Clear Desk Won Success.

The following excerpt from the Phil
adelphia Inquirer carries valuable
lesson to young men:
Railroad circles as well as large por-
tion of the general public were greatly
interested in the resignation of W. A.
Garrett from the general superintendency
of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
a FIVE months ago to assume a more i'm
portant position with the Queen and Cres-
cent road. Mr. CARROTS rise in the rail-
road world has been phenomenal, but one
little story which he himself Etold TO a
neighbor hints at the secret of it all.
When / first went into the railroad
business as a young man, said Mr.. Gar
rett. q was called aside by one of the
other clerks. who said to me: Now Gar
rett. let me give you rip. You want all
ways to keep your desk Uttered with pa
pers, so that when the old man comes
around he will think you are terribly
busy Then he won't pile any more work
on you Well" continued Mr. Garrett,
II made up my mind that contrary to
this mans advice l would always keep
my desk cleared. And have done So
Today Mr.. Garrett is getting salary
of 900 a year. while his clerky coun-
selor is still drawing $50 a month and
wondering why luck is against him

Congratulations.

Mr.. John NJ Cullom, Editor of the Gar

cOngrai ulatious to the manufacturers Of

Sixteen years ago when our first child was

we would be very uneasy about him. We

Remedy In 1887, and finding it such re-
liable remedy for colds and Group, we have
never been without it in the house since
that time. We have five children and have
given it to all Of them with good results.
One good feautre of this remedy is that it is
not disagreeable to take and our babies
really like it. Another is that it is not
dangerous, and there is no risk from giving
an overdose / congratulate you upon the
success OF your remedy" For sale BY A..

Pike County Humor.


One Of the most famous stanzas in
the. English language is the oft quoted
one from Gray's "Elegy," Which runs
in this wise:
Full many gem of purest ray serene
The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean
bear;
Full many a flower is born to blush un-
And waste its sweetness on the desert
air.
There are divers men wearing their
lives away in comparative obscurity
on country papers who, if they had a
special column in a great metropolitan
daily, would become world famous.
One of these is Isaac Newton Bryson,
Jr., the philosopher of the Louisiana

Mark Twain himself never wrote a
richer bit of humor:

The old saying Experience is hard
school. but fools will learn in no 9TH
err finds its latest illustration in the
capers of the Turks. Their police
thought it fine fun to beat an Amer
lean consul at Alexandretta because
he manfulIy and courageously dis
charged his duty. The sultan has
learned the lesson that it will not do to
fool with and maltreat Americans by
being compelled to go down on his
marrowbones and humbly apologize for
the doings of his underlings Safe to
say that he will recoup himself by
chopping off the heads of the aforesaid
policemen.

If the spirits of the mighty dead
take any interest in mundane affairs,
wonder what one Napoleon Bonaparte,
who selected his marshals by their
noses, thinks of the capers of one of
his collateral descendants, Mr.. Charles
J. Bonaparte, who thinks that the fit
ness of. any man for any place can be
determined by civil service examina-
tons. The founder of the family had
very practical ideas as to men and
things. Tested by civil service exam
nations, it is doubtful whether Mi
chel Ney and Joachim Murat would
ever have risen to the rank of cor
poraIs. On penmanship Napoleon him
self would have graded about five on a
scale of 100, and he would not have
Jared much better as to his spelling.

although he may have the proper RENE

Is also used by physicians in the treat
