A Lesson In Self Reliance,

Mr.. Depew told me an anecjote. A
good many years ago young freight clerk
was employed at one OF the country sta
iions of the Eue Riilrosd He was farm.
er's boy. who had nothing but a common
school education, but was regarded as q
bright chap. He viudicated this youthful
reputation by bis management OF the little
/ freight business to which he had TO attend,
and was soon transferred to more impor.
tant place near Buffalo. There he began
to reveal the genius that was 10 him by
suggesting certain new methods OF deal
ing with freight, aud there he came under
the eye of Commodore Vanderbilt,
| Some time later after the consolidation
Of the Hudson River and New York Cen
tral railroads the old commodore desired
to get q man to take charge Of the freight
business, and thought OF this young man. !.
He sent for bim aud offered him a salary
OF SI5 900 year to assume the duties Of
master Of freight transportation. The
clerk was a rosy checked, yellow. haired
young msu, who at once accepted the
offer with such confidence in bis abilities
~ to please the old commodore, who hat
ed . man who had no self-coniidence.
Not long after he took charge very com

If he made mistake he felt that it would
be fatal to his reputation, probably to his
career, while il he succeeded he would
simply accomplish what be had been hr
ed 10 do. At last in his anxiety be ven
tuned to call upon the old commodore.
stated the difficulty to him and asked ad
vice The old mau looked at him mo.
ment aud then said:
jim, what does the Central hire you
foi?
To take charge OF the transportation.
Well. do you expect am going to earn
your salary for you2
That was all the commodore said. aud
the young man turned on his heel and left
him. He went out and acted on bis own
Judgement; acted with unerrins foresight
and was soon promoted to the vice.presi
dency. Later on be succeeded William
II Vanderbilt as president Of the New
York Central system That was the ca
reer OF Jim Rutter. Mr.. Depew said, aud
be characterized Rutteras one OF the great.
est railroad geniuses that the age OF rail
road has produced Rutter killed him

work. habit which Mr.. Depew neither
encourages by his own example or favors

Tell The Truth Always.

! OF two advertisers the one who tells the
whole truth concerning an article will in
time be more successful than he who tells
only portion OF the truth.
This does not mean that advertisers or
salesmen shall talk simply for the pleasure
OF showing how much they know concern-
ing the goods. Experience has fully dem
onstrated the truth Of the slang phrase,
Talk cheap, and it is well known that
the salesman who talks iucossantly is not
the man who sells the largest quantity Of
goods, nor is the longest advertisement
the one that is most frequently read. But
II 1t becomes necessary To go into detail
about an article do not equivocate con
cernipg it.

There is another style Of advertising

establishments. No lie is told. but the

The very deplorable accident Of the
Fourth should cause . cessation of
the at,all. times dangerous practise oil
racing horses on the streets Of the
town. Here, especially, where the
county roads are 50 fine, there is 10
valid excuse for the practise.
TO be sure, people should keep out
of the way. But inasmuch as they
will not. and cannot be male to, it is
the duty OF the community, and Of
every father, mother, aud child in it,
to oppose racing on the streets, and
thus at least remove one great cause
Of danger to life and limb.

severe Ole. 1t should not be for.
