Aesop in Mexican Guise.
Here is a story with a moral which
is a popular favorite in Mexico, says
the Philadelphia Ledger.
"Juan," said the father, "I will die
pretty soon. All I can leave you is 1
the little burro and a single bit of 1
good advice. This is, 'never attempt 1
to have people satisfied with your con- !
duct.'" '
"Why?" 1
"Come and see." '
The boy began to walk, then came 1
the burro, and, behind, the old man.
"How stupid," the men said. "Why '
do they not ride the burro? No doubt 1
the burro will ride on them tomor- |
row?"
Both the old man and Juan heard
this. Then the old man said:
"Now, look here, my son; Jump on
the burro and I will drive him."
They reached another town. People
who saw them exclaimed: "The
old man must be crazy and the boy
is without shame."
"Did you hear that?" the old man
questioned.
"Yes, father."
"Well, now, I will ride the burro
and you will drive him."
Another town was reached. Three
men were passing by an done of them
said: "Never in my life did I see
such a man; he is riding on the burro
and lets the poor little boy march on
foot. That is atrocious."
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes, father."
"All right, jump on the burro and
we will both ride home."
They followed another trail, and on
their road they met a number of people
who came in the opposite direction,
each one on a burro. Upon seeing
the old man and his son riding
the burro they exclaimed: "These
must be savages. When shall we
have a society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals? Look at that
stupid old man and his son riding
together on that poor burro!"
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes, father."
"Well, never from now on try to
have people satisfied with your conduct."
Illustrated Advice^?The lawyer says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, leaned
back. He was a good lawyer, yet business
was poor. It had been poor for
some time. He had even thought of
running for office in order to secure an
Income.
Then a caller entered, a young woman,
well gowned, well hatted, well
shod.
"I want your advice, sir," she said
as she took the chair he pointed out.
"I am a person of independent means
well invested."
The lawyer leaned forward. He
showed a new interest.
"A man wishes to marry me," the
young woman continued.
"Such cases of cause and effect are
not infrequent," said the lawyer.
"I believe the man intends to marry
me for my money."
"You may wrong nun.
"I think not. I realize that I am as
plain as & motor truck."
"I am very nearsighted,'* said the
lawyer.
"I have a figure as unlovely as a
country railway station."
"You have something better," said
the lawyer. "You have taste." He
paused a moment. "May 1 ask the approximate
size of the income you have
mentioned ?"
"I haven't the figures at hand," the
young woman replied, "but the amount
has four ciphers in it. And now, what
is your advice?"
The lawyer leaned a little further
forward. He was still young and not
unreasonably bad looking.
"My advice." he said, "is to take no
chances where you entertain doubts.
If you will remain at home this evening
I will myself drop in and ask you
to marry me. Your address, please."
Too Thorough.?Fanner Jones, finding
help scarce in his neighborhood,
was forced to visit the city, where he
finally obtained a man bold enough to
desert the attractions of the glittering
town for the lonesome life of a country
dweller.
The fellow proved exceedingly dull,
but plodded along, stolidly obeying instructions.
The third day Farmer
Jones said:
"I want you to clean up the pigsty

all the other houses of the stock."
The new hand worked vigorously for
hours. Then he appeared before his
employer with both eyes nearly closed.

all over his face and neck and hands.

