TOO SMART.

A man down in Colerain town
ship, Pa, lost his pension a short
time ago in a way that he thought
for time was rather mysterious
but he now understands that he
"talked himself out of it."
Three or four years ago he was al
lowed pension for total disability,
and he received the sum of $500,
which he claimed to be due him.
After that he received S14 a month.
About two months ago the pensioner,
who makes posts and rails and sets
fences, was at work near his home
when we'll dressed and pleasant
looking stranger came by and en-
gagged him in conversation. AS the
pensioner hewed the posts, the new
conner began talking about that kind
OF work and asked him how much
ne could do IN a week. The pen
sioner, who is inclined to brag a
good deal about himself, said that
''he could make more posts and set
more fence in day than any other
man in the neighborhood." The
stranger soon went away, and since
that time the countryman has not
received pension. He has since
learned that the stranger was a de-
tective, in the employ of the Govern
ment, who had been sent there tc
find out whether he was as badly
disabled as he claimed to be.

PAY PROMPTLY.

To pay ones honest debt prompt
ly, when due, is an obligation that is
too frequently disregarded. To es-
innate the serious inconvenience
and often loss caused by this failure
to meet promptly ones obligations
would indeed be a different task;
however, it is easy to see how fail
ure to pay ones debts, when due,
may involve a creditor in ruin.
This failure to faithfully keep a
promise to pay, is not always, nor
by any means the result of an IN
ability to fulfill the promise; but is
rather the result of habit of de-
terring the performance of it until
some more convenient season. It,
however, cannot be said that fail
ure to pay debt, when promised,
is always the result of a dishonest
motive for there are times when mis-
fortune SO crosses ones pathway as
to hinder, for a time at least, the
performance Of the promise. Still
IN some instances, it may be said to
smack somewhat of dishonesty, for
If one has in his possession the
means with which to pay a debt,
that is due and uses it for another
purpose, thereby to benefit himself,
is it not equivalent to using, for his
OWL worldly profit, that which right
fully belongs to another :?
The stability of the commercial
world is largely dependent upon the
faithful performance of ones con-
tract.
A man. should never make a
promise to pay unless he is reason.
ably certain of a prompt compliance
with its tenn; and having made it,
all diligence should be exercised in
the performance gifts stipulations.-

GAINING STRENGTH.

From the Madison Madisonian.1
We are pleased to learn that the
candidacy of Hon. R. T. Nesbit, of
Cobb county, for Commissioner of
Agriculture is progressing finely.
Mr.. Nesbitt has some of the most
influential men il the State enlisted
in his cause, and as soon as the ho)i-
days are over they propose "shuck-
ing" their coats with will and 60
ing to work in the deadest kind Of
earnestness-a mortuary determine
ton that will bear fruit in the con-
vention.
As We have remarked before every
farmer and Allianceman throughout
the State should make it a point to
hely Bob Nesbitt to the utmost of
his ability in this race, for in him
they have candidate belonging to
the brotherhood, one who has rever
made his living other wise than from
the soil, member of the clan of
whom the poet sings when he says !:
'Oh, he's the gentles' gentleman
You'll find in many a mile,
Who tickles on the breast of earth
Until he makes her smile"

The following story of monkeys
beroism is told by an Indian paper
"a large ourang- outang was very
much attached to his master and to
the baby boy, who was the pet of the
whole family. One day a fire sud-
denly broke out in the house, and
everybody was running here and
there to put it out, while the little
boy in his nursery was almost for
gotten, and when they thought of
him the staircase was all in flames.
What could be done AS they were
looking up and wondering, large
hairy hand and arm opened the
window, and presently the mon
key appeared with the baby in
arms, and carefully climbed down
over the porch, and brought the
child safely to his nurse. Nobody
else could have have done it, for a
man cannot climb like monkey,
and is not nearly so strong. You
may imagine how the faithful crea-
ture was praised and petted after
that. This is a tue story, and the
child who was saved was the young
Marquis of Kildare"

The Toledo, O., bank official who
was sentenced to FIVE years in the
penitentiary for stealing $4,000 OF
the banks money congratulates
himself, no doubt, that he hit upon
an easy way of making a fortune.
1t is not probable that he will fare
very badly in prison and his wife
has assured him that she will be
waiting for him when he comes
home In the meantime, under bis
direction, she will invest the $4,000
so that he won't be tempted to steal
any more.

Fertilizing material is now pro-
cured from iron. In the manu-
facture of bessemer steel a light
basic Stag, known as Thomas Stag, is
the result, which is reduced to an
impalpable powder and sold to farm
ers, as it contains a large proper
ton of phosphoric acid. Those who
are familiar with the merits of the
Stag estimate that it contains u per

THE MANIA FOR CHEApNEss.

The desire to get everything as
cheap as possible is characteristic of
many of our countrymen. 1t is GER
tainly wrong to be extravagant, and
it is necessary to use due diligence
to avoid being cheated. But to
spend valuable time higgling over a
penny, and to become biased in favor
of an article merely by the element
OF cheapness, is evidence of great
weakness. Not the poor only, but
many rich people have fallen into
this error. We hear an unreason-
ing demand for cheap teachers,
cheap preachers, cheap newspapers
and cheap books from many quar-
tiers.
To use due diligence to procure
needtul supplies at fair price is a
duty; but to forget that beyond a
certain limit cheapness is to be dis
carded is not wise. The inconsist-
emit spectacle is often witnessed of
men, who demand fair prices for
their own wares, seeking to procure
what they need from others at ruin
ously low figures.
There are three ways in which one
may undersell those who carry on an
honest business. He may sell SO
low that he cannot live, wind up his
establishment, and leave his credi-
tors to carry his losses. This is dis
honest. He may also Cypress the
toilers in his factory by giving them
starvation wages in order that he
may sell at unreasonably low prices.
This is worse than dishonest.
There is third way. He may palm
off inferior articles on his customers
and persuade them that they are
genuine. This is the most common
method. Such enterprises ought not
to be patronized by honest men.
He is public benefactor who con-
ducts an honest trade, and considers
integrity more valuable than wealth;
and he is wise who cheerfully pays
the full value Of every purchase,
knowing that manhood is worth
more than money.-Christian Ad-
Vocate.
