NOT ALWAYS WAY TO SUCCESS
Millionaire Lawson Does Not Pin His
Faith to Economy.

FaiIh TO economy.
Thomas W. Lawson, the Boston mil
liOnaire. believes that it is rather
through enterprise and originality
than through economy that financial
success may be attained.
The time is past, he said the other
day, for such economy as used to be
practiced by an old Boston restaura-
teur who recently died.
This old fellow was economical to
excess, but while he pOttered about
his kitchen. trying 10 make one egg do
the work Of two. his neighbor across
the way was introducing a roof gar
den and a mandolin orchestra, and the
economist, I understand, hardly left
enough on his demise to pay his debts.
He was, beyond doubt, an ecOno-
mist. A couple Of plumbers were
working one day in his cellar. It was
too dark down there to see, and the
men asked for some light.
Well said the old fellow, here's
a candle. Make It go as far as you
can
"'One candle won't do said the
plumbers. 1t won't give us sufficient
light We must have two

ing down there?' he said.
About fifteen minutes said the
plumbers.
Then said the restaurateur, cut
the candle in two Boston Post.

Their ProhahIe Fate.

It is told Of an eccentric and elo-
Quent Scottish divine that he once
met a couple Of his parishioners at the
house Of a lawyer notorious for his
sharp practice, and OF whose honesty
the minister had no great opinion.
Said the lawyer. jOculsrly but IN
graciously. Doctor, these are mem
bers of your flock. May I ask do you

doctor, drily. whether they are black
or white sheep, but I do know that If

The whole Roosevelt AdministTa-
ton seems saturated with the idea
that a ship subsidy bill must be forced
through Congress The latest high Of
fetal TO attempt to coerce Congress
is Robert B. Armstrong, assistant
secretary Of the treasury. While
Secretary Shaw and others Of the Cab
met have yelled their desire for this
robbery Of the people for the ship
trust. they are quite as strongly for
a ship subsidy or their under strap
pers would not be declaring for it.
The occasion taken by Mr.. Armstrong
to inOculate others with this RepUb-
lican policy Of subsidy was the nation
al convention Of the American Insti-
tute OF Bank Clerks. held at St Louis,
August 25. He declared that the up
building of the Merchant Marine was
worthy OF the best thought and activ-
ity Of his hearers and further said:
Just why some of the American
people objected to government assist
ance in supplying American rolling
stock for a highway Of commerce that
has been in existence since creation,
am unable to understand.
They had not objected seriously
or successfully against government aid
to the transcOntinental railroads. and
he asked why they should protest
when it is suggested that the govern
ment help place upon he bosom of
the sea ships that fly the American
flag"
