[Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1899,]
Washington, D. C.-Intosrity and trlok- '
ry m busmens life form the subject of Dr
Talmage’s sermon, and the contrast tie
establishes between the two Is a striking
one. The text is Proverbs xx., 14' “It is
naught, it is naught, sattli the buyer but
when he is gone his way then he boasteth ”
Palaces are not such prisons as the worid
imagines. If you think that the only time
kings iyid queens come forth from the royal
gates is in procession and gorgeously at
tended, you are mistaken. Incognito by
day or by night and clothed in citizen’s ap
parel or the dress of a working woman
they come out and see the world as it is’
In no other way could King Solomon, the
author of my text, have known everything
that was going on. From my text I am sure
he must, in disguise, someday have walked
into a store of ready made clothing in Jeru
salem and stood near the counter and heard
a conversation between a buyer and a sell
er. The merchant put a price on a coat
and the customer began todickerand said ;
“Absurd: That coat is not worth what you
ask for it. Why, just look at the coarse
ness of the fabric! See that spot on the
■collar! Besides that, it does not fit.
Twenty dollars for that? Why, it is not
worth more than $lO. They hayo a better
article tjian thet for lower price down at
Clothem, Fitern & Bros. Besides that, I
■don’t want it at any price. Good morn
ing.’’ “Hold!” .‘■ays the merchant. “Do
not go off in that way. I want to sell you
that coat. I have some paymentsto make,
and I want the money’. Come, now, how
much will you give forthat coat?” “Well,”
says the customer, “I will split the differ
ence. You asked S2O, and I said $lO. Now,
£ will give you $15.” “WolJ,” says the
merchant, “it is a great sacrifice, but take
St at that price.”
Then the customer with a roll under his
arm started to go out and enter his own
place of business, and Solomon In disguise
tollowed him. He heard the customer as he
unrolled the coat say: “Boys, I have made
a great bargain. How much do you guess
I gave for that coat?” “Well,” says one,
wishing to compliment his enterprise,
“you gave $8!) for it.” Another says, “I
should think you got it cheap if you gave
$25.” “No,” says the buyer in triumph,
“I got it for sls. I beat him down and
pointed out the imperfections until I
really made him believe it was not worth
hardly anything. It takes me to make a
bargain. Ha, ha!” Oh, man you got the
goods for less than they were worth by
positive falsehood, and no wonder, when
Solomon went baek to his palace and had
put off his disguise, that he sat down at
his writing desk and made for all ages a
crayon sketch of you, “It is naught, it is
naught, saith the buyer, hut when he is
gone his way then he boasteth.”
Tliero are no higher styles of men in all
the world than those now at the head of
mercantile enterprises in the great cities
of this continent. Their casual promise is
as good as a bond with plies of collaterals.
Their reputation for integrity is as well es
tablished as that of Petrarch residing in
the family of Cardinal Colonna. It is re
lated that when there was great disturb
ance in the family the cardinal called all
his people together and put them under
oath to tell the truth except Petrarch;
when he came up to swear, the cardiaal
put away his book and said, “As for you,
Petrarch, your word is sufficient.” Never
since the world stood have there been so
many merchants whose transactions can
stand the test of the Ton Commandments.
Such bargain makers are all the more to be
honored, because they have withstood yeur
after year temptations which have flung
BO many flat and flung them so hard they
can never, never recovor themselves.
While all positions in life have powerful
besetments to evil there are specillo forms
of allurement which are peculiar to each
occupation and profession, audit will be
useful to speak of the peculiar temptations
of business men.
First, as in the scene of the text, business
mefi are often tempted to sacrifice plain
truth, the seller by exaggerating the value
Of goods and the buyer by depreciating
them. We cannot hut admire an expert
salesman, See how he flrst induces the
customer into a mood favorable to the
proper consideration of the value of the
goods.. He shows himself to be an lioi est
and frank salesman. How carefully the
lights are arranged till they fall just right
upon the fabricl Beginning with goods of
medium quality, he gradually advances
toward those of more thorough make and
of more attractive pattern. How he
watches the moods and whims of his cus
tomer! With what perfect calmness he
takes the order and bows the purchaser
from his presence, who goes away, having
made up his mind that he has bought the
goods at a price which will allow him a
living margin when ho again sells them.
