some rural gentlemen from Iowa He

The climax of the feast was water
melon into which had been emptied
two quarts of champagne. When the
farmers began to eat the watermelon
they smiled and smacked their lips
and ate again. Then of one accord
they slipped into their own pockets a
handful of the seed. They wanted to
raise some of the same kind of melons
on the own farms. y

Colombia says it has no objections
to a Panama canal, provided the terms

paying the expenses of another revolu-

But the sombre qualities of that play
did not fit Miss Thurston's happy dis

Some inquisitive person at the capitol
at Des Moines has figured out the
number of nominees from the differ
ent districts of the state at the hands of
republican state conventions since the
birth of the party. He has gone
through the records and found the
location of every nominee for state
office. He has figured out by dis
tricts the number of times each dis
trict, or the counties which now
compose these districts, have had can
didates ON the republican state tickets
since and including 1860 The re-
suit is surprising. 1t is as follows /;
First district, 22; Second, 23; Third,
pa; Fourth, 81 Fifth, 2S; Sixth, % ,
Seventh, 50; Eighth, 12; Ninth, 20 ;
Tenth, 20; Eleventh, Z. These are
not separate candidates, but separate
nominations and include all on state
tickets. Eight disticts have had can
didates for governor, nine for lieuten-
ant governor, five for secretary of
state, six for auditor, seven for treas
urer, ten for judges of the supreme
court, seven for attorney general, four
for clerk of supreme court, four for
reporter of the supreme court, seven
for railroad commissioner, five for
superintendent of public instruction,
and five for register of the state land
Office.

A GOOD INVESTMENT.
Honesty Pays Better Profits Than
Trickery or Deceit.
senator Chauncey NJ. Depew breaches
a sermon 10 Young Men Who
Want 90 Become Rich and
Respected.

Honesty is TOO much talked about
as If it were scarce in these days. The
business principles of to-day are bet
ter, purer and more universally hon
est than they were in the days of my
boyhood. Then the motto of life ran
something like this: "All is fair in
love, war and trade" But this gener-
alton has tabooed that maxim and
business methods were never better
or more reputable than they are at
this minute.
Many immense fortunes, says
Chauncey NJ. Depew, in the Chicago
Chronicle, have been made by men of
this generation who employed strictly
honest means to attain their ultimate
success and great wealth. Take Bes-
semer as an apt illustration. He in
vented the steel which is used so ex-
tensively all over the world for car
rails and revolutionized the manufac-
ture of steel, giving employment to
thousands of persons and bringing
wealth to many besides himself. He
only made $40, 900 out of the in
vention, and / have heard people say
thay they thought this amount was
entirely too small sum for the inven-
tion of 50 wonderful an improvement.
l think myself that it was quite re-
spectacle sum.
Many man, as we all know, has
made a fortune through judicious adj
vertising. Take two men starting in
business at the same time; one uses
all the money he makes in living well,
and sometimes even extravagantly.
The other invests all the surplus cash
that he can lay his hands on in adver-
Using here, there, everywhere that he
thinks will attract public notice. What
is the result? The man who adver-
tises has crowds fiocking to his shop to
see the beauties of the advertised
goods, and as the public begin to run
so they will continue from sheer force

of habit. The first shopkeeper will
in the meantime be sitting unthought
of and uncared for, aghast at the
crowds that daily throng the counters
of his competitor and bitterly bewail-
ing the bad luck which has followed
his own venture into trade. Yet he
has no one to blame for it but himself.
Some persons might consider that
old Commodore Vanderbilt was dis
honest because he did not refund the
money which the stockholders of the
Hudson River & Harlem railroads
would have made If they had contin-
ued to hold their stock after he took
hold of the roads. But he was not.
They cheated themselves out of the
money by not being far-sighted
enough to hold on to their stock.
When the commodore had made $780,
100000 in shipping of various sorts he
looked about for some thing good in
which he might invest his capital. He
found these railroads, which were
then in most deplorable, out-of-date
condition-the stock only worth SIS on
500 and the bonds you could not sell
for love or money. But he took hold,
built new bridges, put all modern inn
provements into the car service, advo-
Gated new signal systems, in short, he
infused new blood into the entire
service of the road at an enormous
outlay of capital-and then he waited.
And all the capital came back, bring
ing much additional wealth with it.
/ have seen many men who have be-
come wealthy through dishonest
methods, and my experience with
them has taught me this: That most
men who gain wealth dishonesty, If
they live long enough. get poor again.
1t is almost an invariable rule.
The main temptation with which
the ordinary business man of to-day is
beset is the temptation to misrepre-
sent his capital or business prospects,
and thus obtain greater credit. But
don't do it. 1t does not pay. The old,
old adage, "Honesty is the best pol
ICY" is the safest motto for every
business man to follow. And I know
what ! am talking about, too.
"Be cool and you'll be happy, but
you won't have a good time" NAV
sound very smart and elicit rounds of
applause, but ii is a fallacy through
and through. 1t is easier, much easier,
for an honest man to become wealthy
than for his dishonest brother, who
may seem to prosper for a time, but,
mark my words. it is only temporary
success.
