After Providence had electric lights 1t

Metropolitan. The races which COM
mence tomorrow are bound to grow In
favor. ] wonder II the majority OF the
people know that Burke and Salmon and
Caldwell are the best in their
respective lines that money can obtain?
By the way the two for mer gentlemen are
old newspaper writers and they can tell
a thoroughbred at a glance. They can
talk horse, and write horse, and their
Judgment has a commercial value, inas-
much as the reputation they have estsb-
lished for integrity and up and up dealing
in their respective capacities means great
deal to the public who enjoy the sport.
Do you believe in luck?
Some people do and some people do not.
The best antidote for bad luck that know
is frugality and industry. Luck-I don't
take much stock in what you call luck.

man comes pretty near making his
own luck, as 1t is called. IL he does well
he makes money, and IL he keeps about

the bulls-eye the less money the man has.
The further away Lhe circle the more the

81 remember w. II. Herrick as long ago
as he was with q man named Baker," said
a friend Of mine to me referring to what
was said In this column last Saturday in
reference to that gentleman. So do /.
The other day while talking with Mr..
Herrick he got into q reminiscent mood.
"Well do l remember" he remarked,
"along in 1873 the first insurance policy
ever placed with me. 1t was for $500. 1
tell you l thought j was getting there
pretty rapid when that $500 deal had been
made" Pressing him for an answer to q
query abruptly put to him was surprised
to learn that since that $500 policy was
placed the insurance business which Mr..
Herrick controlled and had placed,
through the companies which he repre-
sented amounted to millions of dollars.
Cheer up young business man. What is
possible forone man to accomplish is possi-
BILE for another Mr.. Herrick was the last
man in the world to think that from
hat $500 policy such q magnificent
business as that which he now controls |
would be the result. Mr.. Herrick isn't |
much on plate glass and ground floor lay |
,uts, and is still doing little auctioneer-
ng now and then together with his ex-
ensive real estate and mortgage branches
# his business, but he is race horse on
howing results In the insurance OF large
nd small properties.
Dropped dead.
