Arcad, lndices to houeht.

Men in business are growing lists
OF things TO think of in time to save
time.
One man has long printed list OF
questions for himself to answer bc-
fore he let's the customer, who calls
with an order get away from him.
A minute invested in studying his
index may save an hour or prevent a
day Of trouble.
You may have noticed a storekeep-
err keeping blank book in which
items out of stock are recorded so
that when an order is sent or the
salesman calls the articles wanted
are down In black and white.
A few days ago gave a young
man an order for some printing and
after getting miles away from him
there were several questions wished
he had asked me. | was his Gus
toner and 1t is the place of the seller
to have forethought questions which
will prevent his customer having re-
gret.
One editor wrote me that he could
not see the Arcade Index. Why do
call 1t Arcade? Arcade means a walk
arched over and during my early re-
searches | was impressed by a mon
strous arcade building which con-
tained many kinds OF stores and Of
fees. Wanting to give my library a
name for a special occasion. l selected
arcade because 1t is an arch over
every day subjects personally useful
to mechanical. commercial and pro-
fessional people. II you have list
of things to think to do. to me that
is an Arcade Index. II You keep a
note and scrapbook. to me they are
Arcade Index Records. My work is
to help you make better lists and
more useful books for greater skill in
living and doing.

DON'T PARADE HARD LUCK.
Hard Sense. " Persisted In, VIII over.
come Hard Luck.

A very keen politician going abroad
for an extended tour advertised for a
nan to relieve him of the smaller wor-
ries Of travelling. He reduced the ap-
plicants to one, and was about to com-
plete the negotiations when the for
tunate person began to tell him of his
career his ambitions. opportunities
and mlsfortuDes-a genuine hard-luck
story. The politician listened for n
while. and then suddenly interposed:
81 find that / do not want you" and
when pressed for his reason. replied; II
never hire bad-luck people. especially
the kind who talk about It,"
There seems to be an injustice in this,
and there doubtless Is. At the same
time this politician was a Judge of men,
or he would not have been Successful
politician. Most persons who have
achieved success are Obliged to listen
10 bad-luck stories despite their efforts
to avoid them The main reason the
modern merchant or manager protects
himself with a guard OF doorkeepers
and ante-rooms is to escape callers who
want to take up his time by narratives
Of their misfortunes.
Every large center OF population has
It's army of bad-luck sufferers. and
among them are men of education,
men who are almost. but not quite,
strong enough TO reach success. Their
point Of view is out Of compass; their
bearings are wrong; their attitude is
that some one who has succeeded must
make amends for their own shortcom-
ings. These unfortunates are probably
the most hopeless persons In the world
hopeless not SO much In their own
ideas as In the possibilities of their
reformation. When a man places his
own inadequacy on ill-luck he is not
worth anything to anybody-not even
to himself.
Luck is the tide. nothing more. The
strong man rows with It II 1t makes
toward his port He rows against II II
/. flows the other way. Fair or foul.
food or ebb. he rows. And the world
has very little time to waste on the
man who complains that the tide did
not turn at every bend to suit his
oourse.-London Post.

stoppinq Different Vehicles.

The French committee OF automobile
traffic has made series of expert
ment for the purpose Of comparing the
quickness with which horse vehicles
and automobiles can be stopped. At
a speed OF seven and half miles per
hour the horse vehicles can only be
completely stopped at thirty feet. the
motors at ten feet At speed Of ten
miles per hour. one-borse vehicle
stopped at forty feet. the motors at
thirteen and half feet. At a speed
of twelve and half miles per hour
the distance increased to forty-three
and third feet and sixteen and three
quarters feet. respectively.

The Third Mind.

Please do not call me any kind OF

But for the sake of useful common
sense let me tell you something and
ask you II you believe we have a
third mind?
The animal has mind for food
and exercise and pleasure. The hui
man has a mind for study and useful
originality and faith in the unknown.
The person who reaches the goal of
study and owns a forethought that
reaches beyond the eye, the ear and
the reason-has what?
Starting out to call on a man
crossed the street In diagonal way
and unexpectedly met that man in
the middle of the street and attended
to my business with him. A few days
later | met him in his ofiice and we
talked about how I met him by means
OF my diagonal trip. He called 1t an
incident or coincident. Had fol-
lowed the regular street crossing
would have missed him. Did a third
mind prompt me to cross as did and
catch him?
