NO EXCUSE ALLOWED.

A successful business man tells US
there are two things which he learned
when he was eighteen, which were
ever afterward of great use to him,
namely, ''Nevcr to lose anything and
never to forget anything." An old
lawyer sent him with an important
paper, with certain instructions what
to do with it.
"But," inquired the young man,
''suppose that should happen to lose
it, what shall do then?'
ssYou must not lose it, said the
lawyer, frowning.
'I don't mean to-" said the young
man; "but suppose I should happen
to?"
"But I say you must not happen to.
I shall make no provision for such an
occurrence; you must not lose it,"
This put a new train of thought
into the young mans mind, and he
found that if he was determined to do
a thing he could do it. He made such
a provision against every contingency
that he never lost anything. He
found this equally true about forget
ting. IF a certain matter Of impor-
lance was to be remembered he pinned
it down on his mind, fastened it there,
and made it stay.

Music caused the death of beauti
full three year old filly at Florence,
Ala, the other day. A farmer drove
his valuable young mare into town,
and as he was driving up the principal
street brass band suddenly struck
up its blatant music. The mare had
never heard any sound like that be-
fore, and so startled was she that she
dropped dead in the shafts of the
trap. A veterinary surgeon who ex-
amined the carcass declared that the
mare had died of heart failure, due to
excitement caused by the sound of
band.

1t is we'll known that Mark Twain
began life as a newspaper reporter
He is said to have told an interviewer
recently that he attributes his success
in literature not to the experience
which he gained in that capacity, but
to the fact that he failed to hold the
appointment. The statement is in re-
freshing contradiction with the nor
NAL view that newspaper work Is the
best training that a literary man can
have; but the fact is that this is one
of those matters on which no general
rule can safely be laid down. Given
sufficient education to start with,
there is no kind of training that the
man who has the literary gift will not
find useful when the hour comes to
turn it to account. He may serve his
apprenticeship proftably in the army,
the navy, the backwoods, in a mining
camp, in a university, or in sub
editorial room; in any case he will be
the wiser for what he has learned
there. The main essential is that his
apprenticeship should not be pro-
tracted long enough for his mind to
lose its elacticity and its receptivity.
But in the case of the man who is am
bilious of literary distinctions this
does not often happen.

LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. o4,5S7l
"DEAR FRIEND-Two years ago I had
child-bed fever and womb trouble in
its worse form. For eight months after
birth of babe I was not able to sit up.
Doctors treated me, but with no help.
L had bearing-down pains, burning in
stomach, kidney and bladder trouble
and my back was so stiff and sore, the
right ovary was badly affected and
everything I ate distressed me, and
there was bad discharge.
I was confined to my bed when I
wrote to you for advice and followed
your directions faithfully, taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, Liver Pills and using the Wash,
and am now able to do the most of my
housework I believe I should have
died if it had not been for your Com
pound. hope this letter may be the
result of beneftting some other suffer
ing woman. / recommend your Com
pound to every one. "-MRs. MARY

of any kind received advice that made
them strong, useful women again.

FAIR PLAY.

Let us have a system in which every
man will have just what he earns, and
nothing more, a fair play Golden Rule
system, and twenty five years of that
sort of a system would relegate all
our prisons, jails and almshouses to
the domain of hideous past. Social
systems, like individuals, may be
known by their fruits. Men do not
gather grapes from thorns, nor figs
from thistles. Our millions of pau
pers, tramps and criminals are not
the result of chance or accident, they
are the legitimate fruit of our I'M
christian social system. AS long as
the system continues, we may expect
the fruit. There are thousands of
babies who are at this very moment
growing up in the midst of surround
ings that make it a moral certainty
that their lives will be given to vice
and crime-they never have even one
chance to choose whether they will do
right or wrong. Iprotest against this
heartless slaughter of the innocents
for the sake of private gain. Let US
make our protest never ending and
plead with our fellowmen to give the
babies a chance-Mayor s. N. Jones.

THE HO USEWIFE'SD YBURDEN.

1t is a common remark with hum
dreds of men that they wonder 'what
women find to do all day." Sometimes
curiosity gets the better of a man and
he asks his wife what she has done all
day. ooh, hundred and one little
things,'' she says. Then he thinks Of
some momentous scheme over which
he has been working all day, and
makes mental comparison, in which
his wife's work takes second place.
He overlooks the fact, however, that
a woman's life in the home is made
up of ''little things" not only neces-
sary, but that they are absolutely
vital to the even adjustment of the
domestic machinery Of his home.
They are ''little'' only in a woman's
eye; they would instantly assume
proportions Of magnitude if the mans
hands were to try to do them.-Lodies'

The United States Consul General

The United States Consul General
| to Berlin has written an interesting
official report of a contemplated
| change in the consular system of Ger
many which indicates how wide awake
the Germans are becoming in trade
getting. The report says of the pro-
posed method of consular appoint
ments: "Young men carefully Sc
lected and specially educated for
service in a designated field will go
out and pass from clerks through the
successive grades to consul general
in that one district, and as the final
reward of competent, faithful service,
will be recalled for duty in the foreign
Office, which will in time become
bureau of experts, whose aggregate
knowledge will cover the whole
realm of German export trade. AS
has already happened in law, medi-
cine, engineering in nearly every
field of applied science the day of
the all-around man, with a smattering
of many things but a thorough knowl-
edge of nothing, is definitely past and
the success of the future will be won
by nations as well as by individuals
who can bring the highest attainments,
the largest experience and the most
consummate proficiency to bear
where competition is keenest and the
richest prizes are to bewon."
