The successful man is neraly al.
ways a great help to the community
in which his lot is cast. The more
money he makes, if he uses it, the
better for the town; the larger
business he builds up, the greater
the advantage to the community,
Without such men town cannot
grow, and as a growing town is a
benefit to the surrounding country
it is to the advantage of all to en-
courage these live and successful
workers in all walks of life, frown-
ing on the efforts Of the petty and
envious who are ever ready to stab
them in the back. The country
cannot get along without its sue
cessful men, says an exchange, but
it can survive the loss of envious
backbiters-s fact that every town
should appreciate whenever oppor-
tInity offers. The successful man
is indispensable.

Why are the Buttons There7

You have often noticed that your
coat sleeves are provided with two
or more useless buttons; also that
there are two of the same kind of
ornaments on the back, near the
waist. Those on the sleeves have
puzzled the antiquarians for years,
but the two on the back are still
greater enigmas. The story is told
of much learned missionary who
was once laboring to convert an OBJ
durate Chinaman. He had pumped
learned quotations and high sound
ing arguments into the Celestial for
some time, when the minion of the
Flowery Kingdom completely non
plussed him by retorting:
"You are profound scholar; you
know everything-tell me, then
why you wear those two surperhu.
Gus buttons on the back Of your
coat?"
Whether the inquisitive China.
man got satisfactory answer to his
query or not will probably never be
known; but one thing is certain
it set Investigators to work, and il
has since been ascertained that the
two buttons are the survival of q
semi-barbaric custom; that they
were originally sewed on to help
hold up belt, at time when every
gentleman wore u sword or some
other weapon of defense at his side

A Contrast.

An amusing story is told of old
DR.. Emmons, clergyman who
was equally famed for the extreme
neatness of his person and for his
carelessness in regard to his "es-
tablishment."
He started one day to Exchange"
with a brother whose reputation
was, so to speak, the compliment
of his own. The two divines met
on the road, about half way, and
stopped to indulge in a fraternal
chat. DR.. Emmons' horse looked
as if he had never known the touch
of a curry-comb, the dust Of by
gone days whitened his old chaise,
and several seedy haystalks dangled
conspiciously from the top and
sides.
The old minister himself, how
ever faultlessly neat from head to
foot, was shining figure in the
dingy equipage.
Not a single hair lay "agee" in
the glistening coat of the other
minister's steed, and the sunlight
glistened on the polished cover and
wheels of his chaise, but his own
person and dress had been neglect
ed. In the language of to-day he
would be described as "seedy."
Unaware Of this fact, he gazed
at DR.. Emmons' turnout with in
creasing disapproval. As he was
about to drive on be fired his part
ing shot at his friend:
brother Emmons, | should
think you would be ashamed OF
your horse"
"And l, dear BROTHER" was the
quick response of DR.. Emmons,
''should almost think your horse
would he ashamed of you!"
After which interchange of shots
the two old friends parted in per-
feet good humor.-Youth's Com
panion.