"The goods were worth what the salesman
said they were and were sold at a price
which will not make it necessary for the
house to fail every ten years in order to fix
up things.
But with what burning indignation we
think of the iniquitous strategems by
which goods are sometimes disposed of. A
glance at the morning papers shows the
arrival at one of our hotels of a youug
merchant from one of the inland cities.
He is a comparative stranger in the great
city, and, of course, he must be shown
around, and it will he the duty of some of
our enterprising houses to escort him. He
is a large purchaser and has plenty of time
and money, and it will pay to be very at
tentive. The evening is spent at a place of
doubtful amusement. Then they go back
to the hctel. Having just come to town
they must, of course, drink.
A friend from the same mercantile estab
lishment drop3 in, and usage and generos
ity suggest that they must drink. Busi
ness prospects are talked over, and the
stranger is warned against certain dilapi
dated mercantile establishments that are
about to fail, and for such kindness and
magnanimity of caution against the dis
honesty of other business houses of course
it is expected they will —and so they do—
take a drink. Other merchants lodging in
adjoining rooms lind it hard to sleep for
the clatter of decanters, and the coarse
carousal of these “hail fellows well met”
waxes louder. But they sit not all night
at the wine cup. They mu3t see the sights.
They stagger forth with cheeks flushed
and eyes bloodshot. The outer gates of
hell open to lot in the v ctlms. The wings
of lost souls flit among the lights, and the
steps of the carousers sound with the rum
bling thunders of the lost. Farewell to all
the sanctities of home! Could mother,
sister, father, slumbering in the inland
home, in some vision of that night catch a
glimpse of the ruin wrought they would
rend out their hair by the root3 and bite
the tongue till the blood spurted, shriek
ing out, “God save him!”
What, suppose you, will come upon such
business establishments? And there are
hundreds of them in the cities. They may
boast of fabulous sales, and they may have
an unprecedented run of buyers, and the
came of the house may be a terror to all
rivals, and from this thrifty root there may
spring up branph houses in other cities, and
all the partners of the firm may move into
their mansions and drive their full blooded
span, and the families may sweep the street
with the most elegant apparel that human
art ever wove or earthly magnificence ever
achieved. But a curse is gathering surely
for those men, and if it does not seize hold
of the pillars and in one wild ruin bring
down the temple of commercial glory it
will break up their peace, and they will
tremble with sickness and bloat with dissi
pations, and, pushed to the precipice oi
this life, they will try to hold back and cry
for help, but no help will come, and they

Again, business men are often tempted
to make the habits and customs of other
traders their law of rectitude. There are
commercial usages which will not stand
the test of the last day. Yet men in busi
ness are apt to do as their neighbors do.
If the majority of the traders in any local
ity are lax in principal, the commercial
code In that community will be spurious
and dishonest. It Is a hard thing to stand
close by the law of right when your next
door neighbor by his looseness of dealing
is enabled to sell goods at a cheaper rate
and decoy your customers. Of course, you
who promptly meet all your business en
gagements, paying when you promise to
pay, will find it hard to compete with that
merchant who is hopelessly in debt to the
importer for the goods and to the landlord
whose store he oocuples and to the clerks
who serve him. There are a hundred
practices prevalent in the world
of traffic which ought never to
become the rule for honest men. Their
wrong does not make your right. Sin
never becomes virtue by being multiplied
and admitted at brokers’ board or mer
chants’ exchange. Because otheis smuggle
a few things in passenger trunks, because
others take usury when men are in tight
places, because others palm off worthless
indorsements, because others do nothing
hut blow bubbles, do not, therefore, be
overcome of temptation. Hollow preten
sion and fictitious credit aud commercial
gambling may awhile prosper, but the day
of reckoning cometh, and in addition to
the horror and condemnation of outraged
communities the curse of God will come
blow for blow. God’s law forever and for
ever is the only standard of right and
wrong and not commercial ethics.
