How to make hard times soft:
Everybody get out and push. Start

Don't put things off any longer. Pay

Hard times are caused largely by
everybody getting in the dumps.
Folks who need new clothes decide
that the old buds will do another sea-
son. Firms requiring improvements
decide they will wait until things
get better" Business houses curtail,
retrench and don't do a thing thai
isn't absolutely necessary. Producer
and buyer alike get into blue funk.
Then they blame the trouble on
everything else except themselves.
OF course, one must make allow

CHAPTER II.
Sr. JOHN THE DIVINE,

CHAPTER II.
And there came one of the seven
angels which had the seven Walls, and
talked with me, saying unto ME,
Come hither; l will shew unto thee
the judgment OF the great who're that
stitch upon many waters:
2. With whom the kings of the
earth have committed fornication,
and the inhabitants of the earth
have been made drunk with the wine
of her fornication.
8. So he carried NE away in the
spirit into the wilderness: and l saw
a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured
beast, full of names of b1aspnemy,
having seven heads and ten horns.
- 4. And the woman was arrayed in
purple and scarlet colour, and decked
with gold and precious stones and
pearls, having a golden cup in her
hand full of denominations and filth
ness of her fornication:
s. And upon her forehead was a
name written MYSTERY, BABYLON
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF
THE EARTH. -, So
~ g. And.I saw the woman drunken
with the blood of the saints, and with
the blood Of the martyrs OF Jesus:
and when saw her, I wondered with
great admiration.
Z And the angel said unto me,
Wherefore didst then marvel? | will
tell thee the mystery of the woman,
and of the beast that carrieth her,
which hath the seven heads and ten
horns.
8. The beast that thou sawest was.
and is not; and shall ascend out OF
the bottomless pit, and go into perdl-

OF cher first and only error" The
villagers were satisfied in their own
minds that the girl was not worthy
OF honorable conlLanionship.
Had the local editors and the visit
ing newspaper men mentioned her
name in connection with the case it
would have blackened her future to
that inky hue that rarely Is erased.
But they did not. Not a single
newspaper mentioned her name
merely referring to her as girl
mentioned by witnesses.
1t was better so. That girl still
has her good name outside Of the
village, where no one knows what
error she might have made. The
newspaper men gave her boost in,
