"'FOOLED” A CLOTHING MAN HOW HE Transparent Trick Good Hat Act Employed in Gettingn for One-Tenth of Its Valoe as Told by Himself, Thero is a gontleman well known in Coun- cil Bluffs, wno has often thadeit his boast that when the proprictor of a closing ou. sale got ahead of him he had to get up very early in the morning to do it. A story which is told on him, and which the gontleman in question has nover seen fit to deny, rather tends 1o substantiate his claim to an extra- ordinary degree of nerve as woll as inge- nuity. A bankrupt sale of gents’ furnishing goods has been fe progress for some time past in a building on Broadway, and one of tho baits held out to catch customers is a window full of hats marked, *“Your choice for 50 cents.” Among thoso who iwero enticed into the stors was the gentleman re- ferred to. He lovked at a pile of hats on ono of the counters avd at last found one that suited him, all but tho price. It was marked €5, but he decrded to have it for 50 cents, He accordingly took the hat and edged his way over toward the window where the 50-cent sign was displayed, a.d inside of ten seconds his choice lay peacefully among its cheaper relatives, A few minutes later he picked it up again out of the window, aod with the eagerness that is common to great discoverers he asked the price, It was in the window, so why should ke not have it for 50 cents? And it wus @ green clerk that waited on him, so there proved to be no reason, whatever. Mr. Man is now sporting a fine & hat, and atthough he has had it three days he has not wearied yet ot teiling how he got it for 50 cents, ———— BOSTON STORE, Tmmense Arrivals of Spring Goods—Great Bar) ns This Week, We have appreciated the remarkable patronage extended us during our great underwear sule, which closed last night, and, although we made prices so low as to leave no profit, we wish to thank our many friends for coming and taking the goods away.

Osmana, Nel h 21.—10 the Kditor of Tue Bee: Grim irony, that saloonkeepers’ meeting, an account of which appeared in vour paper receutly. Its object was declared to be, “To elevate the saloon business by having the respect of reputable people,” Well, gentlemen, baven't you put your hand to an up il task! You say farther, “To promote temperance and the good order of society’’ (un evil tree produce good fruit!| d farther on, **1'o promote tomperance in the use of liquors, eto.” Did cheekiness ever bunt its head against the rock of facts more baldly! KEverybody knews that the saloon is the greatest school of vulgarity, profanity and low animalism in the commuvity. Everybody knows that the assogiations of thesaloon are degrading; that the drink babit 1s the master vice, because it is productive of so many other vices. ‘The saloon always has tended and always will tend, to degrade und brutalize men; to aestroy the poace aud comfort of their fami- lies and sow in themselves the seeds of dis- ease and premature death. You can't ele- vate the character of individuals or com- munpities who voluntarily yield themselves to sonsual indulgencies, and no other appe- tite is s0 despotic as the appetite for liquor, It destroys self-discipline, self-control and self-respec No, gentlemeu, your business can't *have the respect of roputaole people,” aud I pray you quit it. The influence of the saloon is evil, ounly evil, aud that coutinually, aud no one knows this better than you men who tend the bar, unless you have become mor- ally blinded and hardened by the vice. You can't make the business respectable, even in the estimation of one in ten who drink av your har. Who ever said, “Let me introduce to you my friend, A.

