WHAT IS AMORTIZATION?
The Method of Providing For the Re
payment of a Loan.
Every now and then the plain man
who has saved a little money and
wants to invest it so that he will get
a reasonable and safe return runs
against a nest of terms which are be
wildering and all but meaningless. I’m
afraid be usually passes by without
taking the trouble to understand them.
Take the word ''amortization." I
bold that it’s no shame to any man
not to know what that word means.
And yet to Investors the word Is highly
Important
"Amortization” means simply the
method of providing for the repayment
of a loan. If you lend me $10,000,
which I promise to repay In ten years,
you have a right to be interested In
my plans for meeting the demand for
the $10,000 which you expect to make
upon me ten years hence.
So I say to you:
“I am going to amortize that $10,000
debt In this way: Out of my earnings
every year I’m going to set aside $900.
Each year I will set the $900 to work
earning something too. At the end of
ten years the fund will amount to Just
enough to discharge my debt"
You will And that specialists Id
bonds use the word a great deaL They
know better than anybody else Its Im
portance. They realize that a borrow
er of money for a long term of years
Is very apt to forget to make provision
for repayment
Certain lenders of money on long
terms Insist upon the borrower's tak
ing out a life Insurance policy big
enough to meet the debt In case of
death before the debt becomes due.
Qenerally the longer a debt has to run
the more Important becomes the ques
tion of “amortization.”—John M. Oski
son In Chicago News.
NAVAJOS FEAR THE DEAD.
Hence They Get Rid of Their Bodies ae
Quickly aa Poeaible.
One practice of the Navajos that pro
motes health among them, however re
pugnant It may be for us. Is their dis
position of the dead. In the presence
of the living the Navajo Is without
fear, but his terror of the dead la ab
ject and unreasoning. The dead are
believed to be possessed of malevolent
feelings toward the survivors, with un
limited powers for working evil upon
those who carelessly place themselves
within the power of the spirits.
So when any one dies the only anx
iety of the surviving relatives 1b to get
rid of the body as quickly as possible.
If there are any white men living In
the neighborhood an effort Is made to
Induce them to perform the offices of
undertaker. If not, the disposition of
the body depends somewhat upon cir
cumstances. If the bogan—the mod
ern wigwam—Is built of wood It Is set
on tire and burned with the body In It
If of stone the body Is usually taken
outside, the entrance to the bogan
closed up with stones or sticks and a
hole made In the wall opposite to per
mit the evil spirits to depart and to
warn passersby that the structure be
longs to the dead.
if the death occurred In a rocky
country the body will likely be taken
to some crevice and thrown In It It
may be left uncovered to become the
prey of wolves and coyotes, or sticks
and stones may be cast over It If
the family lives In a sandy part of the
reservation, with no convenient crev
ices or chasms near by, the body will
be laid upon the sand, a little earth
and some stones thrown upon It and a
pile of brush laid over alL—Christian
Herald.
The Judge Who Didn’t Joke.
The funny sayings of a Judge who
aever Joked are found In "Arablnl
ana," • selection of the dicta of Ser
geant William Arabln, who sat as a
lodge at the Old Bailey In London
from 1830 to 1839. For instance, his
remark to counsel:
"If you can show precisely at what
moment the offense was committed
and prove that the prisoner was not
there when be did it he could not pos
sibly have done it" And he sagely
idded as an afterthought “We cannot
Jivest ourselves of common sense In a
court of Justice."
Another axiom he delivered himself
of has been fathered on many other
occupants of the bench:
“If ever there was a case of clearer
evidence than this case, this case is
that case."

POWER OF VIRTUE.
The moral cement of society if
virtue. It unites and preserves,
while vice separates and destroys.
The good may well be termed the
salt of the earth, for where there is
no integrity there can be no confi
dence, and where there is no con
fidence there can be no unanimity.
