DON'T BE Al KNoCKER.

John Eggleston Of New York. known
as The Moral Ink Peddler." has late
" been advising his business friends in
print Here are a few extracts from his
advice card.
Don't be a 'knocIxer'
IF there's a chance to boom business,
boom it; don't put on long face and
look as though you had a sour stomach.
When stranger drops in, jolly him. Tell
him this is the greatest town on earth
and it is. Don't discourage him by
speaking i'll of your neighbors. Lead
him TO believe he has at last struck a
place where white people live.
Help yourself along by becoming
popular and push your friends with you.
It's dead easy. Be a good fellow and
soon you'll have a procession of follow
ers. No man ever helped himself by
knocking other people down in character
and business NO man ever got rich by
trying to make others believe he was
the only man IN town. or the only man
IN town who knew anything. You can't
climb the ladder Of success by treading
on others eorns. Keep Off the eorns--
and don't knock
You're not the only pebble on the
beach.
There's no end OF fun you can have
ninding your own business It makes
other people like you.
Nobody gets stuck on a knocker.
Don't be one"

sands of millions Of miles away from u.s.
the debris resultant upon the collision
was visible to the artificial eye Of human
invention.
The first effect Of such a collision must
have been the development of heat
so intense as to burn up the spheres
When first seen the bodies appeared as
a new. star of the eleventh magnitude
and were so heraIded by the interested
but scarcely excited astronomers. Later
the stellar light vanished from tele-
scopic vision; but the more sensitive
Photographic film caught and preserved
its image as a nebuia, or diffuSed cloud
of luminous particles, while the spec
trum revealed to the now ecstatic star
gazerS its character or composition. The
whole terrific event of the collision and
consumption of these worlds and the
creation or a nebula was discovered by
accident, in a sense No peerer into the
starry depths was on the watch for any
thing so momentous and instructive
when the photographers plate pictured
the apparent new star; and the suhse-
quent condition was photographed when
the camera was set for common game
Wonderful as this destruction of worlds
must seem to man, even more interest
ing and vastly more instructive would
be the birth Of a new world, or of
worlds from she nebula to which the
mass has been reduced.

by science to read all flesh is gas in

have been evolved suns and worlds and
man himself. It is the theory of sci
ence that worlds and systems must go
on forming and dissolving forever; that
the process of evolution which has trans
formed the original volatile matter into
more and more complex and stable
forms will continue until all the energy
which has kept the particles apart shall
have been set free, when the free energy
must attack and tear down what it has
built up, reducing all matter at last to
the original nebulous state to be again
evolved into new suns and worlds. In
the case of the colliding spheres the
matter has been more quickly trans
formed by the heat Of a smash-up.

Enough SO that anyone after seeking his
picture would recognize him if he was
found polking a parrot. On the bill
boards he has blond hair and looks
young and is clad in the very latest cut
of light overcoat. On the street he looks
to be about 40 years old, his hair is black
but well tinged with gray and his face
has not that boyish softness of the lith-
ograph. He wears very plain blue suit
and instead of stage diamond a modest
ring. Even when he is talking in a. SER

voted at every presidential election since

The steam schooner San Pedro. arriv-

which will allay all fears as to the
safety of the ship Robert Dollar.
When the San Pedro left Nome on
the 18th instant the Dollar was in the
harbor. and announcement of her sail
ing date had not then been given out.
There is great competition at Nome for
passenger traffic, and the San Pedro
people think the vessel was held over in
order to fill up her accommodations.
