Getting Into Moral Debt.

Philip D. Armour. millionaire and
philanthropist, continually warned
young, men against getting into debt.
He loved free men and despised slaves.
When asked II he admired a certain
brilliant orator he said: "He may have
q superb voice and fine presence, but
can't you hear the rattle Of his chaln1
That man is not free. he Is under
moral obligations that demoralize him.
he IL not speaking the deepest thing
IN his soul, and I haven't time to hear
any slave talk. I want a man to be
just as free as I am"
On another occasion he said: Don't
get into debit mean moral debt. It
IL bad enough to get into debt finan-
cially. There goes a young man who
is mortgaged. That young man is leg
cling it along with a debt, and it will
take twice as much power to get him
along as the man without a debt.
There r other debts and obligations
that are embarrassing in their entan-
clements. Don't get into debt morally,
my boy; don't get into debt 81 that
you may not exercise your freedom to
its limits"

the razor o n the extreme end Of his
nose. Calling his wife. he asked her

The elder soon had the cut covered.

Fifteen million rats, and every one

in a quaint encounter with a pan

had asked him for a dime, when the
following conversation took place:

Excuse me, but are you the gent

Inertia Of the Nerves.

The researches and experiments Of a
French scientist have led him to the
conclusion that the cerebral nervous
system Is incapable Of perceiving more
than an average Of ten separate i'm
pressions per second. After each ex-
citation OF the nerves . period Of In
ertia follows, lasting about one-tenth
of a second, and during this period a
new impression cannot be made. Ac-
c0rding to the Investigations Of this
scientist a person cannot make more
than ten " at the most a dozen sep
arate voluntary movements Of any
kind in a second, although the muscles,
independently Of the will, are capable
Of making as many as thirty o. forty.

All 10 Not Lion That Roars.
A negro was arrested for stealing
coal and employed a lawyer of loud
%oratorical voice to defend him in a
Justice court.
"That lawyer could roar like a lion,"
the negro said. II thought he was CO.
ing to talk that Judge off the bench
and that jury out Of the box. I got
n continuance and hurried up to
burn all that coal and hide the EVIL
dence. Then came the day Of my trial.
That roarin' lawyer went up and whis-
pered to the Judge. Then he came
back and whispered to me:
"sYou better send that coal back or
you'll go to jail.'"-Kansas City Star.
