How It Was Lost
To lose by one's own Ingorance or
carelessness is more mortifying than
to loae by another'a dishonesty. It
is certainly aggravating enough to
lose by both, lo illustrate how lit
tie the law wdl help a person who
doea not know how to do business
and to show the importance of small
detaila the New York Mercantile
Journal cites an aotaul oaso.
A man drew a note promising to
pay one hundred dollara. Uo naed a
printed form, and did not cloas up
the blank dnvotod to dollars, and af
ter passing it aa negotiable paper.
somebody inserted "and fifty'' aftor
tne printod dollars.
The note, thus altorcJ, got into
tbo bandaofan innocent party, who
presooted it to the drawer ami the
Suprome Court held the maker of
the note was liable for its face, bo-
causo through negligence be did not
draw a line between the word "bun-
dtod" and printod word "dollars."
Any testimony that the drawer
might offer to establicb tbe fact that
he gave the note for ono buudrod
dollars must go for nothing as thers
waa nothing on the face of the note
showing that it had boon altored,
Kvidence of any alteration on tbe
face of the note would bave changed
tbo case. Lot thia be a lesson to all
drawera of promissory notes. No
one can be to careful in such mat
tors.

Keep Out ol Debt.
Half the perplexity, annorsnco
and trouble that men have in tbe
world ia in consequence of getting
into debt. It seetus to be natural
for some people to buy, and incur
obligations without measure, so long
ss they can avoid poying ready cash.
Dive one of thin sort a clninco to buy
on credit, and the question of pay
ments are matters that ho cares but
little about Hut what a crop of
trouble springs up from tbe need of
debt. How many gray hairs it
brings, and bow often it shortons
life, sometimes leading men to com
mit suicide or murder. And yet bow
easy it is to keep clear of this torrix
bio monster. Every young luau
should form a fixed and unalterable
determination, boforo commencing
his active busiuess career, not to in'
cur ouo penny of indebtedness, un
der any circumstances. Never buy
anything unless you have tbo money
to pay lor it at once, l'ay n. at
tention to "splendid oppportuuitoa,"
rare chances, "barguitis, aud tbe
like. Such are ouly .traps sot to
cutch victims. It you seo anything
Unit you would like to accept, look
first at your money pilo and make
the answer depend oo that Al
ways pay as yon go. f you go. If
you are short of money, guage your
demauds accordingly.
