Tho History Of lntsrest.

BY 'usury" the ancient teachers
meant any interest that was exacted
by the lender Of money from the bor-
rover solely as the price OF the loan.
Those who lent money at per cent,
or even l per cent. were committing
usury quite ms really as those who lent
It at 40 per cent. The old time preju-
dice against interest was based on the
theory. at one time quite universal.
that money Is sterile by nature" and
that, therefore. TO exact profit from 1t
is both absurd and unjust. For centu-
ries pretty nearly all the authorities in
church and state were committed to
such idea. and II was not until quite
recent times that the old error was ex-
ploded.-New York American.

an early recovery. The development

without difficulty by the use OF local

were justified when the premier ex-

The head was deformed from striking

THE PUBLISHERS DREAM.

Last evening ! was talking
With a publisher aged and gray
Who told me of dream he had
just the other day.
While a-snoozing in his Office
The vision came to view:
He saw an angel enter, dressed
In garments white and new.
Said the spirit: "I'm from heaven,
The Lord has sent me down
To bring you up to glory;
Put on your golden crown.
MANY merchants you've made
richer
(From few received full pay);
While you've grown poorer and
poorer
Your business did decay.
So we need you up in glory,
For you have labored hard
Until your brow is hoary-
You've earned great reward"
Then the angel and the publisher
Started toward the golden gate;
But when passing close to hades
The angel murmured, "Wait-
Here's a nook wish TO show you
It's the hottest place in hell,
Where the dubs who beats the pub
Usher
In an awful torment dwell"
The publisher saw before him
Old patrons by the score;
And easy chair and fan he grabbed,
And asked for nothing more.
He sat and sat and watched them,
Saw them sizzle, scoarch and burn;
And his former debtors saw him
Whichever way he'd turn.
Said the angel: Come up higher,
And the pearly gates well see"
But the publisher only answered:
This is heaven enough for me"
The main lesson to be derived from
the above is-Have you paid your
subscription to The Broad AK?

Choral practice in singing is one
of the most practical and useful ex-
periences a singer can have, as IT
improves his general musicianship,
especially along the lines of sight
reading. Self-control is cultivated by
the necessity for careful listening,
for steadiness of rhythm and for
quick adjustment. To singers who
are backward in reading at sight, this
practice is invaluable.

MOTIFS PEKIN THEATRE.

Handicap Wrestling Match.
SAMPSON VS.. lila VINCENT.

The wonderful showing Vincent
has made among wrestlers having
met with no defeat has aroused in
tense interest among his many ad-
mirers, who are more than anxious
to find out just how good their idol
is, have induced Manager Leon Motifs
to stage this star bout. After spend
ing much time and a large amount
of money, he was able to come to an
agreement with Sampson, Germany's
strong man and a wrestler of inter
national reputation. The articles call
for Sampson to throw Vincent twice
in 80 minutes or lose the match. In
putting a man of SIMPSONS size and
weight. which is 265 pounds, it looks
like asking too much from Vincent,
whose weight is 1o5, but Vincent has
supreme confidence in himself that no
living man can throw him twice in
80 minutes, regardless of the great
amount OF weight he is conceding to
such a great wrestler as Sampson.
All who are fortunate enough to see
these great athletes in a grueling con-
test will see the wonderful Black
struggling to sustain his unbroken
record and defend his reputation
Justly styled the BLACK. Panther"
There will be several preliminary |
bouts between noted mat men, COM
