Resources OF the Business
Man.

The resources of an individual do
not consist solely of the few hun
dreds or thousands of dollars that
he may chance to possess, and which
may, or may not, be invested to
their full amount in his legitimate
business. An energetic and COM
petent man has q real capital aside
from his mere money Investments
His cash capital is Only auxiliary to
his acquaintance with the traffic in
which he is engaged, and the spirit
and energy he manifests in turning
his means to proper account. The
fertility of invention displayed in
all the various branches of industry
assists greatly In keeping the wheels
of commerce in motion. This shares
in an equal degree with money the
honor of building up monuments
that everywhere bespeak mans pro-
gress and improvement.
1t Is quite as essential, in order to
secure profitable returns, that q man
entering upon any business have
skill, judgment and perseverance,
as that he have capital, according to
the generally accepted meaning of
the term. If capital lie dormant, it
will produce nothing. It is the
skill and energy with which capital
is employed and made useful, that
In the end give profit. Men of ex-
perience have made q start in mer-
camille life with little or no material
wealth of their own. They did bus
mess with borrowed money, but
they were men who possessed the
requisite abilities within themselves
to push their way up in the world.
A merchants resources consist of
his manner of turning trifiing cir
cumstances to q permanent advRn-
tage. His manner of transacting
his affairs speak well or ill for his
future success. Twice Sc much
money as is necessary to conduct q
given business, would in some
hands be squandered by bad man
agement; and the person or per-
sons conducting it find themselves
bankrupts when they should haYe
" successful, q merchant should
have an intimate knowledge of the
exact wants of his customers, and
the proper time to buy as well as
sell commodities. Knowledge is
truly b1aO 70 10 power. IN tue NIoW
above expressed, we find it is pre-
eminently so. A moneyed man who
trusts every undertaking to blind
chance, is pretty sure TO become
bankrupt In the end. IL would be
iquite as jocicio1s for 9 mariner to
90 TO Sea without compass, trust
ing entirely 70 the strength OF his
ship to bring him safely out of the
many dangers that constantly besei
him, as for 8 merchant to rely solely
upon his ample inherited wealth fol
success. The ship is necessary "a
the business OF the mariner, and
money is also necessary. to the ven.
lures of All classes of mercantii,

Really an Elegant Thing.

The new Rocky Mountain Tourist,
just from the press, is indeed an ar
tistic gem. In point of engravings,
printing and descriptive 1t is beyond
all question the handsomest publication
of the character ever issued in the
United States. There are in this work
no less than sixteen of Thomas Moran's
exquisite drawings, and amsnR them
his famous reproduction of the Mount
of Holy Cross. OF Moran's other
matchless drawings are those of Grand,
Glen, Marble, Knab and Poulder Can
ons, Twin Lakes, Teocalli Mountain,
etc. Joseph Beard is represented by
characteristic hunting sketches, Bisb-
ing by several exceedingly attractive
mountain sketches, Lancelot by spirit
ed drawings of the remarkable rock
sculpture on White River, and Henry
Worrall by full-page views at Veta
Pass and Wagon Wheel Gap, as well
as large number of other very finely
executed sketches in different portions
of the western country. The engrav-
ings are for the most part large, the
full quartO pages of the Tourist enab-
ling the showing to the finest advan-
tage of plates seven by ten inches.
The book comprises sixty-four pages +,
exclusive of the cover, and printed as
/ IL 10 upon SuPOEStAOO duO Oo1ahOOION
paper ofthe richest finish, the effect
throughout is superb. While a very
model of typographical beauty, the
Tourist is none the less practical in its
range of information, time, distances,
railroad and stage fares, hotel and liv-
cry rates being noted with uniform
accuracy and in so easy and pleasing a
manner as to entirely relieve the work
of everything approaching the tedious
detail of the average guide book. Con-
tanning no advertisements of whatever
character, the new Rocky Mountain
Tourist is fit companion co Picturesque
America 10 any gentleman's library.
Specimen copy may be had without
cost by writing to w. F. White, Tope-
ka, Kansas.

Terrible Liar.

