A salient feature of the reign of the
new rich is the habit of estimating 3
mans success in life solely by the mon
ey he has acquired. There are gather
ings Of society in New York where If
the question were asked, about fellow
citizen, HAS he been successful? the
answer would be in the negative had
the person inquired about not accumu-
lated wealth. No matter whether he
had served his country as a soldier,
statesman or philanthropist, had led
the youth Of his generation as a college
president, had been an educator Of the
people in school or pulpit, had achieved
wide renown as jurist, had written
great book, had held multitudes en-
thralled by his poetry, had painted no.
BILE pictures, had advanced science or
surgery, had created leading news
paper or magazine! Nothing of all this
tells. He is not success" because he
has not piled up dollars to f1aunt in the
worlds face! Saturday Evening Post.

A Fishermnn's Trick.

zone day I was talking fish with a
number of friends" said an old fisher
man, land I made a bet that [ could
catch more perch than any other man
in the party in a given time. The
crowd picked out the most experienced
fisherman in the lot, and we set a day
to try our luck. The day before the
match 1 got large glass jar, filled 1t
with water and put some minnOWs in
it. Over the mouth of the jar put
piece of parchment in which l had
made some small holes. Then 1 went
to point just east Of the waterworks,
picked out a likely spot and sank the
jar in the river, first attaching a cork
float to it by which 1 could locate it
next day.
eve went out for the fishing match
the following afternoon, and 1 soon
found my float and anchored there.
The other man located a short distance
away, and we began. The perch were
just beginning to run, and in a little
while I had pulled in $50 perch, while
my opponent got only "A. Then he
gave up, and won my bet.
''I showed the boys the trick before
we left the fishing ground. You can
always in that way make good catch
of fish that will swallow minnows. The
sight of the bait in the jar always at
tracts a crowd of fish and seems to put
them in good biting humor."-Detroit
Free Press.
A Martyr.
That's the way" cried the forger as
sentence of ten years was imposed,
"all of us great writer's are compelled
to suffer for giving full freedom to our
art!'-Philadelphi North American.

Broken Brio. a 81 RAGS.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man Of
New York, explains some very interest
ing facts about Majors Cement.
The multitudes whe use this standard
article know that it is many hundred per
cent, better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, but a great
many do not know why. The simple
reason is that Mr. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other
manufacturers do not use them, because
they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr. Major tells us that
one of the elements of his cement costs
1915 pound, and another costs $3.50 a
gallon, while a large share of the so call
ed cements and liquid glue upon the
market are pothing more than sixteen
cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and, in some cases. altered slightly
in color and odor by the addition of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents
and twenty-five cents a bottle, and when
a dealer tries to sell substitute you can
depend upon it that his only object is to
make larger profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this is doubly true in
view of the fact that each dealer gets his
share of the benefit of Mr.. Majors ad-
vertising, which now amounts to over
$4,000 month throughout the country
Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Do not ac-
cept any off hand advice from druggist
If you are at all handy (and you will
be likely to find that you are a good deal
more so than yon imagine} you can re-
pair your rubber boots and family shoes
and any other rubber and leather arti.
5les, with Majors Rubber Cement and
Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how
many dollars year you will thus save.
IL your druggist can't supply you, 1t
will be forwarded by mail; either kind.

a FISH-CATCHlNG FISH.
He Has Mouth One-third the Size
of His Body.


Most remarkable of strange fishes is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
a paradox. The fishing fish is never
theless a reality and stern one to all
that approach those awful jaws OF his.
With q body the color of mud he gen
orally lies in the shadow Of some rock
on the bottom of the sea, waiting mo-
tiOnless for the approach of his prey.
He is provided with an odd kind of fin
just over the mouth, and this is held
out in front of him to give warning Of
the coming Of something to be sWal-
lowed. One taken alive was expert
mented on, and it was found that If
this projecting fin was touched with a
stick, even though the stick did not
come near the mouth, the jaws closed
cOIvulsively. This shows that the fin,
by some provision Of nature, closes the
jaws as soon as it is touched.
The mouth is tremendous, growing
to the width of foot when the whole
fish is only three feet long. One of
these anglers was caught not long
since, and, though it was only % inches
long, fish 10 inches long was found
sticking in it's throat. The angler is
provided with peculiar teeth set in
double or treble rows along the jaws
and at the entrance of the throat
Some Of these teeth are a foot long.
He is not a pretty fish to look at, but
he attends strictly to business and will
swallow anything that touches his
warning fin, whether it is meant for
food or not.
All kinds of things have been found
III the stomachs of anglers, from bits
of lead and stone to fish almost as large
as the angler itself This is without
doubt one of the most peculiar and in
teresting fish in the whole ocean.-St.
Louis GlObe-DemOcrat.

Hands haking.

In the days of knighthood every man
carried a sword and was ready to slash
his neighbor upon the slightest pretext.
When friends met, they grasped one
another by the right hand, thereby in
dicating peaceable intentions, as each
one thus gave up to the other his fight
ing arm. That is why we shake with
the right hand.-Ladies' Home Jour
