Gives Lord Half.

HI. O. Roberts, who conducts a
hardware store at 103 Western ave.
n, Minneapolis, was distrustful of
his fellow men as business partners,
so he drew up a written agreement
with the Lord.
This was on May IL, 1893. The
inscription on the fly leaf Of his ledg-
er of each succeeding year is this:
Il promise that, as the Lord shall
prosper me, | will act as his steward
and give to him as follows:
eff rnake $1,000 annually, $500;
81, 800. $3.50; $1,000, $500; $1,000,
1925; $4,000, 81 1000; $4,000, $500. "
Roberts claims that he has pros
pered by carrying out his agreement
until he has reached the last men,
toned figures.
He says he has no desire to 90
back to his old method Of doing bus
mess before he made the agreement,
and in fact would be afraid to do so.
for he is certain that his present
business would never have grown to
its proportions if he had continued
along the old lines.