;tHe was the orfuIest liar ever
seen,0 said Cooley OLeary, as we
returned from his friends funeral.
"Why, he told me once that he
lived on small island in the Pacific
ocean on which there was volcono.
And he said there was an active de-
mand out in that region for water
MELONS, so he went into the bust
ness of raising them. And he said
one year his whole crop failed ex-
cept one mellon, and that kept on
growing at such a fearful rate that
it crowded him off the lowiand
and up tie side of the volcano,
which generated steam and caused
an explosion, which blew the whole
concern to atoms, and shot him four
hundred miles out to sea where he
was picked up by q whaIer. He
used to tell that the one great mis-
take of his life was that he didn't
drive a plug in the crater of the vol
cano so as to make it water tight,
and then slice open the watermelon
and come sailing home on the half
she'll.
"He would lie. He said that once
he was cast away on an iceberg,
with no baggage but pair of skates
and q fishing-pote. But he sksted
around until he came across q dead
whale, frozen into the ice. So he
took of his shirt-it was night for
six months that year up therefore
it into strips for wick, run the
strips through the bamboo fishing
rod, stuck the rod into the fat of
the whale, and lit the other end.
He said it burned splendidly, and
the iceberg reflected the light go
strongly that it was bright as day
for forty miles around, and one yes
sci ran into the iceberg, thinking il
was q lighthouse. He said he sold
the iceberg to the captain for 3d.

Sample Papers,
Fort Scott Monitor.


"Please send me q sample COPY of
your paper. I am thinking of NOV
ing west and want to see what kind
of town you have" This is the
tenor of letters received at this of
fee day after day, from all parts of
the north and east, and we suppose
other newspapers in other towns
have q similar experience. Men
Judge of a place by the character of
its newspaper, and of its business
men by the amount of their adver-
Using. 1t is particularly the case
with intelligent men seeking q
change of location. They want to
know something of the people with
whom they propose to cast their lot,
and one copy of local newspaper
furnishes all the Information they
want. The climate, character of
the soil, etc., are matters that can be
gathered from other sources; but as
to the amount of business, and
whether the merchants are wide
awake, stirring and prosperous, or
sleepy, stupid and starving, come
more accurately from a glance at the
local paper than from any and ali
other sources combined.
1t is not true, then, when one
says it does not pay to advertise.
The experience of the best and most
successful business men proves that
it does pay, and many of the large
fortunes of to-day are the direct re-
suit of extensive, and at the same
time, judicious advertising.
Our city cannot stand still it
must increase or decrease in num-
bers. Whatever increase we get
must come mainly from immigra-
ton. We must have more of both
consumers and producers. If we
cannot induce others to come, the
more enterprising of those we have
will go. There are many ways of
bringing people here, none of which
should be neglected. Among them,
and perhaps the most potent of all
is to advertise in such q way that
when your paper goes out among
those who are looking for q new
location, they will see that you are
a live people, and therefore q good
people to tie to. This is one of the
means that should not be neglected,

Every unkind word uttered will
in the end be the means of infiict-

awaiting Us in the storehouse on
the other side, and even for mere
selfish motives it is surprising that
more do not scatter seeds of kind
ness for reaping by-and-by.
Hearts may grow callous and ears
deaf to the sufferings of others, but
in the very bunting of sensibility
to others pain they shut off ell ca
pacity Tor enjoyment in themselves,
and their harvest will prove to be-
if nothing worse better
than useless weeds.
There are none who, at some pc
riod, have not sacrificed something
for another's sake, and If they were
to speak the truth would acknowl-
edge that one such act is q greater
source of pleasure than the memory
of thousand Qualifications gained
at the expense of another. Having
once reaped the fruit of such q
planting, having realized the deep
and never-failing source of pleas
ure in rejecting upon the course
they had pursued in seed time, it
seems the very height of folly to
spend lifetime in sowing bitter
herbs and thorns to choke out the
pitiful little crop that tries in vain
to spring up from the few good
seeds we may have sown.
| When the harvest comes, those
who have scattered seeds of woe
will find it useless to wall over the
recklessness that blinded them to
the consequences of their acts.
Perhaps some little one, who should
have been tenderly cherished, has

shrinking heart, now stilled forev-

sower, what lesson to profit by.
