BEING A "6ooD FELLOW.
Sound Advice Given Out Which May
Nell Be Heeded.

Any sensible young man ought to know
that he can't be up late nights abusing
his stomach and be in full possession of
his faculties for busiress the next day.
And he ought to know, also, that a man
must be clear-headed and in full possess
sion of his faculties to hold his own in
the keen competition of life. Your
good fellow is popular for the time be-
ing, but when his money is gone and he
has lost his job and is OH his "uppers"
the"good fellow business doesen't get
him anything. It's poor fellow" then.
Another good man gone wrong, and 1.-The
boys" are ready to hail another good
fellow who has the price.
We don't mean by this to say that
"the boys" are mercenary. They don't
altogether pass up good fellow
when he goes broke, but it isn't the
same. They say he hit the booze too
hard and couldn't stand the pace. They
feel sorry for him, but he is out of it..
His good fellowship doesn't excuse him
even in the eyes of his friends, for hav-
ing thrown away his opportunity.
The young man who gets the sleep his
system needs, is temperate in his habits
lives within his means, and shows up for
work in the morning with clear eye
and active brain-thats the man bust
ness men are looking for. They want
employees whom they can trust. Hav-
ing worked hard and laid by a compe-
tence they want to throw some of the
burdens off and they won't throw them
off, on the employee who is too much of
a "good fellow
Cut it out, boys. There's nothing
in it. There's a whole lot of non
sense in the good fellow" business
You can't fool the public very long by
living beyond your means and keeping
up appearances. There must be show
down some time or other, and that
means a loss of self-respect and many
bitter experiences. All men will think
more of you if you hold yourself in and
4 don't try to live a wine existence or
a beer income.
Many bright and promising bust
ness man has failed because he tried tx
travel in too swift a class whereas
had he lived within his means, he nigh
have become a successful merchant.
/ The world doesn't give up it's treas
ures easily. 1t isn't in the cards for al
Of us to be millionaires, mighty few o
the "good fellows" get into this class
It's better to earn your way first, AM
go hunting for good times when yo1
have reached that point where you cal
spare both the time and money. Their
possibly you'll have more sense AM
have different notion about what
good time is.-Cully Abendette in Who

which says when woman sinks into
the depths of crime she sinks lower
than man can sink. 1t is not true
only apparently. Woman falls from
loftier height, that is all. Go to the
slums and find the lowest woman
creature. You need not search long
to find man lower down.
1t is also true that the older school
of fiction was forever teaching the
doctrine that in every crime there was
"a woman at the bottom of it." The
newer school is beginning to see the
truer doctrine-that woman is at the
bottom of nearly all the good there is
in the world.
Woman is the better half.
Fancy what society would be without
her. Remove the might of her gentle
ness. Masculine force would clash
with masculine force. The stone age
would be restored.

ness. 1t is her chief virtue. The sexes
thus supplement each other. Take
either away and humanity is lost
Together they made man what he is.
1t is not good for man to live alone
Alone he is selfish, domineering, unjust
He needs the refining forces Of woman's
gentleness. All through the centuries
woman has wrought upon him-and her

The only reason while the hateful
law of the survival of the fittest does
not rule our civilization is-woman!

WINE Of cARDUL
Attention
Farmers

Why remain in the North
and stay in doors six months in
the year consuming what you
raise during the other six
months?
Go South where you can
work out doors every month
in the year, and where you
are producing something the
year round. If you are
stock raiser you know your
stock are now "eating their
heads off" and, besides, have
to be protected from the rigors
Of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stock feeding
requires the combination of
both flesh-forming and fat
forming foods in certain pro-
portions. Alabama and Florida
produce in abundance the vel
vet bean and cassava, the first a
flesh producer, the latter a fat
producer, and they are the
cheapest and best fattening
material known to the world.
More money can be made
and with less labor, in gem
eral farming, fruit and berry
growing and truck gardening
along our road in the South
than in any other section Of
the Union.

DuN's TRADE REVIEW.

New York, April 15.-R. c. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 Tardy spring weather following an un- usually severe winter makes 1t difficult to restore satisfactory trade conditions, but 1t is encouraging to find at many points this unreasonable weather the only cause Of complaint and there is always hope that the early losses may be made up, at least in large measure, when con ditions become normal. In the meantime sales of dry goods are restricted and stocks in all positions, from producer to consumer, are larger than Is desirable. Aside from the Cotton States where bus mess is brisk the weeks dispatches indi- cate that early gains were maintained but little further progress occurred. Lat hor controversies are still an adverse factor. Railway earnings in the first week of April were 70 per cent smaller than. last year. No definite che9k 10 progress in the iron and steel industry is discerned, although 1t lacks uniformity. cry is concerned, bar iron and steel are most prominent, makers of agricultural implements being importunate. Not only is it difficult to secure delivery of bars but shipments four weeks hence are con- sidered prompt and somo orders run up to the end of the year.
 Floods at the West have made 1t im- possible to begin much proposed struc- tural work and aside from supplies for repairs the railways are still operating on a moderate scale. The ore situation remains unsettled. Firmness and activ- ity continued in the Chicago packer hide market and foreign dry hides are held steady by the prompt absorption of arri- vals. Although quotations are unchanged in the leather market some improvement is noted. In textile manufacturing there is no improvement. The recent upward tendency of cotton goods has given place to market distinctly favoring purchas- CTS. This is usually dull season In mems wear, woolens and worsted, and the past week has proved no exception.
 Failures this week number 225 in the United States against PIP last year and Is in Canada compared with le year ago.

belt have affected business or retarded spring planting. Foreign trade returns have seemed to favor the manufaeturing rather than the agricultural interests. Most measures of trade point to smaller volume of business than a year ago but 1t is to be noted that while a slight de- earnings for March, the first quarter 8 earnings will fall little behind a year ago.
 The industrial situation has not been entirely favorable. Iron and steel, coal. coke, lumber and naval stores interests note either increased activity in produc- tion and consumption or improved dem nd from various sources but the cotton goods industry is curtailing production stead fly; there is less activity in shoe nianu- featuring and the building and her in- dustries are marred by labor troubles. The woolen goods demand is not up to expectations. but the paper trade which was hurt by low water and difficulty in obtaining supplies during the winter is now experiencing a good business The strength of large number of staples. such as, leather, Is a noticeable feature. While spring trade has been disappointing in many lines the number of market re- porting good orders booked for future de- livery Is large. Collections show little or no improvement. Iron Is rather quieter this week, less eagerness to obtain SUD- plies of pig being noted at several mar kets. The iron ore price situation has not definitely been arranged. Figures of consumption showed marked increases in output in the past two months with, how ever. no accumulation of stocks. Fin ished products are in good demand but manufacturers are buying merely to i'll requirements. Some heavy transactions in cars are expected.
