NEVER PAY CASH.
Advice of "A Business Man Who Be
Ifeves I'm Buying on Credit.

Advice of n Business Man Who Be
Ifeves 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 20 pay
spot cash for them. and pay the bill
with promptness when it becomes due.
If you do this long enough you will
probably get the reputation of possess
ing all the money you have got trusted
for, and. at any rate, will be known in
business circles where you wouldn't be
named If you always paid cash. A man
who pays cash for everything is sup
posed to be doing business on small cap
ital. while a man who gets things on
credit, or. what is better still, pays for
them in notes. is generally believed to
be operating on such a large scale that
he has no ready money TO spare for
small deals.
"As 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 anywhere 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 num-
Der of times your capital.
without dilating further on the adj
vantages of credit. let me give you an
illustration of the disadvantages of do
ing business on a cash basis. A coun-
try merchant knew who had always
paid cash for everything he bought
land did correspondingly small bust
ness) determined finally TO enlarge his
trade, and to do this required the credit
he had never before asked for WheD
he 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 re-
fused. The very fact that he had al
ways paid cash made them think. when
he finally asked for credit. that h
wasn't a safe man to trust. Moral,
Never pay cash for anything II you
would avoid suspicion" N. Y. Sun.

SNAKES AS PETS.
Large Demand for King Snakes In
New York City.

new nOrk tttys
1t may seem strange to make pet of
a snake, but it is not so strange after all
when you know the particular reptile
which seems to be becoming a fad in
New York. 1t is the king snake, and it
can be truly called the peacock of its
species. 1t is most beautifully marked,
sometimes in red and black stripes and
again in white and black stripes. 1t
has seldom been known to bite hui
man being, and yet it is terror to
all other snakes. Small as the king
snake is, it never hesitates TO attack
another snake, no matter how large, and
it is rare case when it does not sue
coed. in killing its enemy.
The king snake when full grown is
about foot and half long. 1t is
found as far north as Colorado and as
far south as Texas. Those found ir
Colorado are marked with dull brown
stripes by no means beautiful; but as
you travel south you will find the king
snake more and more beautifully
marked, and when you reach the bor-
ders of Mexico the finest specimen of
any snake in the world can be found.
They are most Intelligent reptiles and
can easily be domesticated. They can
be fondled without the least fear. and
will not attack human being unless
aroused. The king snake is most
graceful in repose, and when in action
it's movements are like lightning.
A dealer whom I saw in Harlem has
over 100 of them in stock, and he told
me that he sells something like five,
day. They bring all the way from
two dollars to five dollars apiece.
.sNew Workers know little of snakes"
said he to me. land least of all the
king snake. / received two or three
OF them from friend of minefn Texas
last year. and kept them as curiosities,
I put them in case in my window, and
the beauty of their colors attracted
many people. l received dozens of in
quiries about them. The majority of
the people never head of king snake,
and when / told them that the snake
was not dangerous and related little
incidents of their intelligence, the peo-
pie were simply wild to get one. This
may have started the fad for king
snakes, but, at any rate. to please my
customers had to order large stock
of the snakes, and now l have more
demand for them than for anything
else"
where do the people keep the
snakes?" l asked.
Right in the house. They crawl
about the floor and make themselves
at home as readily as cat or a dog
In fact, they rid the house of vermin,
and no mice or rats remain anywhere
near king snake. They are perfectly
harmless, and will never attack yoI'
unless, of. course you deliberately tan
talize them.
THE ding snake delights in feeding
on mic,. 1t can go without eating for
nearly six months at time, but when
it is really hungry it will attack any
thing. AS a result am obliged to keep
on hand large number of mice to meet
demands for them as repast for the
king snake. 1 am not surprised that
people take to this reptile so much.
especially women. It is the most
beautiful snake of which know. and
the most intelligent."-N. Y. Herald.
