vpoRrANCE OF DRESSING WELL.

r., following story contains an
l,r+,nt Iessonf for the boy in search
- employment:
o., stability dressed young man
.-i,It to the manager of u big de
aI rr+,rent store for employment.
Pc. What can you do?' asked the
...IIost anything answered the
applicant.
49,. Can YOU dust?'
Yes. indeed
...Trrn why don't you begin on
hat:' The fellow hadn't
thought Of that.
..Can YOU clean leather goOds?'
..Dh. yes
...Thcn it's carelessnest on your
.,r- that your shoes 7 not clean
The fellow hadn't thought of that,
either.
..WcII can you scrub?'
Yes. indeed, was the reply.
Then I can give you something
nIo. Go out and try your strength
N that collar you have on. But
don't come back"
While Il neat attire is not always
.r index to good character and abil-
nv the fact remains that of two APP
crir5nt, the business man Will al
rsvs employ the we'll dressed attrac-
rive looking boy rather than the one
who j. careless in his appearance.
The reason is obvious. The boy
who j particular in regard to the
details Of his dress will be careful in
his work and thus command the re-
sheet and confidence of his employer.
To be well-dressed is not to have
avrendcd Il great deal of money on
rorr c'OtheS; on the contrary if
your garments are neat in appear
snce and whole, if your collar is
lean and necktie neatly fastened, if
YOUR shoes are polished and pants
carefully pressed, the care and
thought displayed in these small
matters will more truly reflect char
screr than the richness of the mate
rial Of your clothes.
Muddy shoes can reflect nothing !
N~parness and cleanliness was we'll as
a little style are important recon-
mendu+ion and are within the
reach Of every boy seeking work

DON'T BE MACHINE MEN

Men who tend machines all their
lives become themselves machines.
Their unused brain cells and facul-
ties become atrophied, shrink and
shrivel until the individual becomes
a mere manikin, only the semblance
of a man. The modern mania for
speciaIties may prove one of the
greatest curses of the race, through
its tendency to cripple the intellect
and dwarf manhOOd.-Success

80 East Tenth Street, Kansas City, Mo,
Mr.. F. A. Dixon, Editor Pythian Echo,
says in a recent letter to Or. Hartman /;
"SOme two years & I began using Pc
runa in my family as. a family doctor,
n I have been highly pleased with
the result. My wife has used it for
catarrh and experienced great relief,
My little girl has been sick s. number Of
times, and when we used your medicine
it proved a success. l have used it my.
self several times and consider it a very
valuable medicine. Speakingfrom per.
sonal observation, l consider it a good
investment to keep 1t in my home, and
believe every man who desires to re.
lieve suffering, and at the same time
save money, should Investigate the
real merits of your Peruna and other
medicines"
In a later letter he says "For about
four years 1 have used Peruna in my
home for myself, wife and two children,
and I have saved many doctor bills,
Many times a dose or two of Peruna
taken in time will stop asickness, which,
if permitted to go for a day, would re-
suit in serious trouble. For grip it is
splendid and can be used successfully
with very young children as we'll as old
people. I use it in my home as On all
around family doctor and when it has
been given a fair trial, it has proved an
excellent remedy"

We recall many an experience
which has come under our own OBJ
servation, where the good seed sown
by faithful teachers in the light
hearts of boys and girls, and which
seemed for long years sheer waste
of pains and faith, came at last to
visible harvest. Experience sooner
or later inevitably brings every one
face to face with the realities. After
the heart, through trials and failure,
hiss learned it's deep needs which
abide, the Sunday School teacher
who was faithful is remembered.

