ITS LESSON.

From the hard times people will reap
lessons Of experience, learning how to act
with more care in business and how to APP
ply remedies for the stringency of such
times. With more care we will have less
accidents, and much less suffering If we
know the true remedy. In the held and
workshop. indeed in all activities. sprains
and bruises happen and bring the hard
times of pain and suffering. Experience
teaches that il Is always best to get the
best remedy, which is the cheapest in the
end. Experience points 70 st. Jacobs Oil

STORIES OF JOWETT.
Che Manner In Which little benjamin"
Treated His Pupils.

The many stories that are told of Ben
Iamin Jowett, the late master of Balliol
college, Oxford, show n strongly marked
individuality, one calculated to make many
friends. He was declared, indeed, to be
the only man living who could maintain
close friendship with 30 people at once, but
IN his early days at least his manner to
pupils repealed rather than attracted, while
10 shy men he was positively alarming.
II remember one OCCASION" an under
graduate of that day relates, ION which he
Invited me to take q walk with him. The
number of words exchanged between us
was incredibly small, and believe that 1t
was a relief to both when we regained the
college gate"
His long silences were felt as an awk-
ward bar to conversation, and to interrupt
this silence by starting fresh topic was
often to provoke snub. As he never made
an unmeaning remark himself, he was i'm
patient of empty speech from others.
Once friend was accompanying him
on a long walk. Arriving at Tewkesbury,
the quaint old world town seemed asleep
In the summer sunshine, and his oompan-
lon rashly ventured to say:
II believe that there are more dogs than
people in the streets this morning"
Jowett instantly awoke from his reverie
and replied, "If you have nothing more
sensible to observe, you had better be silent
altogether.
Another thing which hampered his in
Innate association with younger men was
his fastidious taste in the use of language,
particularly evidenced in his adherence of
slang, which undergraduates thought a
piece of donnishness. With one Of his child
friends In the country he took singular
way of enforcing this lesson. He insisted
on giving her a shilling every time she
used the word "awfully," and so shamed

NEVER PAY CASH,

Advice of a Business Man Who Believes
In Buying on Credit.
"Never pay cash for anything If you
want to get commercial rating" said a
business man the other day Get goods
on credit, even when able to pay spot cash
for them, and pay the bill with prompt
ness when it becomes due. If you do this
long enough, you will probably get the
reputation of possessing all the money you
have got trusted for, and, at any rate, will
be known in business circles where you
wouldn't BIO named if you always paid
cash. A man who pays cash for every
thing Is supposed to be doing business on
small capital, while man who gets
things on credit, or, what Is better still,
pays for them in notes, is generally be-
lieved to be operating on such largo
scale that he has no ready money to spare
for small deals.
GAS for getting credit, it Is the first step
that costs, of course, but man can begin
by referring people to his landlord and the
tradesmen with whom he deals if he can
do no better. If he has no accounts any
where, he must set about having them.
Get trust for small amounts and you will
In time get trusted for larger ones. The
first requisite to wealth is not money, but
credit. Get credit and you will do bust
ness amounting to an indefinite number
Of times your capital.
without dilating further on the ad-
yantages of credit, let me give you an A.
Illustration of the disadvantages Of doing
business on cash basis. A country mer-
chant l knew who had always paid cash
for everything he bought, and did a COR
respondingly small business, determined
finally to enlarge his trade, and to do this
required the credit he had never before
asked for When lie came to town and
asked the men to whom he had always
paid cash to let him have goods on time,
they one and all became suspicious of him
and refused. The very fact that he had
always paid cash made them think, when
he finally asked for credit, that he wasn't
safe man to trust. Moral Never pay
cash for anything if you would avoid sus-
picion. New York sun.

THE journeyman plumbers OF Chicago
will go on strike January 1, and the fight
between them and the master plumbers
promises to be long and bitter. This years.
contract provides that no helpers or appren-
tees be employed, thus giving employment
to more plumbers and tending to reduce
the future number, thus raising wages.
The journrymen demand that on January
i the master plumbers sign q five years
contract to the same effect. The masters
not only refuse to do this but declare that
hereafter they will employ all the helpers
they want. Both sides are preparing for
the struggle.
