pressed desire to bag some caribou,
and a friend who knew the country
thoroughly advised him to go to Wau-
bagun. a station on a branch of the
Northern Pacific.
There is nothing but a water
tank there" said his friend, land only
one man in the whole section, a Scotch
recluse, who looks after the tank; but
he is a superb guide, and as he has only
one train a day to watch out for he
will give you all the sport you want"
The New Yorker went, won the re-
gard of the hermit and slew caribou
by the score.
Last summer he was in Scotland. and
while roaming over the moors one day
lost his way. At length he espied a lit
tie cottage and, making for it, inquired
for directions and asked if he could
not be accommodated with something

body, at once set about getting him a

streets enter into an examination of
the causes of business failures. The
main things needed for success, it says,
are credit, capital and business abil-
ity, to which may be added oppor-
tunity and luck in its broad mean
ing.
There were, according to Brad
streets investigation, 1,2O5, $50 concerns
doing business in the United States
last year, and of this number 10,64S. or
0.S8 per cent, failed. 1t was greater
than either of the two preceding years,
but back of 1899 no percentage of num-
Der failing so small can be found earli-
er than 1882.
In tracing the causes of failures in
1901 the great number are, of course,
laid to faults of those who failed
Eleven specific causes are assigned. OF
the 10,64S 1928 failed from lack of cap-
ital, 1923 from incompetency, LISA be-
cause of fraud, S26 by inexperience.
|. Summed, up briefly, the three great
causes Of business failures attributable
to the trader himself were lack of cap
ital, incompetency and inexperience, in
the order named, the three accounting
for 57.1 per cent of all failures, as
against 81 per cent in 1900, while spe-
cific conditions and undue competition,
not attributable to the trader himself,
accounted for 27.3 per cent of all the
disasters. Specific conditions" cover
exceptional and unlooked-for circum-
stances, such as the steel strike, the
corn crop failure, the lower price of
cotton at the south. These specific con-
ditions are credited with 1,755 failures
last year. This is one-sixth of the
whole number.
The most important thing to have
in business, according to Bradstreet's,
is good credit. Only 90 of 1 per cent
of those who failed were rated in very
good credit, and similar statistics for
previous years would seem to abso-
lutely fix and confirm the statement
that in normal years, or in years of
prosperity, good credit is the one most
important asset without which all
success is VAIN
Lack of capital is a great cause of
nearly one third of the 10000 failures,
with its corollary in the effort to do
too large business upon the capital
employed.

LAST JOKE TOLD BY LINCOLN.
Related the Story to Marshal Lamon
an Hour Before He Was Shot.
HUosb;,,rr+o,. c,+o,N
dSnlngtOn STAR.

The last story ever told by President
Lincoln was just before he left the
White House togo to the theatre the
night he was killed. This is vouched for
employee of the White House. and who
went with Mr.. Lincoln to his carriage on
the fatal night.
Il have every reason" said Mr.. Pen
del, for saying that the last pleasant
little story Mr.. Lincoln ever told was
right here in this house. AS is generally
known, Speaker Colfax and Mr.. Ash
mond of Massachusetts, were the last gem
tlemen to call on the president prior to
his departure for the theatre When
these gentlemen called l carried their
cards to Mr.. Lincoln, and L know that
they were the last to see him.
However, not very long before they
came Mr.. Lincoln had received a visit
from Marshal Lamon, who was from the
presidents home district. 1t was Mr.
Lamon who, had introduced me to the
president when | received my appoint
ment in November, 1864. Mr.. Lamon
wanted to talk to Mr. Lincoln about a
pardon for an old friend, a soldier. who
had been found guilty of some slight
was thoroughly gone over by the two,
and, with pen in hand, Mr.. Lincoln was
in the act of signing the paper which
made the soldier free man, when he
turned to Mr.. Lan1on and said:
.Lamon, do you know how the Pata-
gonians eat oysters?
No, L do not, Mr.. Lincoln was the

them as fast as they can, throw the
shells out of the window, and when the
pile of shells grows to be higher than the
house, why, they pick UP stakes and
move Now. Lamon, 1 feel like Begin
ming a new pile of pardons. and 1 guess
this is a good one to begin on
1T wasn't long after this before the
other gentlemen came. and when they
had finished their call Mr.. and Mrs. Lin
coin came down and l went with than
to the carriage. That was the last time
l saw the good man alive.
Mr. Pendel says that he had every OPP
portunity to study the president, for he
was in the room with him nearly all the
time, veritable bodyguard Mr. Lin
coin did not like the idea of being guard
ed. and made frequent objections to hav-
ing some one constantly near him. On
one occasion he said to Mr.. Pendel:
"Pendel L do not like to be guarded,
but l have received a number of threat
ening letters lately. | have no fears,
however. That fellow we saw over at
the war department crouching at the
foot of the stairs and who eyed me sus-
ton of a man / was warned to look out
for in a letter | received the other day"
Mr.. Lincoln did not tell smutty jokes"
said Mr.. Pendel land ] never heard him
utter a word that could not have been
spoken in the presence of a woman or
child. 1 dislike to read ins papers ana
hear people say that Mr.. Lincoln told
that kind of jokes. He was not a shout
ing Christian, but he 'wasta genuinely
good man; as kind and tender-hearted as
melancholy i think Mr.. Lincoln realized
that every moment of his life he stood in
the shadow of death, though he did not
care to acknowledge it."
