THE WEIGHT OF THE ROPE.

A large man aud a small man want
ed to get at the bottom Of canyon 70
look for gold
The walls were precipitous, and the
only way down was by means Of a
rope. II was decided the larger man
should lower the smaller one.
As a precaution the rope was put
about the lighter man, anS he was
lowered a little way TO a slight shelf
and each time was easily drawn up
by the man at the top.
So far SO good.
Finally the full descent was made in
the manner agreed upon. But when
the small man wanted 10 get up again
-horrorsi-the man at the top could
not pull him.
They had failed TO reckon on the
weight Of several hundred feet of rope.
In the story is a touch Of human
nature.
A business man. fairly prosperous.
grows discontented with his slow but
sure progress toward Independence.
He decides upon a coup. He buys far
beyond his ordinary ability TO pay, de
pending upon a phenomenal trade
which he confidently expects. The
custom does not come TO his counters
as anticipated. Unable to meet his
bills. the first thing he knows he is
! down in the canyon Of Debt. he can
not get up save as the referee In bank
ruptcy pulls him out.
Too much rope.
Another man speculates on the board
OF trade He has made a little money
in the bucket shop and decides that
the old humdrum methods Of business
are too slow for him. He wants easy
money. One day be is at the bottom
Of the canyon Of Speculation. 1t was
sudden descent. He can't get out
because Of
Too much rope.
Still another man forms the habit OF
drink When he gets the habit be is
in danger. but does not realize it.
Can't he quit when he wants to? The
. rope will pull him out. But the coils
grow heavy. and when he gets to the
bottom there is
II Too much rope.

Too much rope.
1t may be stated further that the
small man who went down In the

BERLIN, March 25-American tourists

Hill, American ambassador, IL he seems
a bit cross nowadays. Dr. Hil is face to
face with situation that some 100000
folks dislike facing every spring or fall in

Dr. Hill has been forced to look for a new
home, due to the fact that the American
embassy has been sold by the owners. is
convincing proof that the great United

homes that are not on the market for
wreckers. DR.. Hin by calling into pay all

the meantime he is tramping the streets OF
Berlin, pulling doorbells and asking If the
