YOU MERCHANT.

Just let the people gain the i'm
preston one time that your bnsi.
ness is not paying, that you are 60
ing backwards instead Of forwards
that you are blue and impetuous
and that you are pressed for
money and you have done enough.
The rest will be done by the sher-
if and the court officers. People
love TO trade and do business with
q concern that is prosperous, grow
ing, pushing, succeeding and that
is optimistic. Buyers like sheep,
flock together and they flock to
the house that is advertising and
bidding for trade. They will not
excuse the merchant who for the
sake of saving a few dollars re-
trenches in the dull season, cutting
down his usual number of clerks,
failing to dress his show windows
and stopping all his advertising.
Nothing succeeds like success and
nothing attracts the people like
apparent success. If you are not
making money you must at least
try to keep up appearances and
give the impression that you are.
When your heart sinks within you
it may seem strange, but it is
ever the case-the hearts of all
your customers turn from you

Every man ought to desire to be
well-to-do He has right to ex-
pect TO be, if he is honest and in
dustrious-and his wife is thrifty.
The plain people of the south have
the great secret of success, from a
domestic standpoint, yet to learn.
1t is hidden in the word "thrift. +"
1t is said that Benjamin Franklin
made New England wealthy by
teaching the people this lesson.
Thrift lays by a little money, no
matter how little, and is not dis
couraged if the pile does not grow
as fast as hope had had it. Thrift
buys homo, even if fine dresses
and costly parties have to be dis
pensed with. Thrift never wastes
anything; it saves the odds and
ends, making use of the scraps,
whether they are of clothes, or
victuals, or time. Thrift educates
the children, if not at great
schools, in the neighborhood
school house; if not there, in the
home. Write that word large
above your heart-stone: THRIFT.

President Rooseveit's insistence

If man Is down, don't kick
him further; give him another

Tense, and at heart he may be good
and strong and clean; he may have
been too strongly tempted, and
have fallen, OF in a moment of
blind passion, aroused by some IN
justice or injury, he may have
struck down his fellow man. Take
the human heart, its fallings and
passions into consideration before
you judge man, and consider that
you might have done the same I'M
der the same circumstances then
give him another chance. You
may be wrong III doing SO, but it
is better to err OF the right side
than on the opposite one. If you
would hold out strong, helping
hand to your fallen fellow man,
many would be saved to be made
good, useful men; but should you
turn your back on him and con-
denim him for the one error, be
would probably go further on
down, down, and yours would be
the blame. -