SUNDAY IN PHILADELPHIA
Famous Evangelist Conducting Great
Religious Revival.
Rev. Billy Sunday began a series
of evangelistic meetings in Philadelphia
on January 3. A tabernacle
seating 20,000 people, was specially
built for the use of the baseball
evangelist The Philadelphia Ledger
of Wednesday, synopsizes the sermon
of Tuesday night, on "Jacob Limped,"
as follows:
Sunday's acting last night was wonderful.
He limped across the stage
i* -Tnonh after restllng with the angel
of the Lord; he drove with a "Haw,
haw!" the cattle and goats Jacob's
men drove to Esau; he took photographs
in a way that made his congregation
howl with amusement; he
bought candy hearts "with verses on
em," not "broken altars" for the
faithful wife who'd "manicured her
hands for years in a washtub on your
iirty duds;" he cracked imaginary
whips, and he ran like a little girl
Phased by a bull while a little brother
prayed in stereotyped language "to
oe made duly thankful for what he
was about to receive"?meaning the
bull.
It's getting to be an old story, for
it happened now on three nights at
:he "Billy" Sunday services, but they
iurned away their thousands from
:he great tabernacle last night. By 7
j'clock the big building was filled and
:housands were crammed and jammed
n the vestibules.
Twenty-three thousand persons, a
congregation that brought Sunday's
:otal for his three days' preaching in
Philadelphia up to nearly 140,000,
were thundering forth the evangelist's
iymns.
"Rejoice! Rejoice!" they sang, and,
Mocks away Philadelphia knew it;
'If Your Heart Keeps Right," swelled
the melody the boys in the streets
were whistling, and the white-washed
:imbers of the tabernacle roof trembled.
The great structure last night
teard such singing as it had not
beard before. It made the pulses of
;he thousands jump.
The evangelist was in fine fettle. It
Jidn't take two words from his lips
:o show that the hoarseness that had
:roubled him in the afternoon, when
le had told 14,000 persons of "The
Revival of the Pentecost," had vanshed.
He was on edge to get into action

