THREE ESSENTIALS OF THE AGE

Ny belief is that The three greatest
needs of this age are clean manhood, pure
womanhood and good citizenship.

are absolutely clean! The majority chew.

these flowers, And yet authorities tell

DUTIES OF THE BUSINESS MAN.


If | were a business man 1 would at
tend to my own business better than
most businessmen dol mean those parts
OF my business which concern myself
and family most nearly.
l wonld sex to own my own home. I
would tn to do this if | had to cover
the house kneo-deep with mortgages at
the start. Flats have their mission and
their menace. In land as large as this
Gods ideal is to have every family own
a spot of the green earth from the center
of the earth to the summit of heaven.
And. when | got the home, / would put
1t in my wife's name. l would have the
family home in her name. not the family
religion. | would transfer the house to
her when things were going well with me-
in good times, so that no one could sus
pect my motive. | would do it openly
and let the world know it.
Then / would buy life insurance in
diligently. Hardly a business man does
this. Instead of insuring his life, as he
does his stock of goods, he waits to be
teased to protect his wife and children
and then take the kind of life insurance
which the agent. being usually personal
or business friend, recommends.
1t almost takes the breath away from
life insurance company TO have a bust
ness man walk in and say. Il want life
insurance. so much and such a PLAN"
showing that he has done his own think
ing about it.
l would buy some life insurance on the
Encouragement plan. or il could afford
lit, on the twenty-year endowment plan.
| would find the best companies and scat
ter the insurance among them.
But | would also buy some on a con-
vertible term plan. the money to be paid,
not in lump sum, but in annual INSTALL
ments, so long as my children are in
school. Rather than leave $4,000 in a
lump sum to my wife, sum difficult for
her to invest, l would have it payable in
annual payments for twenty years, $500
a year, and the policy that wcuia pay more
than that, principal and interest, would be
far better than $4,000 in a lump sum.
The wife would not need TO lend it to her
cousins. and the boys could not get at
it and be ruined by it.

THE DEVIL A HARD MASTER.
BY Rev w. NJ CaryardInt

We are hearing great deal in these
days about wages and differences between
capital and labor and the organization of
TRUSTS and combination of mOneyed in
terests and mergers between railroads.
We have our opinion Of such men as Mr..
Baer and the coal operators. and public
sympathy is going out in substantial form
to the Eastern coal miners in their valiant
struggle against the oppression Of the
coal trust.
But the worst taskmaster thats the
world has ever known is the Devil him
self
He uses the love Of money as bait,
and in these days the mad rush for
wealth. the fever OF speculation. the craze
for gambling Of every description, and
the wild desire for pleasure and social
position is evidence thar his satanic ma
jesty knows well how to utilize this bait
in his victims.

them: making anxious efforts for them;
giving them our best and chief desires

Charles Fair, who with his wife
was killed while automobiling in,
France, was man who made few
intimate friends. His impulses
were generous, but those who knew
him best say that he believed so
strongly in recent years that he
was the victim .of hoodoo that he
found little pleasure in life. He
occasionally. referred to his mistor-
tunes in a,pessimistic manner. His
steam yacht, in which he expected
to enjoy life few years ago, was
such a failure that he sold her. He
alleged that whenever he bought a
gun for hunting, a sport OF which
he was fond, it promptly became
useless. q! His turf venture with
Prince Poniatowski was very un-
lucky, and he alleged thatif ever he
took out party in his automobile
to show off,its speed the machine
would break down. Probably if he
had had more serious things to
think about than his own amuse-
ments he would not haye. made so
much of these mishaps. They de-
pressed him.. however, and con-
vinced him that he was very un-
lucky young man.
