BRADSTREET'S

New York, Jan. 1s.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: .......
Willingness to do business on a large
scale has been restricted by heavy
snowstorms in the west 10y intense
congestion in railway facilities, which
has made it well nigh impossible to
ship fuel or other supplies and finally
the fuel administrators order closing
plants for five days and every Monday
for ten weeks has thrown vast numbers
out of employment. Under the cir
cumstances it is obvious that the week
has been marked by considerable I'M
settlement, but after the first shock it
is quite generally recognized that the
fuel administrators order. while drastic
measures was necessary and the gem
eral tendency is one of patriotic obedi-
ence to the mandates of the order. In
fact, local administrators at many of
the larger industrial centers. knowing
full we'll that numerous plants had
been compelled to close down for want
of fuel had already adopted eNpedients
to conserve supplies, the iron and
steel industry having been particu-
larry DeSet. however, the country
essential industries are heavily back
logged with orders and ii is hoped that
when railway and harbor congestion is
relieved industry will again be enabled
to go forward with vim. AS for some
time past governmental business takes
precedence over everything else. In
ordinary trade circles jobbing business
has been curtailed by inability to get
shipments with which to fill orders, but
potentially there is large volume of
business in sight. House trade which,
of course, results from the buying of
visiting merchants has been retarded
because meteorological conditions have
crippled travel; but, on the other hand,
country merchants, especially in the
surplus, crop growing regions, have
bought freely of staples, their stocks
being low, and in consequence travel
ing men are forwarding good sized
orders. Indeed buying from the coun-
try districts is marked by recorders and
by requests to hasten shipments of
spring goods.

realized that he held not one page, but
two. They had become stuck together
In some manner, and Donald had not
perused the second page.
1t was IN the form of a postscript,
and was the last sheet of the original
manuscript, which Masterman, In his
characteristic way, had inserted after
the first. He had written:

to the Christian Herald.
The cherries old fellow with the

prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap and we are apt to
think we can t1lch It as we will. But
1t Is always ourselves we rob, not
time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
By being late In keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, IL any, Is your
own affair. But 1t also is the affair Of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. II your time is worth
less, maybe his is not. He may con-
clude that his time is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases II may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether 1t matters or not.
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that 1t does not mat
ter even when 1t does.
Only the idle and careless. whose
time Is Of the least value. can AFFORD to
waste 1t by looseness In keeping en-
gagements.

can be done. and It Is worth while to

Nature had no more use for them, now

Never had such a spectacle been