Yours in sympathy and helping good will, M. C. Burien ——— INTEREST AND USURY. Lesson on Modern Business Methods Drawn from the Parables. Yesterday morning Rev. Frank W. Foster, | pastor of the Immanuel Baptist church, preached the second of ascries of business sermons, his subject being: “The Talents,” | or “Interest and Usury and the Punishment for Igleness,” tho text being Matt. xxv.. 14 to30. Following isa syuopsis of tho dis- course: Probably for all time, interest will ba con- sidered as a fair and proper return to the one owning the money or weaith that the borrower aesires to use 10z alonger or shorter time. \Webster says that the interest is premium paid for the use of monev; but that #tatement includes in it theidea of risk being assumed, and promium for that risk bein charged up against interest. Natural te est, and it is that we are considering, is not money paid for the use of monoy, but rather, as Hoory Goorgs states it, futerest is money puid out of the increase of capital, in the auds of theuser of the capital. Ior if there was not au increase of productivencss, by the uso of the cavital emplovet in any oc- cupation, and so, an increaso of wealth, over and ubove that which would be bad, if sim- ply labor and raw materinls, or the forces of nituro werc employed, intercst would soon cease to be paid tho mun who had money to lend, for no one would want it if it did not increase the productiveness of labor. Of course 1 speak of borrowing money now in its largest connections with business and commercial enterprises, -borrowing for the purpo.e of temporary avd personal gratifica- tion does not enter into the question in this caes, Tllustrations might be easily given, but time will not allow of it. Now the question which, as Christians, we want to ask ourselves, Whether this is the interest that is condemued 1n the sense of usury by the bible? Letus be honest with ourselves, even 1f it should deprive us of many things which we possess, and tnough, like Zacheus, we may be called upon to make rostitution. By most careful study it does not appear to meo that this is what is condemued in the bible, Iuterest, in the sense in which I have just spoken of it, I have no doubt may be recognized as just. The Jews were a commercial people, ana when they are commanded not to take usury they are commauded not to be & goug- 10g Ana biting class of people, ot usurers; the very word itself, ‘neshek,” to bite, s0 that a usurer, from the very meaning of the Wword, was a biter. “The Puritanic divines are almost all of them against the taking of any interest upon money, and 0 to the length ‘of saying that one peany per cont per annum will shut a man out of heaven, 1f sted in.’ But money is a procuctive thing. as Mr. Spur- geon said, *“and the lender has a right to a part of the products; & ioan to cnable & non- trader to live over a season of want is a very different matter.” That would, probably, be considered usury, and would be condemied by the law laid down in Matthew vii:l2. Usury not ouly is the cxcessive rate paid 1 premium for money borrowed, but 1t is the undue advantage taken at any time over +an- other person in trade or bargaining, The test text in the bible, to show us whether we aro trespassing the commandments of the Lord on this matter, 1s the twelfth verse of tho seventh chapter of Matthew. "Throo servants—indeed they were slaves— were entrusted with some mouey, and the owner or master, went away to be gonc an ingefinite time. The first two show their industry, so they trade aud use the money given thein, so that it increases iu a perfectly natural way, until it haus doubled, When the servants saw their master re- turning, those who had improved industr ously, their opportunity, were glad, and they reported to him with joy, of their good for- tune. ‘“The five talents have gainod five oth- er talents,” ‘““Thy two talents have gained two talents more.”” The Lovd 100ked with de- light and aporobation upon those servants, and ho said to the one gaining five talents, *Well done, good and faithtul servant, thou hast shown thy shrewdness und ability, and thou shalt be a ruler,a prince, euter thou also ioto tho joys of the Lord; they are mak- ing u banquet for me, thou Shalt sitat tho table with me.”” H¢ said just the same words to the otner faithful one.” **Well done, good and faithful servant, thou shalt bea raler, und a prince, enter thou into the joy of the Lord. Thou shalt also bea guost at the fenst they are proparing for me.” These faithful servants wers praised. They were honored with boing invited to sit with the Lord at the feast, whera his return was being joyously celebrated. And in the third place b were rewarded for their faithfulness by having authority, like thatof their Lord, given to them. Here we have industrious attention re- warded. “The slothful servant was not pleased to see his Lord returned, and ho very naturally put off until the Jast possible moment, meeting his Lord. He, too, had given to bim as much as ho could have used to advantage. If he had received the teu talonts he would have carefully bidden the whole of it until the lord’s roturn, There would have been greater 1oss to the Master, and no greater gain for the lazy, indolent, insolent man that threw down before his Dord tho talent, say- ing: *There is thine, take it, 1 was afraid Lo use it, 1t was oo risky a_matter to o out in the streets even with that *money, and I would never have dared to invest it, for I am sure I v;ould have lost.’”” No doubt he was right, for that kind of slothfilness will always lezd to loss and failuro. His Lora was naturally greatly displeased, and the mora so, no doubt, that tho others had proven that the tunes wero prosperous or they could not have gained so wuch. **I'hou wicked and slothiul servaot, why didn't you do sumething with my money; why not give it to some of the traders who would have paid you good interest, aud now I might have received back again my monoy with interest " How certain and fearful 1s the condemna- tion which is pronounced against that sloth- ful, lazy, inaclive sorvant! First, he is cen- sured for his slothfulness, in_the presenco of bis fellow servants, that have just been honored so greatly. Next, the talent that he had, was taken and given to him, that had ten talent: ‘The final punishment was the command: “Cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness. Here will ho music and feasting presently; this 1s no place forthe lazy fellow, Cast him out! To the cellar; to the dungeous with him!" Ho was cast futo outer darkness, What a terrible thougkt, and bivle truth, is here brought to our attention! God will as surely cast from His presence in the world to come all who cannot find time in their nearts to serve Him now, to love Him now, No truth in the bible is more emphatically taught than this: All those who will not have God and take Him into thoir affairs, to shape, to guide, to council now, cannot have Him here- after. You who wiil not take Him now can- not have tim herealter. You who will not take Him now cannot have Him then. You will be cast iuto outer durkness. You may not like the truth; you may not want to be- lieve it, but like all the truth of the bivle, this truth stands eternully, God belp you! May He save vo - The Good Sumaritun. Rev. A. W. Clark is doiag some excelient work in the City Mission, Just at present he is engaged in finding relief for a grea many sick people who ars in gestitute ¢ cumstances. Last week he found a poor old- man lu a wiserablo room over a saloon at the corner of Sixteenth and Cass streets in a pitiable conaition, He was in the last stages of consumption and had no one to attend to his wants but & small boy, his who was balf starved and as ragged as a scarecrow. The case was absolutely shocking. The old man had wasted awav until his bones bad actually cut tbrough the skin in places, and to aad to the horror of the situation, bo was unspeakably filthy, Into this place of awful misery the mis- sionary went and had the poor dylog pauper carvied o a comfortable room and provided with proper food, clothing and medical t- tendance.

The special committee appointed for the purpose of ex- amining rooms reported in favor of taking the seventh floor of the Bee building, which would te fitted up for tho use of the lodge.

It is proposod to have 8 house-warming when the council takes possession, to which, no doubt, Mideli cil of Council Bluffs and Ploveer council of this city will be invited, for 1t is well for brothren to dwell together in unity.