difference by the outer ear becomes

SCATTERING DEEDS OF KINDNESS,
selected

That's a Canadian dime. I can't
take that, said the postoHfce clerk.
The child looked at the rejected coin,
and then at her unstamped letter
perplexedly.
Here's a dime-I'n change with
you" said a young woman stand
ing by.
"Oh, thank you!" said the little
one gratefully, Il ran all the way to
get mammals mail in in time and it
would have been too late if 1 had had
to go back"
How thoughtful that was" [
said to myself. "How few people,
comparatively, would have bothered
to do that for a child and yet how
little it costs, and how much it often
means"
A little later in the day, it so
CHANGED that I met again the young
woman of whom 1 have spoken. It
was at a restaurant at the noon hour,
in a hurried, crowded throng.
"Dear me, isn't it warm - sighed
a flushed, nervous looking girl near
me, to her companion.
won't you take this FAM" said a
sweet voice. l looked, and 10, the
speaker was the angel of the stamp !
l was very much interested in the
young woman by this time, and en-
sconcing myself comfortably in my
corner took more time to my meal
than was necessary, in order to OBJ
serve her. 1 did not have long to
wait to see another proof of her
kindness and consideration.
This is the last order of Indian
pudding, said one of the walters to
a pale, poorly dressed girl, as she
set down a steaming plate before her
neighbor, the young woman whom I
was observing.
"Oh, dear !" murmured the girl,
disappointedly.
Wont you take this? 1 would
exactly as soon have something else
for dessert" Quick as a flash the
dish of pudding was transferred.
THAT young oma is worth her
weight in gold," 1 said to myself as
1 rose to go. Il wonder when 1 shall
ever see her again"
1t was months before [ did see her
again. This time it was at a recep-
ton. | wondered whether she would
be able to do any kindly act in such
a formal gathering, and observed
her closely. 1t was not ten mintes
before l saw her talking to a shy, I'M
attractive looking girl in a corner,
and introducing her to her friends.
Nor was this all I noted. AS l left l
heard her saying something to the
sOlOist of the afternoon, to which
the reply was "YOu tell me that
you have enjoyed my singing. l
want to tell you how much I have
appreciated your telling me sou
The sparkling eyes and animated
face attested the appreciation.
These three brief occasions were
all upon which L ever saw 1.-The
angel of the stamp" and yet how
fraught they were with acts Of
friendliness and consideration At
the end of such a life how manifold
must be the good deeds placed to the
account.

What we need most of all is to
know the laws of education so thor
oughly that we can use them in pro-
ducing original compositions, new
works of art, new inventions, and
new sciences. True education is
the art of discovery. Any system
of teaching that ignores this fact is
worse than worthless. Marcus L.
Quinn, in Success"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1900-10-30

Bryan told a friend of the writer
that the reason he did not use either
tobacco or liquor was because he be-
lieved that to fulfill life's highest
duties a man should always be at his
best. 1t is we'll known that indul-
gence in either of these habits re-
suits in the impairment of physical
and mental power. This principle
is becoming recognized in business
life and will do more towards sOlv-
ing the liquor question than tenn
perance societies. But few, if any,
of the great railroad and steamship
lines, as we'll as many business
houses, will employ men who drink.
The great Rock Island Railroad has
also decided to employ no one who
smokes cigarettes and has given no
tice to all cigarette smokers now in
its employ that they must quit one
or the other. 1t has reached the con-
clusiOn that this habit, as we'll as
that of drink, units the mind to
act at its best in critical moments.
Other roads will doubtless soon fol
low its example. Also there ire
many business houses which will not
employ young men who use cigar
cites. 1t is also we'll known that
cigarette smokers could not pass the
examination for volunteers in the
Spanish war.-Western Rural.

been filed. To show how how lucky we were, it is only necessary to say
that we purchased when the magazine was not nearly so good as now3
hence att cheaper price. Since then it has beer wonderfully improved,
it's subscription list increased, and with the November issue the price Will
be raised from soc. to 7C. per year.

THE CONSULTATIONS,
some OF the Stars That Are to be Seen
Sparkling in the Heavens.

Some of the Stars That Are to be Seen
Sparkling in the Heavens.
Look how the floor of Heaven is
thick inlaid with patines of bright
gold; and early on these quiet Octo-
Der nights the heavens above us
sparkle with some of the most in
terestlng Of the consultations. Be
tween the new moon, hanging low
IN the west, and the fiery heart of
the scorpion, shines the evening star
Jupiter, and near the ''milk diDDer''
In the Archer is Saturn, silvery and
bright, but with his double ring and
his seven moons, invisible to the
naked eye. Viewed through a tele-
scope this planet is one of the most
wonderful and glorious of the
heavenly bodies. Near the horizon
in the south is the bright star, FOmal-
haut, in the mouth of the Southern
Fish which receives the cascade flow
ing from the urn of the Waterman,
recognized by the Y in that constel-
IatlOn. just overhead is the Dolphin,
In which shines the diamond, called
Jobs coffin, so named, too far back
in the ages for any n to know by
whom or why. Just rising il the
northeast IRE the three flaming stars
in A~ndrOmeda, near the chair of Cas-
siOpeia the Swan, with it's stars in
shape of a o is flying with out
spread wings, southwest, right in
the milky way. Further west, spark
ling like diamonds, is the Northern
Crown, and Arcturus, with reddish
lustre, is just above the western hori-
ION. The big dipper is in full view,
the head of DracO, and just past the
meridian, overhead, is the lovely
triangle in the Tyre. This is the
Tyre with which Orpheus charmed
all nature. The Eagle is close to the
Dolphin, the great square of the
Flying Horse is nearly overhead,
and Perseus, the hero, is just rising.
