?. CooPER's ILLUSTRATION OF UsU-
RY-Mr. Cooper was always q careful
and prudent business man. He was al
ways opposed to the methods Of many
merchants. who launched out in extrav-
agant enterprise on borrowed money
for which they paid exhorbitant rates
Of interest. Once, while talking about
project with an acquaintance, the
latter said he would have to borrow
the money for six months, paying in
terest at the rate Of 3 per cent. per
month. why do you borrow for so
so short time r. .Mr@Cooper asked.
Because the brokers win not nepo-
tiate bills for longer We'll, If you
wish, said Mr.. Cooper, "I will dis
count your note at that rate for three
years, ''Are you in earnest r asked
the wonld-be borrower. Certainly
4 am. / viii discount your note for
q 10,O00 for three years at that rate.
Will you do it?' "0f course I will, !"
said the merchant. Very well, I"
said Mr.. Cooper; 'just sign this note
Tor $lO,UOO, payable IN three years,
and give me your check for $500,
and the transaction Is complete.
"But where is the mosey Tor me z
asked the astonished merchant. eYon
don't get any money" was the reply.
Your interest for SO months, at 8
per ceutun Per month. amounts to
los, per centum, or Sl0,S0O; there
fore, your cheek for $500 Just makes
MS even" The force Of this practical
ILLUSTRATION Of the folly OF paying such
an exhorbitant price for the use of
money was such that the merchant
determined never 10 borrow at such
ruinous rates. and he frequently used
to say that nothing could have so fal-
ly, sonnvinoad- -him as this rather hu-
mOrous proposal by Mr.. Cooper.

MIsERIEs or A MEAN MAE.-Some-
times | wonder what q mean man
thinks about when he goes to bed,
says burdette, in the Hawkeye. When
he turns out the light and lies
down. When the darkness closes in
about him and he is alone, and
compelled to be honest with himself.
and not bright thought not q
generous impulse, not manly act,
not word Of blessing. not grateful
look comes 10 bless him again. Not
a penny dropped in the oatstretched
palm of poverty, nor the balm of q
loving word dropped into an aching
heart no sunshine OF encouragement
cast upon q struggling life no strong
right hand Of fellowship reached out
to help some fallen man to his feet
when none of these things come 20
him al the God bless y0u" Of the
departed day how he must hate him
self How he must try TO roll away
from himself and sleep on the other
side Of the bed. When the only VIC
tory he can think of is some mean vic
tory in which he has wronged his
neighbor. No wonder he always
sneers when he tries 70 smile. How
pure and fair and good all the rest 81

In Case Of Fire.

Fire makes headwny more rapidly in
burning clothes wheE the endangered
person is standing up. The difference
in progress between burning lamplight-
er OF twisted paper, held in the hand
perpendicularly flame down, and in the
same paper laid fiat on q marble hearth
can be seen in a moment. The first
thing to do when clothing catches fire is
to lie fiat and cover up the flames, if
there is nothing in reach to smother it.
If there ia bed near, getting between
the blankets and rolling up in them is q
surer way of putting out the fire in
burning skirt or sleeve. The worst, the
very worst, thing to do is to run down
stairs. Opening the door makes one
draught, the flight downstairs another,
and rushing out into the street is the
worst Of all. The impulse TO get out OF
doors liz very strange in all such cases,
because within the house there are al
ways means for putting out fire and
outside there are none. Rugs, rag. carpet
| torn off the kitchen floor, n heavy over
| coat, blankets from the beds put round
the person in the tw winkling of an eye,
while water pals and pitchers are there
| Mt hand, ready TO bo emptied. In every
| case let the person whose clothes or hair
has caught fire throw herself on the
| floor and roll upon the flame. If there
is anything in the room Of thick woclen
or carpets to smother it, even gossamer
waterproof cloak, snatch these and
smother the fire while calling for help.
II the fire has caught the hair, bury tho
head in bedclothes. Fire cannot burn
without mir, and by shutting out nll air
from tho flames they must go out. But
an open door fans the flames and a stand.
ing position gives them hcadway.

Experience With a Cyclone.

Mr.. Williams, who lives across the
/umbro on the rise beyond the Cole Mill,
was out when the cyclone first reared its
front in the Southwest and saw it coming.
To little boy who was with him, but
whose name he does not know, he said :
That's cyclone, sonny. You come
into this hazel brush with me- Catch on
to The roots and hang on for dear life. ;"
He had never heard the word or knew
nothing Of its purport, and instead Of
obeying instructions sought refuge in "A
hen coop near by. The man watched
the three clouds join, saw the work Of
destruction commence in the Southwest
and then ran into the hazel copse. lie

lay down face to earth and with the
crown of bis head against fence post

senses through the storm, but with diff

and then, as he expresses it, "the dcrn
thing commenced its monkey work in

far-oif clubhouse were blown Oh top Of
him. Then his body was torn from the
earth and his hold broken. while he and

have been there afforded, az he escaped
without serious injury, though his
abraided face nnd swollen hands attest
the truth of his story Of the struggle.
When the storm had passed sufficiently
to allow Of his walking he started in

SIX.SHOOTER JACK.
Additional Light Thrown Upon The
Manner OF his Death.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs:-
al. Theriot, one Of the party in the
capture of Six-shooter Jack, has been
circulating a report around that Jack
and his companio were not awak.
ened in the camp at II until after the
shooting was done. Major Mensch
and all the other members of the
party pronounce the report an un
mitigated lie; that the men were
awakened and jumped from the bed,
and that Jack raised and then fell
back, grabbed his revolver and threw
his gun up and fired.
Furthermore, the credit, if there is
any in the killing Of Six-shooter Jack
belongs to man in HALEY.
Warield would have shared the
same fate with Jack had he not thrown
himself fiat upon his bed. as the ball
from Winchester rife struck the
ground about six feet beyond him.
ONE OF THE PARTY.
