Wichita, Kan.-Sardis, Miss, has the

son of the Rev. s. B. Butler, B. T. s.,

certain when an emergency arises.
Dollars are queer things. They can
be made slaves to bring the most they
are capable Of carrying. On the other
hand they are capable of exerting the
most tyrannical mastery over men.
There are men who would not drink
nor swear, who hood their faces when
grace is being said and are capable
of being perfectly genteel las long as
you watch them) until they hear the
musical sound of dollar. No sirene
ever sent as many men to destruction
as the tinkle of gold, for some men
would risk one hand between the clos
ing doors Of hell to get just another
one. Of these we speak to call atten-
ton to what can happen. But for the
most part it is we'll to have few.
They are as prolific as mice. Once
get them in a good place, they will
breed. It takes long time for their
young to mature, but they do. And by
some magic they let their fellows
know the people who are good to
them, so that they will come to him.
When a man does not treat dollars
right they seem to enter into a con-
spiracy to get away from him and to
scurry' to some place where they rest
and breed. Dollars stay with some
men as long as water stays on a ducks
back; they learn to hate these people
and like to mock them in their old
age and misery by not coming around.
To those who care for them they are
grateful and when old age and friends
depart they will try to bring warmth
and comfort to you.
Strange as it may appear, they
talk to men and men will not desert
so long as they are around. If it be
thought that a man has no dollar
friends, his men friends get deaf and
cripple and have gripping of the
fingers; but let it be known that he
suddenly discovered many simolen-
ions, behold the ears Of the deaf are
unstopped, feet become tripping and
fingers are nimble to attend his de-
sires. a..
The man who has everything he
wants now will usually want what he
can't have away up the street of life.
1t is a good plan not to get broke at
the first booth; they look prettier
just in proportion as you are without
means. Spend a little and save a lit
tie. Everyone can save something,
and it does not take much to start a
nest. A nest does not amount to much
anyway; it is what you put into it. A
dollar week is just fifty-two dollars
more at the end of the year than if
you spent them all. There is banker
in your town who will let you in on
some per cent stuff if you talk to
him. Bankers are the best people in
the world to encourage people to save
money; they like it so well it is hard
for them to see how anyone can be
Keep your credit good,
for that is great capital, and save
some. You can't beat the game by
saving and not paying, for they get
your number and then you are dead
beat, but everybody knows them; they
may puff up and strut by, but every
body just laughs. Spend some and
save some; they breed and remember
you when you are old.
