Our advice to the money lender is TO die IS soon as
be can and leave bis cash to some not half
ricious or foolish as bis want evinces that he is.
To the widow recommend any other place be-
side tbs city for her girls but she still determines to
come here and go into a business at which she will
only be able to hive, most OF the same do by going
head and ears in debt as preliminary STEP to intro
