 Louise M. CrandaIl's Address.
 Louis M. Crandall, principal of the Norwich Commercial school addressed a meeting of the Putnam Business the subject of Salesmanship and Busi- ness Efficiency. MT. Crandal was heard with particular interest, not only for the value of his address, but as well on account of the fact that he lived in Putnam as a young man.

 Some Object to Fountain. Mayor Archibald Macdonald has he'd his attention called to the desire of some to have the drinking fountain, in Union square removed on account of the ever present danger of horses de- veloping glanders from using a com mon drinking place. There have been no cases of the disease hereabouts, however, as far as is known. The fountain is a. great convenience and it cannot well be removed without supplying some adequate substitute. Friday afternoon five different horses, all from out of town, were watered there within ten minutes and scores of animals quench their thirst there during the course of a day.

Out in Chicago l hear of strike by the carpenters for. wages. of. seventy cents an hour, because they say they can't live on the :sixty-fve cents an hour they have been getting!
 The average farm hand of today gets better than double the wages the writer IShave quoted saved $14.95 out of,-and the said average farm hand doesn't save dime of it. Says he can't. At least those in my bishopric say so. -.-
 I know man who used to earn, and spend, about $9,0OO a year. Cir cumStances,-no matter what they were, not under his control,-suddenly and sharply reduced his earning power to $185 one year.
 And he lived the year through on it, lived himself and supported three oth- CT people,. He never pretended that he lived as he wanted to, or that he had all he'd have liked. He didn't set up his experience as a model, nor assert that everybody should always live at that rate.
 Simply, he preferred to live with erything in the line of luxuries and much in the line of comfort, rather than beg, borrow or steal.
 Really, the question of saving de- bends a great deal less on the amount of ones income on the vigor of ones thrift

they shall continue to nave what they want. later, when the evil days come and income is reduced.
 Right there is where the worst fea- ture of the sorry affair shows itself. The very people who show no self restraint; who yield to every desire which happens to blow through them; who exercise no forethought; who make no attempt at any form of in surance against future need; who spend every day or week all the day or week has brought in,-these are the ones who, when earning power is lessened for any cause and income re- duced, turn upon their fellows who have shown self-restraint and fore sight and economy, and either Whirn- per at their doors for help or assail them with virulent abuse and blatantly demand that they turn over a share of their savings.
 The other day, at public meeting in New York city to consider the case of the unemployed, one young man turned theft. He averred that he couldn't get what he called decent" wages; that it cost him at least ten dollars a week to live; that he couldn' t find anything which would bring him in that sum, and that he should steal
 
 it, till they got good and ready to pay him what he assumed he was worth. He expected to be caught, some time, and sent up the river", meaning to Sing Sing prison, but he'd rather do that than work for less than what he felt he wanted.
 Whereupon an older man in a back seat sprang to his feet and entered a protest. He was, he said, a carpenter. He was good one. too. and had earned big wages when employment was plenty. Now it happened to be lacking. He had been unable to find a job at his trade at any sort of wages. He was, like hundreds of other skilled workmen in the big city, temporarily out of work and without income. But he had saved a little when he did have work. In one of the city workshops, started to tide over the winter for those like him, he had found, some fifty cents a day. It-ywas hardly one tenth of his normal wages. But it helped and he chad found that he could, by the strictest- economy, actu- ally live on 1t. till something better offered. -
 Also, little as it was, he earned it. He didn't steal it: he didn't beg it: he was prouder of that paltry half dollar which was manfully earned and got more solid comfort out of it. than ne could out of any dollar doled out in charity or dishonestly~ obtained.

 "The sure and straight road to in- dependence and success is saving money,-and it's the only one. Make no mistake about that" So said the other day, a markedly successful bus mess man, who began as workman's helper at a bench in the big shop he now owns in full.
 There's no use quoting Benjamin Franklin and Poor Richard" The very mention of their 'old-fashioned' philosophy would provoke a sheer on the faces of the new generation. But let me clip two paragraphs from a re- cent letter by one of the most inf1uen- tial and really successful men out weSt:-

For the first time since I have

He seemed to think he owed an
apology to someone for lending

you that / don't feel a bit like do

A man said to me the other
night (by the way. I believe 1t
was Jim, himself) see,
Margie, it's all mixed up" and he
was right. You can't lay down a
set of rules that will apply to
everyone, and Dick should know
perfectly we'll that where 1t might
be wrong to borrow money of
some people, 1t was all right at
this time in this case.

Jim when l came in and while the
