The point to this is-when you
are beginning to make your life,
when you are still young and have
many ideals, put temptations be-
hind you. On the surface of
things it looks very easy to make a
great deal of money dishonesty.
1t is very easy to rob another per-
son. It is not difficult task for q
bright person to forge checks, to
counterfeit bills, to raise bills, or
pilfer what really belongs to anoth-
er. The mere doing of these crimes
is not the hardest part of them.
Their penalty comes later in the
inevitable reaping of what they
have sown.
This harvest is not merely start.

law. but within their own minds.
The instant a wrong is done, the
person who committed it has no
longer peace of mind. He may
outwardly smile as he faces the
world, but this smile is a false one.
Inwardly he is filled with fear. He
is suffering the worst kind of
agony, and often it is a relief to
him when the law steps in, exposes
his crime and causes him to be
punished for what he has done.
There have been criminals in this
world who have given themselves

torture of their minds. Exchange.

still serving.
The thousands of dollars which
this man accumulated dishonesty,
did not prove of any value to him.
The genius which could counterfeit
United States money, the most
skillfully patterned money in the
world, was of no benefit to him.
He had a little temporary pleasure,
a little false enjoyment, and then
swift punishment. If he had taken
mis- brains and applied them to the
proper working of a farm, to the
conduct of a store, to the operation
of a machine shop, he would not

There was his opportunity. The
world was still open to him. He
had reaped his harvest for his first
great offense. He had paid the
penalty, but there was still a chance
for him to redeem his name. From
the prison he went to Pittsburgh,
and thence to New York City.
There we're railroads which would
have used his brains, banks which
would have been glad to have
them, shops and stores in which he
could have earned an honest living,
but he was not in New York City
two days before he was engaged in
the counterfeiting business.
This time, with the aid of others,
he foated three-quarters of a mill
lion dollars of counterfeit money.
His share was $500, 900. After re-
ceiving this money, he determined
to be honest and quietly spend the
last of his days. He went to Eu-
rope, making his first home in
London. From there he passed to
Berlin, and from there to St.
Petersburg, where agents of this
government finally arrested him,
and he was returned to this coun-

The Reaping of the Harvest

A farm boy cultivates a quarter
or half an acre of land during the
crop-erowing season. and earns a
profit of twelve or fifteen dollars.
He has worked under the sunlight
in the freshness of the wind, and
yet, he is discontented with his
financial reward. The thought runs
through his mind that he should
have earned more money. that the
soil is not honest to him. He for
gets that perhaps he did not do all
he might have done to increase his
profit.
He wishes to be rich quickly,
without doing any great amount of
work. Now, from some points of
view that is very easy thing to
accomplish. In my experience
with the government, / knew a
young man who was not willing to
till the soil, who did not wish to
work on a railroad, who did not
care to be with any large business
house, still he needed money, and
wanted enough to make him com.
Portable the rest of his life.
He was an expert photographer
and engrayer. He conceived the
idea that he could counterfeit
money-the money of his own
government. In four months
time with the assistance of some
confederate, he produced $780, 900
in counterfeit bills, which he
passed upon people who did not
know if they were genuine. His
share of the illegal profit was $780,
600. Apparently he was protected

MOTHERS DAY

are the basis of all truth. If we
fail it is always because we neglect

Mother. Everything she taught
us contained the elements of char

living in happiness are always
those who considered it privilege

Mother feel that all the sacrifices

are not husks, rather are they as
the breath of the woodland violet

message of love to hearts grown

Let us make Mothers Day more

How proud she was of the

At noon the telegraphic dfspatching
system between Efwood and Logans-
port, distance of about As miles, was
still suspended.
Trains had great difficulty operating
over the division north of Richmond
for time yesterday because of the
numerous poles which had fallen
across the tracks and because Of the
handicap imposed by the wrecking Of
the telegraphic dispatching system.
Railroading on this part of the divis-

according to members of. train crews
who operated over this line, and all
trains were hours off their schedules
That disastrous wrecks did not 'occlir

Until recent years she was a mem

church.
On August 10, 1867, George ]. Mich
olson and Naomi Davis were united
in marriage. For nearly so years they
walked side by side sharing with each
other the joys of life, combating the
tolls and trials of life as well. So
many years of such bliss in compan-
ionship with lives interviewer, makes
the separation all the harder to bear
the loss more keenly felt.
About five years ago she with her
husband united with the Methodist
Episcopal Church IN Greensboro, in
which church she remained a faithful
and active member until her death.
Although modest in disposition, yet
faithful to all household and church
duties. She was cheerful in spirit,
and in her sickness bore her suffer

depart, and making arrangements for
her funeral. ''@ "''s '''
