TAKE THOUGHT FOR ro-MoBRow.

TAKE THOUGHT FOR TOMORROW
 Take some thought for tomorrow Tomorrow the butcher, the baker, the candestick maker and others who have trusted you will send their little bills to you. Pay them as soon as possible. These are prosperous times, your ''per capita" has increased and the theory is that you have much more money with which to pay bills than usual. But if this is more theory than condi- tion, don't let that prevent you from settling up" as soon as possible. Lit tie bills are often neglected even when they can be easily paid. Prompt pay- ment helps business and makes all con- cerned feel good. Don't start the New Year in debt if you can help it. Promptly give the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker and the others what belongs to them.

PROSPERITY.

It is interesting to read that the em-
 ployes of the Oliver Mining Company,
 the H. c. Prick Coke Company, the
 Carnegie Natural Gas Company, the
 Youghiogheny Northern Railroad, the Union Railroad, the Pittsburg, Besse- mer and Lake Erie Railroad, the Pitts burg and Conneaut Dock Company, the Union Supply Company, the Pittsburg Limestone Company, the Mingo Coal Company, the Youghiogheny Water Company, the Pleasant Valley Water Company and the Pittsburg Steamship Company, which concerns form part of the Carnegie Company, will on Jan uary 2 be notified that the same wages as paid this year will be continued for one year mores The company has also decided to make no change in the wages paid the workmen in it's steel and blast furnace plants.
 Just stop minute and think what a company that must be of which the al bove-mentioned concerns form only a part, and also think what ability and skill it requires to keep that company going in such way as to pay good wages. Furthermore, consider what an indication of prosperity 1t is that the can be made to keep the wages of this year going for year more. Verify, these are large times.

OpPORTUNITY WITH AN IF.

Young man, if the Nicaragua canal is ever started by the United States go South if you haven't any other good place to go to. Government experts who have been to Nicaragua in connec-
 ton with the numerous commissions
 which have investigated canal routes
 there say that the territory adjoining
 the proposed canal is rich in all sorts
 of natural resources which are capable
 of development into valuable posses
 sions. Up to this time capitalists have
 been prevented from investing their
 money in Nicaragua property on &C.,
 count of the unstable condition of the
 local government. Revolutions in Cen tral America are of frequent occurrence
 and uprisings may develop over night
 which will destroy the work of years and lead to the wholesale confiscation of property. This danger has kept for eigners away from the place, but with the authorization of a canal through Nicaragua by the United States the peace of the republic will be insured, for this government could not afford to endanger it's interests there by permit ting political adventurers to wreck the government at will. It is pre- dicted, therefore that as soon as the canal is a certainty Americans will go to Nicaragua and buy up concessions.
 There is said to be a great future to any one embarking in the business of rubber and cacao or chocolate growing 'n Nicaragua Tracts of land or which rubber trees are growing in great num- bers can be had in Nicaragua for little pr nothing, and with a little attention and cultivation valuable plantations could soon be had.

 sent a ringing "adios" to the men be-
 low, and turning plunged, slipping, rol- | ling, falling into the canon.
 As he ran through the chaparral, the
 Mexican soldiers who had given chase
 shipped the leaves and scattered little
 whiffs Of dust and splinters of rock from the bank beside him. Above the
 popping of the rifles there came from l far down the valley the shouts of men.
 and then the long, high cry of Yaqui squaw, mingled with the echoso of fast repeated shouts. The Mexcans turned back, and Isadore went on, knowing
 that his work had ben done well-Muni had come.
 Nothing but the dogged endurance of generations inured to physical hard ships could have kept him in the now familiar trail as he staggered on, feel ing nothing, seing nothing but the wis ion of his wife calling him, dying with out him. When he reached the spring where he had left his horse he drank long and deep, plunging his throbbing head again and again into the little pool. With his hands dabbling in the water, his heavy lids closed, and In an instant the bliss os sleep was upon him; but as he fioated into forgetful- ness, he seemed to hear low. swet voice calling his name. He started up, then struggled to his feet and blindly saddled the pony. Then the faithful beast stumbled on down the mountain.
 The soothing light of the moon again rested on the ugly little town when he rode into Don Juan. He dropped from his horse to his knees in front of the hut. The dooc and window stood wide open, and the long bars of silver illu- minated the darkest corner with their mocktng light. The room was bare and empty.-Rose L. Ellerbe in The Argo- naUt.

CHINA COMES DOWN.

The news comes from China that the Chinese plenipotentiaries have been un- expectedly ordered to sign the prelinli- nary joint note, and have notified the foreign envoys to that effect. It is fur ther said that the emperor's instruc- tions are to agree fully to the note, but to try to get the best terms possible, particularly in the matter of limiting the number of legation guards and as to the places where these are to be located The plenipotentiarles are also instruct ed to keep down the number of army posts along the line of railroad as low as possible, and to request the powers not to destroy but only disarm the forts
 This is important if true, and it seems to be true. If 1t Is true, the Chi nese puzzle is nearer solution than it has been generally believed to be. It Is to be hoped that it can be solved with out much more murder, stealing and other villany,

Seventy-f1ve per cent. of the bills passed at the recent session of the Georgia legislature were to amend the charters of the cities and towns or to Incorporate cities and towns. There that such large per cent. of these were bills related to charters is cause of surprise. The Atlanta Constitution says it is not at all improbable that, at the next session, an effort will be made to confer power on the superior courts to grant charters to towns and to amend charters already granted.

The State, 18th inst.
Ever since the State dispensarv

charge of its enforcement have
been proceeding upon the as
sumption that liquor shipped into

to be considered liquor sold in
this State and was therefore Ii bic
to contiscation by the constables
as contraband stuff. The con.
stables have always been Selling
liquor so shipped, and it see ms no
one raised the point. Finally the
Southern Express company, on
account of the number OF confis-
cations, determined to instruct it's
agents elsewhere not to take such
shipments for South Carolina
points.
But the legality of this the
company doubted, and few days
ago the matter was presented to
the governor in proper shape.
Gov McSweeney referred it to the
attorney generals office and AS,
sistant Attorney General Gunter
got to work on the law of the
case with the result that he has
filed an opinion, which shows that