fie seemed like a thoroughbred, keen
for the race, as throughout the prayer
riven by the Rev. Dr. Edwin H.
flann, he bobbed his head determinedly,
muttering "Amen" to himself
md gnawed at his thumb.
He made things hum from the
jtart. He talked of money. "By tonorrow
night," said he, "Philadelphia
should have cleaned up expenses.
I could put up a ring here, pull
iff a couple of prize fights and I'd
111 this thing every night at a dollar
i head. You pay $2,500 just to see
Haruso, and you'd fork over $4,000 to
lear Melba sing one night. Ushers,
rather up the pennies."
Defense of the Jews.
Sunday got the attention of his
ludience in his first sentence by a
iefense of the Jews.
"It makes my blood boll," he cried,
'to hear a Jew spoken of as a Sheeny
>r a Christ killer. When you worship
the Christ you worship a Jew. Don't
rou ever forget it.
"I wear a custom-made suit made
ay Jewish tailors. A Jewish banking
nouse stopped the Russo-Japanese
var by refusing to lend more money
to Japan with which to carry on the
jtruggle.
"Visit the poorhouse. You never
jaw a Jew there. If you want the
purest blood on God's earth, you'll
Ind it in the Jew. The Jewish race
vill outlive the dynasties of the earth.
"You never see a Jew among hobos
panhandling for a hand-out. Indeed
lot. Four hundred thousand Jewish
children are in your schools, your
:oming patriots, under the Stars and
Stripes."
Mr. Sunday began scoring the
proud and the hypocrites.
"Lots of folks," he shouted, "think
they can work the shell game on
3od by giving a stained-glass window
ir a pipe organ. Oh, how many of
fou pray with sincerity? You are
like people who put good apples on
top of bad ones and then wonder
vhat ails them!"
He whirled like a top and shouted:
'You can't pray, 'My kingdom come,'
md then go to a bridge party and
look at God through the bottom of a
leer mug. You can't pray 'My king
Jom come' and then go home ana
spew in the arms of your wife and
jhildren, you drunken, old reprobate.
"What troubles me so much is that
.lod is doing so well with the bunch
:hat he has to work with!
"Some of you are so low down,
you'd have to take an airship to get
:o hell.
"God broke Jacob's thigh?God will
put you on your back, too, if you come
to him with your gods of money and
four decolete gowns.
"Know what decollet is? It's a
gown with the collar around the
Rrai8t.
"God's wrestling with you to make
you give up your lust and greed and
mvy, your companions in sin!
"God says, 'Give 'em up!' He'll
make some of you fellows take your
^heck books out of your pockets and
Tiake restitution for all these get ich-quick
schemes you've been workng.
"When I went to school I had a Job
is janitor?got up at 2 a. m.. swept
14 rooms, made fires in 14 rooms and
got $25 a month?nobody called me a
grafter then."
Applause shook the building. Sunlay
fired forth:
"Come up here and call me a grafter?better
have your pictures taken
first. You won't know what you
looked like once unless you do."
Fair Game to Sunday.
All of the morals from the Jacob
itory were "Billy" Sunday's fair game.
"They called this man Jacob," he
said. "In those days they gave people
names not because they sounded
pretty, but because they meant something.
Say, what's your name?" And
Sunday squatted down and leered at
bis audience, as though he wasn't
going to let a single person escape
the question.
"That's what God's going to ask
you?the way he asked Jacob! When
he asked Jacob what his name was,
Jacob said it meant 'a schemer:' and
he was a schemer; so when he told
his name he confessed his sin. Confess
your sin to the Lord; tell the
Lord your name and God will do to
you what he did to Jacob. He'll give
you a new name.
"He told Jacob, 'Thy name henceforth
shall be Israel,' which means a
prince?a power for the Lord.
"Oh yes, God will hear you all
right," and "Billy" Sunday stretched
his arms wide, as if to show that all
his audiences and all the audiences
that he ever preached to would be
nearo. "Uoa will near me tutti iiiiuei
in his pit, and the girl of the redlight
district weeping in the arms of
Jesus, and he'll hear you, white or
black, just as quickly as he'll hear
President Wilson. When we confess
our sins, when we fall before God,
there are no distinctions." And when
he repeated this, banging on his pulpit,
he got a sweeping roar of applause.
"I don't care if your hands are
blood red. throw your arms around
Jesus Christ and God will hear you.
All heaven will come to your rescue.
"How do you feel?"?and he drew
a new breath and flashed up again as
though attacking a new subject, so
that everyone sat up and took notice.
"How do you feel, you miserable,
rigarette-smoking buck-wart, and
can't earn J10 a week: how do you
feel about it?" Then he told how he
once had gone out at mother's request
to save one of these "cigarettesmoking
buck-warts."
"And his mother said. 'You won't
go into a saloon after him, would you.
Mr. Sunday?' Well, about going into
a saloon after a man's soul, I feel
about like General Wayne did at Stony
Point. When George Washington
asked him, 'Would you storm Stony i
Point?" General Wayne said. 'General j
Washington, you make the plans and I
I'll storm hell.' "
With his scornful drawl, he mimieked
the accents of the parlor social
ists. "My Socialist friend tells me
that 'as poverty increases among the
working classes, crime increases in almost
equal ratio.' Now I don't want
to quarrel with my Socialist friend,
although I am no Socialist:" the "no"
was as big as a brass band. "But
don't you try to explain any man's
