THE INDISPENSABLE MAN.
Prudent Business Men Now Get Rid OF
That POmpOsity.

Prudent Business Men Now Get Rid of
That Pomposity.
Some of the most successful bust
ness men in this country make it a
rule to dispense with the services of
any man in their employ, no matter
how important his position may be,
as soon as he comes to regard himself
as indispensable" says Success. This
may seem harsh and even unbusiness-
like; but, if We look into it, we shall
find that there is wisdom in this prac-
tice. Experience proves that, the mo-
ment man looks upon himself as abb
solutely necessary, he usually ceases
to exercise to the fullest extent the
faculties which have helped him to
rise to that indispensable point. He
becomes arrogant and dictatorial, and
his influence in an organization Is
bound to be more or less demoraliz-
ing. Many concerns have been seri-
ously embarrassed by the conduct of
managers, superintendent, or heads
of departments, after they had reached
positions where they thought no one
else could take their places. This
undue appreciation of ones own i'm
portance is as disastrous in its re-
suits as utter lack of self-esteem. 1t
is really evidence of narrow mind,
and ignorance Of general conditions;
for the man WHO is up to the times.
thoroughly posted in regard to the
worldwide trend of the twentieth
century, will realize that there are few
people in the world no matter what
their talents or ability, who cannot
be replaced. 1t is a very rare charac-
ter, indeed, that is imperatively nee
essary, and the man who actually
reaches this point does not brag OF it,
nor act as if he considered himself
indispensable"

II Queens Electric Motor Car

Queen Alexandra has become pos
sessed Of a victoriette, which she has
learnt to drive herself. Seated for two,
it's framework is articulaLed, so that
1t adapts itself to any unevenness Of
road without stress or strain. The sin
gle motor is of h. p, of four pole type,
and can be worked to five times nor
NAL capacity without any injurious ef-
fects.
The batteries are fitted in the rear
portion of the carriage, and contain
sufficient energy for thirty-five Or forty
miles on one charge. The car is cleo
trically 1T and fitted with japanned
lamps, relieved with silver-plate fit
tings; the wheels are of bicycle type,
and fitted with 3-inch pneumatic tires.
Speed Of car is from six miles to four
teen miles per hour
The queen herself has become an ex-
pert driver, and derives great pleasure
from this pleasing little vehicle, which
is now quite familiar in the neighbor-
hood of Sandringham.

New Style Of Necktie Holder.

Numerous devices for securing a
made-up tie in its proper position in
relation to the collar are already in
use, but there is always an opening
for novelty for a good thing in this
line. The latest idea for this purpose
is nothing less than a pair of spring
jaws which grip the head Of the collar
button and hang on until made to let
60 The foundation in the case OF a
bow tie is formed Of two thin plates
Of steel and from the inner ends of
the plates two sections are cut and
bent backward toward each other. The
plates being hinged together and pro-
vided with a stiff spring, which throws
the ends backward, the tendency OF
the jaws is to tightly grip the shank
of the button when they have once
been spread apart and forced over the
head. The same idea may be applied
to the four-in-hand and other ties. A
Pennsylvania man is the inventor.

CAVOUR AS A PAGE.
Emphatic Way in Which the Boz Re-
sented an IndIgnity.

Emphatic Way i'm Which the Boz Re-
sented an IndIgnity.
In the recently published reminis-
cences of the Count of Reiset. long
French ambassador to Italy, is found
the following anecdote of the young
Cavour at the time when he was for
a brief period at the court Of Victor
Emmanuel: The pages, as is known,
served the king. the queen, the
princes and princesses of the blood at
royal fetes. Beyond this they were
forbidden to render any service. All
these lads belonged to the noblest
families of the land. One evening lit
tie Camille Cavour entered the throng
room, bearing a tray covered with
ices, which he offered to the king, the
queen and princes of the blood. But,
as he was going back with some Ices
still on the tray, a man of high rank
stepped up to the young Camille and
snatched an ice from the tray, which
the page was holding with both hands.
Cavour drew himself up, glared at this
nobleman who had so signally failed
in etiquette, and raising the porcelain
tray as high as he could, let it smash
in a thousand pieces on the floor. To
the Chamberlain rebuke for clumsi-
ness, he replied that he had done IL on
purpose, as the only possible retort TO
the indignity which he had suffered"
The affair was the immediate cause
OF Cavours leaving the court for the
military school. Thus early, concludes
the Count de Reiset, did the man
whom Victor Emmanuel feared ter
ribly' assert himself.

