TOO MUCH SALARY.
How 1t Was q Positive Disadvantage to q
Hard-Working Clerk.

How 1t Was q Positive Disadvantage to q
Hard-Working Clerk.
The salary of a clerk is at once a
curse and blessing. according as he
uses it. If he spends every cent of it,
knowing he is going to have just so
much to spend, it is a curse; but if he
guides his expenditures so that he
shall save so much every year, then it
is blessing for him, for it enables him
to regulate his wants. There are men,
men of mature years, men of families,
who look upon a salary as figure that
they are expected to spend yearly; an
increase of salary means an increase
in expenditure, and though it would
seem an easy matter to cut off some of
the extras should the salary grow
smaller, in reality it is by no means
easy. When one has INDUCED in lux
ury long enough he begins to consider
it necessity.
l knew a man who, on salary of
nine hundred dollars year, raised a
family and bought and paid for COM
Portable little home. A change in the
firm he was with benefited him by an
increase in salary, and eventually it
reached the sum of fifteen hundred
dollars year. One would think that
if he had been able to live on nine
hundred dollars he ought to save a
snug sum yearly on fifteen hundred
dollars; but he did nothing of the kind;
The increased salary enabled him to
get horse, his wife more expensive
bonnets, and his daughter a piano and
music teacher, and the truth was he
found it harder work to make both
ends meet than he had in the old days
And when his affairs were probated
last spring his entire property consist
ed of house and lot he had paid for
when he was working for nine hundred
dollars year.-Hardware

The murderer. as soon as he saw the shot
