business man. His experience and OBJ
servation showed that the successful man
of business is endowed with a well-bal-
anced mind, coupled with hope, ambition,
courage and confidence.
Unless the aspiring business man have
all of these success Is doubtful. He must
have courage to bravely face the ups and
downs of life and not lose heart when
difficulties are on all sides, He must
have confidence in his own ability to sur
mount all difficulties
Study the methods Of the successful
is piece Of advice on which too much
Ceeds is the wise man, and there are rea-
sons for it. Do as he does. The man who
fails does so either through his own in
competency or foolishness. Do not do as
he does. Pay no attention to the man
who founders in the pool of business and
thinks he knows it all. If he knew how
to succeed he would succeed.
The author lays particular stress upon
the statement that luck never creates
good reasons to uphold his S' state statement TSiE
The principal of these Is that success de-
pends on activity and foresight. Chances
of wealth exist at all times, and if a man
would succeed he must be ever on the
alert to take advantage of them. Then
he must have courage and hope.

The Successful Man of Business.
By Benjamin Wand.


these days Of keen commercial
competition 1t is necessary to sue
cess that a man have a full com
prehension of the word business"
In order to supply this information
Benjamin Wood has just issued a
book entitled 1.-The Successful Man Of
Business" that is a most valuable addi-
ton to literature of this class and a
most unique work in more ways than
one
The average writer who essays to point
out the way to business success fills his
book with mere descriptions of the rou-
tine of banking and commercial detail.
He tells how to keep books and how to
handle all sorts of financial papers, and
imparts little legal knowledge. And
then he stops, as also does the young
business man who attempts success on
the lines laid down.
Business success means something
more than economy and a knowledge of
figures.
.rWhat does it mean?" thousands of
young men are asking every day, and
BENJAMIN Wood in his book has answered
them.
The author has made a study of men
who have made a success of business. He
has gone into their inner lives and
sought out those qualities that have led
to supremacy. He has studied the MAN
and not the way the man kept his books
or paid his employees.
And this information is, laid before. the
Young business men of the country in
comprehensive and readable manner. Inc
little book is most interesting from be-
ginning to end, and every page contains
valuable information.
In his preface the author says: THE
compilation of this work was suggested
through reading the following remark of
Ulysses S. Grant: I would have priced
the reputation of shrewd business man
higher than that of a great soldier. -
This led to Mr.. Woods studies of the

The Stolen Baby.

The sympathies of the whole coun- try were aroused by the recent abdue- ton from New York city and the sub- sequent recovery of little Marion Clark. baby twenty months old. Many aspects of this case are worthy Of study. In earlier days it was a con- paratiyely easy act to steal child and carry it where it's identity was lost. while the bereayed parents were left without hope of its return. Such cases were so common that the accidental re- union of parents with their long-lost children became a familiar feature ip literature and on the stage. The prompt recovery of the Clark baby shows that, while the world is all the time growing larger, in another sense N is constantly decreasing in size. The growth of great modern cities, and tha free movement of people from place to place, would at first seem to make it much easier to carry out successfully a crime of this kind today than it was in the past. but modern inventions have more than offset these changed condI- tions of society. When this child was stolen, such glare of publicity was thrown upon the crime that no nook or corner of this great country could long afford the criminal a hiding place. The telegraph, the steam railroad, the per- fected police system, all lent their aid. but more valuable than all else were the services of photography and the newspapers. The daily journals so faithfully reproduced the baby's por- trait that young woman in a country postof1ce, as soon as she saw the strange child, said: "Why, that looks like Marion Clark" The modern daily press has many faults, but occasionally it performs service so important as somewhat to condone them.

ONE DRINK TO EACH.

