How to Get Rich.

Among the rich men of Chicago is F.
W.. Peck. His advice to young men
who desire to get rich in money is as
follows:-
There are no rules which can be laid
down which will lead to the desired end.
but there are certain elements which are
essential and without which the attain.
ment of wealth is impossible. Prominent
among these may be mentioned industry,
thrift, persistence, and courage, and
above all, proper habits in life, combined
with system. But it should alw v be
borne in mind by young men that per.
sistent application is absolutely necessary
to success. Few things are impraoti.
cable in themselves. and it is for want OF
application rather han means that men
fail of success, as has beer said by q
French writer. Too many young men
are discouraged because of the obstacles
they find early in life. They cannot
pursue a path of roses, but must not be
discouraged by the thorns that inevitably
appear. 1t has been wei. said, "A certAlu
amount of opposition is a great help to q
man. Kites rise against the wind.
Even a head wind Is better than none.
No man ever worked his passage in a
dead calm. The Importance of the
courage referred to above is expressed by
Shakespeare in the following words
"'Our doubts are traitors,
And make us lose the good we oft might
win
BY fearing to attempt
81 think if the young man of to-day
would cut out the above quotations and
impress them on his mind, they would
prove valuable through life"

Have Pretty Hands, Though a Hard Worker.
Would you have soft, white, fine,
firm hands, though you have fires to
make, dishes to wash and rooms to
sweep? Then follow these rules:
First, buy a pair of rubber gloves
to wear while washing dishes.
Second, wear loose, thick gloves,
with wadded palms, while handling a
broom or doing anything else which
produces callouses.
Third, keep half a lemon in a tray
over the kitchen sinkj with this rub
Off the stains made by pairing vege-
tables and the like as soon as they
appear.
Fourth, never plunge the hands into
very hot water. Use a. mop to wash
dishes, as far as possible.
Fifth, do not wash the hands oftener
than necessary. Dry them thoroughly
after every washing. Clean them with
oatmeal instead of soap.
Sixth, wash them at night in mod
erately warm water, with oatmeal;
dry gently, and while they are still a
little moist rub them thoroughly with
a little cold cream. Put on loose, fin
gerless white kid gloves and wear
them all night.

TO cure Catarrn

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants
or other local applications. Catarrh is a
constitutional disease, and can be sue
cessfully treated only by means of a
constitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, which thoroughly purifies the
blood and removes the scrofulous taints
which cause catarrh. The great number
of testimonials from those who have been
cured of catarrh by Hoods Sarsaparilla
prove the unequalled power of this
medicine to conquer this disease. II

Summers self is dead.
Natures face is sombre, dreary,
Autumn hours are dark and weary,
And we miss the lightness

Of past joys and mirth;
For the futures misty screen
Hides the coming days unseen,
And we know not what alarms
Winter bears In icy arms.

But not every joy is b~anished,
With the hours of summer vanished.
Autumn has its beauties,
Winter brings sweet duties.

Friends we love, the good and true,

And with aching hearts we weep
For the joys we cannot keep.

Scattered like autumn leaves.

Every cloud has silver lining.

All our joys and pleasures.

