ALITTLE SERMON.
.rHE VALUE or A coon NAME.

The other day a man went into a
bank and asked fol a great many
thousand dollars He had securities.
No bank would have Oaned money with=
out them; some banR IS would not have
loaned the sum desired with them. He
had also good name in the business
world. He was a truth speaker. He
always kept his obligations. Men knew
that what he promised he would do.
and the good name was as valuable at
the bank as the stocks and bonds he
offered. There was no hesitation about
advancing the money.
You cannot put cash value on a
good reputation. Ii is something that
can only be gained by years of common,
rugged, aggressive honesty. The men
with good names scorn small tricks and
petty meannesses. No matter whether
they are selling cotton or steel bridges,
they assert. ''ours is a gentleman s
trade, and live it.
ANY business that deserves to succeed
can be conducted on the lines of rigid
honesty. The men who mix conscience
with trade dignity commerce, and add
to their capital the esteem and conf
dence of their fellow linen two things
that adversely cannot sweep away; that
are more valuable THAI vault full of
dollars.

rhe New stramberry Bed.

For starting a strawberry bed the
soil must be well prepared and the
plants well selected and fresh and live
ly, Then proper culture must be given
for the next fou months.
Above all things. set only good
plants. You may have bought plants
at high prices and have the feeling
that you cannot afford to lose them,
yet If you find them wilted, showing
no sign of vitality, the only thing is to
throw tbehl away, says Iowa Home
stead.
1t only adds to your expense and
final disappointment to set out half
dead plants, Better face the loss now
and set only plants that show life.
Then the culture must be constant.
Keep the soil loose and fine as a gar
den until August.
Let the planter be guided by those
principles and then be prepared to
mulch his beds when November comes,
and he will be reasonably sure of a
crop the second year.

Instead of the common and wheel
