A rich mar died. There was a big
funeral, with hundreds of spectators
and no mourners. 1t is possible for l
man to so live as to die unregretted.
An acquaintance who knew the hard
nature of the dead man remarked: II
don't suppose he had a friend OH
earth" Then he must have been I'M
happy, and certainly was not rich. The
man who has not at least one good
man friend has been a miser in mat
tiers of sympathy, love and kindness.
He has been miserable, and reaps his
reward in lonesomeness. There Is
something fine and wholesome in this
friendship of men. You have a chum;
of course, you have. Perhaps he is
your neighbor, or your barber, or the
fellow you got acquainted with as you
went to your Office. And you study
him. and he studies you, and you talk
to him about things you would not
whisper to your business asaosiates.
1nere is no caste about this comrade-
ship. He may be above or below you,
socially, but that doesn't count. He Is
your friend by natural selection. Out
Of the association both get strength
and courage and q wider appreciation
of the meaning Of the true brotherhood
of man. Two street cars passed. One
conductor emitted a shrill whistle and
the other smiled broadly and waved
his hand. What did you do that forY'
was asked Of the conductor who whis-
tied. He looked confused and answered
tied. He looked confused and an
swered: "Oh, he's q good Teller. We
always signal when we see each other.
1t don't mean anything, except that he
is glad to see me and I'm glad to see
him. We eat our lunches together,
and he's my kind of a man." There is
the mysterious c~omradeship again. You
pass a score Of acquaintance on the
street with a curt nod, and then wave
your hand and smile cheerily as an
other approaches. Because he's a
good fellow" He fits into your life
and supplies a need that you hardly
realize exists. When Governor Mon
tague, of Virginia, was a candidate
for the place he met a comrade whom
he had not seen for years. The man
was a small country lawyer. What
a l do for you, old boy, when l am
Governor" said the candidate, as he
threw his arm about the shoulders Of
the lawyer. Just what you are DOING
was the answer. "Simply put your
arm around me and call me old boy
There can be nothing more comfort
ing from a friend" The comradeship
of humanity! 1t is almost as deep and
mysterious and holy as is love itself.
A a who has not at least one friend
Is poor indeed, though he counts his
wealth in millions.

A distinguished minister, preaching
on the real or fancied decrease of fam.
lily life in this country, said that there
would be few couples indeed who
would continue to care for each other
after five years Of married life If they
did not have either children or relig-
ion to hold them together. Whether
this statement is true or not is of small
consequence. The important truth that
the minister reached for and missed is
that two married people will inevitably
drift apart unless they have some vital
interest common to them both. There

"OId Gorgon Graham" Advises His
Son About Clothes
From Letters From a Self Made Her
chant to HIS Son." by George
Horace LoY-inler

Dear Pierrepont-That order for a
carload of Spotless Snow Leaf from
old Shorter is the kind of back talk I
like. We can stand little more of the
same sort of sassing. have told the
cashier that you will draw thirty
week after this, and want you to
have a nice suit Of clothes made and
send the bill to the old man. Get some
thing that won't keep people guessing
whether you follow the horses or do
buck and wing dancing for a living.
Your taste in~elothes seems to be last
ing longer than the rest of your col
lege education. You looked like young
widow who had raised the second crop
of daisies over the deceased when you
were in here last week.
OF course clothes don't make the
man, but they make all of him except
his hands and face during business
hours, and that's a pretty considerable
area of the human animal. A dirty
shirt may hide pure heart, but it sell
dom covers a clean skin. If you look
as If you had slept in your clothes,
most people will jump to the conclusion
that you have, and you will never get
to know them well enough to explain
that your head is so full of noble
thoughts that you haven't time to both
er with the dandruff on your shoulders.
And if you wear blue and white striped
pants and a red necktie you will find
it difficult to get close enough to a dea-
con to be invited to say grace at his ia
BILE, even if you never play for any
thing except coffee or beans.
Appearances are deceitful, I know,
but so long as they are there's nothing
like having them deceive for US in
stead Of against us. I've seen a 10
cent shave and a cent shine get a
thousand dollar job and cigarette
and a pint of champagne knock the
bottom out of a million dollar pork
corner. Four or five years ago little
Jim Jackson had the bears in the pro-
vision pit alternating and living on
their own fat till one morning, the day
after he had run the price of mess
pork up to $40 and nailed it there,
some one saw him drinking a small
bottle just before he went on change
and told it around among the brokers
on the floor. The bears thought Jim
must have had bad news to be bracing
up at that time in the morning. So
they perked up and everlastingly sold
the mess pork market down through
the bottom Of the pit to solid earth.
There wasn't even a grease spot left
of that corner when they got through.
AS it happened, Jim hadn't had any
bad news. He just took the drink be-
cause he felt pretty good and things
were coming his way.