Ulin and Julian.
Ulin hesitated and trembled, and
finally sat down upon the bench from
which the chieftain had arisen. In q
few moments she had recovered her
self so that she could speak without
faltering.
Good sir, have one question to ask
you" She went on hurriedly. an
though the old impulse still led her;
"You had not planned to leave the
cave so soon?"
Il had planned nothing about 1t,
lady"
Buff I had not been here, with
my servant. you would have remained
longer?"
Lady. do not ask me such ques-
tons"
Il must ask them, sir, for I want
to know. II l thought that my pres
ence here had caused you to leave
your old home, l should be most un-
happy. When / came here I did not
know how near and dear this place
was to you. II one OF us must go,
let me find some other resting place"
Julian started and trembled like an
aspen. A moment it was so, and then
he turned upon the maiden q look so
earnest and so deep and so full Of
tumultuous feeling, that she shook be-
meath it,
Lady" he said, speaking almost In
a whisper, you shall know the Sc
cret which / had purposed never to
reveal to mortal being. The words
are forced from me. Let me speak
them now; and then let them be for
gotten. When l heard that the king
of Damascus had shut up a fair maid
en- within the Palace of Lycanius, and
that he meant to make that maiden
his wife, l felt my heart grow sick
within me and l resolved if the fair
one was held against her will, that I
would set her free. I led my brave
men to the palace and overcame the
guard which the king had set. Heaven
was opened, but in the blessed realm
I was offered no abiding place. I saw
the loved spirit OF light within the
cave which had been the home of my
childhood; but my love l dared not
speak. How could 1. the enemy of
Damascus, and the branded robber,
tell my love to the daughter Of the
kings prime minister. Lady, I dare
not trouble you more"

Something More Than a Dream
On the following morning. when
Ulin entered the main cave. Julian
was there to greet her. She extended
her hand to him and smiled as she
spoke. The youthful chieftain was
somewhat pale, but his large, lustrous
eyes burned with a deemed intensity
and the white brow offered a strange
contract to the waving masses of golden
hair. The maiden's smile faded away
when she met the earnest gaze that
was fixed upon her, and her hand
trebled before she withdrew it. He
spoke to her few words of cheer, ex-
pressed his gratitude that she had
found a place Of safety; and hoped
that the future might have no more
clouds for her.

on he took long lease of the site upon
which at the time there stood an old
and somewhat dilapidated family man
sion.
Thackeray's first idea was to repair
and alter this house. but he afterward
decided to pull it down together. The
annual rental Of the Palace Green
property was $500, a figure which
Thackeray's friends thought rather be-
yond his means, and when he began
his building operations they were
aghaSt at his extravaganza. The au-
thor's Judgment was indicated even
tually however, for when the house
was sold after his death it brought
$4,000 more than it had cost.

Saving Fruit from Frost.

Not only does the meteorologist to-
day warn the agriculturist OF those
rainfalls of which it Is so useful to
have advance knowledge in gathering
crops, but he notifies the fruit raisers
of Florida and California of approach
Ing frosts. and In the latter state the
weather bureau at San Francisco has
made careful studies in certain locali-
ties, not only On the conditions OF pro-
ducing frost, but of practical methods
of protecting fruit therefrom. In the
fruit region particularly affected by
frosts the citrus crop-"the lines, and
lemons, and oranges"-amounts to
about $5,00O,000 year, and until re-
Gently the farmers have simply re-
garded the destructive frosts which at
times befell certain spots as an ire
