ADVICE TO THE sHIFTLEsS
Hard Sense, If Persisted In, Will Over come Hard Luck--Don't Tell
 Your Troubles. A

A very keen politician going abroad for an extended tour 'ad- vertised for a man to relieve him of the smaller worries of travel ing, says the London Post. He re- duced the applicants to one, and was about to complete the nego- tiaticns when the fortunate per. son began to tell him of his ca. reer, his ambitions, opportunities and misfortunes-a genuine hard
 luck story. Thepolitician listened for awhile,and then suddenly in. terposed: q find that l do not want you," and when pressed for his reason, added: q never hire bad:luck people, especially the kind, who talk about it." !
 There seems to be an injustice la this, and there doubtless is. At the same time this politician was a. judge of men, or he would not have been a successful politi. clan. Most persons who have achieved success are obliged to lis- ten 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 nar- ratives of their misfortunes.
 91 Every large center of popula. tion has its army of bad-luck sui ferers, 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 bear. ings are wrong; their attitude is that some one who has succeeded must make amends for their own shortcomings. These unfortun. ates are probably the most hope less persons in the world-hope- less 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 evensto himself .as
 Luck is the tide, nothing more. The strong man rows with it if it makes toward his port. He rows against lit if it flows the. other way. Fair or foul, flood or'ebb, he rows. And the world has very lit- tie time to waste on the man who complains that the tide did not turn at every bend to suit his course. F4!4l- 3S

"My walters get very few tips," said a, downtown restaurant man, land don't have to print notices to my customers that they are not expected to tip the waiter. It is really very simple and within the power of a restaurant manager to stop the custom if he wants to do so," says the New York Times.
 "You see, when customer tips . waiter regularly he expects to get extra service or to- have his check scaled down, and the res. taurantis is beaten by the game. In other words, the tipping of wait CTS took money out of my pocket.
 q said nothing, but kept my eyes open for a few days, and l saw that it was in handing the check to the customer that the walters got their tips. When they were doubtful~of a man they actually made him ask for his check. That observation made it simple.

St. Louis, Oct. 7.-One eof the boldest robberies ever perpe- trated in St. Louis occurred. shortly after o'clock this morn. ing, when a fashionably dressed man entered the apartments of A. B. Gaines, one of the owners of the Arlington and Eastman hotels at Hotss Springs, and of. the Jefferson hotel, St. Louis, on the fourth floor of thellatter1hos- telry, and succeeded in escaping with seven diamond rings be- longing to Mrs. Gaines and 9 handsome gold watch, the prop erty of MT. Gaines,. all valued at $3, ,OO0. '7 '.lla ' saGaaoi | Both MT. and Mrs. Gaines were asleep when the thief en- tered the room, through the hall door, which had been left un-. locked by Mrs. Gaines ten min- utes before when~she summoned a bellboy with ice water. Mrs. Gaines, who had just dozed to sleep when the thief entered, was awakened by his movements about the room. MT. Gaines slept soundly in the next room. Mir. and Mrs. Gaines oldest son Twas also sleeping.
 What are doing in this room?'~ Mrs. Gaines asked the thief, as, she partly rose from her bed. He was close to the bureau drawer. where a tray containing the. diamonds and watch lay.
 Mrs. Gaines unexpected query did not startle him. but he partly turned his head,.-9:not enough, however, to permitFMrs. Gainesto see his face, and, in Surprised tone, said: That's all right, madam.
 Mss.,mGaines was now fully awake, but instead of calling her husband, who continued to sleep sounaly, $she again asked the thief what he meant. She says she thought he might have been | an attache of the hotel, who had slipped in through a window, or a guest who had entered the wrong room. .da1g.} r
