There are two ways of spending
a dollar. You can spend it at home,
gain an easy conscience, make an
other friend and perhaps get the
dollar back tomorrow, OF you send
it away, feel that you have sinned,
offended the home merchant and
forever lose the dollar and the
blessed influence for good to your
self and neighbor.- Orangeburg

Riggs went to his bank and drew
the money-in twenty-four crisp, tight

neither spoke.

disgust at this companion. Upton

etfected-475 shares for $4,000.
Riggs threw himself into the cab,
and leaned back and closed his ewes.
