Ideas are Worth Money.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
A half dozen of the most successful
men were recently asked what chance
young men have to get along in the
world these days, writes a New York
correspondent. Mr.. Jay Gould, Mr..
Russell Sage, Mr.. James Gordon Ben
nett, DR.. NOrvin Green and Charles A.
Dana said the outlook was never so
good as now.
"What one quality should they pos
sess to succeed best ?" was asked each.
Russell Sage replied, "Cauticn )" Jay
Gould, Perseverance; ;" DR.. Green,
"Hard Work ;" Mr.. Bennett, "Enter-
prise ;" Mr.. Dana, "Brains."
Perhaps Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer of the
World summed it up in the best way
"My dear sir" he said to an appli-
cant for position on the World some
time ago, "what can you do"
"Anything," was the cheerful reply.
eyes, but you must certainly be able
to do one thing better than another"
ooh, yes," was the response, 81 can
write well on most any subject, am a
good executive man and am fertile in
IDEAS"
"Oh," was Mr.. Pulitzer's reply,
"fertile in IDEAS" And he drew his
chair up closer to his visitor and peer
ed anxiously into his face. "Then you
are just the man l want. How many
good ideas have you lying around
loose that l could utilize in increasing
the circulation of the World 7"
"Oh, [ could give You 90" was the
calm rejoiner.
"Twenty," said Mr.. Pulitzer in as
constituent.

"Well, now try it. Go home and
write me out 20 good ideas or sugges-
tiOns for increasing the circulation of
the World. Send me your list tOmor-
row. | will pay you 800 for each
idea l accept. My check for $4,000 will
be mailed to you at once if | accept
them all, and [ hope can, for we need
new ideas here all the time, and then
we can make a permanent arrange
ment.
81 will pay you 800 week for a
good idea, and you needn't come to
the office, either. Yes, I'll do more ;
I'll buy you a fine pair of horses, so
that you may drive around town and
enjoy yourself in the park. Your for
tune is made if you can do as you say"
The young man did send in his ideas
carefully written out and they were
promptly returned to him as worthless.
Instead of riding through the park in a
luxurious coach he is now holding
down a chair in bOwery cheap lodg-
ing house.
He possessed brasf, but not brains.

November Magazines.

The melancholy days have come,
but Harper's Magazine for November
brightens them perceptibly. There is
no flavor of decay about it, and its
leaves are as fresh and clean as in
summer time. The range of subjects
is wide, and there is catering to many
kinds of literary taste. Two articles,
'1nvalidism as fine art" and "The
New Orleans bench and bar in 1925"
can hardly fail to charm every one
who reads them. The illustrations all
through are most artistic, and the de-
partments show their usual sweetness,
light and common sense.
Scribner's Magazine for November
contains notable group of articles by
eminent men, two of whOm-General
Philip H. Sheridan and Lester Wal
lack-have recently died. 1t also has
the first instalment of romantic novel
of adventure, by Robert Louis Steven
son, which promises to rival "Kidnap-
ped" in popularity. General A. w.
Greedy, Augustine Birrell, and w. G.
BrOwnell are among the contributors,
while artists like A. B. Frost, William
Hole, and Rufus Zogbaum have fur
nished elaborate illustrations.

The Prosperous Flannel Shirt.
The Hnberddsher.


The flannel shirt has come to stay.
This season has settled that fact be-
yOnd question. Never before has there
been so many goods sold by the manu-
facturer to the retailer; never before
has the retailer sold out so thoroughly;
never before has the public bought
fiannels so readily, SO extensively or
used them for such a variety of purpo-
ses. Their comfort, convenience, and
fitness as hot-weather garments has he
come so fairly fixed that to question it
is idle.
A year ago manufacturers went into
flannels with a good deal of confidence
on their own behalf but there was a
good deal of quiet questioning whether
or not the retailers would be able to
"clear up" all their purchases. Some
thought they would not, that the de-
mand for flannel shirts was a Temporal
ry thing, and that retailers would suf-
fer. There is no such belief this year,
and manufacturers are making pur-
chases of hannels for next season which
indicate an entire freedom from timidi-

ga Christmas Carol" by Dinah Ma

From the quaint figure who stands at
the opening of the poem with his salu
tation through the beautifully decOrat
ed pages with the cherubs, pastoral

ocean views and floral designs, to the
benediction, exquisite taste and poetic
genius have together produced a mar
vel of grace and beauty. Price $I.O0.
ga Friend Stands at the Door," by

a very appropriate holiday gift.

