 lcancerous tendency is just as apt to de- yeiop into hideous perfection as Is the spark of good to become a radiant light Narrowness of thought, mind and under taking ''developed'' are likely, to become Iavii spectacles of coarseness. bluntness and looseness of principles in which wholesome heart plays no part.
 once knew a bright young country woman who came to city to live. Came and brought with her world of mar rowness. e world of egotism. and a sick Fly heart that had never known a love higher than that she placed on some in- animate thing. or dumb creature.
 ''she gives promise,'' those who became lher friends said, and they waited uptii with larger opportunities she might "ds- velop."
 The tiny little soul did not grow with a healthy growth: did not through coti- tact with the world develop wholesome iy from It's pastoral embodiment of igno- rance and verdure. but became in time bloated with all the miasmic poison that floats on the surface-all that she was deep enough to sec.
 When there is not a heart full of love and sympathy for fellow beings. beware of developing a friend. If you your self have developed in spite of a dwarfed heart then keep this mirror:
 You may speak, but the ring of insin- cerity of your words win cause them to die echoless, you may write but you will never put forth a thought tfreishted with message to humanity. You have never loved Mother love has beckoned to you and been scorned; brother love has been offered and refused: child love! Perhaps | God in his wisdom has put no baby heart within your reach for you to start To no friend have you been partial enough to be true. Each of your friends @ have known of your disioyalty to each of the others and suspected your disloyalty to herself.
 l Think. little soul. looking out from face lined with thought only of self, of the time when the false with the flesh l will rot away. Remember the bones. | They live long enough after death to grin and grin. In that day there will be no record of kind deed you've done. There will be no heart you have made to suffer less, that will rise up and change your dry destiny.
 In that day can you call; 'Mother! Brother! Baby, that might have borne! Friend to whom might have been true!
 In that day will the dwarfed heart be- sin to grow?
 Will it have another chance?
 Few realize how extravagant 1t is not to pay promptly"
 That was the remark made a few days since by a prominent and successful bus mess man of Montgomery.
 Tt increases the debt," he continued, land ruins ones credit. I had once heard a complaint that Mir. -, one of the richest men in the city was singled out by a plumber for moderate bills. I asked the plumber why he did it, Is the man was more able to pay well than was many a poor soul to whom he presented the proverbiaI ''extortionate biils." He replied: For two reasons: He gives me all his work and he pays cash. No bill goes longer than the following Saturday. That means a good deaISto a man who must pay off his men every Saturday night and must keep his home going too!
 told him I. wished him to make the same contract with me, He did, and 1t works we'll" fEsts
 After hearing that prosperous man talk set to wondering why this faet. '"rhe extravaganza of slow pay, does not reach more persons. can understand the vil- lain who never, Intends to pay as can understand any other form of dishones- ty, but I canot understand the mental bend of the man or woman who has not the slightest intention of permanently evading a debt and yet with $l0 in his pocket says to the man who calls to col feet from him a bill of $.50 he should have called himself to pay says: Gall again. or "rll stop by soon and pay that."'
 Even the servant problem would not be so formidable if, when pay day arrived, the full amount were cheerfully handed the cook as if she had really earned it. There are a few good trusty and capa- ble servants and they stick to the homes of the prompt payers.
 The exchange of small money is too slow, Mrs. Smith owes the dry goods man, who in turn owes the grocery man, who in turn owes the plumber. who in turn owes the newspaper man who in turn owes his cook who In turn owes "de furn- cher man. who is selling her on time a fifteen dollar set of furniture for S60, and whose collector haunts the back gate.
 That "furncher" man is the only out spoken william on the list and while I de- spise his methods. feel that he would not so thrive on them if they were better payers.
