His success in this respect however, not
equal to his hopes. and after couple of years
he went to Philadelphia TO open mp a career for
himself he wss at this time laboring under
considerable difficulties; he was without friends
or infuence-in short. he had nothing to look to
for success save his own ability and industry and
the fund or information with which he had taken
care to be supplied One of his strongest points
has always been his perfect familiarity with the

his first decided step in his profession. Shortly
after going TO Philadelphia he began a course of
lectures at the Philadelphia School of Anatomy
He main tanned his connection with this institu-

business community has followed the
example of the national banks, which
began hedging last July. The mer-
chants are not stocking up so largely

their bills. When 1 find a man who

examine his discount book, and it is
invariably granted. In this manner 1

of hard times comes frome those whole

absurd it is, if you want to know some
thing of Kansas, to go to credit man

He has never been over the ground,

cessful or it may not, but because it
has not done great business equal to
past years is that any positive evidence
of hard times? And even if a business
man with poor methods and worse
ideas has failed utterly in that state, is
that saying that numbers are not sue

their best there are merchants who are
at low ebb. That occurs in the most

ONLY a Printer,s Dream.

A printer sat in his Office chair, his
boots were patched, and his coat
threadbare, and his face looked weary
and worn with care. While thinking
sadly of business debt, old Morpheus
slowly around him crept, and before
he knew it he soundly slept; and sleep
ing he dreamed that he was dead, and
from trouble and toll his spirit had fled,
and, not even cowbell tolled, for the
peaceable rest Of the cowhide sole.
And as he wandered among the shades,
that smoke and scorch in lower Hades,
he shortly observed an iron door, that
creakingly hung on hinges ajar, but
the entrance WAS closed with IA red hot
out, waiting for travellers there-about,
and thus TO the passing printer spoke:
"Come in, my dear; it shall cost you
nothing and never fear; this is the
place where L cook the ones, who new
er pay their subscription sums; for
though in life they may escape, they'll
/ find when they're dead it is not too
late, Will show you the place where L
melt them thin, with red hot chains
and scraps of tin, and also where l
comb their heads with broken glass
and melted lead; and if of refreshments
they only think, there's boiling water
for them to drink; the red hot grind
stone to GRIND their nose, and the red
hot rings to wear on their toes, and if
they mention they don't like fire, I'll
sew up their mouths with red hot wire;
and then, dear sir, you'll see them
squirm, while roll them over and cool
to turn
With these last words the printer
awoke, and thought it all a practical
joke; but still at times so real did it
seem, that he cannot believe that it was
dream, and often he thinks with a
chuckle and grin, of the fate of those
who save their tin, and never pay the
printer.
