GOOD THOUGHTS FOR TODAY.
Nv Ran Eranklin,s Thriftoprams.


BY Ben Franklin 3 Thriftograms.
Save and have.
Every little makes muckle.
Little strokes fell great oaks.
A rolling stone gathers no moss.
God helps those that help themselves.
Spend one penny less than thy clear
gains.
Look before or you'll find yourself
behind.
The way to wealth is as short as the
way to market.
He that waits upon fortune is never
sure Of dinner.
Money can beget money, and its off,
spring can beget more.
It is foolish to lay ont money in a
purchase of repentance.
Learning is to the studious and riches
to the careful.
Waste neither time nor money, but
make the best use of both.
Remember that money is Of the pro.
life, generating nature.
All things are cheap to the saving,
dear to the wasteful.
If you would be wealthy, think Of
saving as well as getting.
Beware Of small expenses; a small
IN sink Is great ships
A penny saved is twopeiice clear
A pin day is groat a year.
