the way, from the Japanese Imperial State railways, in open competition with Germany and England, for several mill lion dollars worth of locomotives. That gentleman went to the locomotive shops of the Imperial railways, and the Japa- nese master mechanic said to him: We can make locomotives much cheaper than you can in America Can your inquired my friend. If so, let us get at the facts If you will tell me from your cost sheets precisely what your locomotives cost, will tell you what ours cost And, by the way, he said: What makes you think your locomotives cost less than oursT Why he said, because we only pay one-fifth the wages to our men that you pay to yours.
 So they got the cost books, and found the fact was that the labor cost for loco motives on the same specifications was three and one-half times greater in he Japanese shop than in the American shops And that is perfectly normal fact and not an abnormal one."

 The credit system in some respects is a boon but 1t has ruined many a nan.
 Credit makes it easier to buy than when you have to pay spot cash.
 But settlement day comes.
 You must pay for everything you get in this lfe-everything. You pay down or you pay later on. But you payl
 The easiest and best way to get ,hirgs is to pay you go because in some way or another you must settle.
 See that man., you say. He has stocks and bonds and buildings How 1 envy him." But that man has raid for everything he possesses: maybe in seepless nights, in sweat of brain. in lost peace of mind-he has paid in full, CT must pay.
 It is the law of price.
 That spender of the Great White Way lawful pleasures? He pays. He pays the price of his manhood.
 The lazy loafer. the drunkard, the gourmand; they pay. and pay heavily.
 And whoever tries to cheat nature pays. If it is by overwork or excesses he pays. If he does not pay cash In hand he rays a fearful rate of interest on the principal, And pay day comes
 The greatest fallacy ever held by the human mind is that you can get some thing for nothing.
 Pound for pound, ounce for ounce, to the last driblet-you pay.
 Therefore it is best, if you can, to pay as you go. If you make a. failure be glad that you got out even and try 1t over.
 Moreover
 Is there not some compensation in tnm law of price? Why should a man ask for more than Is coming to him? Why should he expect to buy and not pay? And it ist not worth while to get by earning?
 If you work for what you get and get what you work for you are as good as any man who works and gets. sFs

CE of the most powerful short
 stories written by the late o.
 Henry was called 'The Guilty

stories written by the late 0. O Henry was called 'The Guilty Party
 Like many of his stories, the scene was aaid in the east side, New York, on which e'as twilight falls Satan sets up his re- cruiting office."
 "'Papa, won't you play a game of checkers with me, if you aren't too tired7' '.rhe red-haired, unshaven. untidy man eitting shoeless by the window answered, Fwith a frown:
 "'Checkers No, won't. Can't man svho works hard all day have a little rest rwhen he comes home? Why don't you go out and play with the other kids on the sidewalkT

 Which is. the first part.
 And the sequel?
 Ten years later Lizzie, who had taken her fathers advice and found her enter tainment on the streets. in a fit of drunk en frenzy kills her lover on account of Jealousy and commits suicide.
 And this is Henry's dream"
 He dreamed he was in the next world and sees Lizzie brought to the Judgment bar. And the angel prosecutor says:
 You haven't the guilty party. He is that red -haired. unshaven, untidy man sit ting in his stocking feet by the window while his child plays in the street.

 Possibly. But there's the moral:
 Oftentmes it is the parent who is really guilty of the child's delinquency.
 Play with your children. It is as much your duty as to feed them If you would safeguard them make them your play mates, your conndants. your chums. Let home, not street influences, dominate.
 Moreover, playing with your children will help to keep you from growing old. There is no better tonic than association with the light heartedness, the enthusi- asm. the play of children, $1

 Barefoot days!
 Remember the time when you fairly preathed through your bare feet, when to wear shoes meant suffocation? How IL K drious pool of water. how lush the dewy grass!
 To be sure
 Sometimes the ruts of the road made locomotion slow and cautious and the sand grew hot in the middle of the day. And sometimes there were thorns in the wood pasture! Remember how you sat down and took the poor foot into your lap-the slow dripping tears tracing a channel of clean illness on the sole-and plucked the thorn away? And then. limping off mindful of the stone bruise on your heel, how soon your hurt was forgotten! Thorns? Occasionally, but weren't the roses sweet in those oden. golden days' An, that thou shouldst know thy joy Ere it passes, barefoot boy!
