HOW TO WIN SUCCESS.
Governor Douglas of Massachusetts,
Gives Advice to Boys.

Governor Douglas of Massachusetts
Gives Advice to Boys.
From a place at the cobbler's bench
at a mere pittance, William L. Douglas
has risen to the highest executive po-
sition in the State Of Massac husetts,
that Of Governor, and has made him
self millionaire. His rules and pre-
cepts Of success are given by him
through the Boston Sunday American.
The Governor is interested in boys
and declares that these rules are given
for the benefit of boys. The Governor
says:
Recently, In talking to a delegation of
bright-faced boys, l told them that they
should. in order to make the most of life,
obey the old maxim, "Stick to your last"
Ii you don't you'll find that old ogre,
called trouble, bobbing up in your path
way every now and then, and you'll
never get to be on speaking terms with
success. Fortune, you know, favors the
brave. In the battle of life the really
brave man is the one with courage
enough to stick to his last'' in the face
He's the fellow who will eventually be
able to laugh at trouble and to get chum-
my with success. What would you think
of shoemaker who, after making part
of shoe on one last, became dissatis-
fed and started another shoe on a diff
ferent last, keeping up this method until
he had finally spent all his money for
stock and had nothing but lot of half
finished shoes to show for it. Foolish
way to do isn't it? But it's no more
foolish than for young man to tackle
a new line of business every little while
until he grows too old to learn any bust
ness thoroughly.
Everything in nature is fitted to do one
thing we'll and spends its whole life do
ing it. You never hear of the ant going
into the honey-making business; nor of
the bee building ant hills for a change.
Each one knows its place in the world
and sticks to it. and that is what boys
must do if they would accomplish great
things. Nearly every boy at an early
age displays an aptitude for something,
and if that aptitude is properly devel-
oped the process of selecting a last is
simplifed. And remember always to
keep your ambition up to the top notch
Whatever you do, try to do it better
than the other fellow. At school make
it 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 bust
ness life this matter of getting ahead
will become a habit
Now another thing to think about is
this: Don't try to do what you like-do
what you can. That's a good compan-
ion piece for "stick to your last" Don't
let the attraction of something you don't
know lure you away from the thing you
do. Do what you can and stick to it.
That's wisdom.

Lurking Danger.

A farmer who was much troubled by
trespassers during the nutting season
consulted with a botanical friend. The
botanist furnished him with the tech
meal name Of the hazel, and the farm
er placed the following notice at con-
spicuous points about his premises:
Trespassers take warning! All per-
sons entering this wood do so at their
own risk, for although common snakes
are not often found, the Corylus Avel-
lana abounds everywhere about here,
and never gives warning Of it's pres
ence.
The place was unmolested that year,
and the farmer gathered his crop in

Marketing Potato Crops.

In line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers, cited by Presiden+
Hadley Of Yale University in his DO
on -Railroa1 Transportation, Is the
of the Aroostook potato grow,T
brought by President Tuttle of the
Boston and Maine railroad before the
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest Of the
localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers OF
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to ten
million bushels, which find market
largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions Of New England.
The competition Of cheap water trans
portation from Maine to ali points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these potatoes
always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put Of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought a tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
AT normal rates and prices there would
have been glut of the customary mar
kets and the potatoes would have rotted
ON the farms. To help the potato grow
ers the railroads from Michigan made
unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes
to every reachable market, even carry
ing them in large quantities to place
so remote as Boston. The AroostoOk
growers had to reduce the price on
their potatoes and even then could not
dispose of them unless the Boston and
Maine railroad reduced it's already low
rate. which it did. By means of these
low rates. making possible low prices,
the potato crops Of both Michigan and
Maine were finally marketed. Every
body eats potatoes, and that year ev-
erybody had all the potatoes he
wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement Of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine railroad suffered a
decrease in it's revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making of
rates were subject to governmental adj
iustment such radical and prompt ac-
ton could never have been taken, be-
cause it is we'll established that If
rate be once reduced by railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape Of governmental proceed
ure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
tation they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot.-EXchange.

Cattlesflp Etiquette.

