Commercial Proverbs.

Men who have company must have
money.
Some men carry too much sail, some
too little.
Great men when analysed usually
prove to be very small men.
Men trade on borrowed reputation
as they trade on borrowed capital.
Good intentions will not help a man
on his way it he takes the wrong road.
The history of trade shows that fail
ure is the rule and winning the excep-
tion.~
Money moves the crops that make
the great West the granary of the
world.
One man is over-nice and becomes
fussy; another is careless and loses his
trade.
The same great lesson of failure is
taught in the professions that is taught
in trade.
One man ruins his business because
he is sloven: another ruins it because
he is fop.
Men neither win nor lose in the same
way. One fails and is smart; another
wins and is dull.
Talent and temper often go together.
1t is rare to find a sharp, bright man
that is courteous man.
The merchants of old Tyre were
"princes and her ,traffickers were the
honorable of the earth.
Integrity, honesty and piety do not
save a man from disasters if he fails
| to observe the law of success.
The law of success is as. certain as
the law of the. tides. All must obey
these laws if they would prosper.
A diamond with flaw is better than
| pebble without. But the flaw adds
nothing to the value of the diamond.

Curious Freak of a millionaire.


There are SO many ways of spend
ing and losing fortune that perhaps
nobody desires to be informed of
new method for this purpose. heard
yesterday, however, of plan which
seemed to me so Ingenious and so ad-
mirably calculated for dissipating
any amount of money that can not
forbear recounting it. 1t seems that
a young man found himself on the
death of his father and mother in un-
restricted possession of $1,50O,000.
When the period of mourning had ex-
pired, he bought small circus, and
travelled about with it in the capacity
of chief Snowman. How long the fun
lasted. or wnat small sum the circus
properties fetched when they were
sold at auction by the creditors of the
concern, | am not informed. l have
spoken lightly of this affair, and
yet my higher nature revolts at such
treatment of it. As we are all of US
Hamlets, so do we all love the circus,
admire the riders and acrobats, and
cherish an undying affection for the
clown. would not give pinch of
salt for the man whose Imagination is
not aroused by the very word circus;
and for my part trust that the young
man whom l have mentioned acquired
such skill in his short career as a cir
Gus proprietor that he will be able to
recover from the public. under those
auspices. part at least of the sum
which he lost in his rash but excusable
investment. Boston Post

About Kisses.

Nothing is more dainty than the kiss
OF a well-bred woman, who, mindful
of the time and trouble spent over the
powder-box. gently presses her lips on
your hair just north of your ear
The minister's wife is another sweet
soul who knows where kiss will do
the least harm, and her favorite meth
od is an air kiss, with gentle pressure
Of her cheek to your cheek The wo-
man of fashion kisses you anywhere
about the triangle between the eye, ear
and hair line. She has learned long
ago about the incompatibility of haste
and grace, and as she advances YOU
see her lips turn in, and simultaneous
with the kiss is a thick, vicious noise
that sounds like the tearing of mid
dle-aged marshmallow drop. Married
women are more addicted to kissing
than single ones, and they are the very
kisses that young woman least en-
joys, for the reason that their lips are
always wet. Kissing the face of an
irregularly powdered, soapy smelling
dame is about as unsavory pastime
as gathering bouquet of dandelions.

How Nero Died.

As there are degrees of quality in a
man, SO there are in an animal. There
are good, bad and Indifferent men, and
the same can be said of dogs. One of
the noblest dogs we ever met died last
night. We owned him five years and
we knew him thoroughly. So did the
children of the neighborhood, who
climbed on and tumbled over his mas
sive form. So did the newsboys, who
found him almost daily at the office.
and they rarely passed him without
giving him patting, if not a hugging.
The fact that he was a bloodnood, and
of remarkable size, made some people
strangers to his disposition timid with
him. But there was nothing to justify
the fear. He was the essence of gen.
tleness, and children, who are the
first to know their friends, instructive
ly recognized this. He never growled
at them. He never even frOwned upon
them. When they became too demon
strative he Immediately withdrew from
their society. Nero left the office for
home last evening in good spirits. At
ter supper and drink he manifested
a desire to go to bed. As he was get
ting quite blind light was used to
show him the way This morning al
daylight he was found outside his bed,
lying on the floor, quietly sleeping to
all appearances. But he was dead
They say he died of heart disease. But
death came to him as we like to have
it come to all of gentle nature-with
out uproar.-Dan6ury Conn., NeWS

The Artists Model.

