Why is money- like a• cur dog? Be
cause it's faithful.
Money asks no questions, it de-
mands no references, it never in-
quires s into one's moral character,
does not care whether one is a
preacher -Tigan or a porch -climber;
never hesitates to help, neither haas.
it the habit of looking the other a'aa
When one wants anything it s1laielTt-
wa
yoes and nd r
bets it, whether ita
prayer boob or a tit. oi`" tobdcee.
When one is lungry it gets, one food,
when thirsty it gets that waieb satis-
-flea: when one is cold it furnishes
clothing, when shelterless it furnish: -

weary it provides a restnii, place,'
When travel and change of scene is

So—put money in thy wallet.
Only the incompetent need be
poor. Must some of us plead guilty
to the charge of incompetency? As
sure as taxes, when :the time collies
that the bottom drops out 01 things;
and we begin to go around from
good -fellow to good -fellow trying to
cash -ina little of the goocllellow
ship we've bought so dearly, we will
obtain nothing more than a large