Queer Little Inn in London Which At tracts Custom by Its Unusual Regula.
 tions-How Hypocrites Can Make a Success by Utilizing Novelty. Q

Jez. oee busy Bisnopgate, London, in sn-4-l and somewhat "slumny
 street, there stands a public house re- markable for the fact that in it one is allowed te have only one drink-and no smoke. The proprietor of this quaint hostelry, obviously worthy citizen, seeing that he himself invented
 so to speak, this original system of do- ing business, has been in tie oeeupa- ton of the house some twenty odd years. Thither go all sorts and eondi- tions of men, from the silk-hatted city man to the railway porter, warehouse man, or mere messenger. All have just their one drink, and go out. Nor is it possible to trick the proprietor by or~ dering, say, bottle. and calling it "one drink. No; his one drink means a certain measure of beer, wine, or spir- it's, and that a moderate one. On the wall of the one bar, wherein all and sundry are served alike, hang the printed rules of the establishment in a frame. They set forth how that the proprietor, deeming that he may con- duct his busiD Nss as he thinks best, and having st heart the cause of temper ance, begs to call attention, etc. Then follow in numbered order the several rules. Before a customer can have a second drink he must go away and stop away for at least thirty or forty minutes. One result of the strictly en- forced rule against smoking is that the atmosphere of the bar is wonder fully clear and fresh. Of course, no person is served should he appear to be ever so slightly under the influence Of alcohol. The result is perfect oraer and subdued quiet. The hours of closing, too, differ from those of other houses tn the trade. Eleven o'clock sharp sees the house shut on five nights of the week. On Saturdays the hour is 12 and on Sundays, 10. To this house the chief rabbi grants his special per- nit every Pentecost to sell Kosher rum to those of the Jewish community of the neighborhood. Of course. over and above the regular customers, many people are attracted to this inn out of pure curiosity. The sightseeing and noveity-hunting American finds it out in his rambles. Should the curiosity monger, however, try to coax the men, servers behind the bar into a breach of their stern laws he is eourteously re- fused. They are never caught mapping, try them ever so often. The list of carefully compiled rules concludes with an intimation that such customers as do not care to conform thereto are "re- spectfully requested to transfer their custom t, some other establishment. ,"

No c>u For Volunteers.

Though determined to increase Gen. eral Otis command, so as to provide him with 36,000 men, it is authorita- lively stated that no call for volun- teers will be issued, and renewed con- fidence is expressed in the ability of this force to Quell the insurrection. The strengthening of the administra- tion's confidence Is the result of a cablegram received from General Otis indicating that he has at last found the point through which the insurgents ship their supplies, and that proper steps have been taken in cooperating with the navy to cut off the filibuster- ing expeditions sent to the Island of Luzon by friends of the Filipinos in Hongkong.
 Under the order issued, increasing the companies of infantry to 12S men each, General Otis will be provided with force of 29,644 men. Tn order to increase his strength to 5000 men 1t has been determined to increase the strength of each company, troop and battery in the Philippines to 150 men. Colonel Thorlas Ward, assistant adju- tant general, in charge of recruiting. expects that the 5000 recruits called for will be enlisted and on their way to San Frar ,isco within ten days
 While the administration expresses the utmost confidence in the ability of General Otis, with the regulars, to cope with the situation, 1t is evident that the sentiment is growing that tho president should cali for volunteers in order to provide that officer with at least 65. 900 men to begin the campaign at the commencement of the rainy season.

She Knows Why Man Is Sometimes
 Irritable.
 l have never found woman battling her way in the world who has not grown more sympathetic with human suffering, more patient with the little trials of life, more lenient and forgiv- ing with the erring, and more appre- elatlve of home and family ties, says the Woman's Home Companion. Inde. pendence, self-reliance and the adop. tton of honorable business methods need not destroy the inherent gentle ness of woman's nature, uniting her for the exalted station of an affection ate wife and tender mother. And as the lessons of the practical realities of life must come sooner or later, must be learned by most women, if they be learned in early womanhood, the dream life displaced by the real life, no rude awakenings" to the world as 1t is await the woman. When &C., quainted with the trials and dl=ao- polntments that confront business and professional men the wife can more fully appreciate the wear upon the nervous system due to the constant grind of daily cares. Knowing the real work of life. she becomes a companion. indeed, fully appreeiating the joys of success and the disappointments of failure, sharing in both alike with her husband, and when thus appreciating the feeling of nervous exhaustion and irritableness she quietly passes over these manifestations, which to the in experienced woman often prove the be- ginning of arrangement, as between such and dejected husband there can be but little real companionship and sympathy
