There died in Edinburgh a few years
ago IA cheerful. happy looking old woman,
who sold sweets to the children of the
Cowgate, that wrrtchcd, squalid spot OF
the Scottish capital. Her whole stock was
worth about couple of shillings, and she
once told me that when mt the end of the
day she had made d or pence profit she
was quite satisfied.
Alas, there axe many children in the
Cowgatc who never felt in the hollow Of
their hands halfpenny or even far
thing, and who. on bcholding the old wom-
an S basket full of shiny white, pink and
rose candies, would throw side glance of
envy and pass on, sad and detected, or stop
few seconds with their fingers in their
mouths. Seldom was n child who could
not afford Ia pay her allowed To pass that
basket without receiving one for love. One
day, coming out of school, the children
looked for the old woman In vain. She
was dead At her funeral hundreds of
barcfootcl little boys and girls in rags
followed their departed friend down the
Cowgatc.
When that old woman arrived at the
gates Of heaven, there were more angels To
meet her and take her To the throne of the
Almighty than there would be for the ar
rival of all the dukes in Christendom. If

The modern system of business makes IL

which In business is merely synonymous
with regular payment

on certain day every month the creditors
would receive shock IL the money on one
occasion We're few days late, and the rep
utation Of the house for imprcgnable sta
bility might receive some injury.
Ii Is therefore not surprising to hear
that tricks have been rcsortcd to by the
heads Of big firms in order 10 avoid the
mischief which IL momcntary pressure
might cause
In one case firm which required few
days extra Ia admit of their meeting their
monthly liabilities sent out all their
checks in the ordinary manner, but by
pretended error they We're left unsigned.
OF course they were promptly sent back
with letter In each case calling attention
TO the omission After days delay the
checks Were again sent out with letters
apologizing for the mistake But, to the
establishment of the creditors. the checks
were again found To be unsigned. They
We're of course sent back again. Another
delay cnsucd, but this time they We're re-
turned signed About four days were
thus gained and the reputation of the firm
remained mistaken
In n similar case n man pretended TO be
too i'll to sign his checks, and. though usu-
ally most straightforward, he had to i'm