ON BEING A
BOSS
If You Sit on High Place, Don't
Gaze at the Clouds
From Letters From q Self Made Mer-
chant to HIS Son." by George
Horace LOTinteT

Consider carefully before you say a
hard word to a man, but never let a
chance to say good one go by. Praise
judiciously bestowed is money invest
ed.
Never learn anything about your
men except from themselves. A good
manager needs no detectives, and the
fellow who can't read human nature
can't manage it. The phonograph rec
ords of a fellows character are lined
in his face, and mans days tell the
secrets of his nights.
Be slow to hire and quick to fire. The
time to discover incompaibility of tenn
per and curl papers is before the mar
rage ceremony. But when you find
that you've hired the wrong man you
can't get rid of him too quick. Pay him
an extra month, but don't let him stay
another day. A discharged clerk in the
Office is like splinter in the thumb-a
center Of soreness.
Never threaten, because a threat is q
promise to pay that it isn't always con-
venient to meet, but If you don't make
It good it hurts your credit. Save a
threat till you're ready to act, and then
you won't need 1t. In all your dealings
remember that today is your opportu-
nifty; tomorrow some other fellows.
Keep close to your men. When a fell
lows sitting on top of a mountain he's
in a mighty dignified and exalted posi-
ton, but if he's gazing at the clouds
he's missing heap Of interesting and
important doings down in the valley.
Never lose your dignity, of course, but
tie it up in all the red tape you can find
around the Office and tuck it away in
the safe.
It's easy for boss to awe his clerks,
but man who is feared to his face is
hated behind his back. competent
boss can move among his men without
having to draw an imaginary line be-
tween them, because they will see the
real one if it exists.
Besides keeping in touch with your
Office men you want to feel your sales
men all the time. Send each of them a
letter every day, so that they won't for
get that we are making goods for
which we need orders, and insist on
their sending you line every day
whether they have anything to say or
not. When fellow has to write in six
times week to the house he uses up
his explanations mighty fast and he's
pretty apt to hustle for business to
make his seventh letter interesting.
Right here 1 want to repeat that in
keeping track of others and their faults
it's very, very important that you
shouldn't lose sight of your own. Au-
thority swells up some fellows so that
they can't see their corns, but a wise
man tries to cure his own while remem-
bering not to tread on his neighbors.

American Fish CuIturist.

The Burlington Free Press Of Jan. II has
the following concerning Mr.. Carriers
magazine which was launched recently:
''The American Fish Culturist'' is the
latest candidate for newspaper-henors in
Vermont, and it enjoys the distinction of
being the only magazine OF it's kind in the
United States, if not in the entire world.
1t is devoted to the interests OF angling,
fish culture and the commercial fisheries,
and as the first number states, it's pri-
mary purpose is to obtain the widest
possible discussion and kno Wedge of fish
propagation. It recognizes that in spite
of the fact that fish culture is for the
angler a process which ensures continu-
arce of good fishing" while for the
commercial fisherman it supplements
natures uncertain methods by what has
come to be practically an exact science,
it is often difficult to make either the
angler or the commercial fisherman rec
ogniZe this truth; and it will conse-
quently seek to help overcome the preiu-
dice against fish propaganda.
The editor and publisher of the Ameri-
can Fish Culturist is Mr.. E. N. Garter,
who succeeded MIR. John w. Titcomb OF
the bureau of fisheries, at present in the
Argentine republic, as superintendent OF
the government fish hatchery in St.
Johnsbury. He is member of the execu-
tive committee of the Vermont Fish and
Game League, and is a sonin-law OF
ex-senator Faulkner of West Virginia.
Editor Carter has provided an excellent
table of contents for his readers, and the
maintenance of the standard established
In the initial number can not fail to
assure the success OF the publication.
There are articles by the Hon. George NJ
Bowers, United States commissioner of
fisheries, by Secretary John D. Whish OF
the New York forest, fish ard game COM
mission, angling talks, edited by DIR.
James A. Hensball and other articles
besides news regarding fishery interests
in Vermont and other states, which will
be of interest to anglers. The magazine,
which is printed at the Californian Office,
is handsomely illustrated; and it is a
work of which any publishing office
might well be proud. The American
Fish Culturist should have circulation
as wide as the country.

Tools of the Ancients.

An investigator who lived during two
years in a tomb at Gizeh collected evil
dence to prove that the tools used in
working stone 1000 years ago had jew
eled cutting edges like modern tools.
He says that the builders of the pyra-
mids used solid and tubular tools,
straight and circular saws and many
other, tools supposed to be modern. In
some specimens Of granite a drill had
sunk one-teIMh of an inch at each rev.
olution, indicating that the pressure
was at least two tons. Nothing is
known of the material of the tools. As
the diamond was scarce then, Il is
probable that Qprundum was used.

Fatal PrecautiOn.-

A farmer in Cumberland county was
driving across a railroad track when
train killed both his horses and
knocked him about ten rods off his
course. In the resulting suit for dam
ages the plaintiff was on the witness
stand, making out a good case, when
the defendants lawyer asked him:
did you take any precaution before
driving upon the track"
The witness seemed reluctant to an
swer, but, being pressed to do so, final
~ stammered out:
"Waal, squire, took a little-just
couple of swalIers, that's all.''
This started a new line of defense,
and it turned out that the couple Of
swallows were the last in a pint flask
that had consoled the honest old farm
er along the road. This put a new face
on the Standardization Journal.
