Men, Methods and Work.

The manager, for very successful
money maker, said that he worried
over the big things, while his employ.
er worried over the little things.
The manager got along with the
employees and the details better than
the proprietor did, but the proprietor
got along with the whole business
much better than the manager could
Some men can keep anything run
ming lovely If some one else will only
see that pay day Is passed in good
shape. The man able to attend to
payday requirements might rattle
the whole concern If he were to see to
little things.
A man able to make a hundred dol
lars an hour may be able to hire for
a hundred dollars a month a man who
can do some things better than the
employer can do them.
Few are able to get living doing
just what they want to do, and very
few are willing to limit their efforts
to the things they can do the best.
One man told me that more men
failed in his line of work for lack of
ability to handle men than for any
other or all other reasons.
Few men know how to interest,
animate, educate. and keep on good
terms with other men. In some cases
the more you know the more in the
background you have to go, due it may
be to having more Knowledge than
skill.
In one, case, of an unpopular fore
man going on a vacation and popu-
day, the product was over twenty per
cent more than usual.
II ten thousand men of all kinds
should find themselves out of work,
one might create ideas, another exc
cute them, another organize and man
age the others.
Some could do some parts of the de-
tail work twice as well as some of
the others could. One would be a
good buyer of material ana another a
good collector of accounts.
Some would win honors and some
would get disgraced but they would
finally drift or climb, fall or jump, to
positions just as we find them to-day.
Only this difference-the successful
might make better use of their success
and the failures profit by their ex-
pensive experiences more than they
have been doing during this century.
If this possibility were to be &C
complished the next century would be
more than a hundred years ahead, and
the common humdrum life would be
quite ideal. zss- a~.>.
If our best intelligence were to &C
company our every action much would
be done. We all know why things arc
| not better than they are.

CHAPTER xi.--contInued.

Then my lord withdrew to his little
dungeon of cabin, and the two cap.
tains went on deck TO pace while
and smoke after their morning repast.
Dreadful as was the state of Lord
titzgibbon it was not to last much
longer, for in the morning watch
call right ahead was reported by the
man On the lookout. Grindal knew
his duty. The captain was not yet
turned out. The boatswain stepped
below and knocked Pope's cabin door.
"Hallo!" roared Pope.
"A sail right ahead, sir" answered
Grindal.
Trim SAIL" cried Pope, "and keep
your friend right under your flying
jibboom-end"
"Ay, ay. sir"
The boatswain returned on deck,
and in very few minutes Captain
Pope stood by his side with his brill
liant telescope at his eye.

Pope, aloud, but to himself. "Grindal,
we want to make nothing off our
course; get neutrality-suspicious. rugged
out and the sails set, and load Long
Tom with blank cartridge; he must
be brought TO stand"
A little while after the gun was

Il hope. my lord, to transfer you to

and making a low bow.
But, Captain Pope, she is sailing
into Sire Atlantic"

exclaimed Pope with an engaging
smile. And while he spoke the Gypsy
fioated abreast Of the little brigan-
tine, whose name, writ large upon her
stern, was the Catesby of Sunder-

A tall man stood near the taffrail.

ONES Sphere of Usefulness.

One OF the most important things
for us to learn early, is what we are
able to do and not to do. AS for my
self, I believe was born without
sense of money value. and as look
back and note my expenditures and in
vestments, feel that | might have
had nice little property to-day had
put my wasted dimes and dollars reg
ularly in some trustworthy place. 1t
has taken me quarter CT a century
to recognize my inability to lend mon
ey commercially, or in a wise way so
cially. and feel like saying to all
young people the quicker you can find
out what you can do well, and what
you are unable to do well, the better ii
will be for you.

Not long ago GIFTS English silver
pennies, which some man had boarded
up for his own benfit in times when
pennies were silver. were sold to the
public at auction in London, real
izing $500 for the national treasury.
This money was dug up by some
laborers at Colchester while laying
the foundations of a building. The
crown stepped in and seized the find.
but it rewarded the finders, and o
few rare coins in the collection were
sent 10 the British museum. When
the hoard was found the price of these
silver pennies went down In all the
coin collectors markets. This strange
and not particularly reasonable law
of treasure trove" has extended
from England to France, Germany
Spain and Denmark. If any one finds
hidden treasure and conceals it for
kis own use he is liable to fine and
Imprisonment. 1t used to be a hang
ing matter.

The Man Himself Studies.

What is the cause of criminal care
lessness?' Two years ago man ask
ed me the above question. He had
been having trouble and l have been
thinking about the subject ever since.
1t may be due to ignorance. Some
claim that people are not as good nor
as bad as they appear to be-if we
knew more we would be better. But
we will know more If we are any good
and have our goal in the right place.
The idea that experience Is dear
school but fools will learn IN no other,
might be revised to read: 1t is a
wise man who learns by experience;
fools never learn. Though a man is
not to be blamed for being born ig-
norant. he can be blamed for re-
manning ignorant, and continued or
repeated carelessness may be called
criminal