crime to me on an economic basis.
It may work with a few, but It
doesn't work with enough cases to
count. If the deeds of men and women
are black, It's because their
hearts are black." And Sunday
glared down over his pulpit, and he
looked black.
Heart Right; Conduct Right.
"When the heart, the source of
conduct, is right, the conduct is right.
The mission of the church is to purify
the heart. And, oh, Philidelphians,"
he almost chanted, "I bring you
the remedy for the world's sin: Jesus
Christ and his gospel. tsy ine gospei
In my life I've made lots of wrong
thlgs right with God."
Then he whirled as though he had
spied somebody climbing up the platform
with a gun. "And if there's
anybody I hate," he hissed, "It's the
kind of a person who's always throwing
up in your face the kind of a life
you used to live, when you've given
up that kind of a life now."
He was continually returning to the
Jacob story. "Jacob had power with
God because he confessed his sins and
because he prayed to God with sincerity.
You'll have power with God
when you come to regard your prayer
as checks on the bank of heaven. Do
you know what makes a check valuable?
It's the name on the bottom.
And what's your name worth on the
bottom of a check on the bank of
heaven?"
He was working toward a climax.
It came. He fairly bawled his conclusion
to thip period.
"What's your name worth? Why,
you can pray in the name of the
preacher: you can pray in the name
of the presiding elder; you can pray
in the name of the pope: you can
pray in the name of your old mother:
you can pray in the name of your dead
baby, and God won't hear you. But
you pray in the name of Jesus Christ!
That's the power of this world, and
God will hear you!"
Sunday's hoarsness got his nerve a
little. "I wish you had to preach
like I do, sister," he said, with obvious
self control, to a woman who
coughed. Then he beamed: "You
Just try it for one night and you'll be
all in for a month."
Again, when he was getting after
those "self-complacent" Pennsylvanians.
"Man must be an active force,"
he shouted, swinging his arms. "You
are not a Dead Sea waiting to receive
a Jordan."
He pointed the way to religion
through patriotism. "Our old ship
of state was launched in prayer," he
said. "In the constitutional convention,
old Ben Franklin, who had
taken his Turkish bath in French infidelity.
but had too much sense to be
an infidel, all the same, got up and
said: 'We cannot form a republic
without God's aid; and. therefore, I
move you, sir, that this convention be
opened with prayer.' The constitution
was cradled in prayer. The infant republic
was nourished with prayer."
Last of all, he talked about love.
"It makes me sick," he said, "for a
man to wait until his wife dies and
then pile the flowers high on her
coffin and blow himself to a handsome
piece of marble marked "At
when chp's worn herself out
manicuring her nails over a washtub
with his dirty duds in it and sewing
on his buttons, and broiling his ham
and bacon and beefsteak for him.
Any wife wants flowers now, not when
she's dead. The money that's spent
for 'Gates Ajar' wreaths ought to be
spent for a hired girl now. I'd rather
have one rosebud now than 10,000,000
when I'm dead.
"Now go home and kiss her good
night and be happy."
AN EVENTFUL YEAR
In Many Respects 1914 Stands Alone
in Unusual Developments.
In many respects the year 1914 has
been the most momentous In modern
history. Overshadowing all else Is
the great European war, which began
with startling suddenness in the early
days of August, and has waged violently
for five months. On one side
are ranged German, Austria-Hungary
and Turkey; on the other are England
with her colonies, France, Russia,
Servia, Belgium and Japan, and
Portugal has also recently declared
for the allies. The war was precipitated
by the murder on June 28,
at Seraveyo, Bosnia, of the Archduke
Franz Fredinand of Austria, heir to
the throne, and his wife. Demands
were made upon Servia by Austria
and not complied with. War quickly
followed, Germany, England, Russia
and France becoming involved. Japan
entered the war August 23, and
Turkey October 29.
Germany started to invade France
by crossing Belgium and met with
stubborn resistance. Obstacles being
overcome, the Germans made a famous
dash for Paris, but by September
5, the tide was turned and they
were pushed back across France
nearly to the border of Belgium,
where hard fighting has been going on
ever since with varying success.
In Poland, Galacia and East Prussia,
vigorous war has been waged
between the Russians on one side,
Germans and Austrians on the other.
There have been victories for both
sides.
The great navies have not met in
battle of consequence, though some
ships on both sides have been sunk.
After four years of war, Mexico is
still in a state of chaos. President
Wilson tried to settle matters by arbitration,
and Argentine, Brazil and
Chili aided. After hearings from
April to July, this move failed. Gen.
Huerta left the country, July 20. On
November 2, Gen. Gutierrez was proclaimed
president, but he is not recognized
by Villa and Zapata, and internecine
war still prevails.
The Panama canal has been completed.
Wilson's new policies have been
put in force, revised tariff, reserve
banks and other measures.
On January 13, a volcano destroyed
the city of Kagoshima, in Japan.
The American government has provided
for the building of a railroad
in Alaska for $35,000,000.
On May 25, the British house of
commons passed the Irish home rule

