A LESSON 1111111KM13.

Merchants sometimes, pay a high
rate of interest, tbree\per cent a
month, 'eren,in order to . get out of a
tight place.,-- A young merchant of
New York, who found tumselfl.n need ,
-of $100,000„ for which he WaS Willing _
to pay a high rate of interest,'Called
on- Mr. - James G. King, a banker, for
-the loan. He received aid, but be
wns also taught a lesson. Said Mr.
King: ' •
\ s "Look ye L., yob harepsi'd as high is
as three per cent a month for,the use
"of money!" -
"Yes, replied the applicant, a little
warmly, 'and I am ready to do it
again. My business will, 'warrant
Mr. King shank his head. No.„
'thisineas in the world, he — deelared,..
could warrant - such a thing.-:. But the
younger .man Was headstrong and
pasitive. He knew that his business
Would warrant the interest mention—
ed foo-thesecorriodation required., •
"Welknow look here L. I haPpeu
to have a kundred thousand in the
`bank which 11 can spare; bat I don't
want to take it out. fora short pine.
If, on wilt. take it three yeos; At
three.per'eenta month, it is yours.::
Make your . note 'for the : hundred,
th4usafid. payable, i&three years after
date; at that rate , of interest, and I
will discount it for you it once, say-
ing nothing about securi4%."
The young Merchant was
ed. As soon as, he could believe that
King wasln 'earnest, he took a. blank
form and made-the note.'
_"Now, let as reckon the discount,"
said the old merchant. ' •
.
figurtedlie a few ftriqaents; antis
then ~looking up with smile, he
said:
yon owe me $B,OOO !"
The young ~.man: thought at first 3
his: friend was joking; but when he
came . to look at the figures-he found •
it too tine.
$lOO,OOO at three per cent a Month ,
would be 36 pers,ent a year ($36;000),
and for three years sloB,oooi.
- "Well; L., what do you think of a:
business conducted on sti:th„n basis?
Noir think ye_! • . •
.Mr. King then told the young man
just:Cud hemould,dii; on the condi
tion,' however ' that he would turn
over a new leaf in his business. L.
saw the brink upon •whieh he hid
stood; and with his friend'igenerons
assistance' hebacked away from it.
