Que of the cadets of a northwestern military academy. but who lives in Chicago, has convinced his father that he is destined 10 a brilliant business career It is all owing to q letter that the young man wrote a short time ago
 It appears that the father had prom ised the boy he should have any sort of watch he wanted at the close of the present school term. Nothing more was heard about the watch until the father received a letter that ran about like this: Dear Father: -I have been looking at watches lately and have decided that the kind I want will cost you about $350 As a watch of this value is hardly of the sort for a= boy of f5# to carry, and as I will not need watch till after l leave school, l wish to make this suggestion: Prob ably you are hard up and do not wish to spend $230 for a watch at this time Four years from now when leave school watches will be cheaper. and it is likely that you can then buy the same watch for $150 Now the interest on sS50 for four years CsimpIe inter est=I am willing to let you have the benefit Of the compound at 6 per cent will be $S4 If you will send me the $84 now yon need not buy the watch till after 1 leave school In this way you will have the use of the $266 for four years. and at the end Of that time the watch will only cost you $150; $50 plus $s4 is $2S4. or $1l6 less than what the watch will cost you now.
