DON'T PARADE HARD LUCK.


Hard Sense, If Persisted In, Will Over
come Hard Luck.
A very keen politician going abroad
for an extended tour advertised for
ran 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 misfortunes-a genuine hard-luck
story. The politician listened for a
while, and then suddenly interposed:
Il find that l do not want you" and
when pressed for his reason. replied: Il
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 came
time this politician was judge of men,
or he would not have been successful
politician. Most persons who have
achieved success are obliged to listen
to 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.

Its 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-
tnEs. 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 If it makes

Stopping Different Vehicles.

The French committee of automobile
tramc has made series of expert
ment for the purpose of comparing the
qu1ckness with which horse vehicles
and automobiles can be stopped. At
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, a one-horse 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.

EVENTS In WASHINGTON AND
TRANSACTIONS OF CONGRESS
President Congratulate. Payne.

The President sent the following
letter to Postmaster General Payne:
White House, Feb 81, 1904.
my Dear Postmaster General
While all the work of the Postofiice
Department and the Department OF
Justice in connection with the postal
frauds Is not yet over, there is al.
ready to the credit of the depart
ments, and therefore primarily to your
credit, such an amount of substantial
achievement, that ! take this oppor-
tunity to congratulate you personally
upon it. 1t is impossible to expect
that corruption will not occasionally
occur in any government, the vital
point is the energy, the earnestness
and the efficiency with which such
corruption is cut out and the corrup-
ton is thus punished. The success Of
the prosecution in this case as COM
pared with previous experiences in
prosecuting government officials who
have been guilty of malfeasance or
misfeasance Is as noteworthy as it is
gratifying, and must be source of
encouragement to all men who believe
in decency and honesty in public life
What has been accomplished by you,
by those who have worked under you
in your department, and by the De-
partment of Justice, rebounds to the
credit Of our whole people and is a
signal of triumph for the cause of pop
ular government. If corruption goes
unpublished in popular government,
then government by the people will
ultimately fail, and they are the best
friends of the people who make it evil
dent and whoever in public office, or in
connection with public office, sins
against the fundamental laws of civic
and social well-being, will be pun
ished with unsparing vigor.
Sincerely yours.

Hon. H. c. Payne, Postmaster Cen

New Cure for Dyspepsia.

The latest in the line of reliable
cures" is remedy for dyspepsia.
This cure consists of walking about
on all fours twenty minutes at time,
and four times day. There couldn't
be a remedy simpler than that, and
then 1t is one that everybody always
has in the house-though it has been
suggested that patients should not
take 1t In public. 1t is perfectly inno-
cent and harmless, but still people will
taik, you know. The theory seems to
be that the man who walks like a
bear will soon develop an appetite and
digestive apparatus like bear-and
that's just as sound as many other
heories.-Albuquerq Journal,
