Below We are publishing a clipping
from an unknown exchange, handed
to Us by n friend-a manufacturer
who thinks it is splendid guide for
those who labor for others. 1t is
worth reading worth laying to
heart-worth following.
Debt is a foe to a mans honesty.
While you may be generous, see that
you are also just. Do not give away
what does not belong to you. This
has moral bearing on your obliga-
tions. There is no doubt about it,
nc thing more effectually robs one of
his best energies, takes the bloom
from his cheek, and peace from his
pillow, than pecuniary obligations.
If the people would only make
push in the beginning, instead of
the end. they would save themselves
much misery. To be solvent, well-to-
do, comfortable and happy, get ahead
of your expenses. Eat and wear this
month what you earned last-not
what you are going to earn next
month. Many are SO unfortunately
situated they cannot do this No
man can to a certainty guard against
i'll health. or insure himself a we'll
conducted, helpful family, or a per-
manent income. Friendships are
broken over debts; forgeries, and
even murder, are committed on their
account. Debt blounts sensitiveness
to personal independence, and is
a source of continual annoyance.
1t is hard master A strict atten-
h, tiOn to these little moral obligations,
of a pecuniary nature, will throw q
brighter light into the CONNER
cial world, and give a Joy to bus
mess that q great many do not now
experience. If you must go in debt,
pray do not do it thoughtlessly, and
then guard your obligation as you
would your honor. This is one way
to make the world look brighter.
Following is the article above re.
ferred to:
The devil of debt seems to be on
the heels of almost everybody. The
bookkeeper' in debt. Ditto the type,
writer. Same with the porter and
tHc III hS tOI tIlc
tendent, he can't remember when he
wasn't. The office boy would be in
debt if anybody would trust him
And all of them complaining and
acknowledging the miserableness oil
their condition. Debt is a mortgage
on your salary. Debt is monument
to young mans weakness, a grown
mans failure in the University oI
Life. Debt is discounting tomorrow &
opportunity for today's good time
Debt is a quit claim deed to your
wife's confidence, your children's am
bitiOn and your own self-respect
Debt is guaranteed insurance policy
against happiness. "Then what ART
we going to do?" says a chorus O
young fellows and business men anG
aspiring women, and laborers and
clerks, and managers, and street cal
conductors, and hundreds more. Dc
without it! 1t will take some back
bone. 1t will take some genuine
courage. But you'll be able Co hole
your bead up-and that's more thar
you can do now, and you know it.

Improved Method of Turpentine
Harvesting.
Greensboro Daily Record.

Greensboro Daily Record.
The turpentine industry OF the
South, which has been threatened
with total destruction by reason OF
the injurious old-fashioned methods
of cutting and slashing the trees to
get at the product, has received a
boom in the new system OF cup and
gutter tapping, tested by the De-
partment OF Agriculture. The pro-
ducing forests have become so de-
pleted OF thrifty trees as to have
caused much concern. The move
ment southwark of the center ofgreat-
est production has been like the pro-
gress OF consuming forest fire, rails
ing the question as to how long the
staples species of virgin timber will
last. The former Georgia operators,
now in Florida, are producing heavi-
ly, but how long this crop will last
can only be guessed at II the old
methods of producing prevail. The
department has established, by ex-
periments that the cup and gutter
system yields 80 per cent more pro-
duct, does not weaken the trees phys
ically and leaves them in a thrifty
condition.

tomorrow may find you beyond the

Don't Worry about anything that is
happening today, because today will
last only fifteen or twenty minutes.
Don't worry about things you can't
help, because then there is no need to
worry. Don't worry at all. II you
want to be penitent now and then it
won't hurt you; it will do you good.
But worry, worry, worry, fret, fret,

Why a Cat Falls on lta Feet.

A scientist has constructed an inge-
NOUS model to show why u cat in fall
Ing Invariably alights on its feet. This
model, roughly speaking, consists of a
cardboard cylinder wherein are stuck
four rods to serve for legs. together
with a tail devised on similar princi-
pies. The object of the experiment
ts to show that a feline's peculiar fac.
ulty depends on the rotation of It's tail
with sufficient vigor,
This faculty is specially developed
by climbing and leaping animals, such
as members of the cat tribe, monkeys,
squirrels, rats and most lemurs. AS
already stated, the tail plays an i'm.
pOrtant part In the turning process.
According to the investigator all tree
inhabiting monkeys have long tails,
and there is not the slightest doubt
that these tails are of great aid to
all climbers In enabling them to turn
In the air. The tail also serves as a
balancer. as evidenced In the case of
squirrel, which may be seen walking
along tightly stretched wire or
string, swinging its tail from side to
side, much after the manner of tight
rope walker balancing himself with o
pole.

PRAYED JUST TO KILL TIME
Blind Chaplain ImpIored to Keep at "

There is a good deal of quiet laugh

made by Rev. DR.. Couden when ne
was chaplain of the house Chaplain
Couden. who is known as the blind
chaplain. having been totally blind Tor
nearly half a century from bursting OF

pleader, making an appeal to the Most

this particular prayer he was depioring
undertaking, and told the Lord all

to mind a prayer made by chaplain
a good many years ago, which was re-
called by member of the house, who
stated he had actually forgotten VINO
made the prayer or who was speaker
at the time. He only remembered the
incident 1.-THE journal clerk, relates
the member, rushed into the house
and up to the desk while the chaplain
was praying. The chaplain stands
right beside the journal clerk while he
prays. The clerk looked over the pa
pers on his desk in very hasty man
ner, and then leaned over to the chap
lain, slamming his papers about all the
time, and said Keep on praying. we
can't find the Journal
"Mr. Chaplain was so startled that
he faltered in his prayer, but after
moment he seemed to grasp the STU
alton. He bowed his head still lower
and continued to pray. The usual
time devoted to prayer in the house Is
about one minute. Members began to
shift uneasily on their feet to look at
| their watches, and, instead of bowling
their heads In reverence, they looked
at the speaker pleadingly. The speak
er. evidently, had been informed OF
the difficulty, and, realizing that the
business of the house could not pro-
ceed without the journal, he was will

were getting restive, and he looked
down to one of the clerks.

Early's dash in Washington was one
of the daring enterprises of the great
war. The north was waiting impa-
tiently for Grant to take Richmond.
The capture of Washington would
have meant increased foreign compli-

have meant recognition of the Con-
federate states by the European pow
ers. 1t would have been a sentimental
blow to the Union and would have
meant irreparable loss Early after