Young business man, avoid the flrst busi
ness dishonor, and you will avoid all the
rest. The captain of a vessel was walking
near the mouth of a river when the tide
was low, snd there was a long stout anchor
chain, into one of the groat links of which
his foot slipped, and it began to swell, and
hecould not withdraw it. The tide began
to rise. The chain could uot be loosened
nor filed off in time, and' a surgeon was
called to amputate the limb, but before the
work could be done the tide rolled over the
victim, and his life was gone. I have to
tell you, youug man, that just one wrong
into which you may slip may be a link of a
long chain of circumstances from which
you cannot De extricated by any ingenuity
of your ownorany help from others, and the
tides will roll over you as they have over
many. -
Again, business men are sometimes
tempted to throw off personal responsi
bility, shifting it to the institution to
which they belong. Directors in banks
and railroad and insurance companies
sometimes shirk personal responsibility
underneath the action of the corporation.
And how often, when some banking house
or financial institution explodes through
fraud respectable men in the board of
directors say, “Why, I thought all was
going on in an honest way, and I am ut
terly confounded with this demeanor!”
The banks and the tire and life and
marine insurance companies and the rail
road companies will not stand up for judg
ment In the last day, but those who in
them acted righteously will receive, each
for himself, a reward, and those who acted
the part of neglect or trickery will, each
for himself, receive a condemnation.
Unlawful dividends are not clean before
God, because tnere are those associated
with yon who grab just as big a pile as you
do. He who countenances the dishonesty
of the firm or of the corporation or asso
ciation takes upon himself all the moral
liabilities. If the financial institutions
steal, he steals. If they go into wild specu
lations, he himself is a gambler. If they
needlessly embarrass a creditor, he himself
is guilty of cruelty. If they swindle the
uninitiated, he himself is a defrauder. No
financial institution ever had a money vault
strong enough, or credit staunch enough,
or dividends large enough, or policy acute
enough to hide the individual sins of its
members. The old adage that corporations
have no souls is misleading. Every cor
poration has as many souls as it has mem
bers .
Again many business men have been
tempted to postpone their enjoyments and
duties to a future season of entire leisure.
What a sedative the Christian religion
would be to all our business men if, in
stead of postponing its uses to old age or
death, they would take it into the store or
factory or worldly engagement now! It Is
folly to go amid the uncertainties of busi
ness life with no God to help. A mer
chant in a New England village was
standing by a horse, and the horse
lifted bis foot to stamp it in a pool
of water, and the merchant, to escape
the splash, stepped into the door of an
insurance agent, and the agent said, “I
isuppose you ha\e come to renew your Are
nsurance?” “Oh,” said the mere hant, “I
had forgotten that!” The insurance was
renewed, and the next dav the house that
had been insured was burned. Was it all
accidental that the merchant, to escape a
splash from a horse’s foot, stepped into the
insurance office? No; ft was providential.
And what a mighty solace for a business
man to feel that things are providentlall
What peace and equilibrium in such a con
sideration, and what a grand thing if all
business men could realize it!
Many, although now comparatively
straitened in worldly circumstances, have
a goodly establishment in the future
planned out. Their best treasures in
heaven, they will go up and take posses
sion of them. The toils of business life,
which racked their brains and rasped
their nerves for so many years, will have
forever ceased. .“There the wicked cease

Where the Compaaa Came From.
The earliest references to the use of
the mariner’s compass are to be found
in Chinese history, from which we
learn how, in the sixty-fourth-year of
ihe reign of Hoang-ti (2034 B. C.), the
Emppror attacked Tehi-yeon, on the
plains of Tchoulou, and, finding his
army embarrassed by a Thick fog
raised by the enemy, constructed au in
strument for indicating the south, so
as to distinguish the four cardinal
points, aud was thus enabled to pursue
his adversary and capture him.
