The Lost Ruo.

A man decided to take his furni-
ture out of the storage warehouse and
keep house again. The day he did it
such snow storm came up that he
is sure 1t cost him twice as much to
move as 1t would had the weather
been reasonable. Now this man likes
rugs and the extra expense he was
put to on account of the weather
would have bought rug. He blames
that snow storm rugs worth and to
him that is a good deal. He feels
ugly. In his mind the price of a rug
in a rug is great deal bigger than
the price of a rug In the bank. You
and | are that way on some things. II
were to lose the price of fine
blank book l would think less about
1t than If 1t were a fine blank book or
II | thought of the money in fine
blank book.
The poor people do not know money
as money. We do not respect It as
stored up energy. To love il and dis.
respect 1t are both errors. We SHOULD
learn how to look at II in an intelli-
gent manner, but while our personal
wants exceed our financial ability we
will think of money In some desired
object.
While talking with a furniture deal
or in Buffalo saw him shock himself
by thinking what the money he had
spent during the year for certain
object would mean if represented by
furniture. Can you see value whether
in money, old iron or diamonds? II
may be dangerous for us to look at
money through some special object

Profit in loss Is worth
watching as it may
We a Valua bic
thought mine.

The first of the year many book
keepers are studying on profit and
loss, but all of us all the year can de-
vote time to profit in loss.
A passenger missed train and in
waiting for the next train lost SO
much time he decided to try to re-
gain some of it by branch car to
save half-mile walk.
The next train came and he board
ed 1t. When the branch car station
was reached he left the train for the
car just in time to see the car go
without him.
This made him lose time, money.
and gave him chance to lose his
head. In place of the latter he opened
mis- eyes to see how he could learn
something worthy of the trouble.
Had he lost his head he might not
have observed an old acquaintance
standing few yards away waiting
for car on a third line He went
over, shook hands and secured useful
information.
Had he lost his head he might not
Lave noticed the bright little girl on
the branch car that finally came and
carried him to his appointment late.
But he did notice the little girl on
account of her executive ability. She
was with her mother and brother ar
two sisters and she managed the
crowd. She found her mother a va
NJ arfl -
the car to it. This little Miss Execu-
tive attracted attention so that
man gave his seat to her larger sister
and lady moved enough to permit
her to sit on the edge of the seat by
her and remarked that she was the
conductor of the car. She was the
conductor of the family and as happy
as lark in doing so. When near
their destination she saw a young
man by a house watching for them
and notified her family that Jim was
there by the back door. Jim went in,
as soon as they began getting off the
car, IL may be to notify the kitchen
to dish up the New Years feast. Miss
Executive was running through the
front gate as the family reached the
sidewalk from the car three rods
away.
The passenger who saw this as
compensation for lost time and money
reached his place late, but the other
person in the appointment was later
and all ended well. We all hope Miss
Executive did not eat too much din
ner but such active people are not
likely to.

She Got Up.

The elevated car was full of men
and women when an old man in plain
clothes came in and stood up with
his hand in the strap.
A woman with cheeks too fleshy
and red TO appeal to an artist was
near the old man who was standing.
Before any of the men could or did
offer him their seats, she got up, mo-
toned to him, and he sat down.
Her face was too highly colored.
but she gave the old man a chance
to SIT down. Her hands were not very
graceful in proportions, but she gave
the old man a seat.
She could have learned much of the
better dressed men and women sit
ting near her, but she gave all OF them
a good sermon when she gave the old
man seat.
some OF thoFe near her knew the
latest hint from Paris, but she gave
them a later hint from the heart when
She gave the old man a seat.
IF her life here is not heightened
by her letting the old man sit down
NAV her Joys in the next world be In
creased by II.

Finish what you are
at before you let it get
away from you.

A publisher of weekly religious
newspaper told me that one of the
most useful habits he had formed is
To finish what you are at while you
are at Incomplete it while 1t is up,
If possible, so that it will be forever
done
A general manager recently told me
that he was helped by the way an
EXPRESS agent-station agenttelegraph
operator at a little town held his
three positions after the town got
boom and grew into a big business
center. This agent was the only one
in the boom territory towns that held
his Job.
The way he did 1t was to keep cool
and never let a letter or order out of
his hand until attended to. Some peo'
pie do their best when they have to
crowd hours into minutes and some
others do their worst, as in one case
an order filler was a reliable worker
OH two hundred orders a day, but
when he tried to do three hundred or
ders a day he went to pieces and
fumbed
In some kinds of work when orders
are slow or business is dull, poor work
is done Only when things are
hustlng is the work done as it should
he. Exercises will help both condi-
lions. Poor work during dull spells
is due to a lack of mental exercises,
and poor work during rush times is
due to low vitality and should be
overcome by physical exercises.
The manager who told me about the
station agent also told me about his
own work, which frequently came to
him in way to prevent closing up a
subject willie he had it up, and he
claimed that he was irritable on ac-
count of It.
Resourcefulness, which enables one
to influence for better methods the
beginners of poor methods, is in de-
mand, and obtainable. Irritation is a
signal to be up and doing something
to counteract 1t.
There are liquid colors which are

dividuhlities which will benefit all
who are in any way connected with

EmpIoye VS.. Seller.

Here is a gain have made during
the first week OF 1904.
In place of using the word employee
I am using the word seller.
Buyer and seller mean employer,
employee and customer.
The words employer and employe
do not wear well with me.
The socalled employer is a buyer
and the so-called employee is seller
of time, strength, skill, information.
The one who does the work sells
just the same as the one who has the
work done sells after it is done.
So my new statement is that my
Arcade Index library is a central bu
reau for the collection, exchange AND
promotion of information personally
useful to the individual, either buyer
or seller, in mechanical, commercial
and professional lines.
The subjects are food, clothing
recreation. reliable health, accuracy
forethought, useful originality and
agreeable disagreeing. The object OF
my plan is to reduce mutually ex
pensive blunders, mistakes, errors
and accidents.
The information has been and Il
being gathered by means of investiga
tions. experiments, researches, con
LESSONS, interviews, observations, ex
periences and original study 1t is TO
you personally.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in Watch Cases.

According to an article in the Cincinnati
Commercial, a fifty-one pound stone was
recently found in that city secreted in
bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding lump of
lead OF nearly one-half the weight of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the CEN
ter of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight,
and no one can see where this lead is Sc
GREETED until the springs of the case are
taken out and the lead will be found So
GREETED behind them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
TO the dishonest to rob the public. u is
not pleasant for anyone TO find that he has
lugged a lump of lead in his watch case.
Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is 10 stamp the case
gu. S. Assay" The United States does
not stamp any article made out of gold
and silver except coin, and the fakir, by
using this stamp, wants to make the public
believe that the government had something
to do with the stamping or guaranteeing
the fineness of watch cases.
Another trick of the watch fakr Is to
advertise q watch described as a solid gold
filled watch with twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gem
orally sent @. o. d., and IL the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds that the
Company which guaranteed the watch to
wear is not In existence.
The Dueber- Hampden Watch Company
OF Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the
names of the manufacturers who are in
this questionable business.
