Pay Your Small Bills Promptly,
I Baltimore Sun.

sOuli.
TO "pay as you go" is always best,
some persons occasionally are COM
PEELED by circumstances to ask for credit.
1t is wise to pay bills at short in
tervals for many reasons. The cred
itor may have a great number of small
bills outstanding and may be seriously
embarrassed by their non-payment.
The longer bill remains unpaid the
harder 1t Is to pay.
To the man in receipt of an income
which is no more than necessary ex-
penses require it may be easy to pay
a small bill, but if he allows it to go
unpaid other bills may be added to
it and the aggregate will be serious
burden.
A fails to pay what he owes to B,
and the latter is thereby unable to pay
the debt he owes to 6. and so on.
By prompt payments small sum of
money can be made to cancel large
sum of Indebtedness. A ten dollar
bill, by passing from hand to hand !,
probably often pays debts amounting
to a hundred dollars inside a week.
The most frequent excuse heard for
the non payment of bills by persons
who are asked to make payment is
they can collect no money. In most
instances this excuse is probably an
honest one, and little reflection will
convince any man of the wisdom of
thus keeping money in circulation.

Big Trees.

Near TOcoma, Washington, there is u
cedar stump Oh which a crowd Of ~ peo-
pie stood and sat while a photograph
was being taken of them. 1t was 80
large that a cottage could have been
built upon it, and the height of the tree
before it was cut was 300 feet. From "A
tree cut the other day six big saw logs
were taken. each 80 feet long and the
tree was five feet in diameter at the base,
and it's first branch started out 40 feet
above the ground. A farmer not far
from Tocoma lived in hollow cedar
tree while clearing his hon-stead. The
cavity was % feet in diameter, or as big
as a large parlor. His ceiling WIS 40
feet above the ground, and knot hole
just below this formed his chimney He
put in floor eight feet above the earth,
and on this he built a stone fire place
with a stick and clay chimney. Under
the floor he kept his horse and COW, and
he lived on the second story OF the tree
hole.

BRAINLESS, BONELESS
YOUNG MEN.

And you are one of them. How do
we know it.? Why, by the way you
work in Christ's vineyard. Real men
would never crawl out of service and
away from duty like you have done
and are doing now. Men with moral
backbones like black diamond steel
stand to their work irrespective of
what others do or say. Long past
noon. yes, long past sunset, they are
found where the sheaves lay waiting
for the harvestment. Your field has
ripensd over and over again, and the
harvest is yet ungathered. Tell me
would men, real true blue mon, mon
with brains, men with grit, permit
such to happen? Never, never, never l
You call yourself Christian man
Well, to call dirt gold may do for fools
and fun, but not for men. To call one
Christian, or to be CALLED Christian
doesn't make one such. Think a
minute. Do you believe that Christ
Jesus who went about doing good, calls
you one of his servants? Where is
the evidence Of it? To know to do
good and not doing it is sin, as wilful,
as black and damning as murder or
arson. Look at the good any young
man can do in the Christian Associa-
tions to-day. Why never in all the
God-given hours of time did the call
come so long and loud and clear as
now, when absolutely thousands upon
thousands of unsaved young men are
thronging the rooms of the Associations
of our land. They meet the Christian
on common vantage ground. They
meet us half way. They willingly
and of their own free choice put them
selves where men of brain and heart,
men of grace and gumption, where
men OF Christ may speak of the 'good
news Heaven sent to them for
salvation. If you have brains you will
not wait for secretary or committee,
but will go to the work at once :;
nothing will, for nothing can, hinder
you. If you are Christian man, a
man with soul purpose, a man made
like unto Christ, if you are such, you
will either work or die.
QUESTIONS
Are you not hypocrite
What kind of man are you!
What good have you ever doneS
Is your name mentioned in Heaven
Is not Matthew xiii your chapter
What work are you now doing for
Christ &C. II. IatmQn.

An Amendment To tho Consultation.

The voters will on November not only
be called upon to elect congressman, SUI

and county officers. but to vote on an
amendment to the constitution. IL Is pro-
posed TO amend section S of article XVI.
by adding school district bonds 10 the list
of securities in which the permanent
school fund may be invested. The SUI
prene court has already held that the
words municipal bonds in the original
article. in fact, apply TO and include school
district bonds. holding that a school dis
triet is a municipal corporation TO that
extent. As a matter of fact, therefore, the
adoption OF rejection of the proposed
amendment will have no effect. except to
remove all shadow of doubt, as the ques-
ton it was intended TO settle has already
been decided.
