SAYINGS OF PHILIP D. ARMOUR
Utterances of the Late Famous Man
Of Business Which Contain
Good Advice.

Pithy sayings were characteristic
of the conversation and letters of the
late Philip d. Armour. Impressed
with their value, his office associates
recorded many of them, and the ap-
pended ones are few of number
published exclusively in Success. That
magazine gives them as valuable sug-
gestions to young men from master
in the art of business management:
Good men are not cheap.
Capital can do nothing without
brains to direct it.
An American boy counts one, long
before his time to vote.
Give the young man a chance; this
is the country of the young.
We can't help the past, but we can
look out for the future.
Hope is pretty poor security to go
to bank to borrow money on.
A Shutdown method" won't do a
minute in this age of aggressiveness.
There is nothing else on earth so
annoying as procrastination in deci-
sions.
A man does not necessarily have to
be lawyer to have good, hard sense.
An indiscreet man usually lives to
see the folly of his ways; and, if he
doesn't, his children do.
A man should always be close to
the situation, know what he is doing
and not take anything for granted.
There is one element that is worth
IL UpiOht IN, rn11 nd ho SC,
1t will cover a multitude of weak
nesses.
1t is an easy matter to handle even
congested controversies where the
spirit of the parties is right and
honest.
The trouble with great many men
is they don't appreciate their predica-
ment until they get into the quick
sand
When you are striving to do that
which is right, be courteous and nice
in every way, but don't get turned
down"
The man who wants to marry hap
PLY should pick out good mother
and marry one of her daughters; any
one will do.
Do you suppose that, with an en-
CINE like this, I could afford to put
anything into the boiler that would
make the machinery run wild?
1t is, all right, in some cases, to
bank on mans pedigree; but in
most men there is omething a great
deal deeper than this matter of
genealogy.
will always risk a man if he is in
the dark and knows it, but 1 haven't
much use for man who is cropping
around in the dark and doesn't
know it.

THANKSGIVINd
ihlvllM1 DAN. |

~ 80 music sleep!
Give US Sabbath DER the city; hush tiny
tempest on the deep!
With the golden sheaf of autumn lifted in
its stalwart hands,
At the threshold of the winter, 10, CRATE
full nation stands!
Up the years long path of blessings, need
less, thankless, we have trod;
But, to-day, the peoples altar sends Its
incense up to God;
Ring aloud, in spire and turret-in your
windy prison cells
Ring the morning in with anthems OF
thanksgiving. o We bells!
Gather, o we people, gather. where the
rudy hearths are bright,
And the shades of care and sorrow vanish
backward from the light!
Link anew the charmed circle of the house
holds broken chain;
Let the land be full of worship. and the
heart of love again.
Moon by moon the year has circled and
before us is enrolled
All the seasons perfect drama, as in count
less years of old;
In the valley sank the snow drift, and the
snow drop sprang anew,
And anon earth woke in flowers from
summer dream of dew;
Winter, spring and summer failed not, and
she drank the light and rain,
Till the sun-lit heaven lay mirrored in her
waving fields of grain.
Ger the wave the white-winged vessel
came, as went the ships of Greece
Happy Argonauts, returning with the prai-
ries' golden fleece.
Ger the land the song of labor, in the work
shop and the field,
Forth from ocean unto ocean, in a choral
wave has pealed
Therefore wake, in all your turrets-in
your windy prison cells
Ring the morning in with anthems of
thanksgiving, o We bells!

of women who have been restored to

received much valuable benefit myself

turkey, turnips and cold ham still
on your plate. Do you want anything
else?"
"Yes," said Ben, regretfully, "but
I can't hold no more"
Everyone laughed, and confessed to
a similar sensation. They chatted
and laughed and recalled bygone
Thanksgiving dinners in happier
days, until the walters were almost
starved. At last they sauntered out
on the still green lawn, and Rob and
Mary hastily cleared one end of the
table, while the others brought in
the dinner which had been saved for
the hungry people who had waited
three hours past the usual time for
dinner.
ST could not have waited much
longer" said Rob, dropping a hot
dish.
Neither could l." said Miss Hes
ter. "These victuals are half-dried
up; but nothing ever tasted BETTER
"Don't eat too much, Nellie" said
Mrs. Forbes to her daughter. "As
soon as dinner is over we will have
them all come into the sitting-room
and you can play for them and sing
"I'l play with pleasure, mamma,
but you must not expect much sing
ing, for I am starved"
"Let them do the singing" sug-
gested Miss Hester. eff Miss Nellie
is as hungry as I am, she cannot
stop eating for long time"
"Just the thing" said Nellie. 81

