FAILURE IN BUSINESS.
Little Habits Gnaw Big Holes.


A large number of men are unsuc-
cessful in their business because of
some small habit or habits that rob
them of the vitality necessary to push
a business as it should be.
The man who is thoroughly well, and
can plan with clear brain and work
out his plans with a healthy body. is
the one who will be in the procession
when his neighbor has to drop out
Some men can stand hurtful habits
better than others, but wien one finds
out that he is ailing a little each lay,
let him remedy the trouble and have
the machine work right, for that is
the sure road to riches and happiness.

Besides providing for a rectification
Of the frontier in accordance with the
plans of the European military at
taches, and for an indemnity of a.

commission of delegates of the Powers
and of Turkey shall fix the compensa-

charge of the indemnity.
AS soon as the treaty is signed, says

remembered was Endorsed by that
convention. Mr.. Reed did not COM
NIT himself, but he left his callers
under the impression that he did
not think the country was espe-
cially hankering after a Currency
Commission, and that Congress
did not as rule act upon such
questions until the sentiment of
the country had Enthusiastically
made itself known. He told them
that the tariff was the first and
principal work set out by this Con-
gress, and they left Washington
without much hope for their bill,

If President Mckinley lives up to
his announced intention not to APP

Harrison and who are now appIi-

strong pull are still in the field and
some of them will doubtless get
appointed rule or no rule. No
| President has ever been able to
live up to an ironclad rule in the
matter Of appointments, and it is
not at all probable that a man who
is as anxious for the good will of
Senators and Representatives as
President Mckinley has shown
| himself to be, will do SO, but the
rule will be used to shut out
great many of them.
