v. Fine looking man. Would never
demean himself, places a proper esti-
mats upon his own character and
thinks OF everybody else. He makes
what he can; gives himself all the COM
forts o. life, never refuses request for
needy object. He pays all his debts
and has right to expect everybody
else to pay him. He never speculates,l
nor runs any risk unless he knows the
return will be sure. He never tries to
fleece the man who works harder than
himself. He is upright, honest, and
much respected. He is too indepen-

He lives to suit himself, and pays az be

Inquiry Of Endeavorers and

The TRANSCRIPT desires to
have answers to the following
query from members of the
Christian EndeaYor and EpWorth
League Societies: Months ago
the TRANSCRIPT inserted a col
umn upon the Sunday School
Lessons which are so generally
used. 1t is presumed these COM
ments are read and are appreci-
ated by members of the Sunday
Schools and Bible students.
subsequently comments upon
the weekly topics of the Christian
Endeavor societies and also those
OF the EpWorth League were in
troduced. The. query is, ssAre
these found to be useful or do
the many special papers and
helps SO abundantly furnished
the societies do away with the
necessity for these newspaper
comments?" If so, hespace can
probably be devoted to some
thing of more general interest.
Answers are desired. A postal
card will fill the bill.

Of corn on the earth, lots coal 10 1t and
lumber grows without planting. He
always has good health, doesn't care
rap for money, can make bali a dollar
sny day; as to keeping it he can get
mors When he wants it. he spends his
lsst red cent and doesn't get much for
y either. When he's hard up he SAYS.
Hello, Tom, loan me quartefP I'n
pay you back Tomorrow but If tomor-
row Is rainy he stays home. He's
good fellow, would not hurt soul. and
never did q wrong thing in his life.
There are no clouds in the sky for him,
at least he never saw any. Summer is
nine nonths long and the other three
mnrths are as promising as spring time.
His name is Devilmaycare Borrow.
III. He's = good fellow too. He
likes 10 make little money, but only
that he may spend 1t. He likes TO dress
well, keep UP appearances both in and
out of the house. He can earn living
wages, but he knows no care and never
provides for the future. II he wants to
have good time he calls on bis friends
for ioan. He is conscientious enough
and intendsto pay back but he never
gets enough ahead To do it, and it
doesn't worry him very much. He
goes to the town ball or the church
whenever anything happens in the way
of an intellectual treat. A. dollar a
time is nothing to him; he doesn't mind
it, and has a good lime. He is known
as Livelong Credit.
III. He makes the most Of every-
thing. What he doesn't want to-day
he saves for tomorrow, not for his own
use but for anoihe: fellow. He has
his eye on little interest. He is hard
working and likes to own property. If |
his uncle left him ten thousand dollars
he would not let it slip through bis
fingers. II anybody wants contribu-
tlon from him he wants to know all !
about 1t. II it is for really good
cause he says ''all right, I'm willing"
He is a good-hear.ed fellow, helps
along any poor man, but he believes iD
being just before generous. He says,
II work for what get, you 70 and do
the same" He'd rather put his money
out at six per cent than let it lie secure
in the bank at FIVE; he will risk a little
anyhow. People call him Mr.. Loan.
". He cannot see an thing but the
almighty Golllr. He has been called a
fool because he hald nickel so close to
bis eye that he shut out the sight of
dollar beyond it. There are no days of
grace In his state. II he makes you
loan and yon get sick unto death, and
cannot pay on the dGy y promised,
he would put you out of the house.
When he wants to buy something he
says il isnot worth five cents, but when
be wants to sell he says it is worth FIVE
dollars. He over-prsists> what he wants
to sell and runs down what he wants to
buy. You can get him to circulate