Our foreman was a big, sharp-eyed,
uick-tempered, but generally good-na-
tured man. On previous trip he had
sent an awkward young chap forward
for a pitchfork. The boy fell overheard
and was drowned before the vessel
could be stopped. The foreman swore
for three days because he had taken
the pitchfork with him. Another story
was told of a dispute with 'stiff'' be-
cause he could not work, being terribly
sick. The foreman kicked him with
such force that two ribs were broken.
Naturally, with such reputation, the
cattlemen obeyed him promptly.-Na-

more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases Of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
Ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con.
fdence of women, and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done so with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs Fred Seydel. of 412 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Over year ago wrote you letter asking
advice, as | had female ills and could not
carry child to maturity. / received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. l am not only we'll woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl. I
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done SO
much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form Of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable CompNlnd. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
tute which druggist may offer.
If you are sick, write Mrs Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass for special advice. 1t is
free and always helpful.

track officials, with only a few officers
at work, and these in the above capaci-
ties rather than in their official capacity
as officers, served to develop the few
at the expense of the many, or to the
neglect of the many.
Developed Star Men.
Under this system, the excellence of
a company was judged, not by the gen
the number Of points 1t could secure in
a competition, - for which the post
exchange furnished prizes. Consequent
ly, the rivalry was rather to secure a
few star men, who could secure the
points and the prizes, than to reach the
inferior men, who most needed the
development :.
In the Twentyeighth infantry this
has been felt to be false system. It
has been realized that the true principle
is to make athletics military duty, to
organization. It is general excellence,
not a few athletes, that is desired. Con-
sequently it has been felt that instead
of few officers, acting under h'on-mll-
itary titles, such as superintendent
and "judge,O the instruction ought to
be conducted by all the officers, in their
official capacities, and that all officers
should be qualified to act as instructors.
This order places athletics in Fort
Smelling on basis of straight military
duty It is abreast Of the very latest
military sentiment on the subject, and
what with strenuous target practice,
strenuous field maneuvers and instruc-
ton, and the strenuous athletic irstruc-
tion for the coming winter, it is thought
that the military instruction Of Fort
Smelling ought to be up to the very
best in the army anywhere.

FREE MEDICAL BUREAU
Salvation Army 'nausurates New Depart
g. w.. :. nnent Of Relief Work

oaValion Amy 'Hau9uIa teS NC" DSpaie-
ment Of Relief Work.
The Salvation Army has installed free
medical bureau in connection with it's
relief work Drs. Emily W.. Fifeld and
Ada E. Talbot will give one hour Of their
time each day and will occupy an Office
in the headquarters building on Bridge
square from 4:3O to $3.50 each afternoon.
Their work will be chiefly among the
women and children who appeal to the
Army for assistance and will be supple
mentary to the regular relief work In
addition to these two, who have given a
fixed amount of their time, there are
several physicians who have placed them
selves at the service of the Army and will
respond to any calls made upon them.
Brigadier Cousins hopes to establish
we'll equipped office and consultation
room in the headquarters building and IS
confident that with the assistance Of the
physicians and pharmacists of the city, he
will soon be equipped to deal with all
ordinary cases which may come to the
relief department. All attendance and
advice will be absolutely free and medi-
cines will also be furnished those who
cannot purchase them.
The need Of such a department has long
been felt by Captain Miller, who has
charge Of the relief work, and it is at his
Recommendation that the brigadier has
undertaken to establish this office.

CHARITY SEEKERS
COME IN HORDES
STATE FREE EMPLOYMENT BU-
REAU ATTRACTS WEAK ONES. -
Host of Persons Who Are Always
Ready to Ask Aid from Various
Charitable Organizations Forsake
Smaller Towns for Superior Oppor-
tunities of Minneapois-Rush of
Applications.

While the state free employment bu-
reau established in Minneapolis last
June has been great convenience to
the employers of labor, and to the labor
inb men themselves, it may not prove a
blessing during the winter. The estab-
ishment of the bureau has brought to
the city many persons who will prob
ably call for public assistance to help
them in tiding over the winter. This
has been disclosed by the officers of
the city poor department and the Asso-
ciated Charities in looking for an ex-
PLANTATION Of the unusually large number
of calls for aid at this season of the
year.
With a prosperous year and unusual
activity in the building and industrial
trades there has been plenty of work
at good wages for anyone able and will
ing to labor. The weather has not been
severe, and for time the charitable
organizations were at loss to account
for the rush of applications. A little
investigation soon revealed the cause.
The employment bureau has brought
to the city class which is more or less
dependent on the public, the familiar
"ne 'er-do-well,' the crippled and
manned, who can do only certain kinds
of work, and those afflicted with
chronic diseases, who are able to work
only enthusiastically. Word has gone
out all over the northwest that the
state provides work for everybody
without expense.
No other inducement is necessary for
