rowing and a always will. The law can
not help the man who has not been
wise enough to establish his credit and
reputation for industry, trnthfulnesH,
economy, and integrity. Those are
factors which have enabled poor men to
get credit and prosper. The Law can-
not make a good man, financially or
morally, out Of a man who is below par
in either or both respects. S
No individual, no bank, no govern
ment, could consistently provide for
making loans except where repayment
is reasonably certain.
1t is expected that the provisions of
the law will prevent disastrous panics,
although 1t cannot prevent times of de-
preston. 1t will simply keep the fl
nancial system from breaking down
when panic strain comes. The new
law is designed to add to the safety Of
banks which hold the peoples money,
not to add to the income Of individuals
by some slelght of hand method. The
government seeks to make the deposit
tories Of the people absolutely safe, and
places where they may get their funds
when they want them. 1t has not pro-
vided a way for a man to getIwhat does
not belong to him, nor to borrow the
money of other people except on good
security.

The Tightwad

We one knew q man who was too
stingy to take the newspaper in his
home town, and always went over to
borrow his neighbours paper.
One evening he sent his son over to
borrow the paper, aud while the son
was on the way he ran into a large
stand of bees, and in a few minutes
his face looked like a summer squash.
Hearing the agonized cries of the
son, the father ran t his assistance,
and, in doing SO, ran into a barbed wire
fence, cutting a handful of flesh from
his anatomy and running a $4 pair of
trousers.
The old COW took advantage of the
hole in the fence, got into the cornfield
and killed herself eating green corn.
Hearing the racket, the stingy mans
wife ran out Of the house upsetting a
four-gallon churn full of cream into a
basket of kittens, drowning the whole
flock. She slipped on the cream and
fell down stairs, breaking her leg and
q $40 set Of false teeth. The baby, left
alone, crawled through the spilled
cream into the parlor and ruined q $40
parlor carpet. During the excitement
the daughter eloped with the hired
man, taking the family savings bank
with them.
The moral is that every man should
be a subscriber TO his home newspaper.
