HONEST IN MOTIVE,
FEARLESS IN EXPRESSION,
SOUND IN PRINCIPLE.

While maintaining unimpaired the
w high standards of private life and
public policy which it has upheld unfal-
teringly for more than sixty-four years,
the Sun is also in the front rank of
modern journalism in every factor which
enters into the production of great
newspaper.
It's mechanical equipment is complete
and up-to-date in every respect, and it's
facilities and arrangements for the
prompt collection of news are unsur-
passed.
Its special correspondents throughout
the United States, as we'll as in Europe,
China, South Africa, the Philippines,
Porto Rico, Cuba and in every other
part of the world supplement the efforts
of the general agencies by which it is
also served, so that it is enabled to print
all the news every day in the week.
Its Washington and New York bureaus
are among the best in the United States,
and give the Suns readers the earliest
information upon all important events in
the Legislative and financial centers of
the country.
The Suns market reports and CONNER
cial columns are complete and reliable,
| and put the farmer, the merchant and the
broker in touch with the markets of
Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston, New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia and all
other important points in the United
States and other countries.
The Sun is the best type of newspa-
per, morally and intellectually. It is an
educator of the highest character, con-
stantly stimulating to noble ideals in
individual and national life, and it gives
all the news all the time.

over, and tossed II into the fire, all I'M

But whether or not one knows the details
Of the methods OF getting money into the
right hands. 1t is IN important part Of a
wife's virtues to know how to spend the
money when once hers. Many a woman buys
what she wants. II she has the means to do
SO. without a thought If It be best or If she
could do without It, or IL she could get Il at
a better price elsewhere. But really, the
more o~penhanded a husband Is, the more 1t
is the wife's duty to think twice when
spending. For putting aside any question
Of her equities in the husbands income, the
fact remain that It is usually in his power,
and Is under the province Of that law which
declares that might makes right; and If be
is openhanded hat circumstance gives her
a double obligation to spend 1t reasonably
and wisely.
1t is not a consideration Of economy that
is involved, Of ~sparing. Of unselhshness, OF
doing without that another may have; It Is
the exercise of a suhncient degree OF care IN
expenditure and Of seeing that nothing be
wasted. And undoubtedly where this case
becomes a habit, other habits Of nice in
speetion follow IN its wake; and in the house
OF the wise and careful purchaser. where the
value Of a dollar is known, but not priced
above its value, for all that, there is moth
ing left at loose ends; the meats are used
up. the fruits are not left to spoil; moth and
rust do not corrupt. And the servants here,
who see a trust thus administered, are quite
prepared, when they have q home Of their
own to make the most Of their own proper
ties, and to practice on the small scale that
leads TO larger, the sort OF housekeeping In
whose lexicon there Is no such word as
waste" HARRIET P, SPOFFoRD.

likely as not is in the doctors hands at
the very moment.
Women are energetic and can attend to
detail, but it is rare that one possesses the
executive ability necessary to run a great
business without being actually ON the
spot continually. OF course, his woman
expressman has good subordinates, but 1t
Is not with her a case of someone else
doing the work while she remains a pic
turesque head. She knows well exactly
what goes on in her stables.
Besides Ill health this woman has had
to contend with organizations far larger
than her own-with the great express com
panies Of the country, four or FIVE OF which
send wagons into her territory, and even
the street car company, which operates a
trolley express almost past her door. Only
acute management could enable her not
only to hold her own, but to prosper in the
face Of this rivalry. She does not expect
ever to run an express business as large
as those Of some OF her rivals. but so
long as there is a comfortable annual in
crease in the amount Of business done and
the number Of dollars on the fair side OF
the balance accounts, she is content to re-
main prosperously local.
Her success. be 1t added as a last word,
has not had any especially luck as an i'm
portant factor. She has found herself up
against" misfortune more than once. A
fire, an accident to her horses and other
calamities have fallen to her share and
made inroads on her profits. She is so far
from being a favorite OF fortune that she
might have posed as a poor thing IL
she hadn't made up her mind that she was
going to be master Of her fate" and, in
cidentally, of a good-paying business.

MONEY IN THE POCKET.
Knowing How TO spend One of the Ex-
cellent Talents.

Knowing How TO spend one Of the Elk
ceIIent Talents.
There may be greater virtues in the pos
session Of the married woman, but there
are few greater and more excellent talents
than that Of knowing how to spend money,
not to waste It, but to spend 1t andNbe ac-
quainted with its management.
The wife OF one Of our foreign ambas-
sailors, whose husband was about to leave
her on a long journey, was given a check
book, which unfortunately and unwise.y she
had neved had before, with a sum Of money
In the bank. On her husbands return he
asked her IL she had had money enough.
"Oh. yes" she replied. And, indeed l have
half a dozen checks left;" her idea being
that each check stood for as much money
as she chose to indicate upon 1t, without
reference to any specific deposit or anything
apparently but the capacity Of the vaults
of the bank; while the bank officials, who
had had her husbands greatly larger ac-
count, had suffered her to draw what she
pleased.
This little woman was no more unac-
q~uainted with business processes than an
other, who, in seeing that when her hus-
band wanted money, he drew a check, de-
liberately signed his name to a check-he
bSihb obSNhNf III IL btiuk necessary u mcSb
the subscription to a charity-and when
other people we're in no end Of a scrape
in consequence, she at once declared that
she had done 1t as she and her husband had
always had their purse in common. A very
little instruction would have prevented any
such exhibition.
Knowing these instances to be facts, 1t
Is hardly necessary to emphasize the state
ment that every girl should be taught the
use Of a check book, even IL she has only a
SINCE dollar in the bank.
Where a woman can and does have funds
to draw upon, It is inexcusable that so sim
pie a matter should be neglected, although
1t probably is neglected just because 1t is
so simple. Still, one cannot help wonder
ing how a man, who is going to leave his
daughter or his wife many thousands, does
not have her fitted to take care Of 1t by
instruction in the first principles Of bank
ing, in primitive bookkeeping, and in the