After Sedan.

General Sheridan in Scri5ner's for November.
Near the gate of the city we came on
the German picket line, and one of the
officers recognizing our unifOrms-he
having served in the war of the REBEL
ion-stepped forward and addressed
me in good English. We naturally
fell into conversation, and in the midst
of it there came out through the gate
an open carriage or landau, containing
two men, one of whom, in the uniform
of general and smoking a cigarette,
we recognized, when the conveyance
drew near, as Emperor Louis NapO
leon. The landau went on toward
Donchery at leisurely pace, and we,
inferring that there was something
more important at hand just then than
the recovery of our trap, followed at a
respectful distance. Not quite mile
from Donchery is cluster of three or
four cottages, and at the first of these
the landau stopped to await, as we af
terward ascertained, Count Bismarck,
with whom the diplomatic negotiations
were to be settled. Some minutes
elapsed before he came, Napoleon re-
naming seated in his carriage mean
time, still smoking and accepting with
nOnchalance the staring of a group of
German soldiers near by, who were
gazing on their fallen foe with curious
and eager interest.
Presently Gathering of hoOfs was
heard, and looking toward the sound l
perceived the Chancellor cantering
down the road. When abreast of the
carriage he dismOunted, and walking
up to it, saluted the Emperor in
quick, brusque way that seemed to
startle him. After word or two the
party moved perhaps a hundred yards
further on, where they stopped oppo-
site the weaver's cottage so famous
from that day.

Give Thy Horse his Head.
Milford Mass ! .JournoI

A few weeks ago, two horses were
drawing each load of Goals up a ris-
ing ground in the suburbs of our city.
The hinder horse had the check rein
swung loosely on his neck, and the an
imal was hanging his head forwards,
and by throwing his weight into the
collar, was dragging his load steadily
and without undue strain on his mus
cles and joints. The foremost horse,
with his load, was braced up with a
tight check-rein, his head cramped and
raised, his mouth fretted and every
joint and muscle starting and strained
at each step he took. The two men
were talking to each other, and the
carter of the hinder horse was heard to
say, "Bill, go and give thy horse his
head he'll pull that load easier" Bill
went and let down the check-rein. The
horse Immediately did his work in a
way which conveyed the relief he felt
as clearly as if he had said, "There,
thank you; I'm all right now" We
would advise every one who has the
charge of a draught horse when he is
at work, to follow the advice, "Give
thy horse his head he'll pull that load
easier"

Use More Johnny Cake.

The bakers in some quarters of the
city find it hard to keep up the adj
vance in the price of bread, and seve-
raj of them report a decrease in the
purchase of lOaves and rolls. Some
people are using more potatoes than
formerly, and others are taking to the
use of corn bread, while yet others are
doing their own baking, which, how
ever, has not been found especially ad-
vantageous, in an economic or gusta-
tory point of view.
To those who need the suggestion,
we again suggest the larger use of A
merican cornmeal, which is a whole
some, palatable and nutritious article
of diet.

lowing: A bunch of flowers sent him by
the American consul in Egypt. These
flowers were plucbed from the Mount of
Olives and mai ed from Jerusalem The
doctor has also II Photographic view of the
Mount of Olives and the Mosk of Omar,

this collection from the old country came a
coin with a representation of three sheaves
of wheat on one side, and on the opposite
side was the umbrella of state and Greek
inscription, King Herod Agrippa Ammo
Domini viz This coin looks to have been
of bronze or brass but has no regularity
nor symmetry about its form. This coin
was in use at the time Christ was
but small boy. The Doctor
has also collection of about
1900 old and unique postage
stamps, representing nearly every country
upon the globe, some of which are United
States stamps, South America, Hayti,
Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, Norway,
Holland, Turkey, England, Austria and ia

of any, being only two little caricatures
upon a small square piece of paper Among
