it as a good friend, fo~ ycu will find 1t
 to be a very helpful friend to you on many occasions in life. You see some
 young men who endeayor in the way
 they handl5 their money to give out
 an impression that they care very lic-
 tie for it. They crush it into a wad
 and take this wad from their pockets
 as if it were 9 bundle of rags. Do you initiate this sort of thing? Sensible pe0pla handle money as they handle
 anything else which represents value,
 in @ way which shows that they under
 stand the worth Cf it.
 FOLLOW YOUR FATHERS ADVICE.
 After you have the right idea of the i necessity of nnon5y for your daily hap piness then the next thing to learn is i how to get it. The rule for doing this
 is a short one-spend less than ycu
 earn. Yes says young man,
 father has told me that hundred times" Is that SC? Then you have a very sensible father. Realize, if you can, just what your father has been l telling you, and begin now to put his advice in practice. He has had years Of experience, and knows the value of a dollar. and. loving you, he does not want you to ever have a time in your life when you will be pennil5ss, and so he is trying to impress this valuable lesson upon you in order that you may escape the unhappiness which comes with poverty. Spend less than you earn would make a good eleventh com naDdment.
 Arc you storing up these points, my boy? First, an appreciation of money: second, spend less than you earn and get money. Now the third lesson tJ 1a9I i- hoT7 A -f5 oT,lg 1-- Spend it wisely; that is. think before you spend it, and when you spend it see that you get what you pay for.
 Spending money wisely must, of ne- 'o-ssity, have it's own interpretation with every person. It may mean with one tc buy leaf of bread, with an other to buy gold ring. To use ter dollars for a luxury may be an unwise thing for one perscn to do, while with another it may bz a very sensible thing to do. All depends upon the amount of money that one has. It is wise to think before spending money. Asso- ciate the spending Cf 1t with the earn ing of it. If you are earning twenty cents an hour and want to buy some thing that costs q dollar. ask yourself if the thing is worth five hours of la bor to you
 See that you get what you pay for. i You have 3 right to your moneys i worth, and you should no more allow ! 9 person to give you less than you pay fer than you would think Of paying for | less than ycu get.
 SOMETHING FOR MENTAL DIGES- |
 TON.
 I4st me close this weeks letter with | some statements which I hope you will | pOt forget. You must live and in or | der to live you must have money. | Money can come through several chan ne,s. It may be stolen, found, begged, i borrowed, inherited or earned. Steal . ic and you become a criminal; to find . it you are not likely: beg it, and you lcse your manhood; borrow it. and you become slave; inherit it, you may, but most people have to earn it. Face tEe situation. and if you can have it only by earning it go reS0,utely to work. Stern fact but a true one, that people have very little use for you when you do not nave dollar for they do not care to support you. Pow erty is ore of the severest tests of The last csnt is the lifted latch on the gate of despair. Misery begins where money ends. Want will trsnsfcrzn Q saint into a sinner. Gather to yourself happiness by learning the Fa-ue of dollar, by spending l5s5 than you earn in order to get the dollar, and having gotten it think before you spend it, and having spent it see that you get what ycu have paid for Fol low this advice and you will never lavs cause to regret it.
