Education.

The value Of an education is APP
preciated not only by the man who
in his youth was given its high
privileges, but by the man who by
force Of circumstances was denied
early educational advantages, Men
Of experience in any line of bust
ness will advise their young friends
to grasp every opportunity for ed
ucational training offered in early
life. The educated man we'll knows
what his early training has done
for him, and the uneducated knows
that men who were denied the
privilege Of an early education are
frequentlyin the course Of life's ex
perience forced to face serious en-
barrassments and obstacles.
Wilmott said that education is
the apprenticeship Of life" Frank
lin said: IF man empties his
purse into his head no man can
take it away from him. An in
vestment in knowledge always pays
the best interest" Ruskin said
that education, briefly, is leading
the human mind and soul to what
is right and best aud to make what
is best out of them, and these two
objects are always obtainable to-
gether and by the same means.
The training which makes men
happiest in themselves also makes
them most serviceable to others
Charming said; "He is to be edu-
Gated, not because he is to make
shoes, nails or pins, but because he
is a man"
Education is never finished, and
no one knows this better than the
really educated or cultured man.
One may be the graduate of the
finest educational institution in the
land, out still he finds that "there
is more to learn" The storehouse
of knowledge is never depleted. and
there is none so rich Or so poor
that he may not draw something
therefrom. Those who were denied
the advantages of an early educa-
ton may in the course of later life.

to study at home, acquire an edu-

Point in Statute q Limitations.

Point In Statute Of Limitations.
Judge Steele has handed down
on important opinion in the case
Of Mrs. 1. 0. jolly and Thomas
jolly against G Weber, at Mos
COW, in which the point involved
was the statute Of limitations. The
opinion holds that Webber's note is
not barred, and that the plaintiffs
have right to recover. The amount
involved is about $1,000.
Weber, in 1892, gave note for
$500 to Mr. johnson, who later
assigned it to the plaintiffs. In
1895 Weber made small pay
ment. In 1900, before five years
had expired, Weber wrote TO Mrs.
jolly that he did not then have the
money but that he would yet get it,.
He also offered to pay her in notes
he held at the rate of So for ST..
The plaintiffs claimed that de-
PENDANTS letter in 1900 was new
promise to pay, and that it pre-
vented the note from being OUT
lawed at the end Of five years stat
ute Of limitation. Defendant con-
tended that his promise in 1900
was only a conditional one, and
that it did not prevent the note
from being outlawed. Judge Steele
holds that Webber's promise to get
the money prevented the note from
being outlawed, and gives the
plaintiffs the right to recover.

the "Highbinders, who sell her to

head of his household to be queen Of