The power of the loadstone to com
municate polarity to iron is said to be
for the first time explicitly mentioned
n a Chinese dictionary, finished in A.
i). 121, where the loadstone is defined
as “a, stone with which an attraction
can be given to the needle.”
The Chinese appear to have once
navigated as far as India by the aid
of the compass.--Pearson’s Weekly.

A Mutter of Friendship.
Gassoway took hla friend Crumble
by the arm and gently led him to a
seat.
“Nothing could be more appropri

after my visit to your home last even
ing,” he said, earnestly. “The fact Is,
old man, 1 want to talk to you about a
serious matter—one that Will not only
affect your own future, but the future
of the little one Intrusted to your
charge.”
Crumble lifted his head somewhat
wearily, and with a simulated show of
Interest, said, "I suppose you refer to
our baby.”
Gassoway leaned over Impressively.
“If I were not a true friend of yours,”
he went on, “I would not speak, but It
is my duty and Ido not hesitate. Yes, !
I refer to the baby. As you know, I
have had a wide experience with chil
dren, and I was sorry to see, on my
visit to you last evening, that you and
your wife have much to learn. Not
that I blame either of you. No, my
dear fellow; it takes time. But I know
I can be of service to you.”
Crumble pounded the table.
“In the first place,” continued Gasso
tvay, “you should never rock your baby
to sleep. Put him dojvn and let him
ery it out, and in a week or so he will
be trained. I was sorry to infer, from
what your wife said, that you have
been in the habit of feeding him at Ir
regular intervals. Bad—very bad.
Now as to the matter of diet, I ”
Crumble touched his companion on
the arm. "Old man,” he said, “you
are a friend of mine, aren’t you? You
have just said so.”
“I am."
“I can count on you.”
“Every time."
“You would consider it your bound
en duty to help us out with that baby,
wouldn’t you?”
“I certainly should,” replied Gasso
way, faintly, with a slight look of
suspicion. "What do you want me to
do, my boy?”
“Simply this,” replied Crumble. “As
you know so much about it, you are
just the one I am looking for. I’m
going to send my wife away from that
baby for a mouth’s rest, aud I wont
you to take her place.”—Harper’s

How * Three Hundred ” Was Ralaed
to * Eighty-three Hundred.”
“In filling out a blank form,” writes
Eanlel T. Ames, the handwriting ex
pert, “say one word is omitted. After
the paper Is finished the writer notices
the omission, goes back and writes in
the lacking word. The insertion is dif
ferent from the writing Immediately
preceding and following it, showing
that it was written at another time
and not in its natural order. The Pot
ter-Gibbons forgery, 1n New Jersey,
turned upon this very point. Tho for
gery consisted of one word added td*a
receipt for three hundred dollars, mak
ing it read ’eighty’-three hundred. The
‘eighty’ was written by the same hand
that wrote the remainder of the re
ceipt. but was added at another time.
“Gibbons, by whom the receipt was
given, held a mortgage of ninety-three
hundred dollars on Potter’s farm. Pot
ter called to pay him tHree hundred of
it on account. Gibbons had been ill,
and could not write well, so he asked
Potter to draw up the receipt. The re
ceipt was drawn for three hundred
dollars, and Gibbons signed it. Then,
noticing that the figures usually in
serted In such papers had uot been put
in he returned it to Potter with the
suggestion that the figures be added.
Potter took the receipt, added some
thing, folded it and laid it on the ta
ble. Gibbons did not examine It, sup
posing that the other man had written
in the figures as requested.
“Wbcn another installment of the
mortgage fell due, Potter set up the
claim that he owed only one thousand
dollars instead of eight thousand, as
Gibbons maintained. He produced tho
receipt In support of his statement.
The form of the paper was so unusual,
however, aud the examination of tho
handwriting expert showed so plainly
that the word eighty had been hastily
written in after the receipt was com
pleted, that It was not allowed to
stand." —Aiuslec's Magazine.
