Debt, Dirt, Devil

"Certainly, my boy, take it
along. You are good for any
thing that you want in this store.
Pay whenever you are ready"
The merchant was a kind-hearted
gentleman who thought he was
serving the best interests OF his
customer and his own as well.
But in both he was seriously
wrong. The young man, finding
on every hand that credit was so
easy to obtain, soon educated his
wants beyond his earning ability,
and presently became 50 hope
lessly involved with debt that,
smartiug under the goading of
his creditors, he deserted his
home and died by his own hand.
The merchant, too, when the
panic came, found to his sorrow
that promiscuous promises to pay
are not negotia bic in bank, and
was forced to the wall, losing the
honestly earned profits of half a
business lifetime in the crash that
followed. How much better it
would have been for both Gus
toner and merchant to have
said; "No, my boy, l am not
afraid to trust you, but for your
own sake let me entreat you
not to handicap your future with
debt. It>will unnerve YOU" You
cannot climb the ladder of sue
cess with one hand while with the
other you are striving to drive
hungry creditors OFT from your
track.
l know an eminently successful
business man who, at seven years
of age, was taught a lesson which
more than any other one princi-
pie has become enwrOught in his
career. He was very fond of
popcorn candy. One day he felt
shat he must have some of his
favorite CONNECTION. He tried to
get money at home, but failed.
Then came the temptation of
debt. 1t would be a small mat
ter, he would soon have money,
and could pay without the knowl-
edge of his parents. He timidly
made his way to the candy store,
and in a piping voice called for
three cents worth of popcorn
candy. The dealer, a gruff, snarl-
ing man at best, weighed out the
corn, put it into a sack, handed
it to the boy, and held out his
nand for the pay. The boy, who
by this time was badly frighten-
ed, began to stutter: "I'll p-pay-
for-it-sir-next Sat- but the
sentence was never finished.
"You will, hey" yelled the angry
dealer. II guess you won't,
though. Why didn't you tell me
you had no money? Give me that
sack. Get out of here And
the boy, terrified beyond express
sion, scudded home through the
back alleys, feeling like a sneak
thief, and believing that even the
calves, chickens and pigs on the
way knew of his disgrace and
were laughing at his misery. The
dealer was gruff. Some persons
would call him brutal. But he
was kind to the boy; for after
