entire. 1t is as follows:

Total So, o63, $3.50 s2s,9sl, 1903 OF
From this it appears that the ex-
penditures exceeded the receipts last
month by s5,12O,794, whereas in
January, 1891, the receipts exceed
ed the expenditures by $13,O74, 1854.
The difference against the Treasury
last month, as compared with the
same month last year, exceeds $751;
100000. 1t is noticeable that, while
the above statement shows a deficit
of over 100000 for the month,
the debt statement indicates a deficit
of only about $I,2OO,oeO' This
discrepancy results from book>keep-
methods. The actual expenditures
of 1st month were largely met prob
ably, out of the disbursing officers
balances of the previous month, and
these balances last month were kept
down to make the debt statement
look as favorable as possible. The
above statement shows the facts as
they were.
1t is not cheerful statement. We
are not necessarily to conclude, how
ever, that the exhibits for the re-
naming months of the year will be
equally bad. No considerable in
crease in receipts is to be expected,
but we may look for some decrease
in the expenditures, especially on ac-
count Of interest. The January in
terest was a much heavier charge
than the Treasury will have to meet
on the same account in any month
before July. Possibly, too, the pen
sion charge may be somewhat less,
though the January payments wer-
below the monthly average of the
appropriation for the year. But, on
the other hand, the payments on ac~
count of shipping and sugar boun-
ties are likely to be greater in some
months yet to come. On the whole,
therefore, Assistant Secretar,
Spaulding's estimate of surplus of
$24,0OO,o0O for the fiscal year is
likely to prove excessive, to say the
least. In fact, there is an excelle mt
prospect of a deficit instead of sur
plus when the accounts for the year
come to be balanced"

from whip or driver could get him
to bulge, and even though the SER

refused to draw. OF course, for the
time being, all traffic was suspend

the unfortunate disposition of that
particular horse. l am glad to add

incident set me to thinking.
have known boys like that
horse. They began their remarka-
bic career in the school-room by re-
fusing to be taught or have Others
about them instructed. And, though
the teachers eye was constantly
upon them, it seemed to make little
difference, they pursued their own
way and kept everybody near them
back. One balky boy is capable o

the world on in it's work than was
that balky horse of which / spoke.
And that is not the worst, for he
shifts his responsibilities very often

quenees. They are the balky hor-
ses OF society.
Boys, II you want to be respected
and to succeed in life, be willing to
WORK to work hard, and with an
honest endeavor to do to the best Of
your ability. Put your shoulder to
the wheel to help both Yourself and
others. Work-unless you have in
herited wealth--is the only way by
which you can obtain an honest liv-
ing. Therefore don't rest satisfied
to pick up any job that offers, but
engage in legitimate business that,
should your acquaintance ask what
it is, your friends may be able to
tell them. Take up the special
line you find you are best adapted
to, and 60 at IT with a will. And
with the favor Of God resting upon
you, you are sure te succeed. -

THE SUBSTITUTE.

In the railway depot of a busy,
bustling town in the southern part
Of Ohio locomotive stood painting
and snorting as if impatient to speed
away on its journey.
The fireman was giving his last
touch to the brightly polished brass
work, while the engineer and the
district superintendent stood upon
the platform beside the cab.
Another train had just drawn into
the station and its passengers were
emerging from the cars and hurry
ing away. Some of them overheard
a portion Of the conversation that
was taking place between the two
men as they passed, and one, mid
die aged, well-dressed individual,
seemed greatly impressed with the
few words that fell upon his ear,
for he walked only short distance
before he paused, as if DESTROYS Of
hearing more.
There is no use talking, Baxter,
you have got to make the run to-
night" the listener heard the su-
perintendent say in a voice that was
by no means pleasant. eft makes
no difference to me or to the stock
holders OF this road what trouble
You may have at home. Your
place is on this engine. and there
you must remain or quit the service
of the company altogether"
"But, sir" replied the driver. in
pleading tone, edo you under
stand, my wife is very ill-perhaps
dying-and there is no one with her
but our two little children and q
kind neighbor, who can not spend
the whole night by her side"
''Do not tell you there is no
one about at the present time whom
can put in your place ?" returned
the official.
"There is Sturgis," suggested
the other. He is here in the depot
at this moment"
"What, that miserable inebriate?
He'll never run train another
mile on this road"
"But, sir, he has not drank a
drop for two months"
"That ia neither here nor there.
He is not qualified to take your
place, not even for single trip"
cit is hard, very hard" muir
INJURED the engineer as he turned
away, and was about to mount his
seat in the cab when the stranger,
who had loitered near, stepped up,
saying
IL beg your pardon, gentlemen.
Did / not hear you say that you
wanted to secure the services Of an
