HOW TO COMMAND SUCCESS.

The self-con6dent young fellow who
boasts that he "could marry any girl
he pleased" would probably have
found a satisfactory reason tor his fall
ure to get the one he wanted IN the
the fact that he did not please her
enough. The idea that man can ac-
complish any reasonable thing which
he may set out to do was doubtless
the basis Of this utteranee Of youthful
vanity and conceit, which any Ameri-
eau girl would meet with indignation
and contempt The fact remains how
ev ,r, that most, things OF human &C.
c omplishment are matters OF strong
will and determination. In this Tree
land even Glow birth and iron fortune
are not insurmountable barriers to the
Attainment Of any object, whether it be
loves fivor, REORGANIZATION OF wealth
or distinction in politics, in literature
trart. Perseverance in the pursuit OF
any Legitimate purpose, if rightly di-
rected, will command success. This
fact has never been better eIemplitied
than in the experience OF advertisers
Persistent seeking of public support

TRICK OF STREET ARABS.

Stage to Fool the Passing
Sports.

On recent Saturday afternoon when
State street was crowded with prom
enaders two gamins reaped silver har-
vest from the '*cheap sports,'' as they
termed the victims of their ruse, says
the Chicago Tribune.
From the low comedians at the yau-
deville show they had learned the knack
of striking and receiving the stage
blow. AS the initiated are aware, the
report is produced by clapping the
hands, and the hand of the victim has
tily applied to the eye gives the appear
ance of the "black eye" thrust
AS soon as the boys spied some we'll,
dressed and 'pompous saturday after
noon sports" approaching they fell to
and belabored each other in the genu-
inevaudeville stage manner. Blow after.
blow resounded, and each in turn
WINGED with simulated pain. The men
rushed up and separated the young
sters, who burst into laughter and ex-
posed their trick. Then they demanded
a contribution from the "sold,"
generally they received it. When the
victims had passed on and peace reigned
again the urehinslaid in wait for anoth-

FIRST FLOWER MISSION
The Sweet Charity Was Instituted In
BontOn Thirty Years Ago by
Helen Tinkham

To the inspiration of Miss Helen W.
Tinkham, of Boston, the missions for
the distribution of flowers among the
poor, the sick and the aged in cur cit
les owe their origin. Thirty years ago
the first flower mission was formed.
with Miss Tinkham at it's head, and
she has ever since been identified with
the work, says Ladies' Home Journal.
In the spring of 1869 Miss Tinkham
spent few days in the country, re-
joicing in the flowers that burst into
fragrant bloom under the magical
breath OF April. Upon returning to
Boston she observed with what visit
full eyes the children playing about the
railroad station viewed the flowers she
brought with her, and how eagerly they
accepted those she offered them. This
incident led her to urge the church.
going people to cooperate in collect
ing and distributing flowers. A meet
ing was held and the work soon start
ed. Boston is, therefore, the birthplace
OF the flower missions, form of chari-
ty which has extended to every section
OF this country, and crossed the Allan
tic. =;
