THE WAY TO SUCCEED.
views OF u. +. JeiTery, General Manager Of
the Illinois Central Railroad.

Average ability, perseverance, hon
esty, candOr and other characteristics
OF manlincss are the m~ainsprings to
success. A boy who has learned the
alphabet has the whole world open be-
fore him. He has the key to all
knowledge, and with experience will
acquire wisdom to guide him in ma
ture years in all his undertakings.
Perseverance will lead him to climb
the ladder of learning after having
mastered the twenty-six letters of the
alphabet. Honesty and candor and
other manly attributes will win for
him the respect and confidence Of all
with whom he may come in contact.
The influence acquired through gain
ing ne respect and confidence Of 9TH
ers will give him strength and power
in what is right and good. Without
influence thus acquired over others,
and used and exerted in the right,
learning, experience, wisdom, wealth
and social position IRE of small value.
The plOdding, p~ainstaking, pcrsever-
ing honest mar Of common sense will
accomplish more in this world, and is
of more use in it than the cratic
genius.
Speaking specifically of success in
business as separate and distinct
from all other successes, the causes
are economy, thrift, close at
tention TO details, thorough and
comprehensive understanding and
knowledge Of tho business engaged in,
discrimination In selecting business
associates, and the acquiring and hold
ing of the confidence Of the business
community.
Failure in business, like failure in
every thing else, springs from shiftless-
ness, ~inattention, luxurious habits, and
a desire to make money too rapidly,
and tho taking of chances in con
sequence thereof; mistakes in the
selection OF business associates and
the failure to acquire the confidence
OF those upon whom tho business is de-
pendent for support. The love OF
money-making leads many to assume
large risks in order that they may ac-
quire large gains. The risk of losing
in such cases is usually greater than
the chance of making money. When
cverthe old, well established principles
Of conducting business arc departed
from, failure is more imminent than
success. An habitual violation OF the
old-timc maxims: "A penny saved is
u penny earned" Buy when others
must sell, and sell when others must
buy;" Purchase only that for what
you Gun pay" and others similar in
tone, leads TO disaster.

FORMING A TREE-TOP,
A simple Arrangement for bringing the
Limbs In Proper Position.

1t is OF the utmost Importance that
young trees start out with a we'll
formed top. They arc to stand as
monuments of the c|ultiyator's work.
perhaps for centuries after his hands
have ceased to toll, They may be liy-
ing green memorials of work well
done, or unsightly objects Of mans
neglect and abuse. Their usefulness
depends altogether upon this early
training. Low, broad tops are espc-
cIalIy desirable, and they very seldom
attain them, unless trained with this
object in view. Until young trees arc
finally placed in the orchard. the
treatment and way of handling tends
to draw the limbs up near the trunk,
and unless this is counteracted. thew
assume an almost vertical growth,
giving the tree a narrow and con-
tracted appearance. Such trees are
usually mfruitful, and not at all con-
venient for gathering the fruit. Close
contact and rapid growth causes the
limbs to grow up, and when removed
they are tied in the smallest possible
bundle and drawn together in a little
knot at the top, Perhaps after re-
naming there for a week or two they
are united and buried for the winter.
the tops being pressed together I'M
naturally for five or six months.
After all this p~crvcrsion some even
claim that any after-training is
unnecessary and injurious as
they will naturally take that
form best adapted to their location and
condition. If the form had not been
artiiicially nodded, we could more
readily allow nature to execute her
own designs; but when natures func-
tons are usurped, we must carry on
the work to completion; the contracted
top must be brought back into natural
shape, il we would have a thoroughly
fruitful tree. In most cases the trces
as we receive them from the nursery
are so deformed in shape so far as the
branches are concerned that the trunk
is not at all protected by the narrow
top, but is left exposed to wind and
sun, which work such havoc in the
alternating weather of our Northern
winters. An arrangement nav be
- 49,,
made with but little trouble or OK
pense for bringing the limbs into
proper position. A frame may be made
by driving four posts three feet aport
at the ground and five at the top, their
height corresponding to that of the
tree. Cross strips can be cut from
battin stuff or any odd pieces on hand.
These should be nailed firmly to the
posts; one row around will do, but two
will add TO the strength of tho frame
and make it a better protection for the
young trees against young animals.
Tarred rope or cord may be used for
tying the limbs down to the cross
pieces. Broad strips of cloth are best
to attach to attach TO the limbs. that
the bark may not be impaired or the
growth contracted. Let the limbs be
drawn down gradually, u little at a
time, through the growing season.

This splendid famous Fair Of ours,
Its booths heaped up with gold and flowers,
Seems wearisome to her and me.
For In this town Of Vanity,
And in this Far, the Truth 70 tell,
All treasures quickly feet away,
All roses 1ither In a day,
And not one fairing 'dureth well.
And Of our nature now We love,
And over from ourselves have past
We can not help, 50 tenderiy,

To wish some blessing that shall last.
We hall incline the town 10 leave.
And pilgrim DER the plains afar,
Our faces toward the western SKY,

Along the blue horizon bar.
But in this town Of Vanity

Lest we should meet the R~rieyous end
That did one Faithful. Christians friend,

A Valuable Industry.

The purchase of tract of land so
by 1870 feet near the Milan street car barn
was consummated yesterday by the Olson
Bros. Pottery company and work on the
foundation of the pottery heretofore al
luded to in the ARGUS is well under way.
This will prove one of the most valuable
acquisitions to Rock Islands industrial
pursuits. Mr.. M. Olson has had a wide
experience in the manufacture of tile,
stoves and mantels in the only factory of
the kind in the country and located at
Dassel, Mimi, and while the new indus
try will engage largely in the maDufacH
ture of pottery, much attention will be
given to the clay stoves and mantels.
