TALKS ON THRIFT

There is a Negro story of tur-
key who, every time it showed,
drew his feathers about him and
firmly resolved to build him a
house. But before he could de-
eide where to build, or what kind
of house, the sun came out and
he would shake out his feathers,
strut around and say to himself ::
Nobody wants to be in a house
a day like this" and the result
was he froze to death one winter
might.
There are a lot of people in the
same frame of mind as the turkey.
When things are going wrong,
work is slack, times are hard,
sickness or accident comes and
their money is gone, they firmly
resolve that in the future they
will take care of their money and
look for the rainy day; build
them a house, as it were; but as
soon as things right themselves
they forget their good resolutions
and the next time Of need finds
them as i'll prepared as ever.
Most Of us are merely grown
up children. We want what we
want when we want it. We live
day by day. Tomorrow is va
que uncertainty to us. The boy
will gorge himself with green APP
Piles in June and forget that there
is a physical law against eating
green apples. Tomorrow he will
lind it out, and may resolve not
to eat green apples again; but a
good resolution never gets man
anywhere unless he keeps it..
Many a New Years promise is
made only to be broken and
pledges are signed only to be for
gotten. How many man has re-
solved to quit drinking when
drinking has brought him in
court! He should have stopped
before.
Thousands of men have firmly
resolved that they would start a
savings bank account, made de-
post or two, and then quit. An
examination of the books of any
savings bank will show a large
number of accounts with but one
deposit. 1t is mute evidence OF a
good resolution broken. A certain
father with two children had
them insured in an industrial in
surance company. He concluded
that he could save the money he
was paying for the insurance
some other way and decided TO
put it in a savings bank, and pro-
ceeded to open an account for
each child. The first was the last
deposit ever made. The insur-
ance collector ceased his visits and
the fathers good resolution to
save for the children stopped with
his coming, and today they are
without either a bank account or

insurance.
The rainy day comes to every
man. No matter how long it may
be delayed or how distant it may
seem, or how bright the sky to-
day, trouble is bound to come to
us all, some time. A certain
young man, full of energy and
ambition, with as bright prospects
as a man ever had and highly sue
cessful, made the boast that he
never expected his income to be
less than it was at that time; but
inside of three years it was moth
ing. He thought he had a life job
and it had every indication of be-
ing such, but the props went from
under, and at forty he had to be-
gin building all over again. He
does not boast now.
The turkey in the story was no
more foolish than a lot Of human
beings. The difference lies in the
fact that the turkey takes what
is given him, or what he can find.
We have the power to choose. We
are in large measure masters of
our own fate. The beaver and the
ant have the right idea; they
build their houses, fair weather
or foul, knowing that having a
house they can go into it when it
rains or stay out Of doors when it
don t, as yea like. You are safe
either way.
