FOLLY AS IT FL.
HOW ONE MOTH WAS DRAWN
FROM THE BRIGHT LIGHT.
Gay Young Rounder Needed Only to
Have His Feet Set in the Right
Direction and the
Plain Path.

Setemup didn't draw any dividends
from bowling alleys, saloons, or the
aters; but he was free spender, and
made welcome by all the prroprietors
of such places.
One day Setemup got moody and
sad. His clothes were glossy, and
since he couldn't be relied on to do
good work because he stayed cut late
at nights and often came 20 work with
a bad headache, lie had not been pro
NOTED for Is mcatts. Further, Set
emup was penli!ezs and owed three
weeks beard bill,
Setemup began TO think. Thought
produced action, and he went To see a
wise old uncle Va Cftea gaze hifh
good advice, and "a oa one occasion
rescued him cut of the hands CT some
relentless loan sharks.
aHew How?" sal the uncle. Why
so sad?"
I'm nearly down and out" was the
reply. 4 can't keep good habits.
somehow, and l cant save.
His relation scratched his head an!
rendered for a few minutes. Then he
said, - ike you because you have tie
elements of a rIal in you. I'll help
you by giving you an inducement to
save your money For every dollar
you bring me inside the next two
years I'll add half 2 dollar. It'll cost
me some money, but guess it vii! be
worth it.
Fired by the ambition Of making
such easy money, Setemup neglected
his old haunts at the bowling alleys,
the saloons, and the theaters. inside
a month he brought his uncle few
dollars, which the old man promised
to put carefully away for him and add
the percentage promised And he
kept on bringing his uncle all the
money he could spare.
The habit of saving and the virtues
it necessitated soon showed itself in
his appearance. His clothing was good
and we'll kept His eyes were bright
and healthy. What most pleased him
was the fact that he began to be ad-
Vanced regularly, and before the two
years were up he had become assist
ant to the head of a big department.
At the close of the two years Set
emup went to his uncle to draw his
money. The sum was so large Cnat
ae protested the old man had been
adding more than he should.
Are you satisfied?" was the query.
Perfectly" was the reply. 81 never
expected nearly so much"
well, I'll be honest with you, The
money just handed to you represents
your savings alone with accrued in
:erest Lately I've met with some re
verses, and am unable to add my pro-
portion; but I will later.
"In this world" said the uncle,
habits are the real giant forces for
good or evil. I simply helped you to
establish one good habit, and 10! like
magic, all the rest of the virtues fol
lowed in its train. The forming of
one good habit and sticking to it often
will help a man to make good head
way in a manner faster than he could
