Sect money, honestly, IL you can, but get
money was q foolish fathers advice to his
son Get money, II you can honestly, makes
but slight alteration OF the words, but va
ries the sentiment considerably. There is no
harm in making money. 1t answereth all
things Used rightly. IL is power for good,
form alever by which the mass of humanity
could be lifted, to certain extent out or
it's depths of sorrow and despair. Money
we must have, for money makes the mare
60. Some can make money who have no fac
ulty for saving Would you save you must
know how to deny those who would borrow
and never repay, rs well "A those who beg
simply because they are too lazy TO work.
There are men who never want to see you
except TO ask the favor OF a loan. They will
ask for Just one word with you, and that one
word is sure TO be money. An impecunious
fellow met rich acquaintance and, not lik-
ing TO ask directly for a loan, said: Friend
Smith, IL you had ten dollars IN your pocket,
and was TO ask you for the loan of five, how
many would remain In your pocket!" Zen
dollars, to be sure" replied the rich man,
without q moments hesitation He had
gumption, and knew too much TO part with
his money by any such rule OF subtraction
O. see, said the impecunious man thus
rebuffed He was able to owe He was one
of the Micawber sort-always waiting for
| something to turn up How like some peo-
pie who are sick They think TO get well by
| letting disease take care of itself. But dis
| their victims full often find this out TO their
| sorrow as death seiZes upon them Had they
| been wise In time they might have added
many years to their lease of life. The cure
! was nigh them, as it Is nigh to all who read
| this medley. These paragraphs tell the sto-
nv, as patient perusal will prove. Those
who have keen insight and can read between
| the lines may solve the conundrum the soon
er for it, but upon all light will dawn ere
| they read the final word of our story.

| light of hope and help. Light is what GER
tain individual wanted. Mr.. Jones we will
| call him. He was very sick. Consumption
had fastened its fangs upon him he had
long neglected catarrh, and laughed at the
idea of taking anything for 1t when advised
| to do So and SO went from bad to worse.
| His lungs became diseased, hacking,
| churchyard cough racked him almost TO
| pieces and he was fast wasting away. A
| mere shadow of his former self, he scarcely
slept at all at night, or slept only TO dream
| horrible dreams. Talk OF nightmare, A
whole circus troupe, horses and ali, seemed
! TO make his bed the arena OF their wild per-
formanceS In this case money did not make
the mare go, for he spent deal of money on
doctors and physic and was nothing bet
tered He ate little, and was fast going
down to an untimely grave, leaving his wife
n widow and his four bright children or
phans when 10! on one eventful night he
dreamed for once bright and happy dream,
which our next paragraph will relate
Death, the black -visaged monster had un-
| til then stared him in the face, but the dream
brought him hope He saw bright, white
robed angel in his dream, who said, "come
to bring you good news Here Is your cure
sure, safe, harmless, prompt and reliable.
| Get well aud seek to take health thereby to
others Behold the cure!" With these words
the angel was gone but ere the trail of light
which followed him had vanished the
! dreamer saw, glittering in the light, three
| golden letters-G. NJ. ID. What can 1t
mean" he said TO himself, as he awoke from
his slumber Il have had Good Many
Dreams before, but never such as this
| Startled and surprised, he aroused his wife
and to her related his vision Alas, she could
not solve the problem. Remembering all
the medical advice, and the physic, and the
expense involved since her husband became
sick, she expressed the hope that the letters
were not intended TO suggest that Good
Many Doctors must yet be consulted in ad-
dition TO all that had been interviewed He
groaned in reply and remarked that II he
had TO consult any more there would have
TO be Gold Mine Discovered in order to pay
them.
Every day for week he and his faithful
spouse searched diligently for a key TO tho
problem. In the dictionary, in such news
papers as they happened TO have, in books
on placards on the walls-everywhere they
sought-hoping TO find clew. Letters stand
for words, and they hoped to light upon the
words that should suggest the cure. They
Grieyed MANY Days over their lack of good
luck, az they said, and the Good Mar
Dreamed again and again, but saw no more
angels Hope deferred maketh the heart
sick "Oh, that the angel had Guided Me
Definitely and Given More Directions" ht
exclaimed, again and again.
Nearly two weeks had elapsed since the
night of the Great Mysterious Dream, wheT
there came TO the house a pamphlet TlreC
with his eXhausting office work, which ht
still pursued, determining II possible TO die
in the harness, Jones was about TO throw the
pamphlet in the fire when something prompt
ed him TO examine it Surely, thought he
here can be nothing that VIII Pierce thl

heartened, any relief. Poor man, he haC
worked letters over in his mind, and made
so many combinations with them, that the,
occurred in almost every sentence he ut

Heaven Grant Me Deliverance, he would say
nor let disease Grind Me Down, and so forth
AL httinittpn and "a mile or two beyond
Mentally tortured and suffering in ever,

his mind its contents seemed TO suit him.

Everybody In the house heard him or
Eureka and rushed TO the room TO hear wha
he had found. All expected to zee som
