Lending Money.

Years ago I read that a young man
should be satisfied with a low and safe
rate of interest and take the advice of
those more eXperienced-to not know
it all. | have been very fortunate in
not losing money lent to friends. Ere
quently | give small sums to old
friends who are now deadbeats and
wish to borrow for a few hours or
days. | never get such sums back and
never expect to when | let it 60 But
whenever | have lent $50, more or less,
to friend and expected it back it has
come / think this is due to my use
of a discriminating judgment before
lending. Once it cost me good deal
over thousand dollars cash to dis
obey my better judgment and go into
a side-line business with a friend l
did not get the counsel of those to
whom l should have gone, and l re-
fused to follow my own feelings. :
was ''roped' in by talk.

Men. Methods and Work.


The manager, for very successful
money maker, said that he worried
over the big things, while his employ
er worried over the little things.
The manager got along with the
employees and the details better than
The proprietor did, but the proprietor
got along with the whole business
much better than the manager could.
Some\ men can keep anything run
ming lovely if some one else will only
see that pay day is passed in good
shape. The man able to attend to
payday requirements might rattle
the whole concern if he were to see to
little things.
A man able to make a hundred dol
lars an hour may be able to hire for
a hundred dollars month man who
can do some things better than the
employer can do them.
Few are able to get living doing
just what they want to do, and very
few are willing to limit their efforts
to the things they can do the best
One man told me that more men
failed in his line of work for lack of
ability to handle men than for any
other or all other reasons.
Few men know how to interest,
animate, educate, and keep on good
terms with other men. In some cases
the more you know the more in the
background you have to go, due it may
be to having more knowledge than
skill.
In one case, of an unpopular fore
man going on vacation and a popu-
lar workman taking his place for the
day, the product was over twenty per
cent more than usual.
If ten thousand men of all kinds
should find themselves out of work,
one might create ideas, another exc
cute them, another organize and man
age the others.
Some could do some parts of the de-
tail work twice as we'll as some of
the others could One would be a
good buyer of material and another a
good collector of accounts.
Some would win honors and some
would get disgraced, but they would
finally drift or climb, fall or jump, to
positions just as we find them to-day.
Only this difference-the successful
might make better use of their success
and the failures profit by their ex-
pensive experiences more than they
have been doing during this century.
If this possibility were to be ac
complished the next century would be
more than hundred yeF::s ahead, and
the common humdrum life would be
quite ideal.
If our best intelligence were to ac-
company our every action much would
De done. We all know why things are
not better than they are.

Health Helps Money Making.

I began talking with a man soon
after we left the morning train, and
some remark brought up the subject
of his health.
He said: Il have not been feeling
we'll for three weeks"
Your health is generally good, isn't
it?"
Yes, am usually as strong as an
OK, but | have been working too hard
and | wish my vacation came to-day
in place of month from to-day"
How to take care of yourself while
you overwork is a pretty good subject
to study"
Yes, should say it was. l sleep
pretty WELL although l dreamt last
night that | was a cashier in a bank
and was taking an inventory of the
stock when the papers in the safe

The Man Himself Studies.

What is the cause of criminal care.
lessness?" Two years ago man ask
ed me the above question. He had
been having trouble and l have been
thinking about the subject ever since.
1t may be due to ignorance. Some
claim that people are not as good nor
as bad as they appear to be-if we
knew more we would be better. But
we will know more if we are any good
and have our goal in the right place.
The idea that experience is a dear
school but fools will learn In no other,
might be revised to read: 1t is a
wise man who learns by experience; !;
fools never lear1 Though a man is
not to be blamed for being born ig-
norant, he can be blamed for re-
naming ignorant, and continued or
repeated carelessness may be called
criminal.

Sunday Recreation.

Statistics say that Monday is the
careless day of the week and the day
for mistakes and accidents This
must be due to people using Sunday to
get untuned rather than to become
better tuned. How is it with the vio-
lin and strings? Is it better to loosen
the strings when not in use or should
the instrument be kept all the time
in tune? 1 may select Sunday for
=, subject in order to learn how to
use the day to my profit. l heard
Moody say that he had learned by ex-
perience that he could not preach
seven days week and keep free from
headaches. The teacher and preacher
live the longest of any class of work
ers, so the hint from Mr.. Moody is
worth remembering. What do you
know about Sunday recreation?

Ones Sphere OF Usefulness.

One of the most important things
for us to learn early, is what We are
able to do and not TO do. As for my
self, | believe l was born without a
sense of money value. and as l look
back and note my expenditures and in
uestments, / feel that | might have
had a nice little property to-day had 1
put my wasted dimes and dollars reg
ularly in some trustworthy place. It
has taken me quarter of century
to recognize my inability to lend mon
ey commercially, Or in a wise way So
cia1ly. and l feel like saying to all
young people the quicker you can find
out what you can do well, and what
you are unable TO do well, the better it
will be for you.

TREATY TO AVOID WAR3.
France and Great Britain Agree OF a
General Arbitration Plan.

PARISH was learned in authori
tative quarters that the terms of the
general treaty of arbitration between
France and Great Britain have been
concluded between Foreign Minister
Delcasse and the authorities in Lon
don.
All the substantial terms of the
treaty have now been settled. There
only remain minor questions of detail
and the signing of the treaty. These
formalities are so far advanced that
the treaty is considered to be an ac-
compiished fact. The advanced state
of the negotiations has not yet been
communicated to the public.
The treaty follows the general lines
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, which
to a considerable extent served as a
model 1t is pointed out that the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, although rejected
by the United States senate, now
serves the useful purpose of giving a
basis for this important Anglo-French
treaty The officials also view the ne.
gotiations as evidence of the sympa-
thetic attitude of the United States,
France and Great Britain on the prac-
tical adoption of the theory of arbi-
tration.
