Said old Cornelius Vanderbilt to a young 
man who came to tell him the story of 
how he had lost money by stock operations: 
“Sonny, don’t ever buy what you can’t pay 
for and don’t sell what you havn’t got.” 
“You’re not worth your salt” said an Illin¬ 
ois farmer a few years ago to his daughter. 
“Yes I am” replied the damsel, and she insis¬ 
ted that henceforth her services must be paid 
for at the rate paid a servant for doing the 
same duties. The farmer had forgotten the 
contract when the daughter the other day, 
produced it and demanded $500, the balance 
due her—and got it, too, as she threatened to 
sue for it.
