—perhaps it lis only as patron of thrift that .he deserves 'large following. There was realt little of the saint in 'him. He wa indulgent to sinners, being one him self. But he knew the value of money, and how to save if t., get 00 ir. the world, as few men have done. At fifteen he tried vegetarianism— living on a few cents a day. He thrived on it and with his savings ;purchased books. When stranded as a boy in London, through the trearh- ery of Governor Keith, he found work in a printing office, where everybody 'guzzled beer but himself. Franklin drank water because it cost nothing. Yet he 'was never a teetotaler. In prosperous times be drank what his taste called for without stint. Wash- ington the canonized, consumed from half a pint to a pint of Maderia a day, besides punch and beer. Frank- lin sometimes drank as much, but for that age he was a temperate man It is very easy to misunderstand the thrift of Franklin—it was a means to an end. There is the story of the clergy man's daughter who, daring his exile as a youth in London, boarded him for one -and six a week to get the benefit of his conversation, He had (previously agreed to pay two shil- lings elsetvhere: "So the future economist of two continents enlarged his knowledge" (she was a cultivated woman) "and at the same time re- duced his board to 37 cents a week."- An enemy of Franklin's, such as Wil- liam Cobbett was, would have de- nounced .him as a sponger. It is not to be supposed that Franklin, who was one of the most human of men, dived up to that moral code he fram- ed for himself in his early twenties but he did practice the precept of rule 5: "Make no expense but to do good to others, or yourself—waste nothing." "Imitate Jesus and So- crates," was his final exhortation, of which it can only be said that he meant but half of it. His industry was tremendous and most consistent when he didn't feel lazy. Ile did not work by the clock, either day or night. But the truth is, he was self-indulgent when he could afford to be. He failed to practice all be preached in the Almanac. It spoke for .him to millions. "The Sayings of Poor Richard" has been translated into fifteen or more languages. More than seventy-six editions have been ore than fifty ei do French. and in English The Almanac has been the foundation of count- less fortunes. Yet the writer had no parsimony in him. Satisfied with the success of his printing business, ) be retired at the early age of 42, turning it over to his partner, David , Hall, in a contract remarkable for 1 easy terms and generosity. Hail was to pay him a thousand pounds a year for eighteen yearn, then to become sole proprietor. The earn - tags at the time were about two thousand pounds. For the re- mainder of his life, forty-two years, Franklin devoted himself to litera- ture, science and his country, but was neverin receipt of rewards commensurate with his services. For all his thrift Franklin did not care for money as a distinction or as a source of satisfaction to the possessor.

A NAUGHTY CAT Theodora, the wildcat presented to Marshal Foch by a western post of the American Legion, temporarily ruined 50,000 francs' worth of pet dogs during her voyage to France, Theodora was placed in a cage in the kennel room on the top deck, where the shin's butcher acted as valet for the valuable. canines. During .the week's trip the peculiar and power- ful odor of the wildcat thoroughly impregnated the sleek fur of the i^ekinese, the wiry coats of the bull- dogs and the tender epidermis of the Mexican hairless dogs. As result, when the butcher delivered the fash- ionable animals to the bejeweled and befurred French and American pas- sengers disembarking they tittered shrieks of surprise and dismay at the awful smell of their usually perfum- ed pets.'Pearl White, the film star, kissed her terrier and then delayed the boat train a 'half-hour until she scrubbed the animal in a stateroom bathtub, afterwards .muffling it in a silk sweater to prevent its catching cold, BUSIEST STATION IN THE WORLD Twenty years ago Londoners, proud of the size of the city and the dimen- sions of its traffic, used to point to the fact that Clapham Junction was the busiest railway station in the world—on an everage .a train a minute passed through it.
