GOOD CREDIT

The finest thing a man can have is credit at the store; it is a balsam and salVe for every mortal sore. The customer Who pays his debts when due has shining fame; he is the best of all good bets, the merchants all eXclaim. And when misfortune dogs his heels, as it will visit men. and he is shy of plunks and wheels. of kOpecks, dough and yen, the mer- chants say, Buy what you will, and we will gladly wait, till you are fixed to pay the bill-we know that you are straight" The man who doesn't promptly pay the merchants what he owes, on the appointed settling day, all kinds of trouble knows And when misfortune takes his trail and hands him sundry knocks. and he is shy of dust a kale, of rhino, scads and rocks, the merchants say, We cannot sell to gents like you on time. for when you're prospering quite well. you won't cough up a dime" Poor credit all your virtues queers, and gives a punk renown, and. though you live hundred years, you'll never live 1t down

OUR DUTY TO THE RICH

Now there are many of us who think ought to better the Mexicans as well as the Haitians. It seems rather odd that have developed keen better the much abused unhappy rich in country.
 In fact, We have sOrely neglected the rich We do not pity them for all their ries. all the incumbrances with which they load themselves, and thus make themselves slaves O their wealth. Here is a long suffering class right in midst.
 The rich tell that they happy know it. The rich tell they suffer from in- digestion and all the other temptations which money places constantly before them. We know it.
 The rich tell us that money is a curse. These people live under cursei We know it! And do nothing help them.
 We ought to reason with the rich and point out to them the of their We ought to visit them and tell them just where they We ought realize how powerful is gold and ask them try-just try-to curb their appe- for the horrid stuff.
 Unfortunately the rich. like the worthy poor, proud Unlike the worthy poor. the rich have strong and powerful buffers who paid bounce any who seek to divert the rich from their crossing pursuits Such obstacles, however, ought a spur to fervor.
 The rich would probably advance the argument that since money is curse, it would be evil give others the of misery. It is like asking a man with the measles to give away his microbes.
 No problem, however. is too great for the native born foreign born American. We must establish settlement houses where the rich together We start boys clubs to catch the young early We must interest the girls a youthful age when their minds crystazed.

A toothpick is an instrument of torture-not to the man who uses it, but to those who watch him. It is the unpolitest table tool known. Men who eat their soup with a suction dredge accent and try to make food and conversation pass on a single track road would shudder at the idea of using a toothpick in public.
 Men who have served in the war and who can defend themselves against d dozen men with a cavalry sabre become pale and nervous when a stranger pulls one of these terrify- ing table implements on them and retire hastily.

 Yes, said the Englishman, T put on five sovereigns. What did you put on?"

 I hope you wouldn't do it. If you DO you may set it down for future reference that you ought to see a physician-or better-let a physician see you
 For, Sir or Madame, there is some thing wrong with you. There's a belt off in your upstairs pulley system, and while the doc might not be able to locate your trouble he might be
 able to make you THINK he had and if you had the usual faith in Docs. it might help SOldE.
 It is not for YOUR sake that I ask you to go to the Doc for repairs. It is for the rest of us that I appeal When you are chronically disposed to HUNT trouble-to BORROW dis aster-you are an unnatural animal degenerating- going backward every day and dragging along a lot of pure minded, natural thinking workers of the world
 I think the Doc might help you He
 might be compelled to inoculate you with blood drawn from some cheerful animal-say puppy-anything that would change an evil forecaster for the better, for it's a certainty he could not be made much worse You have daily heard men bawling out things that were GOING to hap pen-"c cussin' out on futures" is what it is-a coming story Any one so searching always finds that for which
 he looks.
 I'd go down there tomorrow if I didn't think it would rain: 'T don't
 dare leave the house alone, some one
 might rob it.; I'd plant a garden. i but l know it wouldn't do any good";
 I'd ask sister to come and visit us put she might get worse here; this Clifton strike will ruin the

 might faiP'-every day you hear such
 nonsense. Those people nearly always
 realize on their fears, too They thus attract the evils-they are coming to them and I hope they will get them
 but the others who seen light and try
 to follow it must suffer because of their evil wishes.
 There is some fear within ALL of us-yet l think of those who con-
 tain nothing BUT fear, that they
 should be examined and if found be- yond human aid they should be quiet
 ly but finally exterminated. I would
 recommend a heavy shot of laughing
 gas to start with-this might be given
 three or four times each day and per
 haps that would get them into the
 habit. There's hope for a laugher
 any time. You can't make an evil
 prognosticatOr laugh-it would frac-
 ture his face-and serve him right that.
 I don't believe there is any Hell
 for the most of us, though I think
 that some special arrangement has
 been made for evil forecasters-I hope
 so, and that it will prove WORSE
 even than the HELL THEY ARE
