Troubles Of a Clergyman

A popular clergyman took a hall
dozen letters from his pocket, says
the Boston Post
These are anonymous letters,' he
said. <*They have come to me during

to yachting agent, personal friend,
and told him to get him a yacht. The
agent smiled.
II tell you,'' he said. IF you will
give me the contract, as a matter of
friendship, for repairing and maintain
ing your yacht, I'll get you a steam
yacht less the commission which
would receive
He got the contract. and all that
agent is still perfectly satisfied with
his bargain.
The Aphrodite, $50 tons, burns not
less than forty-fve tons Of coal a day,
and carries a crew of sixty men, the
personnel and pay of which approx
mates the Corsair's in almost every
way. And when one comes to think
of it the impression comes that this
money expended in steam yacht re-
suits in more good to the general pub
lie and causes money to flow through
more hands than any other sport. The
artisans who build the yacht are to
be considered in this regard as well
as the butchers, the wine merchants,
and, in fact, the merchants of an in
finite number of trades who are called
upon to supply food and general stores.
Also, as in each season these great
yachts touch for a greater or less time
at many ports between this city and
Maine, it will readily be grasped that
money is 1avished on trades people
throughout considerable area of the
country.
When it comes to sailing yachts
the expenses are comparatively light
e. but only comparatively so. For
instance it cost $4,000 to $4,000 to
fit out the schooners entered in the
recent race for the Kaiser's cup. The
fact that all this expense was for a
$4,000 mug speaks we'll for the purity
of the sport.
K To build the eighty-five-foot schoon-
er, Colonia scost 100000. The seventy
foot class of schooners now racing, or
about to race, under the colors Of the
New York Athletic club at comm 6
regattas cost no less than $4,000 each
to build, and it has been estimated
that it cost more than $1,000 each
month to keep racing schooner yacht
in commission. The Captain, if he is
a good skipper, receives no less than
5000 of that monthly outlay, and the
sailors are paid $50 month. Canvas
sails for these yachts cost 81 a yard,
and sail spread Of from 1900. to S.,
GOO feet, exclusive Of the Kites (small.
er sai]s), involves no infinitesimal sum
of money. An owner of a fleet schoon-
er yacht recently estimated that bis
sails cost him $500 each season. Her
reshoff charges about $4,000 for a
fast ffty-chefoot sloop 100000 to
build racing seventy-footer), and so
it goes.
In short, if you do not know what to
do with your money, go in for yacht
ing; buy steam yacht, or racing
s]oop from fifty to seventy feet long,
or a seventyfoot schooner. If you do
this there will be no more difficulty or
care in getting rid of all that patri-
mony that bothers you-and more, too.

An explorer in northern Australia
thus describes his vain efforts to
make friends with some wild natives
who ran away from him: We had
hardly begun to move from cover
when we saw several dusky figures
running across the salt marsh into
the mangroves. We started in pur.
suit at a run, but when we reached
the camp we found it, as we expected,
deserted. The fire was still burning
and the haste in which the black fel-
lows had left their camp was evidenc-
ed by the fact that they had forgotten
to take with them what must have
been the largest part of their wea-
pons. Boomerangs, spears, throwing
sticks. mulahs, shields, and remnants
of a half-consumed meal of roasted
baobab nuts were lying about the
place. We followed the retreating
savages into the mangroves.
I'VE traced the diverging footmarks
through the dense, dark, eerie, smell
ing inferno with the instinct of sleuth-
hounds. Nothing will ever obliterate
from my memory the impressions
that hunt made on my mind. The

Woman an Apple Grower.

Considering the affiliation that has
existed between women and apples
from the first, it is not as surprising
as her friends seem to think that Mrs.
Thomas Shaw Safe should have Sc

says the New York Press. The Safes
new country place upstate affords fine
opportunity for arbor culture, and be-
sides her apples she is planning to
grow other fruits. AS Mr. Safe is in
terested, in saiab and cattle raising,
there is likely to be much good
natured rivalry between them. What
products they Iare unable to consume
or bestow upon their friends they will
send to market. It seems to be "the
correct thing to sell since England
aristocrats have gone into it. But
many of these persons needed the
money; the Safes are in no such
plight as that.

fecepts Boys Should Study

Ffom a place at the cobbler's bench
at almere pittance, William L. Douglas
hasSrisen to the high est executive po;
sition in the State of Massachusetts,
that of Governor. and has made him
selfa millionaire.
Els rules and precepts of success
were given recently by him through
the Boston Sunday American. They
are$rules that he has tried and tested,
the rules which have elevated him to
the highest position: in the gift of the
state, the rules which have won for
him an enormous fortune.
The Governor is interested in boys.
He declares that these rules are given
for8the benefit of boys. Here they
are:
What, are the secrets of success? :?
Will l tell the boys of Massachusetts,
what I think they are? Recently in
talking to a delegation of bright-faced
boys, I told them that they should, in
order to make the most of life, obey
the old maxim, "stick to your last"
Everything in nature is fitted to do
oneS thing we'll and spends it's whole
life doing it. You never hear of the
ant going into the honey-making busi-
ness, nor of the bee building ant-hills
for "a change. Each one knows it's
place in the world and sticks to it.,
and that is what boys must do if they
would accomplish great things.
And remember always to keep your
ambition up TO the top notch. What
ever you do, try to do it better than
the other fellow. At school make it a
point to stand at the head of your
class, and at play don't be satisfied
until you can jump the farthest or
throw the straightest. Then when you

enter business life this matter of get
ting ahead will become a habit.
Now l want to give you another
thing to think about while you're grow
ing up and preparing to win fame and
fortune in the commercial world. It
is this: Don't try to do what you like
do what you can. That's a good
companion-piece for "stick to your
last" Don't let the attraction of some
thing you don't know lure you away
from the thing you do know. Once
upon time young man whose faith
er made pickles, and who had learned
the pickle business from A to z, de-
cided that he'd like to go into the
business of making :molasses candy.
He didn't know anything about it, but
he liked molasses candy and thought
it would be great fun to make it and
sell it. So he proceeded to try his
hand at the business. The result was
disastrous. His candy wasn't good
candy, because he didn't know how to
make it properly, and, therefore, no.
body wanted to buy. Finally he went
back to the pickle, business and made
a fortune, because he certainly did
know how to make good pickles, and
everybody bought them.
Do what you can and stick to it..
That's wisdom. About the most strik-
ing sentence I remember is this one,
written by the great philosopher,
Thomas Carlyle: "The king is the man
who can" There's whole volume of
sound sense contained in those seven
one-syllable words. All the elements
of success are there set forth and the
whole secret of greatness sticks out
conspicuously from that simple SEN
terce-"The king is the man who can. -

chap.
, Som etimes, in these letters, ethical
questions are prcpounded that stump
me. A sailor, for instance, once wrote
something like this: Two years ago,
before F got religion, I married a
sweet young girl, and we now have
two beautiful children. l am big.

Malay girl in Port Said. She was a
bad one, drunk all the time, and one

Since I got religion l have tried to
look her up, but she disappeared from
Port Said five years ago, the same day
a traveller was robbed Of silver
watch and bag of gold. Now, want
to do the right thing Ought I to
leave my present wife and try to find
and reform the other one. Ought I to
confess to my present wife?'
II told this sailor he had sinned,
but, under the circumstances, he had
best keep quiet and say nothing unless
his first wife turned up again.
"Thieves, murderers, bigamists:

comfort. 1t is amazing how miserable
all these undiscovered and unpun-

how wretched a thing sin is.''
