ness that prevented her sleeping by

shattered and she grew thinner each

Toward spring the decree went
forth that she must have the sun

A GAME.

ed; we leave the wheelbarrow loose
in the yard and the clothes hanging
on the line all night: and as a rule
We are not molested or robbed. We
are relieved of the necessity Of devot-
ing time and attention to securing
ourselves against the aggressions of
others. and we are thereby enabled to
give time and attention to the pleas
ures. the comforts and the ideals of
life. This is possible because We have
confidence in our neighbors.
Most of u business is possible be-
cause of confidence. There are plenty
of cynical maXims against trusting
anyone. but in actual practice we come
across a few persons whom We do not
trust to ON extent. The merchant,
OF course. gives out goods on credit,
and without security. secure in the
confidence hat he will be paid. The
customers take weights and measure
ments n qualities for granted. And.
while an occasional customer ahsconds
without paying his bills. and an oc-
c%asional dealer is guilty Of corrupt
practices. probably all but a small
fraction of n per cent Of the BUSH
ness of this kind that is carried on is
conducted squarely and honorably.
In the payment of obligations al
most all of the transactions are based
on confidence. We accept without
question in payment of Indebtedness a
piece of paper bearing a mans sig
nature. We have confidence that in
the bank on which that paper is
drawn is credit which will be trans.
ferred in such a manner that it can
be realized in cash or other credit.
Seldom is this confidence misplaced.
For every million dollars worth Of
credit handled honestly in this way
a few dollors' worth-a very few, will
be represented by bad checks.
One of the familiar business maxims
taught is that no paper ought ever to
be signed without being read carefully
word by word. Every business man
violates that maxim every day. lie
signs all sorts of papers without more
than glancing at them. Once in a long
time a man finds that he has signed
something that he did not intend to
sign, and that he has lost money by 50
doing. But for every such experience
there are hundreds of thousands in
which confidence has been justified,
and in which the man who had an op-
pcrtunity did not take advantage Of it
to the detriment of his neighbor.
