The Mortgage.
The mortgage is a self-support
ing institution.
It always holds its own.
It calls for just as many dollars
when cotton is * cheap as when
cotton is dear.
It is not affected by the drouth.
It is not drowned out by the
heavy rains.
It never winter kills.
Late springs and early frosts
never trouble it.
Moth and rust do not destroy
it.
It grows nights, Sundays ,
rainy days and even holidays.
It brings a sure crop every year.
It produces cash every time.
It does not have to wait for the
market to advance.
It is not subject to speculations
of the bulls and bears of the
board of trade.
It is a load that galls and frets
and chafes.
It is a burden that the farmer
cannot shake off.
It is with him morning, noon
and night.
It eats with him at the table.
It gets under his pillow when
he sleeps.
It rides upon his shoulder
during the day.
It consumes his crop.
It devours his cattle.
It selects the finest horses and
the fattest steers.
It lives upon the first fruit of
the season.
It shares the children's bread
and robs them of their clothes.
It stooDS the toiler's back with
A.
its remorseless burden of care,
It hardens his hands, benumbs
his intellect, and prematurely
whitens his looks, and oft-times
sends him and his aged wife over
the hills to the poorhouse.
It is the inexorable and exact
ing taskmaster.
Its whip is as merciless and
cruel as the lash of the tyrant
driver.
It is a menace to liberty, a
hindrance to progress, a curse to
the world.
It Is Well To Remember.
Thai a woman likos to lx* regarded as
attractive if she is not pretty.
That a man has a strong belief in hi*
powers of penetralion.
That a woman lias no objection to hear
ing a man's stories of his business
sagacity.
That a man can make an enemy of it
woman by too much talk.
That a woman desires to he considered
as having high ideals of life.
That a man can make a farce; of a senti
ment by frequent repetition.
That a woman wants men to think she
knows more than she cares to tell.
That a man with social ambition expects
to he taken seriously.
That a woman's abuse of a man often
comes from a desire to hide her real
feelings.
That a man's usefulness can’t he ganged
Iv the trend of conversation.
