A MODERN INSTANCE
OF WHAT BUSINESS ENERGY AND
ENTERPRISE WILL AC-
COMPLISH
When Joined to Sterling Integrity and
Sound Business Methods.

One of the most notable instances of mod
ern commercial success is that presented by
the well-known and popular firm of
Guskv's The foundation for it was laid over
4 quarter of a century ago, back in the
stormy and historic times of 1868. AL
though the concern was at that time small
one. occupying not more than a fiftieth
portion of their present space, yet founda-
ton was laid strong enough on which to
rear business many times larger than the
ricautic commercial enterprise which to-
dav stands as a monument to its original
founder and speaks volumes for its manage
ment past and present
The foundation was laid bv man who,
strictly honest in his own character, be-
ieved in sound, honest business principles
believed that these strictly adhered to could
not fail to bring success; that the confidence
and good viii of the people at large was
worth more than temporary success secured
through brilliant but questionable methods.
NOT AN ACCIDENT
As Napoleon cree remarked to one of his
generals, success is never blundered into. d"
And what is true in the military sphere is
lust as true of commercial enterprises. As
a rule the successful deserve success. Merit
is bound to win. True merit never vet
went around complaining that the world
owed it living, it simply presents its bill
and collects at sight

IN THE LEAD.

So far as the clothing and furnishing
trade are concerned they are decidedly in
the lead in this State, and when compared
with the foremost houses in the entire
country are found to stand in the very
front rank of commercial life and enter
prise. The present is an age of tinsel and
show, but the firms who still insist on sell
ing honest goods at popular prices are
bound to be appreciated and patronized by
the people. This has been strictly adhered
10 by Gusky's in all the years of their bust
ness life, the result beng an abundant and
increasing harvest OF patronage.

Numbered with other problems re-

why the little manakin so enjoyed by
girls is called a "dolin instead of. as
the French do, a ''puppet," or, with
the Italians, a "bambino" or baby.

minds of little women on this subject

says:-To explain, it is necessary to
go back to the Middle Ages, when it
was the fashion all over the Christian
world for mothers to give their little
children the name Of a patron saint.
Some saints were more popular than
others, and st. Dorothea was at one
period more popular than all. Doro-
thea, or Dorothy. as the English have
it, means a gift from Cod But
Dorothea or Dorothy is much TOO long
a name for a little toddling baby. and
SO it was shortened to Dolly and Doll,

name it was an easy step to give the
name to the little images of which the
babies were so fond.

ReaohIne Cor one High Notes.


If nature has endowed a singer
with the power of producing high
notes they will be sung spontaneously
Signor Campanini declares in The
Ladies Home Journal for February.
Otherwise they will neither be agree
able in quality or tone. All singers
are not alike. Their voices are pitch
ed in different registers. Some are
pitched high, others low, and a great
many medium. If a singer, not nat
urally endowed with a high register,
attempts to sing beyond his or her ca
pacity by forcing the voice. he or she
is in danger of injuring the voice.
Any n possessed of a good voice
may by study and culture, produce
higher notes than they otherwise
could hope to do, but no professor of
music, no matter how eminent, ever
created a voice where it did not pre-
viously exist. Great singers are 2ern,
not made. Many singers have tenn
porarily strained their voices by try
ing to do too much. If the voice is
naturally high, no matter what the
pitch may be, the singing will be
pleasant and agreeable TO the ear. If,
however, a singer tries to do toe
much, the effect will be similar to a
man who endeavors to walk up two
steps at a time when he is only able
to make one. 1t will prove ruinous.
Do not strain your voice, or you may
lose it.

THE Ladies' Home Journal"
Music loving girls, and those with
vocal aspirations, will find a rich treat
in The Ladies' Home Journal for Feb
ruary. in which Emma @. Thursby,
Campanini, Madame Aibani, Clara
Louise Kellogg, Maud Powell and Al
bert Parsons have crisp and practical
articles on voice traing, piano playing
and music and vocalics generally.
There is many a help aud hint in the
words Of these great artists, who make
room further on in the number for
Sister Rose Gertrude's first printed
article on my Work Among the Lep-
ers.r in which the young heroine of
the leper settlement of Molokai tells
the true reasons why she ~renouneed
her work among the stricken lepers.
Edward Bellamy follows his original
nationalistic ideas in an article on
woman in the Year 2O00, which
will certainly be entertaining to thou
sands Of women, since the picture is a
bright and sparkling one. George w.
Cable. the Creole novelist, begins a
series of papers on How to Teach
the Bible;p Mrs. A. ID. Il. Whitney's
new novel, "a Golden Gossip pro-
crosses delightfully."-; Mrs. p. Il. Bar
num-, with portrait, is sketched by a
skillful hand; Josiah Aliens Wife,
and Rose Terry Cooke each has a
story. DR.. Talmage is especially good
in his department, as are also Mrs.
Margaret Bottome in her Kings
Daughters page, and Mrs. Mallon in
her graceful fashion pages. The num-
Der is, in short, a splendid n from a
helpful as well as an entertaining
standpoint. There is, withal, no bet
ter magazine published for women.

The Potters and the Republican
Party. s

IA OtACIE 0A0 int AsCDAoAA(Nn
Party.
The Trenton pottery monopolists
who have taken advantage of the
Mckinley bill to grind their men,
have caused such panic among radi-
cal Republicans that they are being
jumped on almost as badly as Don
Cameron. Here is a specimen of the
lectures they are receiving from the
State Gazette and other Republican
organs:-
II the sanitary ware manufacturers have any
sound reasons to present for reducing the pay
of their employees. they ought to make them
known and put them upon the record stolid
silence win be con as evidence that they
have no reasons except a greedy desire for
larger profits. And this will be a formidable
weapon In the hands of the Democratic party
whenever It shall come into full control Of the
national government. wherewith to strike down
the whole pottery interest Of the country. I'm
less they give satisfactory reasons, or re cede
from their position. time win demonstrate that
this was the most disastrous move ever made by
any branch of the pottery industry Of this
country.
When the debates on the Mckinley
bill were in progress in the Senate, the
Ease of the Trenton potters was made
a prominent feature. 1t will be re-
membered that Senator Mcpherson
led the fight against the bin, and a
favorite way of worrying him was to
ring the changes on the Trenton pot
teries. One after another the high
tariff Senators stood up and asked
Mr.. MCPHERSON whether he was pre-
pared to abandon this industry,
whether he did not think the poor
manufacturers needed protection, and
whether he did not think that a big
duty on stoneware would boom the
wages of Trenton workingmen in a
way never heard of before.
The Senator frankly replied that he
did not think the potteries needed a
prohibitive tariff to enable them to
make money, and that he was very
certain the working men would never
reap a cent of benefit from the Nc
hAhic5 Jill
1t is because the potters were thus
made figure so prominently, that the
Republican press feels SO bitterly the
continuation OF Senator McPherson's
prophecies. Just as he said, the Nc
Kinley bill has become an instrument
atty to restrict production, boom
prices, and cut down wages. OF
course, what is true in this trade is
equally true in Others, but the greedy
haste of the bosses has pressed the
truth upon the public attention at
the most inconvenient time for the
Republican managers.
The State Gazette prophesies disas-
ter from this move of the potters; but
why blame them? The bill was passed
to enable them to do this thing, why
should they not do it? Blame the
corrupt and unpatriotic party which
devised the law and placed the power
in the hands of unscrupulous monopo-
lists.