that suit them better than anything
modern. I hope I did not look too
much disappointed when Father
Brown took the last piece Of mince
pie"
It was late in the evening before
the dishes were washed and baskets
picked up, for concert followed the
dinner, and supper followed the con-
cert. Long after dark three tired but
thoroughly satisfied people got out
at Miss Hester's gate, and unloaded
the empty boxes, baskets and jars.
"Come at eight in the morning, Rob,
and we will go for the china and sill
yer. I am surely glad we did not
attempt to bring it this evening"
said Miss Hester.
"All right" responded Rob, cheer
fully. "That is, if 1 am able to move.
This is the hardest days work ever
struck, but I enjoyed it all the same"
The friends of Miss Hester were
still wondering how and where she
spent Thanksgiving, for all had no.

turned to Miss Hester, who was anx-
iously counting baskets and bundles:
"What can do for your"
81 am sure we have forgotten some
thing" answered that lady. "Did you
get the pies, Mary?"
"They are right under the front
seat" said Mary, taking as complete a
survey of the load as her burden per-
mitted. Everything is here except
the lemon tarts, and you told me not to
get them"
''The turkeys are still in the oven!"
exclaimed Miss Hester. Help me out,
Rob. Whoever heard of Thanksgiv-
ing dinner without turkey?"
After more packing and planning,
the wagon started, and just as the
town clock struck II they drove into
the beautiful yard surrounding a
huge brick building, which was known
to most people as the poor house.
Very few people said, infirmary, or
called the unfortunate inmates any
thing but paupers.
1t took but few minutes to explain
their visit to the astonished superin-
tendent and his wife, who were de-
lighted to find that the wagon load of
good things were for the people who
led such a cherries life in the big
building.
''We tried to persuade the directors
to allow our people a real Thanksgiv-
ing dinner this year; but they are up
for reelection, and want the taxpayers
to see how economical they are" eX-
planned Mr.. Forbes. 81 told Maria
there would be no turkey cooked in
this house to-day, unless all had a
share of it,"
eve did get an extra fine roast, but
paid for it ourselves" said his wife.
"You see, there are % persons here,
besides our own family, and it costs a
great deal to attempt anything out Of
the ordinary for so many. I'll just
send them all out of the kitchen and
dining-room, so we can have chance
to put this delicious dinner on the table
before they suspect anything"
In short time the long table was
spread with Miss Hester's best cloth,
and at each plate lay beautiful
white aster on. the shining napkin.
Everything was faultless, from the
polished silver to the spotless glass
and old-fashioned china. The big,
bare kitchen was filed with odors
foreign to that room, and the big
range was loaded down with good
things keeping warm till the table

was finished. Mary's wonderful loaf,
with its pink wreath, occupied the
place of honor, fanled by mounds
of sugary jumbles and soft ginger
bread, such as only Miss Hester
could make. At each end of the table
a vine-wreathed platter was loaded
with pears, peaches, grapes and ap-
Piles.
81 am truly afraid there will be
no room for the vegetables" said
Mrs. Forbes, as she looked at the
rusks. cookies, cold meats, jams and
honey that were rapidly taking all
the space on the table. But all was
finally settled, and the dinner bell
rang at the usual time.
It is impossible to describe the
looks of surprise, establishment and
joy on the faces of the unfortunate
people, as they came into the room.
It was the first homelike table many
of them had sat down to for years,
and tears rolled down many furrowed
cheeks, as old Father Brown rev.
erently asked blessing, and made
special mention of the kind friends
who on this joyful day remembered
the helpless and forlorn.
It was day long to be held in
memory by all. To people long &C.
customed to plain, coarse fare, there
was something inexpressibly delicious
in Miss Hester's dinner. They
praised Mary's cake, and Rob's lem
onade, and Miss Hester's doughnuts;
but enjoyed the turkey and sweet
potatoes most of all.
AS she filed an old lady's cup for
the third time with the clear, amber
fluid unknown to the poorhouse Ia
BILE, Miss Hester resolved that in the
future all who wanted it should have
good coffee every day.
"This is the first mince pie I have
had since mother died." said Father
Brown.
"a little more ounce jelly" said
a crippled boy, when Mary urged
him to have something more. So a
quivering pink island surrounded
with rich cream caused him to give
sigh of content, as he slowly ate
the dainty dessert.
