going home to dinner saw $40 bill
ON the curbStone He picked 1T up
noted the number and went home to
dinner. While at home his wife re
marked that the butcher had sent
bill amounting to $40. The only
money he had was the bill he had
found, which he gave to her and she
paid the butcher. The butcher paid
it to a farmer for calf the farmer
to the merchant, who in turn paid II
to a washwoman. and she, owing
the banker a note of $40, went to the
bank and paid the note. The banker
recognized the bill as the one he had
found. and which to that time had
paid $50 worth of debt. One careful
examination he discovered that the
bill was counterfeit. Now what was
lost in the transaction and by whom?

CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY
There never was a preacher or presi-
dent, poet or politician who could
please everybody. There never was
a tinker or tailor, soldier or sailor
who could suit us all. Show us
merchant or sawyer who pleases
the whole multitude. The Lord him
self and all the angels in heaven
have never half succeeded in com.
forting the human race. There is
not thing on earth or any where
else that meets the approval of all
mankind. Then it would be nom
sense for editors or correspond ents
to fret when their honest efforts fail
to please certain few. Write with
some Judgment, an honest purpose
and decent pen, and the majority
of sensible people will rise up and
call you blessed.-Belzonia News

THE PLACE TO MEASURE A MAN

THE PLACE TO MEASURE A MAN
The place to take the true meas

fireside there he lays aside his mask
and you may learn whether he is an

dog. I care not what the world
SAYS of him-whether it crown him
boss or pelt him with bad eggs.

A REMARKABLE STORY.-One CT
the most remarkable stories In recent
criminal annals has just come to
light from Baltimore DIR. George
Worthington, man of aristocratlc
birth and lineage and good social
position, was sentenced to serve a
long term i'm the penitentiary. Dur
ing the whole time of his confine-
ment in prison he contrived to keep
hiE aged mother in ignorance OF his
incarceration, and she went to her
grave without knowing of his crime
or it's consequences While in prison
he kept up a. frequent correspond
ence with her, dalu:dng her into the
belief that he was travelling in Europ
and his letters, descriptive of what
he saw ON his travels were models
of style and erudition.- Vicksburg

NO INDICATION OF BRAINS-W

tors within the last six months,
says an exchange. One told us our
heart beat too fast, another that Il
beat too slow, while another said Il
beat anything he ever saw. One sale
our liver was out of whack, anothel
told us that our digestive organs
were all run down, and we failed to
understand this, as we knew that
they had not been running on more
than half time since the panic STRUCK
'em. One said our lungs were not
able to purify the air. We got mad
at this and told the doctor that ne
was a blamed fool if he expected our
lungs could purify the air about
this place. We thought we had en-
largement of the brain, as that
seemed to be the leading trouble
among most people these days,but
not a blasted one of them even init
mated that we had any brain at all

Severe PUNISHMENT.


Rev. H. G.. Hawkins received let
ter last week from lieutenant com
mander Kittrell, executive officer q
the battleship Mississippi, stating The
colored engineer who insulted Mr..
Hawkins while that gentleman wa
on board of the vessel at Natchez
had been punished by being reduced
from an engineer of the first class
to fourth class. This is severe pun
ishment, but it is not more severe
than the offense deserved.
While on the battleshiq Mr.. Haw
kins asked the engineer a civil ques'
ton about some feature of the ship
The reply was pert and offensive
whereupon Mr.. Hawkins, who was
accompanied by several ladies, rath
er than precipitate trouble, turned
away from the man. But this did
not end the unpleasant episode. The
colored engineer followed and was
even more offensive than before
Mr.. Hawkins then got his name and
the names of some sailors standing
nearby and Immediately reported the
matter to the commanding officer
who assured him that steps would be
taken to punish the offender. The
letter last week shows how faithful
ly he kept his promise.
Being reduced from first to fourth
class means loss OF about half pay

A MOTHERS CARE.-The young
man who says if he wants to drink
liquor it's nobody's business but his
OWN, probably never thinks of the
pains and heartaches he causes his

though he has disgraced her life and
broke her heart. Some of the best
and noblest christian mothers that
ever lived have simply been crushed

A Chicago man who has large
number Of employees under him has
posted up in the various departments
of his establishment cards which bear
the above caption and the following
terse rules. These make it very plain
what he expects and what he does
not expect of those who draw sal
aries from him:
Rule 1. Don't lett wastes my
time and yours. I'm sure to eaten
you i'm the end and that's the wrong
end.
Rule 2.Watch your work, not the
clock. A long days work makes a
long day short. and a short days
work makes my face long.
Rule 8. Give me more than l exf
pect and I'll pay you more tha
you expect. l can afford to increa
you pay if you increase my profft
Rule 4. You owe so much to yo&
self that you can't afford to owe
anybody else. Keep out of debt or
keep out of my shops.
Rule 5. Dishonesty is never an ac-
cident. Good men, like good women, :
can't see temptation when they meet
it.
Rule 6. Mind your own business
and in time you'll have business of
your own to mind.
Rule z. Don't do anything here
which hurts your self-respect. The
employee who is willing to steal for
me is capable. of stealing from me.
Rule s. It's none of my business
what you do at night. But if dissi-|
patton affects what you do the next
day. and you do half as much as / |.
demand you'll last half as long as you
hoped.
Rule 8. Don't tell me what I'd like
to- hear. don't want. valet to my
vandty, but / need one for my dollars
Rule 10. Don't kick il l kick-i

worth while keeping

A FAKE-In speaking of the let
ter, purporting to be from Christ,
which the Record and other papers
commented on recently as being a
flake" DIR. w. J. McGlothlin, pro
lessor of history in the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, says:
81 never saw or heard of such a lette
It is a fraud, and very modern and
clumsy one at that. Some OF the
marks of fraud are such phrases as
4 command you to go to church.
when the word church was not used
of the house of worship for two or
three centuries after the time OF
Christ. The Identification of the Sab
bath, the seventh day, with the Lord
day. the first day, is another mark OF
fraud. The two days have always
been kept perfectly distinct in Chris
tan literature until quite recently.
It makes the keeping Of the Sabbath
a means of obtaining forgiveness OF
sims. which is anti Christian. The
use of Saturday as the name of the
seventh day was impossible in the
time of Christ. He called it SABBATH,
not the heather name Of Saturday;
also the use of the term of Good
Friday There are other marks OF
fraud but these seem to me enough.
