HOW TO SUCCEED.

Most of our successful men began
life without dollar. They won
success by hard work and strict
honesty. You can do the same.
Here is dozen rules for getting
along in the world:
l. Be honest. Dishonesty sell
dom makes one rich, and when ii
does, its riches are as a curse.
There is no such thing as dishones-
ty success.
2. Work. The world is not 60
ing to pay for nothing. Ninety per
cent. OF what men call genius is
only talent for hard work.
.. Enter into that business or
trade you like best, and for which
nature seems to have fitted you,
provided it is honorable.
4. Be independent. Do not
lean on others to do your thinking
or to conquer difficulties.
5. Be conscientious in the dis
charge of every duty. Do your
work thoroughly. No one rises
who sights his work.
3. Don't try to begin on top.
Begin at the bottom and you will be
surer OF reaching the top, sometime.
Z. Trust to nothing bu. God and
hard work. Inscribe on your ban.
ner; "Luck is fool; pluck is a
hero"
8. Be punctual. Keep your ap.
pointment. Be there a minute be-
fore time if you have to miss a din
ner to do it.
g. Be polite. Every smile, ev-

There are more chances in the
larger cities, but likewise there are
more applicants for the chanc es.
Salaries may be higher in the cen.
tres, but so, too, is the cost OF liv-
ing. Things always equalize them>
selves. To four way of thinking, a
moderate business success in o
small community means more to a
man in point of living and absolute
satisfaction than a greater success
in a larger city.

He rang the doorbell as though
he wished to pull the house over

the door he rushed in, took the most

book and pencil and began question

and with such an air of authority,

a length Of time that we are get
t;no used to it-and almost feel
that we must accept the inevitable
and make the best Of it. Now
what IS the cause Of this ever pres
ent cry of hard times, and is there
no remedy? Some will answer
the demonstration of silver is the
cause. and if Congress would re-
store it to it's proper place the sun
Of prosperity would shine upon US
once more. Others will say that
unwise tariff legislation is the
cause and that if we had high
protective tariff-the higher the
better-.il,idstries would spring up
all over the land, and the cry OF
hard times would be heard no more.
Others again will assign other
causes, and suggest other reNed-

A red-hot (newspaper) fight is
going on between Carl Schnrz and
Senator Gallinger. Schurz was
imprudent enough to write Calm
ger an open letter impeaching his
party loyalty, and Gallinger replys,
tracing Schurz's career since his
coming to this country; shows that
he has never been in honest spirit
an American, and never has been
true to any party. He copies the
article in which Mr.. Blaine dissect-
ed the fraud and showed by careful
analysis that he was at least 90 per
cent base metal, and closes shiS
arraignment with these tire punctur-
ing words:
Mat is there in your record to
justify you in calling in question
any man 'sparty loyalty? You who,
in turn, have scorned about all the
political principles and pledges
made by the parties to whom you
have been temporarily attached?

of ours looks "morally small?' What
have you ever had to do with party
organizations except to betray them?
