DON'T CUT THE STRINoi

The Habit Of Waste In Little Things .
Drawback to Ones Value and Useful
ness.
Said one OF the most successful
merchants of Cleveland, o., q day or
two since, to lad who was opening
parcel: young man, unite these
strings-don't cut them!' 1t wasn't
the first remark he had made to a new
employe. 1t was the first lesson for
the lad to learn, and involved prin-
ciples of success or failure in his busi-
ness career. Pointing to well-dressed
man behind the counter, he said:
"There is q man who whips out his
scissors and cuts the strings Of the
package in three or four places. He is
q good salesman, but will never be
anything more. l presume he lives
from hand to mouth and very likely il
more or less in debt. The trouble with
him is that he was never taught to
save. told the boy just now to unite
the string instead Of cutting it, not so
much for the value of the string as to
teach him that everything must be
saved and nothing wasted. II the idea
can be firmly impressed upon the mind
at beginning in life that nothing was
made to be wasted, you have laid the
foundation of success.
The moral Of this little incident is
self-evident. A young man well
brought up, with fair education,
seeks employment in business house.
The habit of waste in little things is
noticeable, and becomes drawback on
his value and usefulness to his employ
or. The disregard Of saving strings
and paper develops into carelessness
that runs through all his habits. He
does not get on in the world because
he is wasteful. Small sums slip
through his fingers almost uncon-
sciously because they are small. He
wastes time by the minute, without a
thought of the old adage: "Take care
| of the minutes and the hours will take
| care of themselves.
Sitting in the cOunting-room of one
of Cleveland's oldest and most sue.
cessful merchants of the day we noticed
that he cut off the blank sheets of the
letters he was engaged in filing. The
name of this man is synonym o.
character and benevolence, and his
liberality in all good works is almos,
unbounded. His attention being
called to what seemed to be an unu
sual proceeding, he said: Eyes, il
may strike you as singular thing tt
save these half sheet Of paper, but
commenced life as boy in country
store, and this was one of the first les
sons in saving little things that was
taught me by my employer. He has
been nearly half century under thu
sod but l never do this without thinking
Of the good old man. l believe it wa
the cause of my success in life"
This saving Of little things does no
imply stinginess or meanness. 1t Il
simply the habit of saving instead o
wasting. 1t is embodied in the motto
Waste not, want not" Therefor
we do say: Don't cut the string

Public education requires no such pro-

system is that tho people tax them

The state las nothing Whatever to do
with the matter, except to act as the
agent for The assessment and collection

pays his proport:onste share. If there
are ten or ten thousand children in
Alaska requiring education, nobody
