Lauson's Maxims.

Here are some business maxlms that
have guided Mr.. Thomas W. Lawson
to success:
Be true to your best instincts.
Be thorough.
Never let anything pass you In your
business that you do not understand.
Trace every effect back to its cause;
otherwise you are not fully equipped to
carry on business.
Work with enthusiasm and with all
your powers. DO only one thing at n
time and feel that thing is the most i'm
pOrtant thing in the world while doing
It.
In dealing with man look him
straight In the eye. Then you are at
your best.
II your enemy strikes at you and
hurts. don't let him see that he has
hurt you. Rldicule him and strike
when your time comes.
Accept defeat phllosophically.
Apply logic to all business PROPOSE
lions. II they will not stand the test OF
logic. reject them.
In the stock market don't expect 10

No man ever can do It. Unless you are
on the inside don't speculate.

Are of Animals.

A dove once lived twenty-five years
In a cage.
Fish are such selfish creatures that
they ought to live long. They never get
hot.
Carp are said to live hundreds OF
years, and pike are also very hardy
old fellows.
There are some insects that live but
a few hours. Some live but day, and
all OF them are short lived.
The wild beasts do not live long, but
elephants are sometimes very old, and
then they grow helpless, just like old
people and cannot do anything for
themselves.

Five little fairies went out 70 take tea
Under the shade Of juniper tree;
Each had cup from an acorn ball cut
And a plate from the rnd Of q hickory nut.
And the table was spread with a cloth all Of lace
Which the spiders had woven the banquet to
grace.
Oh. such good things a. they all had to eat

Social Sir Thomas.

Sir Thomas Lipton's concern for re-
porters was noticeable when he arrived
in New York recently. The first ques-
ton he asked the reporters who went
on the vessel to see him was: Boys,
have you had any dinner? / haven't
had anything TO eat since l O'clock
1t was then 6-"and l thought you
might be hungry" Sir Thomas said
he wanted the reporters to come to
him every time they wanted to know
anything while he was here. Don't
ask my secretaries anything. because
will not be responsible for what they
say. Come to me every time, and then
/ will stand by what say"

over in the balance dry dock at the

this afternoon. One man is known to
have been killed and many others in

Added to the horrors OF tonight was

to get to the dock and leap into the
water as the vessel was sinking. but it
is feared that the majority were less
fortunate.
The Ingalls, went into dry dock. this
morning. and about $50 900 was to have
been expended on repairs. The dock
in which she was placed was n very
old one. having been constructed over
80 years ago. An effort was made to
close the gates at the time of the acct