MAKE-UP OF A MAN
All Men Can be Rich if They Only
Will.
When the various ingredients thai
go to make him are considered, a man
appears to be a creature of some
value. The centuries are under the
hat of the least and the humblest, even
as they were before the army of Napoleon
at the Pyramids. Nature worked
a long, long time "to find at last
the shape and soul of man." and behind

precarious present standpoint that you
despise and wish to change. You are
the survivor not of one line of ancestry
alone, but of the whole of history
with its buried Caesars, its silent
Shakespeares, its kings and emperors

In his hand. When you came into the
world you inherited all of it, and found
that every one who ever dwelt here,
laid down his life, though he knew It
not, to prepare it for you.
You grow tired of giving, tired of
having your sleeve plucked all the
time by some beggary that plaintively
insists upon its worthiness. Now is
your turn, you think. You would like
to rest and take your ease and enjoy
your share. It is about time that the
benefits you have bestowed upon your
fellows were returned, and you look
for the restoration of the balance. But
have you not seen, do you not know,
that you might give all you have and
do all you can. and still you would not
discharge your indebtedness to the infinite
grace and bounty that have held
you close and warmed and fed you
since you first drew breath?
"Arrant nonsense!" is the sharp rejoinder
of some who wonder where
the next meal is to come from; who
cannot nay for coal and light: who
drudge at the washboard for a pittance;
whose only music is the voice
of a fretted, ailing infant; whose landscape
is paintless boards and a wall of
brick. "This is the vaporous fancy of
a man who sits at ease in a quiet
room, warmed and nourished, putting
words on paper. Little enough does
the writer know of the misery ?hat
never finds its way into print or beneath
the flap of an envelope. We who
suffer most are the most silent, and
we have no use for the nosing, poking
reformer that calls himself a sociologist;
we only pray him to go his way
and let us fight it out alone, here in
the dark."
The wretchedest miser and hermit
that ever wrapped his sullen cloak
about him and defied his kind; the
most miserable fakir that ever hung
head downwards or sat on spikes in
India; the poorest wight that ever
groveled in the mud when he might
have stood and talked with angels face
to face, was an heir apparent in the
line royal of his race. It is not possible
to be so poor that a man cannot be
rich in many things?rich like Chaucer's
parson in "thought and work" if
in nothing more. How much a man
owns, as long as he owns himself! All
that was ever done for him is his forever.
This teacher taught him to hold
his tongue, under whatever provocation;
this other teacher said a word or
two that he still hears above all noises
round him now. He saw somewhere
an old man who was kind, a woman
who was thoughtful and a child that
told the truth. What happy chance
enriched his life with these small
things, whose sum is a golden treasury?
By them he has become so
much more than the man vou see: he
is all he has experienced and all that
he remembers, and however often he
falls, however low he sinks he is still
a man. and far horizons beckon him
still.

Half Your Living
Without Money Cost
A right or wrong start in 1915 will
make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing a
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is upset.
The supply merchant cannot advance
supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made up most of your store
debt in the past.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew! But it must be a real
garden, and not tne mere one-pianting
patch in the spring and fall.
Hastings' 1915 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money-saving
garden and the vegetables to put
in it. It tells about the field crops
as well and shows you the clear road

Look at the men who are successful
in the eyes of the world. Ninety-nine

Account when they were young?and
stuck to it.
And now, look at the failures. Very
few of them have a Bank account now.
Not speaking of when they were young.
Perhaps you think you have not
enough money to start an account.
Haven't you a dollar? That's all it takes
at THIS BANK.
Just try It for a year or six months.
If you do not wish to continue it you
have lost nothing by the trial.

THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW aand will come to a close on SATURDAY,
MARCH 13TH, at 6.00 P. M., SHARP.
Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the payment of
the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where it is desired to
discontinue a subscription before the close of the contest, the Clubmaker may
do so by paying the amount due at the time of such discontinuance. When a
subscription has been paid in rull, it cannot ue discontinued, me ciuomaKer *
however may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscrlp- ^
tion to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer is to be
made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our
books.
Xo name will be counted in competition for a premium until the subscription
price has been paid, nor will any premium be delivered until the Club
maker has either paid or made satisfactory settlement for all the names on the *,
Club.
In case of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a
name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but
where both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting
the name for one year for each such payment.
After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will be permitted.
This is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to makesuch
transfers, they must concede bur right to take such steps as may seem
necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubntaker who returns
names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay fornames
already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if
there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is not
for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the
competition.
Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever
They Can. It is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same postoffice.
The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not
give that Clubmaker a right to return it this year.
All subscriptions moist be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending
them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when
it is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postotflce Money Order.