In his "reminiscences Mr.. Firth, the
English artist relates charming story
of that often maligned woman, the
artists model. To give it as he tells
it: A female model was the sitter and
was placed with her back to the
student, half leaning, half reclining,
in an attitude full of grace. l had
arrived late and was compelled to take
the only vacant seat at the end of the
semi-circle, from which had a view
of the models profile. The face was
new to me; the attitude seemed a very
easy one. was, therefore, surprised
to sec tears slowly falling down the
models cheek. l thought | ought to
draw the attention of the visitor to the
fact and did so. 80 mol" said Jones.
''she can't be in pain, no. I think I
know what distresses her. Take no
notice. Go on with your work" The
next night the sitting was repeated,
but the tears were not, and l thought
little more about the matter. A few
months after this a very modest, re-
spectable-loOking girl was sent to me
by friend as model and I engaged
her at once for picture l had just
commenced. | found the girl was the
daughter of a tailor in a very small
way of business, and that she was in
every particular respectable person.
Ii was not till after two or three sit
tings, and on looking again and again
at her profile, that it struck me that
had seen the tears coursing each other
down it in the life school. Surely,
Miss B, | can not be mistaken;
you sat for Mr.. Jnnes at the Royal
academy" She blushed terribly, and
the tears came again. Now tell me
why you did such thing?" s.I did it,"
she said, "to prevent my father going
to prison. He owed f3 los, ($17. .5O),
and if he couldn't have paid it by that
Saturday night he was to be arrested.
The academy paid me 3 guineas for the
week and saved him. l never sat in
that way before, and 1 never will
again." And | believe she never did.
She is at the present time in position
of life far beyond anything she could
have aspired to. She is a mother and
a grandmother. and no one has any
idea tnat she sat for nude figure to
save her father from prison,

Having Fun with the Birds.

A novel sight greeted the eyes of a
reporter who was strolling about Irv,
Hudson few days ago,
says the New York ConlDlercidL-Ad-
Tertiser. The stroller had been view
ing the summer residence of jay Gould
with a half-formed notion of purchas-
ing it if it suited him, but as the house
is half mile off the main road he con-
cluded it would take too much valu-
able time to walk to and from the front
gate. Having thus satisfied himself
as to the undesirability of the Gould
villa for his purpose the stroller wan
dered out into the country, where he
came across lad flying kite. There
was just wind enough to keep the
string fairly taut.
'.Does she pull, bubP" asked the
stroller.
Not very much, but Just enough to
have fun with the BIRDS" was the re-
ply.
Fun with the birds; what do you
meanP'
.'Why, can't you see the birdsP Just
watch for a minute and you'll see what
mean"
The kite was sailing gracefully aloft.
waving her long tail as though proud
of her high position in the world.
Skimming through the air, round
about the kite and along the string,
were a large number of swallows.
After while one of the birds lit on
the string about half way between the
boys hand and the kite; then another
and another alighted in the same man
ner that birds are wont to line tele-
graph wires. As the gathering weight
increased with each additional bird
the string drooped until it almost
touched the tops of the corn-stalks in
a neighboring field, and it looked as
if the kite itself would be borne to the
ground. Then the boy gave the string
a sudden jerk, and the startled swal-
lows scurried off in what seemed to be
a mad game of tag, and the string, re-
leased of its feathered burden, once
more became taut and the kite arose
to its former high position. Soon,
however, the birds returned to the
string and again almost bore the kite
to the ground.
''Do the swallows always light on a
kite string that way?" asked the re-
porter.
"Yes, whenever let 'em. 1 like to
play with them. It's great fun."
Let me hold the string minuteP"
said the stroller, and as he found him.
self flying a kite once more his
thoughts went back to his own boy
hood days. though he never before
had played with the birds in that way.
Again and again the little feathered
tralnps alighted along the string. only
to be dislodged by the sudden jerk of
the kite-fyer's hand. The birds real
ly seemed to enjoy the fun.

He Told Everything.

"Wnen a young man." said Mr..
Weed to writer in Dress, II had to
adopt regular method forstrengthen-
ing my memory, and 1 hit on one that
was very effective. l got married in
1918, when L was working in Albany
as journeyman printer. In few
months | went into business, establish
ing "a newspaper for myself. and some
of my friends thought l would succeed
in politics, probably because l inn
pressed my views strongly upon those
about me. But saw at once that l
had fatal weakness which / thought
would prevent it. Ny memory was a
sieve; l could remember nothing.
Dates, names, appointments, faces,
everything escaped me. / said to my
wife: Catherine, 1 shall never make
a successful politician, for cannot re-
member. and that is a prime necessity
of politicians. A politician who sees
man once should remember him for
ever My wife told me 1 must train
my memory. So when l came home
that night l sat down alone, and spent
fifteen minutes trying silently to recall
with accuracy the principal events of
the day. could remember but little
at first; now l remember that l could
not then recall what had for break
fast. .
"After few days. practice found
[ could recall more. Events came
back to me more minutely, more ac-
curately, and more vividly than at
first. After fortnight or so of this,
Catherine said: Why don't you re-
late to me the events of the day, in
stead of recalling them to yourselfP
1t would be interesting, and my inter-
est in it would be stimulus to you.
Having great respect for my wife's
opinion, began habit of oral con-
fession, as it were, which was con-
tinued for almost fifty years. Every
night, the last thing before retiring, l
told her everything | could remember
that had happened to me, or about me,
during the day. L generally recalled
the very dishes | had had for break
fast, dinner and tea; the people had
seen and what they said; the editorials
l had written for my paper, giving her
brief abstracts of them; l mentioned
all the letters had sent. and received,
and the very language used, as nearly
as possible; when had walked or rid
den l told her everything that had
come within my observation. found
l could say my lessons better and bet
ter every year, and, instead of the
practice becoming irksome, it became
a pleasure to go over again the events
of the day. | am indebted to this dis
cipline for memory OF somewhat un-
usual tenacity, and recommend the
practice to all who wish to store up
facts, or expect to have much to do
with influencing men,
