FRANKLIN UP-TO-DATE.

rT was many years ago that simple old Der
Franklin put these words of wisdom in nj
! Poor Richards Almanac, but they are quit
S applicable now as then.
At this time when the general complaint is
that "rnoney is scarce" it will be an act of
kindness to inform the moneyless how they
may re-enforce their pockets. Two simple
rules well observed will do the business.
First, let honesty and industry be thy con-
slant companions; and, secondly, spend one
penny less than thy clear gains. Then shall
thy hidebound pockets soon begin to thrive.
Then shalt thou be man and not hide thy
face at the approach of the rich nor suffer
the pains of feeling little when the sons OF
fortune walk at thy right hand
What signifies wishing and hoping for bet
ter times We may make these times better,
if we bestir ourselves Industry need not
wish, and he that lives upon hopes will die
fasting. There are no gains without pains;
then, help, hands, for have no lands, or II L
have they are smartly taxed. He that hath
trade hath an estate; and he that hath
calling, hath an office of profit and honor, as
poor Richard says; but the trade must be
worked at and the calling followed.
The way to wealth, if you desire it, is as
plain as the way to market. 1t depends
chiefly on two words, industry and frugality;
that is waste neither time nor money, but
make the best use of both. He that gets all
he can honestly, and saves all he gets, neces-
sary expenses excepted, will certainly become
rich, if that Being who governs the world,
to whom all should look for blessing on
their honest endeavors, doth not, in his wise
providence otherwise determine.
Remember that time is money. He that
can earn 10 shillings day by his labor, ana
goes abroad, or sits idle, one-haf OF that DAY,
though he spends but sixpence during his div
ersion or idleness, ought not to reckon that
the only expense-he has really spent, or
thrown away, shillings besides.
With our industry we must be STEADY, set
tied and careful and oversee our own afalfs
with our own eyes and not trust too much TO
Others for, as Poor Richard says, Three re-
moves are as bad as a fire, and again, Keep
thv shop and thy shop will keep thee, and
again. If you would have your business done,
90: if not, send. Trusting too much to 9TH
ers care is the ruin of many, for in the affairs
of this world men are saved not by faith, but
by the want of it.
Friends" says Poor Richard, the taxes
are indeed very heavy, and, if those laid on
by the government were the only ones we
had to pay, we might more easily discharge
them: but we have many others and much
more grievous to some of us. We are taxed
twice as much by our idleness, three times as
much by our pride and four times as much by
our folly, and from these taxes the commls-
sioners cannot ease or deliver us.

The man who does not advertise because his
grandfather did not, ought to wear knee breecnes

The man who does not advertise because it costs
money, should quit paying rent for the same rea-

The man who does not advertise because he
tried it and failed, should throw away his cigar
because the light went out.
The man who doesn't advertise because ne

Since Paris has refused to sanction the fad for

maintaining it to the utmost.

catalogues arrived in Redwood Falls last week.

such poor Judgment they have ever acquired such
tremendous growth as they have since their
modest starting in Chicago many years ago.
