A SIGN OF PROSPERITY.

One Of the features of the work of the
Remington Typewriter Company Is the
employment departments which IL main
tains in every city Of the country. which
supply stenographic help without charge
either 10 employer or employe. The
figures for the work Of these departments
FOR the year 1902 tell a most interesting
story. During the year. no less than
IA 600 stenographers were placed in po-
sitiOns in the cities OF New York and
Chicago alone. while every other city of
importance Ia the country shows a SINH
lar proportion. The business Of the Rem
ington Employment Departments has
been growing steadily Of recent years.
but this record for 1902 surpasses every
thing. The stenographer is, OF course.
an absolute essential in the conduct Of
modern business. and the steady growth
in the demand FOR such help shows clear
~ the present prosperity Of the country.

KEYS TO SUCCESS.
MIR. Edward Box, Editor of the Ladies' Home
Journal, Tells Young Men How
Success is Won.
Euer,, ,,n,,nn 1,an mante

Every young man wants to succeed.
There is nothing SO self-satisfying as the
bountiful rewards which await the man
who struggles and conquers. Fame,
honor, wealth and power are the laurels
which Success bestows.
The present century is rep1ete with
examples of young men, who, alone and

of the lowest places in
the Company's service. Again, the
young man who came to this country
over thirty years ago, penniless and
trlendless, and who, during the first two
years, earned only $500, working beside
tank foul with the smell of oil but
to-day, there is scarcely drop of oil
consumed in this country which has not
been purchased from his stupendous
organization, the Standard Oil Company.
In another walk of life, we see at the
head of a great college, a man who
chopped wood to pay his way through
school.
The great captains of industry of to-
day were the poor boys of thirty years
ago. It was not wealthy parent nor an
Influential friend who started these men
on the road to fortune; they made their
own opportunities they fought their own
battles; they have won.
What is the secret of their success?
What is that irresistible force which has
enabled them to overcome all obstacles,
to surpass their fel1ow-men? Every am
bilious young man is searching for this
secret. He believes that honesty, So
briefly, perseverance, and determination
are essentials in the foundation on which
to build successful career, and vet he
realizes that he must possess something
more than these mere prerequisites if he
would achieve conspicuous success.
Those who have studied the lives of
successful men will tell you that they all
possessed a certain force of character
the power to mould the opinions and
direct the actions of Others John D.
Rockefeller has often said that he at
tributes his success largely to his ability
to influence and control the minds of
men. How to acquire that power is told
by Mr.. Edward Box in his Lecture, "Keys
to Success" the most inspiring address to
young men ever heard from an American
platform. Mr.. Box does not preach
theory; he gives good, sound, practical
advice. He tells young men just how
they can develop those qualities indis-
pensable to success, and win both money
and power. Every word is suggestive
and inspiring.
The Publishers of this Lecture, John
D. Morris and Company, 1903 Chestnut
Street, Philadelphia, Pa, are DESTROYS
that every ambitious young man should
possess a copy of Keys to Success, -
and they will send, complimentary, a
complete copy of this Address to every
reader who will write for it, mentioning
this paper. and enclosing six cents to
cover mailing expenses. "Keys to Sue
cess" is one of the many inspiring
speeches contained in Modern Flo
quence,' a library of famous After-Din-
ner Speeches, Addresses and Lectures, in

There are agreat many men who,
having taken up government land.
have never recorded their patents
for the same. They do not real
ize that their title rests entirely
on that patent and that 1t should
be recorded by all means. Many
others neglect to have their deeds
and releases of mortgages record
ed. Such neglect will give them,
or some one else, a great deal of
trouble, at some time. There is
another thing which many people
do not know, and that is; an un-
recorded deed, though of prior
date, will not hold as against a
later deed which is placed on rec
ord. For example: A gives a
deed of land to B, who neglects
to record the instrument; subse-
quently A gives another deed for
the same property to c, who re-
cords his instrument and will, ac-
cording to the laws of this state.
be entitled to the land, even
though b has an unrecorded deed
of an earlier date. Many people,
who borrow money on their land
run another risk. They pay the
mortgage and receive a release,
which they neglect or fail to re-
cord, and the paper is eventually
lost. Unless the party who gave
them the release is living, and
they are able to procure another,
they will have grave difficulty in
removing the cloud from their
title to the property.
Every person who owns real
estate should, if he has not al.
ready done SO, carefully examine
his title to the same, or have
some competent person do so for
him, and see that all of his pat
ents, deeds and releases are prop.
erly recorded.
