BRIGHT MEN IN NEED OF GUARDIANS
Lawyers Who Can DO Business For Every
body but Themselves.


"It is a curious fact that some men can
transact difficult business for others, yet
are bound to fail when they try to do
something for themselves, said "a lawyer
whose connection with important litiga-
ton has made his name familiar to news
paper readers.
Lawyers are good illustration. The
practice of law has so charged that now
adays lawyer, it would seem, must also
be good business man. When a. lawyer
steps into "a case in which large interests
are involved, no Immediately takes charge
Of everything. Not move. of any kind Is
made without his approval, and often he
originates. 1t Is often hard to say whether
his advice is pertaining wholly to law
points or to matters strictly Of business.
The two are inseparable. Many of the big
corporation deals that have been put
through In Chicago have been, 1t might be
said, conducted by the lawyers called in
to advise. One would think with this
kind of training that lawyers would GER
tainly develop into skilled business men
and financiers. AS matter of fact some
lawyers and bright men, too, need guard
ians when they attempt TO do business
for themselves. i have known able men
to sign personal contracts and accept terms
that they wouldn't permit their clients TO
touch, / have known them to be bunkoed
In schemes that they would certainly sec

am no exception. 1 have made a real es-
tate deal for which, my youngest clerk
could probably have foreseen, 1 was bound
TO possess my soul In regret. i would
have been ashamed had allowed a client
to do 1t. ."--ChicaGo Tribune

TAMPERlNe WITH MAILBAG LOCKS.
A Telltale Mechanism Which Makes Sue
cessful Thefts Almost Impossible.

A Telltale Mechanism Which Makes Sue
cessful Thefts Almost Impossible.
The locks on the mail pouches are so
constructed that it is impossible to open
one without its betraying the secret. There
is little dial on the lock, and every time
the lock is opened the figures on the dial
move up one. Suppose, for instance that
the register shows /, 147 at the point of de-
parture, and that when the pouch is deliv-
cred at the point of destination the lock is
opened, the register will then show /, 14S.
This increase of one is made for each trip
of the pouch, and eventually the number
reached is 9, 900, which in an average bag
requires 33 years to reach. The bag is then
taken apart, and the numbers are reset.
These locks were first introduced in 1881,
and mail clerk made bold attempt to
rob bag in transit, soon after their intro
duction. He took small turning lathe in
the mail car with him to aid in the scheme.
After unlocking the bag he rifled the con-
tents and connected up the lathe to the
lock. His idea was to twist the numbers
around until they were the same as before
the lock was touched. He set the lathe
humming and soon reeled off the numbers
up to 8, 900, when to his CONSERVATION the
register remained at that figure and re-
fused to move any more. The lock must be
taken apart before it will start No.
again, but he did not know this. The
trick was, of course, discovered and the
guilty clerk punished. Since then the
locks have never been tampered with

CARE or A PIANO.
How the Instrument May BE Kept In Good
order at Little Cost.


A musical instrument may be regarded
in the light Of an exotic, costly and requir.
ing constant and careful attention.
1t is also like q race horse. The better
its treatment the more 1t responds to the
hand, and even in the evening of Its old
age Is thing of beauty with past record
of great things accomplished
frequently, alas, though, costly and
beautiful piano grows worthless and tune
less because II is neglected. Like a race
horse, IL needs TO be kept covered after use
In frosty weather especially always close 1t
when not in use, and If possible Wrow a
cover over 1t. Keep in moderately warm
room not too near the source of heat and
let the temperature be even, not ccn1 one
day and hot the next, but warm ~ the
time, say 60 or 40 degrees the year around
Always place the piano against an inside
wall and little out from It.
Shun the itinerant tuner who comes un-
recommended and Of whom you have no
previous knowledge. As soon intrust your
own ills TO q quaok as your delicate high
strung instrument to an ignoramus who
had much better be shoeing horses or saw
ing wood than meddling with pianos.
Do not allow children to drum on It.
True, Professor Banghard may expend q
like amount Of strength upon its key
board--I doubt If 1t thoroughly enjoys
either treatment But IL the right keys
are struck 1t will not affect 1t nor you so
seriously as where children amuse them
selves and wreck the Christian tempers Of
all listeners but those of their fond NAM
mas by their distracting sounds.
Resolutely avoid littering the tops with
bric-a- -brac, for it unquestionably affects
the tone.
A well known maker recommends fire.

