Cast your bread upon the
waters and We shall find it after
many days. That is scripture
but if any such remark is made to
a nineteenth century man he would
ask: How much interest can you
pay" The greed for money is
wrecking more men at the present
time than almost anything that
can be named. The love of money
is honey-combing the very vitality
of the nation and running both
morals and business to great
extent.-New Hampton Iowa

Down at Aurora, ILL.,. for five
years an interesting lawsuit has
been on. A man was drowned and
it is alleged he was intoxicated at
the time. His widow brought suit
against a saloonkeeper charging
him with selling the liquor, which
was contributory cause, at least,
of his death. Judgment was Sc
cured for $1,000. The saloon man
skipped. Suit was commenced
against his bondsmen: they put
their property out of their hands:
but the transfers were set aside and
the verdict is finally collected.
The case was bitterly fought by
the State Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton and has been through all the
courts. It is a precedent which is
liable to make much trouble. Ben
