somewhat about its not coming out for

it is weak affair as regards ability. But
such is sccessionism.

plain statement of what must be done.
This comes Of permitting that commercial
curse, "long credit" to be part of busi-

pie, and when you can not pay for what
you desire but do not absolutely need do
without 1t until you can pay for it, and
if that day never comes you will be all the
better off for not having on your hands
debts contracted needlessly. If you wear
shabby hat or ragged coat because you
cannot afford new ones, sensible persons
will not despise you for it; true, fools
may laugh, but 'fool's laugh is an hon.
