In It's essence this reasoning OF

to be a negation ~ some OF his other

that pleasure is merely negative, be-
Ing nothing but the relief arising from
the temporary cessation Of our pain
and desires In his works he dwells
on the miseries Of life and upon the
almless striving and irrationality that
are everywhere manifested.
hut he also teaches that relief from
the oppression Of life may be found in
the contemplation Of works OF art and
IN listening to music. And in his say

Mr.. Wickliffe received his edu-
cation in the Blandville and Mil

Judge Sam Jenkins at Blandville.
He was admitted to the bar in
1888, and later formed a partner
ship with the late Judge r. j.

TO practice before the Supreme
Court of the United States.
He served one term as attorney
of Ballard county, and is one of
the many who has made his
county famous as the home of tat
ented and brilliant men.
An attest that he is well and
most favorably known to the
voters of this district was the
splendid vote he received six
years ago, when he made the
race for the office he again seeks
TO fill.
Having practiced law for more
than twenty years, he has had
a thorough and comprehensive
understanding of the principle;
of Jurisprudence.

MERCHANT AND HIS CREDITS.
A Good New Years Resolution is TO
Pay Every Debt You Can.

A travelling salesman was remark
ing the other day that he had sold
the usual quantity of goods the past
few months, in spite of the war and
other depressing causes. But he
had found many of his customers
hard up because of the unusual
humber of requests for credit. 1t
was his opinion that in both good
and bad times the American people
are getting in too easy habits about
payment of bills.
1t is not always the hard pressed
workingman on short time who dod-
ges the bill collector the most ac-
lively. Many of the well to do are
habitually slow pay. They make re-
quests for further accommodation
with the air of comforting lordly
favor.
When the victim of i'll health or
other misfortune asks for a bill Of
goods on trust, it is often practical
ly a request for charity. The mer-
chant fails to see why he should
carry the whole burden of the COM
munity's misfortune. So he charges
up to his whole trade the expense OF
bad debts. Thus the frugal and
thrifty, who may live even parsl-
moniously are compelled to pay for
luxuries for the eXtravagant.
There are of course some appli-
cations for credit that are legitimate.
People have to take risks, start out
on new ventures with small capital,
seek better positions, or industry
would stagnate. If fortune goes
wrong, creditors must wait reason
able time. But when people on wag-
es or salary bank on their dreams,
they commonly go broke.
Many people, finding a ten dollar
bill in their pockets, feel sanguine,
step high, and send the tradesman's
wagons hustling with deliveries to
their homes. The fact that old &C
counts are due is forgotten
The best New Years resolution
is to pay every debt you possibly
can. even if you have TO wear your
old clothes to church. ; Thus con-
Guided the salesman whose remarks
suggested these reflections, and he
was right.
