DON'T Do IT AGAIN.

Anomalous as it may seem, nothing
brings SO much misery as our own mis-
doings. This is especially true in bust
ness life. With the consequences star
ing us in the face we deliberately break
over the rule Of safety, to regret our
insanity when it is too late. Whatever
the uses intended in borrowing money,
the giving of notes means payment,
sooner or later. There is scarcely man
in middle life who has not had valuable
experience in this line; yet in the face of
this he repeats the folly, even for the
bare prospect of gain. He weaves the
web with his own hand, then chafes at
his inability to extricate himself.
There is much discomfort just now
from these causes. These who took
desperate chances during the speculative
period, having failed in their plans are
prone to locate the responsibility some
where-anywhere-save where it be-
longs. The tariff, the Sherman law, the
manipulators of gold and the influence
of England over our financial system
each come in for q share of abuse, when,
in fact-the simple signing of note and
mortgage is the sole difficulty. When
we consider that such obliga-
tons are made, not to supply
our needs, but for speculation only
taking chances with money not our
own-it is little wonder that disappoint-
ment and remorse prey upon us. If We
would but take these lessons at their
real value and profit by the experience,
the end might justify the sorrowful
but alas. the burnt child exists
only in fable. 1t is not the credit sys-
tenn, but the abuse of it, that has wreck
ed more fortunes than all other agencies
combined. Money may be borrowed
FOR legitimate purposes and repaid
with profit to both lender and |
borrower, but speculative ventures
ale not classified in the list /
which warrants the use of money which !
is owned by some one else. These re-
Elections are in no wise helpful to those |
who are financially embarrassed, further |
han to emphasize cur earnest injunction
don't do it again.

WHEN BABY COMES TO STAY.

Babies are sweet rs everyone knows,
From their busy little heads to their dmpled
pink toes,
And they have such cute winsome little way,
That wonder more do not come to stay.
They make music and sunshine all the live
long day;
They are merry and have so much to say,
And Autumn winds chime tuneful as in May
When round the baby's little cot they stray.
They keep the heart from growing selfish and
cold
And domestic clouds are all Urged with gold,
And the buds and flowers each seem TO say,
We're SO glad baby has come to stay,
o. It's just the thing to drive away the blues
To hear the patter of their tiny little shoes,
And the weary hearted grow joyous and gay,
If FOR an hour with the baby they play.
And woman's heart will keep pure and sweet
Because OF the clinging hand ard Wee tod
ding feet.
And when by the little bed she kneels to pray.
She will thank God Il at baby came to stay.
