Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances that any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity pre-
sents itself he is ready to take adj
vantage of it. A little forethought
will also save much expense and val
liable time. A prudent and careful
man will keep bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy in the house, the shiftless
fellow will wait until necessity CON-
pels it and then ruin his best horse
going for a doctor and have big
doctor bill to pay, besides; one pays
25 cents, the other is out hundred
dollars, and then wonders why his
neighbor is getting richer while he
is getting poorer. For sale by Ben

of today talks about obcessions,
and claims that the inanimate sur
roundings of person influence
him for good or evil. Who shall
say that there is no truth in the
assertion?
But / know that the other prop
Eosition is true.
Insane asylums are recommended
to be on the cottage plan, so that
an intelligent official would have
opportunity to divide his charges
according to their moral standing.
It is more of a need than any
other prison reform today. Verify,
if all unseen things could be seen
by the passer there would be no
prison where the unwary sinner
would be thrown in as a prey to
the wandering kulos soul, who de-
lights to drag down to per-
dition those who are only weak
and hating by the wayside.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1898-12-15

was the apparent necessity for pun
ishment in such a case? The de-
PENDANT was man of good repu-
tation, and had for a number of
years been engaged in business in
the town. Of course, a forger
would think it good thing if the
authorities would be kind enough
to arrest and imprison the man
who had been swindled by forged
documents, as in that way he him
self would be sure to escape prose
cution. It would also give him
ample time to destroy any other
documentary evidence which might
exist of his criminal practices.
But where can be the excuse of
the court and public prosecutor
who will lend their aid to prose-
the person who has been swindled,
at the request OF the swindler. 1t
any documentary evidence exists
which would favor the defendant,
then it would seem that he should
have a right to have it presented
to the jury, and its suppression or
destruction at the request of the
complaining witness is indefens-
ible. The charge that fraudulent
representations were made by the
accusedein the above case is absurd
when the above facts are consid-
cred.
The case cited reminds me of
the counterfeiter who passed a
false bank note on q man and then
rushed to the authorities and had
him arrested for having it in his
possession.