PRESERVED HIS AMsRlcANIsm.
he Was Determined TO DO as He Pleased,
aud He Did So.


When the conductor had looked at the
ticket and punched 1t, he stopped over ansl
stuck It in the hatband of the dignifed
fat man, at which the fat man became en-
ragged.
"How dare you take such liberties with
meP" he shouted. "Who told you to stick
that ticket in my hatS Don't you see that
I'm q man of Importance and very sensi-
tivep It's all very well TO be fresh with the
Jays, but you haven't any right to insult
me"
He took off his hat, removed the ticket
and continued: "You think because you re
q conductor on this road that you can get
- gay as you like, but I'll teach you that
you've got me to deal with, and I'm tay-
payer at that. You can't stick tickets in
my hatband even If we are strangers, and
you aren't aware of my social position"
He fumed for about an hour. Then the
train passed Albany, and the conductor
came around again He took the ticket
from the hand of the dignifled fat man,
punched it again and once more put 1t In
his hatband absentmindedly.
"See here" the fat man roared, didn't
tell you before not to stick that ticket
thereP That piece of gayness wouldn't
stand from my own father, and he's been
dead five years. I'll report you TO the boss
of the whole road, and If he doesn't help
me I'll gamble in the stock of the company
and hammer 1t down so that they'll beg
for mercy"
After they passed Utica the conductor
repeated the performance with the ticket
and the hatband. This was more than
the dignifed fat man could put up with.
He jumped to his feet, grabbed the conduct
or by the collar and said he'd be blamed
If he'd stand it any longer.
"That's all right, replied the conduct
or, "but it's q rule of the company.
You've either got TO keep 1t In your hat
band or in your mouth. There is no al
formative. If you prefer 1t, you can put
IL in your mouth, leaving the end in full
view, so that l can see it as pass by"
"Well " said the fat man stoutly-there
Is nothing strange in fat man speaking
stoutly, is there9-"well, then, prefer 60

American citizen, am determined to do
as blame pleasep' And he kept it in his

BY THE WAY
WHAT MATTERH

What matter though the dreary night
With darkness should obscure my wayS
Thine eyes, my love, with sweet fires light
My life with never ending day.
What matter though the way be longp
What though its path be fraught with
strife2
Thy loving cheer will make me strong
To do the irksome tolls Of life.
What matter though with wearied brain
watch the day die in the west2
Thy gentle touch dispels the pain
And soothes my aching brow to rest.
And so life's golden span appears
More golden as the days pass by.
For sweet my love, the gliding years
But add new luster to thine eye.
And when our setting suns last rays
All lurld make the autumn skies,
Oh, then will heavens love flames blaze
Forth from the love fires of thine eyes.

Final Report Shows Balance from

the Pompeiian exhibition during the last
State fair met yesterday at the office of
Secretary Kennedy, of the State Fair Asso-
citation, to make preparations for the at
traction next autumn Mr.. Rose, who was
stage manager for the Pain company last
season, was present. The executive COM
mittee made it's final report as to the work
last year. It was reported that every liza
bility paid and that there remains in
the bank to the credit of the association
S4S003 and the assets are swelled by $4,000
on account of the leases, buildings, ETC., on
the grounds. There was no need, therefore,
for calling upon the guarantors to make
up deficit. The report was approved and
the committee was instructed to secure
another list of guarantors, and then, when
secured, to call them together for organ
iZation. Mr.. Rose presented to the COM
mittee three spectacles which he thought
would be successful 1.-THE Siege of Vera
Cruz" 1.-THE Siege of Vicksburg'' or a
China-J Japanese spectacle bringing out the
features OF the prevailing Oriental war.
The committee was instructed to proceed
at once in negotiations with the firm for
the terms for one of these spectacles. The
firm viii be required next year to improve
the entertainment by way of variations IN
specialties, and to present a professional
ballet.
