HELP THE TOWN..
Some of the Virtues in Friendly Riv.
airy Between Merchants.

Good, healthy competition and
friendly rivalry, devoid Of all spirit of
hoggishness, is a good thing for any
town. Each and every business man
and property owner in a town, and the
country Immediately surrounding It
should be intensely interested in every
project, particularly should every mer,
chant be active in matters that means
general prosperity for the place, and
which will increase trade for all the
merchants of the town. People gen.
orally like to do their trading in towns
where there are well kept stocks and
plenty variety of goods, and where
there is sufficient competition as to
assure low prices consistent with good
business judgment. There is little use
for the merchants of a place to blow
and brag about their business, unless
they can demonstrate that they are
delivering the goods and satisfying
their customers There Is no good to
be looked for by merchants decrying
the goods and the methods of their
brother merchants, There is no more
effective way of killing the business of
a town than by fostering a spirit of
petty jealousy and of narrow selfish.
ness, Wherever such a spirit Is found
it will be discovered that trade is be-
ing turned 10 ONE other town where
merchants and business men work

GIFT NOT ALL A GIFT.
Generosity That Was Purely the Re.
suit of Accident.

A missionary bishop told this story
about F. Marion Crawford, the famous
novelist:
"Mr. Crawford went to school," he
said, Gin Concord, and one day he was
taken to call at a Concord clergy
mans.
THE clergyman had a missionary
box on his drawing room table, and,
time hanging heavily IN the boys
hands. he amused himself with try.
ing whether a silver dollar-it was
all the money he had in the world,
and he had converted it into that 81.
gantic coin for safety-would go into
the slit in the box's top.
at was a close fit, but unfortunate.
ly it did go, and the coin slipped out
of the embryo authors fingers. There
was a terrible crash of silver falling
among the coppers-and then the boy,
as the novelists say, knew no more
when he came to himself he found
the clergyman and his family in rap
lures over his generosity"

Sure to Have One.

Lincoln Steffens. in an address on
municipal politics, said in Chicago Of
a certain city:
That city is as notorious for its
ro%ttenness as the town of Pebbles is
notorious for another characteristic.
Here is an incident that will give
you an idea of the reputation of Peb-
bles.
"On a train n day a man rushed
into a car, held up his hand for atten-
ton. and shouted excitedly:
Anybody here who belongs to
P~ebbles?'

Some Of the Methods Used for Secur.
ing Money Dishonesty.

Millions upon millions of dollars ara
fraudulently taken from the pockets
of the people year after year through
the operation of confidence men. The
schemes used by these men are numer.
Gus. Nearly all are based upon the
fact that the average person is always
willing to take the best OF a bargain.
During the past few months swim.
dlers have been operating in different
parts of he country, and their method,
while a modification Of an old swim
ding game. has some new features
worthy of notice. Their usual proceed
ure is to locate farmers who are not
we'll known to local bankers and loan
men. They approach the farmer and
under pretext of seeking to purchase
farming land, manage in some way to
secure his signature. This is general
ly done by inducing him to write a
letter, or to sign some statement.
once h signature is secured, a ficti-
tious deed to the farmers land is pre-
pared and this is fixed up in such a
anner as to show the seal of some
notary Or other officer. Then with
this deed the swindler is in position to
negotiate a loan upon the land. This
game has been successfully worked in
a number of western states.
Residents of agricultural districts
should be continually on their guard
against the signing of receipts or any
kind of contract which may be pre-
sented to them by strangers. Within
the past year some smooth swindlers
have succeeded in securing thousands
of dollars on fraudulent notes, secur-
ing from farmers. who were foolish
enough to take for trial washing ma
chimes, refrigerators. etc, and to give
their receipts for the same. These re.
ceipts turning up later as negotiable
notes.
The writer Of checks cannot be too
careful in filling in the amounts. The
favorite methods of the check receiver
is to insert after the words Six
seven eight or mine" the letter
'y'' or 'ty" and change the ciphers In
the check accordingly. Thus it can be
seen hat a check written for eight
dollars. by the addition of the letter

dollars and the changing of tn.

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue Is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place in the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict
ly analysed professional etiquette"
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col
lectively."
Among the things that sis best for
the doctor" is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance o only OF
what it is taking for it's ills, but fore
ing a call upon the doctor each time
a prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague.
You had it last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
what he has given o for the disease,
and so each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him an oppor-
tunity to repeat his prescription-in
Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
If you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions. why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. 1t will be a
dissertation that you nay not be able
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
1t would be a good thing for the pub,
lie to devise a little code of ethics OF
its own; ethics hat will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one of the rules Of this
code of ethics to you, the individual.
You call in the physician when you
have the ague. the grippe, or n of
the other ills to which human flesh is
