Two Men and a Moral.

Two men down in the State of
Texas decided to go into business
of merchandising.
Each had about $1,000 cash and
they went east together and each
bought stock of goods.
The first one stuck his card in
his home papers before he bought
his goods; and when he came back
he continued to tell the people
about it.
He got acquainted and from the
first there was something doing in
that shop. He soon had to tele-
graph to fill orders where goods
ran short.
He never haggled over the
money he spent to let the people
know where to find him. After
two years he is worth SIP, 900 and
is the biggest advertiser in that
section, and the best known man.
The second man came home
with his stock, and the local paper
mentioned that he had been 70
New York.
The publisher came around and
asked about an ad. But he said
would have to hire a clerk and pay
rent and fire insurance and pay
taxes and that he could not afford
it yet, but would favor the paper
with an ad as soon as he felt able
to do it. He said, however, he
did not think that newspaper
advertising paid, but he supposed
he would have to do it sometime.
Well, he is living in the same
town yet, but conditions have
changed. He sat around the store
until clerk hire, rent aud insurance
ate up the stock and after a little
scene with the sheriff, he retired
from business, and now has a job
as stenographer. Elk.

Proverbs from the FIowery Land

The Chinese are remarkable for
the number of their books, filled
with a mixture of wisdom and fol-
ly. We give few of their proverbs:
1t is foolish to borrow trouble
from tomorrow.
Better be upright with poverty
than wicked with plenty.
A gem uncut is of little use; so a
man untaught IS stupid.
A coward who boasts of his cour-
age they call paper tiger"
Prosperity is a blessing to the
good, but a curse to the evil.
He who chatters much to no pur-
pose climbs a tree to catch fish. .
Hear one side and you will be in
the dark; hear both sides and all
will be clear.
A word once spoken, a coach
with four horscs can not overtake
it and bring it back.
II you love your son, give him
plenty of the cudgel; if you hate
him, cram with daluties.
1t is a common saying with them
that = greedy man is a serpent
who wants to swallow an elephant. .
If a person is ignorant of books,
they will say. Turn him upside

down, but not drop of ink will
come out of him.
They who respect themselves
will be honored; but they who do
mot care about their character will
be despised.
Those who touch vermilion be-
come red and those who touch ink
become black, so people take their
character from their companions.
When doing what is right the
heart is easy and becomes better
every day, but when practicing
deceit the mind labors and every
day gets worse.

Regarding riches and appetite
the Louise News says: Our good
friend with a million dollars a

be sorry. He can have more places
to live in and enormously more
and handsomer apparatus of living,
but he can't live in more thar one
place at once, and too much APP
paratus is bother. He can make
himself comfortable and live health
full. So can we. He can have all
the leisure he wants, can go where
he likes and stay as long as he
will. He has the better of us
there. We have the better of him
in having the daily excitement and
discipline of making living. We
may beat him in discipline, too
We are apt to get more than he
does-the salutary discipline of
steady work, or self-denial CT

the governor Of the state could exercise

few days later the pardon was returned
to the mayor. Vaughn says it was secured
by some of his friends who went to see
Mayor Dahlman. He says his trouble arose
in drunken fight, but some of the wit

assault. ,.. ....
Mayor Dahlman, under the law. has the
right to pardon prisoners sent to Jail under
