1t is no Use trying to defend the
existence Of the man who doeSnOth.
ing, either with hand or brain, for
his fellow creatures. He is para
site, an anomaly and a nuisance.
Carlyle plophesied many years ago
that the day would come hen there
would be no room for him in
Gods earth and when the
human race would agree that
the man who does not live by
industry lives 10y stealing. The
Apostle Paul went even further
than Mr.. Gladstone or Carlyle, and
declared that the man who will not
work should not bp allowed to eat.
No one has vet vcntured to 90 so
far as the Apostle Paul. The great
est possible calamity that can be-
fall any man is to have nothing to
do. The quaint saying of old DR..
Watts, "Satan finds some mischief
still for idle hands to do" is true.
The idle are SO degraded that they
sink even to the vulgar stupidity of
gambling. No man has any light

are covered with something resemb-

when the seeds are thrown in:O

How TO kilI Potato bugs.

The experiment has so often been
tried, and SO many fortunes have
been accumulated by it, that no
body asks now, "DOes advertising
pay = The Chicago Tribune gives
a striking Illustration of the tact
that it does pay.
A smart Chicago man, who want
cd to make a fortune in Il hurry,
put this notice in the columns OF
the Tribune:
.'Sure way to kill potato bugs;
send twenty 9 cent stamps to L Y
u for n recipe that cannot
fail"
Then he hired a dray to bring his
mail from the Office aud had 10000
of his recipes printed. Inside OF
two weeks something like 5000 OF
1000 farmers had contributed TWEEN
ty 9 cent stamps each for the print.
ed recipes.
Then several hundred of them
bought clubs and railroad tickets
and started out to interview the adj
vrrtiser. Athis office they were in.
formed that he had left to attend 10
some business in Europe, and he
was not expected back. All he had
left was IA package OF 5000 or 1000
slips ofpaper, on which was printed
the following:
"Put your bugon a shinglr. Then
hit it with another shingle.'
The moral is that if you have
something that people want or eau
be induced to buy, it will pay you
to advertise. The return in this case
was something like $500 for about
thirty cents. OF course the rascal
ought to have been put in Jail. But
think what a splendid thing he
would have had if he had really
possessed the kind o ircipe the far
mers believed they were pa, ing for.
