In a see'ond Hope was on top of her, dragging her arms together, holding down Anita's wris,ts with one hand and tearing at the bedclothes with the other. She managed to jerk the counter- pane free, and with difficulty, for the woman struggled furiously, wound it around Anita's body, biding down her arms. She began to scream, and Hope stuffed the end of the spread in her mouth. It was an effectual gag. She tore a sheet into slrijif, and with thf^i securely tied Anita's bands and ankles.

We have allowed our- selves to pick up whatever ideas we could atjsorb without effort; conse- quently we have become mentally lazy and Inefficient. In order to im- prove our condition, we must neces- sarily discipliue ourselves by exer- cising the mind, making it subservi- ent and obedient to the will. This discipline is necessary for the welfare of any business. 'In Great Britain and Scandinavia .voung men are placed in stores to serve an apprenticeship, just as they do in any other trade. They are first obedience to discipline. They are thoroughly trained, even to the minutest detail. Unfortunately, in America no hu< h apprenticeship sys- tem exists.

No greater misfortune could possibly be his. More young men have been ruined by drawing large sal- aries early in their business life than by any other cause. The young man. generally speak- ing, feels that while he is young and before he settles down he "must see something of the world," as he ex- presses it. Instead of devoting his spare hours to reading and study to improve his mind, he often passes them In idleness and dissipation. Kre long not only has he acquired bad habits that are hard to break, but his health may have become impaired. It is absolutely Impossible for a young man to spend the night in dissipation and be at his best the next day. poral punishment may be necessary to teach these young people that they! cannot continue to do wrong with im- punity.
