Never he in too 'bug a hurry not to
be courteous,
There .is no hope for the man who
believes Idren:elf a failure.
,,. The man who is not afraid of fail-
ure seldom has to face it,
No one is useless, rill this. world who
lightens the burden of it to anyone
else,
Soon be time for the corporation
hay crop to be moved from some elf
the boulevards.
A small man may make a, big job
shrink, but it takes, a big man to make
a small job grow.
Wisdom is knowing what; to do next.
Skill is knowing how to doo it, and
'virtue is in doing it.

The. present ,system of shopping and
marketing on credit is radically wrong,
and an. injury to all concerned, and
the fault lies equally with those who
buy and those who sell. The merchant
likes a running account -with his safe
customers, because it gives, him a, hold
on. their continuance, and makes his
sales larger and more profitable, The
customer likes it because, it evinces his
good credit, and enables' Kinn to get
his wants without waiting for a full
purse. But at length a settlement
comes, and then the customer is us-
ually astoniislj,ed at the amount of the
bill and his own folly an purchasing
things which his family could easily
have dispensed with, If you are
wise, and will consult, your own inter-
est and comfort, and the good rot
others, you widl fo(iow the rule, "Pay
as you go" inflexibly. It does not
need the authority of an apostle to
establish the wisdom of the proverb,
"Owe no main anything," Were this
sage precept universally obeyed, one
of the chief sot ces; of trouble would
be taken out of the civilized world.
Besides a great gain in public morals,
there would be a vast saving in the
economy of living."
