BEWARE OF lMPOSTORS

Not long ago foreigner in cleri-
cal garb appeared at my door and
asked me to commend the work he
was doing. He showed his Gre
dentials, consisting of letter sign
ed by some one who said he was
HISTORIAN Archbishop, of Jello and
Kurdistan, letters signed by Turk
ish consuls at Liverpool and Glas-
gov. declaring the belief of these
officials in the genuineness OF the
first letter and numerous other let
ters from officials and ministers in
the United States and Canada de-
claring belief in the genuineness of
them all.
| examined these credentials and
did not believe that they were gen.
uine. If they were, that was no
reason for encouraging him since
the HISTORIAN church is one OF the
very lowest forms of so called chris
! tianity. When | declined to give
him a letter of commentator he
became furiously angry and said
many things in so poor English
that l could not understand them.
One thing | caught, however,
declaration that he was minister,
ordained by a bishop, and that
there are no real ministers who are
not so ordained.
! Only few DAYS later a notice
appeared in the Christian Observer,
of Louisville. This bears so we'll
on the case that | append it.
The people of our county will do
well to remember this before being
humbugged again. V H Starbuck
"Warning-We have information
to the effect that Orienta's, repre-
senting themselves as Christians
and collecting funds for orphanges
and other worthy causes in the
Orient, have appeared in the South
and are visiting some OF our
churches for the purpose OF collect
ing funds. During the year OF two,
with the assistance of Rev. |. M
Yonan, of Persia, we have exposed
some of these men as impostors,
and had them shipped out of this
country. Our advice to our people
is not to contribute one cent to
them. If they are impostors (and
every one we have examined was
an impostor), the contribution is
wasted. If not, the calls of our
own Church through our regular
channels are just as important and
pressing, and the contribution Will
be spent to more effect and with
less waste. 1t is a wise rule to
follow, to make all contributions
for religious causes through the
regular channels of the Church. "

"The record which the Demo-
Gratis have made in this Congress,
from the first day to this hour, has
been an inspiration to the Democ-
racy of the whole country, and has
laid deep the foundation of the
victory which we expect to win in
November. This splendid record
has been heightened in the past
few days by the passage through
the House over the Presidents

Community Of "sWappers."

Members Of the Jacket colony, state
Of Massachusetts, poor whites de.
scended from Frenchman who set
tied there before the Revolution, are
indignant over the action of the state
police In preventing the exchange OF
a wife Of one of the leading Jackets
for horse. The Jackets would rath-
er barter than eat. A patriarch had in
dulged his propensity of swapping I'M
til he had nothing left but his clothing
and his wife. In exchange for horse
he gave his wife to his brother. The
horse was worth S.. Twelve hours
later the patriarch snapped the horse
for another horse. His brother took
the woman to Brocton, and his efforts
to swap her for anything Of equal
value attracted the attention of the
police. They made the patriarch take
his wife back, but the brother protest
ed that the exchange was made In
good faith.

STEP TOWARD FAILURE
BORROWING MONEY MEANS LOSS
OF sELF-REsPEcT.
Wise Advice Given by Commodore
Vanderbilt ls Worth Remember
Ing by Young Men.

In the business world men are
sometimes compelled to ask accom-
modations" at the banks and OF their
friends. They exhaust their own cap
ital through circumstances perhaps
beyond their control, and need help
to meet the emergency. Their ousi-,
ness warrants their borrowing money.
Yet these men In private analrs
would no sooner borrow dollar Oh
their friends than they would steal II.
They value their self-respect ana the
friendships they enjoy too much.
In addressing a meeting OF the
heads Of departments Of his railroad
lines, Commodore Vanderbilt empha-
sized the necessity of maintaining
self-respeot and friendly relations. He
told them that the easiest way to sac
rif1oe both was to borrow money OF
one another, and concluded his al
dress with the words: BE under
obligations to no man, II you would be
independent, preserve your self-re-
speot and your efficiency, and have
the confidence Of your fellow en-
ployes and your company" He Illus
trated his point by citing an incident
that had come under his personal OBJ
servation. He said that two young
men in the employ of the New York
Central railroad were fast friends un-
til one, to crafty q momentary desire,
borrowed a considerable sum OF the
other. He intended to pay the money
back but unforeseen circumstances
prevented his doing so, and, instead
of frankly telling his friend why he
could not repay him, he held aloof
from his company. He finally avoided
meeting him. When they passed on
the street he looked at the sidewalk.
He had lost self-respect. He felt that
he had lost a friendship that he
priced. When the time came for pro-
motion he had become SO inefficient
in his work that he was left behind
and finally dropped out of the service
of the company and almost out OF the
| memory of his friends.
The story Of this, young man Is the
story Of thousands Of others who,
without full calculation Of the conse.
quences, borrow money, generally Tor
purposes that are not necessary, and,
unable to repay the same, suffer the
consequences which they should have
anticipated. Such men become the
down and outs" In the business and
industrial world, and in social circles
They become failures not because
they are not capable but because they
sacrificed the very things that are es-
sential to success-as Commodore
Vanderbilt said, their independence,
and self-respect and efficiency. and
the friendship Of their fellow men.
