Executive Ability

Very few men arc blessed WIN 'h'
talent OF doing more then one thing
we'll, In the economy OF nature our
gifts, as q rule, are few. One may be
able to plan but cannot execute, while
his neighbours executive ability Is bis
strong point. The man is good at
the wheel, but lacks financial ability
another one can design china and
earlhenwarc OF superior style, but falls
short of success as n business manager.
Similar experiences are met with IN ev-
cry trade. Men may succeed in the rou-
tine OF designing, and in other de-
partments of potting, but when their
success in any one ofthesc encourage
them to essay manufacturing, they arc
all at sea, simply because the latter
position calls for the exercise of en-
tirely different qualifications. Now
and then again We find notable ex-
ceptlons to this rule. We meet oc-
casionally with men who possess a
combination Of different exccll-
ences, superior wherever they are
placed; but, on the whole, such in.
stances are rare--so in fact, that the'
exception only proves the rule. Such
men are successful. They must be-,
for they possess every requisite in the
whole range Of mechanical and execu'
tive ability. Other men, who know
nothing, practically, about the details
of construction and qualities of mat
erial, sometimes succeed, but they
have an executive power we'll develo-
ped, and supported by a clear judg.
ment trained by experience, they mas
ter all difficulties. One class of men
way not know how to draw the
simplest pattern, but, on the other
hand, they may possess good taste,
winch will enable them to decide
whether design is good or bad, and
their discernment toretells its recep.
ton with the trade. Give them a
basis and plan, and they will COM
plete the structure. On the other
hand, those who have the practical
routine thoroughly by heart, but lack
the executive power, generlly fail in
their attempt to do business. What
we wish to impress is the Importance
of executive talent. II is the all-pow.
erful lever. 1t is not always gift.
In nearly every man there is a germ,
which with proper cultivation, will
develop this trait to certain degree.
Young men learning the business
should study it in all its bearings and
afford it every opportunity for growth
With it success is possible, even if
mechanical genious and practical
apprenticeship is wanting, but with
out it the best workman is unified for
independent business operations. We
do not urge this point to the exclusion
of others, but we know its possession
is imperative.

ANNIE'S HUSBAND.

Godfrey Prime was very rich ant
successful merchant.

whom it was his delight to lavish cv'

Annie Prime was beautiful. and sht
was girl Of considerable sense, too
much so, indeed, to be easily suited in
her choice Of husband.
She had many suitors, but none o.
them suited her.
One day the merchant came home
to his splendid mansion, looking like {
ghost he was so pale. His hair seemed
to have grown several degrees whittier
since he went away in the morning.
Going TO his private room he locked
the door and loaded pistol.

endure to, live and see her suffer the
miseries OF poverty which her rearing
has i'll fitted her to bear"
Then he took the pistol in his hand
and looked at it calmly.
"You will do neither, if you please,
papa,' said Annie herself, coming for
ward from behind the curtain of a
window in which she had been sitting
since he entered the room. "What is
the matter? Why do you wish to

the verge of bankruptcy"
"Well, ! am surethat is bad enough
without your killing YOURSELF" said
Annie. "Do you imagine, oh, foolish
papa, that all the riches of the world
could not make up to me the loss Of
you?'
The merchant started and looked
down as If ashamed. Then he opened
wide his arms and his daughter flew
into them.
"Promise me this moment, papa,
she said, "that you will never think o.
such wicked, cruel thing again.

chant, with emotion, 81 never will.

possibly six weeks. I should not care
myself how soon the crash came, if
could see you provided for. Will you
not, in that time, choose yourself O
husband from among the many who
are so anxious to marry you?
Annie, seeing how earnestly her
father looked, said:
"I'll honestly try, papa. But who
ever choose must know the truth
about your affairs before / shall marry
him."
"Certainly," said her father, but
am sure it will make no difference
You are too sweat and beautiful to bt

Upon the following evening, wher
Annie received company, she made Q
careful toilet.

Enthusiasm Was 10 word for It. Not
wi.hstsndlnC The recent refusal here and
at Gilcs TO divide time with MS, the Fun
ders we're promptly granite IN equal di-
vision at Abingdon. Pendlcton and
Fowler divided with Penn and Buchsn-
an. Fowler closed, following Buchanan.
when the latter closed, and Fowler
commenced, the Fundcls showed their
appreciation OF the courtesy extended
them by leaving the Court room in u
body, except few 10 take notes and ie-
port. II only served to show the paucl-
ty OF the Funder numbers. There wac
the proof, The Rpadjusters were lhus
shown to have about seven eightR of the
crowd. The effort to condemn FulAer-
son for voting (2) for Cook, over Sulll-
van, when the Funders had put their
best robe on MoHett and jewelleI his
finger, for the same thing fell on them
like n clap OF thunder. aud the audience
became Wild and uproarous to- degree
that cannot be described The cheers
for Fulkerson aud July rose like the
roar Of The gen, aud Penn had to stop
for time, until Judge Ward asked that
he be allowed to 60 on.
