However, there may be a secondly
and thirdly to be offered IN connection
with this text. The best part of a
good living" is the making of it. The
normal man takes more pleasure in
the earning OF an honest dollar than
he does in the possession of it, and
letting go it again-putting it into
a good use-is the only way such a
man can add to the pleasure his money
can bring him.

In similar manner, it is the run
ming of the race that adds to the
strength of the runner-not the win
ming of the prize, nor the reaching of
the goal The man who writes a song
or a sermon gets more good out of it
than does any of his auditors, and
though he may sell his song or earn
a salary by his sermon the mental
effort required for their production
is the most profitable part of him.
The salary man, indeed, be used to
add to his avoirdupois but it adds
nothing to his intellectual or spiritual
stature.

STORY OF A FORCED LOAN.
The Way Zapata Gave the Bankers Of
mexico Two Surprises.

One morning Zapata, the Mexican
leader, issued two proclamations. One
was a prohibition edict closing the
saloons, the other a command for the
bankers of the city to assemble for a
conference.
The bankers attended the meeting.
They went in fear, dreading confisca-
ton of their deposits. Only a few days
before the armies of General Carran-
"a had collected a forced loan" of
100000 pesos from the banks. What
mercy could be expected of the bandit
header? Zapata's speech was short and
to the point.
'Catalleros," he said, my men are
hungry. | want $4,000 pesos to feed
them for "a few days. You will pay this

order for the money"

Thankful to escape with such mod
est demand, the bankers did as they
were ordered. Zapata kept his part OF
the bargain, and for months the city
was better policed than it has ever
been since Porfirio Diaz was driven
from Mexico. But this is the strange
part of the story-strange to one who
knows the system of confiscation
which has bled the business men of
the country:
