SUCCESS WITHOUT SHARPNESS.

In the June Cosmopolitan appears an excellent character sketch oi George Gilbert Williams. president of the Chemical National bank, New York, by Robert N. Burnett.
 MT. Williams reply to the question ''To what do you owe your success in life?" would seem affected in many, says the author, but it was purely nat ural and typical of the man. He said:
 'I attribute it to divine power and uprightness of transactions. I take no stock in the notion that one cannot succeed without so-called commercial sharpness, or trickirg. Any young man will succeed who is diligent and practices uprightness. Mind you. all cannot reach the top round of the lad der. In the banking business the great army must follow the routine dopart- ments. but opportunities for advance ment are ever -~esen.."

The Old Man Was Pleased

A fat old man with a shrewd eye walked into our store the other day and looking over the large and varied stock of useful things, said:
 Wall, I declare, you fellers are still at it, ain't you? I heerd 'em say SIX years ago that you'd bust in six months sure sellin goods at sich prices; sed you'd bust sellin' oil cloth at 15 cents a yard when it wuz worth 25 cents, and that you'd be in the hands of the re- ceiver sellin' vaseline at cents a bot tie when others sold it at 10 cents, and that it looked like a man wuz crazy to sell double sheets of sticky tiy-paper for cents when others he'd the sense to sell l fer cents.
 And so yer still doen bizness at the old stand. Say, Davidson, l want to see one of them Moore Steel Ranges like my neighbor got. The old woman sez it's the best baker with the least fuel of any stove she ever saw, an that you sell 'em cheaper than these long winded. credit stores do.''
 Yes We replied. glad of an oppor- tunity to get word in edgeways. We have Moore's Steel Ranges from S2O.OO to S65OO, in twenty different styles, and the cheapest one will hold the largest turkey roast pan."
 LATER.-The old man loading range in rear of Davidson's Cash Store. Say. Davidson, next time I come in the old lady'H be along to picl; out a set of dishes she took nightly to last time she wuz in. Much obleeged for tie palm leaf fans you gave me. Good day"

dark eyes opening great and round;

Movement in cauoa and Antigua t.
Break Away From Colombia.
Panama, Nov. 30.-An American raw
cling man who has just arrived here
from Buena Venture on the steamer
Manami after a stay Of twenty days In
the department OF Cauca, reports that
the feeling of unrest In Cauca and An
tioqua continues and hat the seces-
sion movement there has the support
of many prominent men, including a
number OF high officials. An outbreak
was recently started in Call, the bus
mess center of CauCa department, but
the authorities quickly suppressed II,
and arrested the ringleaders. who suf-
fered no harm, probably because the
sympathies of the officials were with
the movement. The secession move
ment, this man says is serious. but IL
is impossible to foretell what viii be
lone or when any step will be taken.
Americans at Cali have not been mo-
Tested. The discomfort in Cauca and
Antioqua arises from the same causes
that led TO the movement for i~ndepend-
ence on the isthmus.
Washington, Nov. 27.-The state de-
partment has advices from Minister
Beaupre at Bogota, dated November
IS, In hich ne states that considerable
excitement still prevails at the Colom-
bian capital. There was much tax
OF raising an army, but no troops had
yet been enlisted. There were rurnors
in the city of a revolution In Cauca, d.
rected against the Marroquin govern
ment. Rumors have reached the state
department from another source that
General Reyes mission to Washington
is primarily to try to array the oppo-
sition senators against the ratification
Of the canal treaty.

Raves VIII BE Watched.

Washington, Nov. 30.-EsespectinG
the coming of General Reyes to Wash
ington, it is said at the state depart
ment that much depends upon the ma
ture of his credentials as to the recep-
ton he will nave. 1t seems probable
that If he is brought to the department
by the Colombian charge, DR.. Herran'
he will be accorded a respectful hear
ing. But 1t also is pointed out that his
activities must be confined to lawful
channels as an alien, and n attempt
on his part to influence by direct rep
reservations any other than the eX-
ecutiVe branch of the United States
government would scarcely be viewed
with equanimity.
State department officials are await
ing a report from the United states
consul at Cartagena respecting he re-
fusal of the port authorities to allow
him to communicate with the British
mail steamer Trent. 1t is the convic-
ton at the department that the off,
cials at Cartagena, which is in the
province Of Bolivar, are acting entire
ly without authority from the COlOm-
hian government at Bogota, and in iaCt
II is suspected that a state approach
ing anarchy exists through Colombia.
While the department cannot act in
the case OF it's consul until the matter
is made the subject of a formal report,
II is believed that the British govern
nent VIII not tolerate such author
ized Interference with its merchant
shipping in time of peace.

Reads Like a Miracle.

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 30.-The
Butler case still continues to be the
talk of the town. Mr.. G. l.. Butler,
the father of the little boy, says:
1.-The doctor said my boy had disease
Of the spinal chord, and treated him
for two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally, the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling and would want to run from the
house, saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, / read an adver-
tlsement Of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles. pur-
chased some and used them until he
had taken altogether eight boxes,
when he was sound and well with
not q single symptom of IN old trou-
Bile. This was some months ago, AND
I feel sure hat he is permanently
cured. We owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills
all the credit for his restoration to
good health"
