A Business Parable,

Once a farmer had one thousand
eight hundred bushels of wheat which
he sold, not to single grain merchant,
but to one thousand eight hundred
different dealers, bushel each. A
few of them paid him in cash, but far
the greater number said it was not
convenient then, but would pay later.
A few months passed, and the farmers
bank account ran low. How Is this, "
he said. "My one thousand eight
hundred bushels of grain should have
kept me in affluence until another crop
is raised; but l have parted with the
grain and have instead only vast
number of accounts, so small and scat
tered that I cannot get around and
collect it fast enough to pay expenses. "
So he posted up public notice and
asked all who owed him to pay quickly.
But few came. The rest said, Mine
is only small matter, and / will go
and pay, one of these days." forget
ting that though each account was very
small, when all were put together they
meant large sum to the man. Things
went on thus, when the man fell out of
bed and awoke, and running to his
granary found his one thousand eight
hundred of grain still safe there. He
had only been dreaming and hadn't
sold his wheat at all.
Moral-The next day the man went
to the publisher of his paper and said:
Here, sir, is the pay for your paper;
and when next years subscription is
due you can depend on me to pay it
promptly. stood in the position of an
editor last night, and I know how it
feels to have ones honestly earned
money scattered all over the country
in small accounts"

COOK RECONSTRUCTED.
And Made Complaint Against the
Saloon Keepers

With a suit for non performance of
duty staring him in the face officer
Cook reconsidered his action of last
SUNDAY, when he refused to make a
complaint against we'll known saloon
keeper for violating the State law and
late Wednesday afternoon he appeared
before Justice Slater and made formal
complaint against the liquor dealer and
warrant was issued for his arrest
The officer recOnsidered his action, it
is said, on the advice and orders Of the
head of the police department and in
this manner it is hoped to quash the
case against him which has now gained
good Roadway The warrant had
not been served up to noon today, but
it is said that the saloon man will
plead guilty and pay the fine OF ten
dollars and costs. The suit against
the officer will probably be compro-
missed, but it is said that the Common
Council will be asked to take some
action in regard to the case. The ar
rest will furnish a precedent for future
use and if the temperance people ofthe
city organize for the purpose they may
make it exceedingly hot for the saloon
keepers who violate this clause of the
State law.

GOOD sense the world over demands
n immediate conclusion of hostilities
between this country and Spain. But
standing in the way of this much de-
sired contamination is what is known
as Spanish honor. Just what this
term actually signifies it defies the
shrewdest to understand, but it would
appear in this case to be synonymous
with the present dynasty's desire to
perpetuate itself. We're there stable
power on the throne of Spain it would
certainly comprehend the absolute
foolishness of further prolonging the
war and seek refuge in peace. But so
long as the very governing power itself
is not attacked, those in authority
know that their chief danger lies
among the people. While a show of
resistance is made and the people can
be hoodwinked by false reports the
dynasty seems to itself to be compare
lively safe. The people are satisfied.
Let fighting continue in the Philip
pines, Porto Rico and Cuba and al
most anywhere else, with the greatest
loss of life, expense and disaster, if it
only does not reach the capital city or
some other point equally near home,
and the people do not demur, it will
make but little difference to the gov
erning body. In other words, it is not
Spain or the Spanish people who are
making and continuing the war, but a
number of men representing in part a
proud dynasty, but chiefly their own
ambitions and selfish ends. They have
neither the courage nor the patriotism
to sacrifice their own interests to the
good of Spain, to present to the people
the true condition of affairs and secure
to that weak, tottering country a much
needed peace.

of the great charity bazaar fire.
