QUEER SYSTEM OF BOOKKEEPING.

NulCdBO OOuFudl.
A little man who runs a prosper
Gus drug store on Cottage Grove
avenue has a system of bookkeeping
that is probably without duplicate
from one end of the city to the 9TH
er. His distinguishing trait is an
inability to remember names. He
has score Of customers whom he
has traded with for years, and whom
he knows by sight as well as he
does his own brother, but whose
names he could not call off to save
himself from hanging. The conse-
quences is that when three or four
of these customers have called in
one evening and have made small
purchases which they wished chalk
ed up, his little book contains en-
tries something like this: ''Man
with the Black Whiskers, cigars,

worth of Jamaica Ginger" and so
on. This is the only set Of book
keeping that the little drug store
man INDUCES in, and he says his
creditors are good and never lets
him lose money by it. But it would
be interesting to know how he'd adj
dress his envelopes if any of his
debtors let their accounts run long
enough to necessitate the sending
out of bills.

DUTY Is IRKsoME.

Duty is irksome to all who fail
to recognize q privilege in its dis
charge. The greatest servitude
known is that which grows out OF
distaste and disinclination to do
what our circumstances require,
truthfully says the Albany News
and Advertiser. A slave can be
happy when he finds pleasure in
work, but freeman is often misera-
bic when he makes taskmaster of
duty and himself its conscious slave.
We should all remember that pleas
ure can be extracted from any con-
dition, and that our environments
have not so much to do with our
c0ntentment as our subjective state.
The bird which beats against the
bars OF its prison cage to the end of
wounding its feeble wings and ach-
ing head, is fair illustration of
many who chafe under, and openly
rebel against, the circumstances of
their lives, and dispense gloom with
their complaints instead Of shedding
JOY and sunshine. like a marry warb
Ter. One Of the duties of life is to
be happy and contented. There is
no more binding obligation upon
him who has full sense of his duty
to society than cheerfulness. 1t is
one of the cardinal virtues, and is
enforced by due regard for the
happiness of those around. No
where is cheeriulness of more mo-
ment than in the home circle, where
the plastic minds and hearts of chill
dren are receiving daily impressions
that are indellible, and where the
gloom or gladness in which they
grow intensity the shadows or lights
that enter into their characters.
Many parents wonder why their
children seem sour and sad, and
forget that in the days when the
light of joyous home would have
given coloring to their dispositions
in their formative stage, that unhal
Ply conditions shaded deeply the ten
der nature developed under their
influence. Oh that parents would
understand the repressive tenden-
cies of hymn influences Children,
like satellites, are thrown off from
the home circle and are governed
and propelled by the same forces
that controlled the larger body.
Thus the influences of every home
circle are widened. Parents, through
their influence, are building tenn
pies of human hearts and forming
the character of their children for
all time to come. Home is what we
make it. 1t can be lighted by a
bright sunny character or darkened
by gloomy, sullen disposition.
