What Know About Hardware and
Hard Times.

The cause of hard times is not short
crops, floods nor drouths, low price of
cotton nor scarcity OF money. 1t is
the habit of the people to live beyond
their income, or in the language Of
political economy, consumption is
ahead of production. Ifthe man who
earns $4,000 per month and lives
comfortably on same, is advanced to
$4,000 per month, will he save his
increase? Very seldom. He will at
once increase his cost of living. But
if the $4,000 man is reduced to
$4,000, he will go in debt as long as
he has credit, before he will reduce
his cost of living. Laborers who
earn $4,000 per month spend $50
90 Those who earn 800. spend
$3.50. Farmers spend their crops be-
fore there is seed in the ground.
Merchants whose income is $1,000 a
year manage to live on $500. Cities
whose income is 100000 spend
100000. Railroad Co.'S, who earn
million a year, spend two million
No one seems to look out for the
"rainy day" which is sure to come
sooner or later. These deficits be-
tween earnings and expenses) which
appear from the lowest to the highest
strata of society, accumulate until
credit is stretched to the highest ten
sion. A panic is the result, This is
the only remedy, for nothing short
of absolute necessity will teach the
average citizen to live within his in

L eSSy went upstairs 10 pun over
some old trunks Of her own moth

able to wear to the ball. She came
across a beautiful white brocade
with tiny pink rosebuds embroid-

wish the somebody's grandfather

ed gown up into a bundle, Peggy
sauntered down to the village dress
maker, and, after leaving there, de
cided she'drun in and see if Widow
fuckers boy was recovering from
slow fever.
Tt was a poor little cottage into
which Peggy wendell her way, and
the widow herself looked half-fed.
Il don't believe you've had any
dinner to-day" thought Peggy,
" and as you're too proud to ask for
it, I'll have to plan"
"Why don't you take a walk while

she said aloud. "And, by the way,
if you're going by my house just
step in and get my cape and tell
Hannah to give you your dinner.
1t will save you cooking here"
The widow gladly went, and Peg
gy amused herself and jamie in
venting stories. While in the mid

held Howarth Oyeralle standing in
the doorway with look of rapt adj

DO you come here often?" was
his first remark.
Never" she replied, while ia
mics eyes dilated to such an extent
one would know she was not telling
the truth.
"What are you here for?" he
asked.
"My laundry" was the brief re-
ply.
He saw her home through the
twilight, and Peggy, after thattool
more interest than everin her gown
for the third.

Jack Leslie for Peggy, and when

as bright and saucy. Certainly no
younggirlof eighteen had had more

them and still keep them at her feet.
Now, Peggy had a stepmother
and no father, and, like the tradi-

to live with. Perhaps Peggy her.
self was a little to blame, for she
strongly objected being dictated to,
even when, as Mrs. Hildrethinform-
ed her, cit was only for her own
good" but as it was only the week
before she had been heard tosay she
"should be glad when that witch
was well-married and out Of the
house" we can hardly blame Peggy
for not having unquestioned faith
in Mrs. Hildreth's desire for her
good.
One afternoon, when these two
had had few words Of anything
but an amiable nature, the servant
announced caller for Miss Peggy.
Mr.. Jack Leslie, Of the Seventh
Regiment, it appeared from the
card, and Peggy fastened to meet
him, looking, with her sparkling
blue eyes and golden curls, gowned
in a short-waisted white muslin, tied
up under the arms with broad
sash, like an animated Kate Green
away picture.
Cob, Jack, I'm SO glad you've
come! Mrs. H. and | have been
having it again, although l came

you quarreling over this time?"
" Well, I'll tell you. [ called that

is distantly connected to Mrs. H.,

the matter to some length, and then
she told me to prove my statement
or take it back. [ said l could, and
that she would agree with me if
she only had heard him propose

Peggy stood up at an angle of forty
five degrees and toyed with an i'm
aginary eye-glass. 'Weally, Miss
Hildweth, you weally must do me
theau- extreme kindness of accept
ing my name and my estates,
donchyerknow,' and after that she
gave in"
And Peggy took two waltz turns
and then sank into an easy chair
and said
"Now, Jack, letshaveit. Iknow
you've brought some good news by
the disagreeable way in which the
lines in your forehead run"
