Business Novice Down.
Walter L. Phillips, the founder of the
national newspaper corporation known
as the United Press, and the inventor
of Phillips Geographic code, typical,
energetic American, who has put many
young men in the news gathering bust
ness, believes that the cause of failure
everywhere among young business be-
ginners lies in Incompetence.
Nine-tenths of the young men who
hre struggling for n name and place in
the world are untitled for the callings
they have picked out for themselves. Be
sides an unlimited supply of energy
hnd whole heartedness In the work be-
fore him, the successful man of the
future must know his business from
A TO Y.
The next great drawback to success
Is idleness. Nothing worth while is
accomplished without work, and plenty
Of 1t. Things do not happen without
a cause, and behind every great life
there are years of concentrated energy
and tirelcss industry. Idleness will
make any man failure; intelligent
work will land any man among the
successful. 1t is all so simple and SO
trite that one hesltates to put the fact
down In cold blood. and yet how few
,'men recognize. or, recognizing, live up
to the axiom that labor conquers all
things.
Idleness and the consciousness of In
competency should make any man
ASHAMED of himself and drive him to
do something that Is worth the doing.
1t is within the grasp of every one to
learn some one thing that will yield
both pleasure and profit Success
comes only to those who seek II.
The young man who Is really In
earnest will not have to be advised
how to succeed. He may learn much
by studying the failures of others. how
ever. and he will always find, after a
survey of the great legion Of the un-
successful, that two causes have
brought them to their present misery

A Persian Romance.

A Persian plaque in the South Ken
Eington museum, London, bears by
means of clever relief and brilliant col
or q romantic tale, part legend and
part history. Nobody knows the pro-
portion of each.
AT all events, 1t is declared to be an
incident In the life of Baharam V of
the Sassanian dynasty. Baharam, ac-
cording TO legend and plaque, was a
wonderful archer. During one of his
hunting expeditions, on which his ia
yorite wife had accompanied him, he
shot sleeping antelope with such pre-
eision rs TO Craze the animals ear.
The antelope awoke and, believing
himself annoyed by fly. put his hind
hoof to his ear to strike off the fly. A
second arrow sent by the royal hand
fixed the antelope's hoof to his horn.
The kings wife merely said, "Prac-
tice makes perfect" which touched the
pride of her royal spouse.
Indeed, as the penalty for her plain
speaking. she was sent out into the
mountains to perish, but instead found
shelter in Il village. Here she lodged
