Doubles of Celebrated Men.

A man came into club smoking
room the other day to whom bowed
cordially. He stared blankly at me
for second, and then looking at me
closely said pleasantly:
'This is the second time this has
happened to me.today. I think you
take me for Charles Skinner of the
Canadian Pacific"
II did, but l don't. Now that YOU
speak, | know you're not Mr.. Skin
ner."
After we had been duly introduced
he said, with evident earnestness:
II want to meet Skinner. want
you to take me over to his office if
you will. If he is taken for me as
often as I am for him, 1 don't know
which of us is doing the other the
most harm. My idea is that we ought
to compare notes every day"

The man who repeatedly promises to
pay debt and doesn't do it, need not
think he will inspire confidence in his

who impairs his credit, impairs his capital.
Character and confidence are the result of
faithful performance of promises and
upright conduct. Be careful You are
the architect of your fortune and make
your own standing in community. II
you don't respect yourself you need not
expect others to respect you. Pay your

THEIR TINE Is PAST.

Editor Mcintosh, of the Albany
Herald, hits the nail squarely on the
head in the following:
The true journalist should be as
jealous of the reputation of his pa
per as he is of his own and as ready
to defendit; and tie existence OF
this jealous care must be the price
of newspapers influence in the
community in waich it is published.
To have the confidence of it's readers
and have any weight attached to its
opinions newspaper must observe
the same rules Of veracity and integ-
risy that good, reliable business
man does.
And it must be consistent in it,
and be willing to tell the truth and
deal fairly with individuals as we'll
as with the public at large. A pa
per conducted on this Plan will. in
time, acquire an influence that will
be worth as much to it's enlarged
sphere as the reputation of an hon
est, truthful man can be worth to
him il his daily intercourse with
his fellow man.
Let the takir in journalism go.
He is disgrace to the profession
and an enemy to society, and should
be forced to seek another calling.

The business nan who fails TO advertise
in his town paper, practically says he
doesn't care whether the town has auy

paper, he would promise to advertise to

than to allow it to die for the want OF pat,

There are three colored youths
among the "plebs' at the West

Some men catch more fish than other
men do 1t is supposed that this is be-
cause they are more skiuiul. Those who
take careful note, however, observe that
the more successful fisherman devotes
more time to it. He begins earlier, sticks
more closely to it, and quits later. The
conclusion is that the man who catches
most fish, fishes most hours. 1t is precise.
ly the same way with advertisers. Some
are skillful, some are not. The most sue,
cessful advertiser is always the one who
does the most OF it, and keeps it up the
longest.
