Don't Steal Another's Time.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Don't steal another's time. You do
that every time you are late to an en-
gagement, and what is worse you do il
by failing to keep the truth. Punctual-
ity is a form of truthfulness.
Like most business virtues, punctu-
atty rests on the virtue of truth. Bust
ness is truth. Truth is business. No
business succeeds without truth in the
long run. and punctuality is a business
virtue because business turns and rests
on keeping engagements. obligations and
promises. A great merchant-One of the
very greatest trade has known-said once

risks he had to rum but in finding 90.

is plain enough what he meant 1.-The
world is full of 'S:O5 men," he YEARLY
added. The world is full and so are the
halls of failure and the whirlpool OF
disaster of men who are five minutes
late, when they ought to be five minutes
early. Such men rob themselves and
the other man. They waste what never
returns. They burn what no man can

The Drought Broken.

Rarely has rain been SO welcome to
Washington as that which began to fall
during the night. This break of long
drought brought hope to those who were
beginning to despair. relaxed overweight
nerves, gave promise of relief from the
menace of a failure of the milk supply
and lessened the danger of disease COM
munication by dust. For several weeks
Washington has been at the mercy of
clouds of finely pulverized dirt, blown
about the streets and into the houses and
into the lungs, with infinite possibilities of
disease communication. The lack of rain
too, dried the watercourses in the coun-
try and caused the use of old cisterns and
wells and Increased the possibility of
typhoid fever communication. The rain
that has thus far fallen today is merely
the traditional drop in the bucket COM
pared with what is needed, but it suf
fees to give assurance that the long
trying. dangerous dry spell is over and
autumn is really here at last.