but life. You will Ply your debt when

At ten O'Clock the guests began to
come. There we're Spaniards from Oran,
Maltese from Bona and thssTunis frontier,
French peasants from the n%eighboring
farms, an E%nglishman or two, and a
com mercial traveller from Lyons.
Brother Angelo scarcely noticed them.
He did what Brother Ambrose babe him
do; he found seats at the tables for the
peasants and their families; he handed
about the fish, the bread, the lentils, and
the cheese; he comforted a crying child,
he served the wine, and all the while he
was saying to himself: my father was
Count Apremont, and my mother was
Miriam, the dancing girl of Biskra."
Just before twelve O'Clock, when all
the que SITS except an Englishman and the
commercial traveller had departed, a
carriage stopped at the gate, and q mo
ment after the door opened, and a woman
followed by a courier belonging to one of
the hotels at Algiers, entered the room.
She turned, startled by the cherries ap-
pearauce of the place, and was about to
go out, when her eyes meet those of
Brother Angelo, then she walked slowly
to the head of the table and took her seat.
The courier sat at the foot. Brother
Ambrose served her, and she made a pre-
tense of eating. She cast occasional
glances at the young monk, and he never
took his eyes away from her. He stood
staring at what he bad never seeu before,
q beautiful woman.
She was very dark. Her hair was blue
black, twisted into a heavy knot at the
back Of her head, and over her ears two
sharply pointed looks curved up like
sickles On her temples. She wore a little
black hat. such as Spanish bull fighters
wear, tilted down upon her brows. Her
nose was straight and thin, pinched In
just above the n~ostrils, which quivered
with each breath. Her lips were full aud
| red, and her white teeth we're small and
| shaped like orange seeds. Her hands
were those of the old races, with l ong
pointed fingers and rosy nails. She wore
a dozen rings, aud all were set with
emeralds. Once she looked about the
room, and saw the Englishman and the
commercial trageller; afterward she did
not notice them.
When she could no longer make q pre-
tence of eating she turned tt Brother
| Ambrose and said:

"Why not ?" replied Brother Ambrose,

Left alone, the Abbot sat unoonsciously
playing with the keys at bis waist; then
Using, he extinguished the single candle
upon his desk, and opening his door,
stepped out upon the grass walk.
The garden was bathed in moonlight.
On the long lines of almond trees the
white blossoms shone like silver stars.
High on the chapel roof the great iron
cross was silhoutted against the sky, and
the Abbot could see at the intersection of
the arms, the stsrling's nest. He walked
slowly OF past the geraniums, their scar
let flowers black in the moonlight, and
then he came to the roses. All about him
were the bending stems, the delicate
fresh leaves, and the great white flowers.
He ctrcled with his arms a dozen of the
stalks. brought them close together, and
buried his face 10 the mass Of blossoms .
He breathed in the fragrance with long
gasps; and then, after u moment, he
went on down the grass walk. At the
cOrner of the wall was a stone bench
upon which the leaves of the vines cast
delicate shadows. Here he took his seat.
Behind him, trellised on the wall, was a
mass of honey suckle and jasmine, the
perfume of which saturated the warm
air. From the dove cote came the soft
cooling of the pigeons, and in the far Oh
fields he heard the lowing of the cattle;
for even the birds and the beast felt the
influence of spring, and could not sleep.

ESTABLISHED IN 1924 BY SAMUEL B0wLRs

The public commentator and support of
The REPUBLICAN were never more general
and cordial than they have been in the past
year. They inspire its conductors to endeav-
or constantly to make it better.
The cheapening of some of the elements in
the cost of newspaper production together
with generous public patronage have en-
| abled The REPUBLICAN to enlarge its outlay
for brains. Its total expenditures steadily
increase, and its readers are now receiving
| richer return for their money than ever.
The REPUBLICAN is in no sense q class
| newspaper. 1t appeals to all sections of the
community, excepting alone the low and
vicious. 1t is keenly alive to the new prob
| lens which attend the progress of civiliza-
| ton. 1t recognizes the immense value Of
corporate combinations of capital in improv-
| ing social conditions. But it also appreciates
that the greatest danger to individual Free
dom and democratic government lies in the
unrestricted operations of aggravated wealth.
1t conceives one of its chief missions as a pub
lie newspaper to be the advocacy of the rights
of the plain people.
THE REPUBLICAN reports the news of West
ern new England, especially western Massa-
chusetts with the utmost thoroughness. Its
general news service is of the best 1t de-
votes liberal attention to literature and the
arts, to social, industrial and scientific ques.

each week numerous magazine features OF
great interest and value.
The WEEKLY REPUBLICAN presents a care
fully edited and arranged review of the news
and the choicest editorial, literary and other
features of the DAILY and Sunday. 1t is in
