Economy Due 20 Employ ers

Waste not, want not, f." is a grand
old proverb Gle that is faithful in
little is faithful also in much" 1t is
true enough that a persen that takes
10 care of materials committed TO his
hands by an employer, will not
be careful of his own property.
Economy and wastefullness are hab-
its that will influence US, whether
with our own substance or that Of
another As rule the maa or boy
who takes care Of his employers
goods will be likely to loJb after bis
own, and is on the road to prosperity.
Some men are worth much more than
others simply because they waste
nothing. If an employer be veal
thy, and stock abundant. that IS no
excuse for waste or careIessness.
Loss is loss, and robbery is robbery,
whether it be in much or little 1t
is f0rcibly said that "Heaven allows
nothing 20 be destroyed" There has
not been Il single drop of water vast
ed since the creation. The decom-
posed, elements of the past autumn
will supply ailement for the next
spring. Economy, rigid economy, is
one Of the, laws of nature; and we
shall not realize the good time com
ing" until we are careful and eco
nomical.

that YOU have a peaceful disposition,
and that you have done everything
you could to make home pleasant n

points. After moment be inquired;
"Do you think your wife will con-
test the case Has she any de-
