THE RICH MANS LOT

Our good friend, with mill
ion dollars year, cannot eat
much more or better food, or
drink much more or better drinks
than we can. If he does he will
be sorry. He can have more
places to live in, and enormously
and handsomer apparatus of liv-
ing, but he can't live in more than
one place at once, and too much
apparatus ie a bother. He can
make himself comfortable and
healthful, So can we. lie can
have all the leisure he wants, can
60 where he likes and stay as
long as he will. He has the bet
ter of us there. We have the
better of him in having the daily
excitement and discipline of max
ing a living. 1t is a great game
the game of making a living
full of chances and hazards,
hopes, surprises, thrills, disap-
pointments and satisfactions. Our
million-a-year friend misses that
We may beat him in discipline,
too. We are apt to get more than
does-the salutary discipline OF
steady work, of self-denial, of eff.
fort. That is enormously valu-
able to soul, body and mind. He
can't buy it. We get it thrown
in with our daily bread. We are
as likely to marry to our taste
and live happily in the domesti-
Gated state as he is. We have
rather better chances than he is
of raising our children well. VIZ
are as likely as he to have good
friends worth having, and to find
pleasure in them.

When Elias Howe invented the
sewing maonine, he nearly worried
himself to death, beside spending
every scrap of money he had or
could get, before completing his
discovery by finding the proper To-
cation for the eye of the needle. 1t
never occurred to him that it could
be at the point. But one night
when he WIS quite distracted, and
on the point of abandoning the
whole thing he had dream. He
thought he was in land of savages.
and was trying to construct a ma
chine for the king, who had given
himstwenty four hours in which to
make it sew, Still. the old trouble
with the needles eye followed. and
though he worked up to the last
second he was no nearer the solu-
tion. But on the way to be execut.
ed he nctioed that the spears oi
bis attendants were pierced neal
the head. Instantly he graspec
abe idea and wss begging for time
when he woke. That was at foul
O'Clock in The morning, and by
nine his needle with the eye il
point was fashioned. and his fam,
and fortune made.

Woman has yet to learn the pu.ri

! Woman has yet to learn the puri-
flying and blessed influence she
may gain and maintain over the
intellect and affections of the hu-
man mind. Though she may mol
teach from the portico nor thundeI
from the forum, in her secret re-
tirement she may form and send
forth the ssges that shall govern
and renovsts the world. Though
she may not grid herself for tloody
conflict, nor sound the trumpet of
war. she may array herself in the
canopy of heaven and send the
thrill of benevolence through q
Thousand youthful hearts. Though
she may not enter the list in legal
collision, n u sharpen her intellect
amid the passions and conflicts of
men, che may teach the law of
kindness. and hush up the discords
and conf cts of life. Though she
may not be clothed as the EN- bassa-
dor of heaven nor minister at the
altar of God, as secret angel of
mercy abe may teach His will, and
cause to ascend the humble but
most accepted saori6oe.
So great is the mind of sweet
minded woman on those around
her that it is almost boundless. 1t
is to her that we all go in seasons
of SORROW and sickness for help and
comfort; one soothing touch of
her kiAdly hand works wonders
upon the feverish child; a few
words dropped from her lips in the
ear of a sorrow stricken sister do
much to raise the load of grief that
is bowing its victim down to the
dust in anguish. The husband
comes home worn out with the
pressure of business and feeling
irritable with the word in general,
but when he enters the cozy sitting
room, end sees the blaze of fire,
and meets his wife's smiling face,
he succumbs in q moment to the
soothing influences which acts as
the balm of Gilsd to his wounded
spirits that are wearied by the stern
rsslities of life. The rough school
boy flies into a rage from the taunts
of his companion to find solaoe in
his mothers smile; the little one
full of grief with its large troubles
finds a haven of rest on its mothers
breast; and SO one might go on
with instance after instance of the
influence that a sweet-minded
woman has in the eooial life with
which she lis connected. beauty
is an Insignificant power when
compared with her.

The entrance of the woman in
to the business world is a matter
that is constantly growing each
day. The old time scruples about
a girl working out have vanished
almost completely and to day we
find women serving side by side
with men in about every trade
under the sun. The number of
women at work in some occupa-
ttons are really surprising and
only go to show that there is no
end to the accomplishments that
a woman may attain. Recent
government statistics show that
there are working in the mines
and quarries of the United States
today 1870 women, as stockrais-
ers and drovers just 1,947, and
113 women earn their livelihood
by chopping wood. Eight humid
red and seventy-nine serve as
watchmen and policemen and
there are 4s who live by driving
hacks, There are 1877 lady stone
masons aud 126 plumbers while
1905 serve on the rivers, 1920
are hunters and trappers and 2,-
GIG are authors and scientists.
Truly a remarkable of number
in odd professions, which hereto
fore have been conceded as be-
longing entirely to the men.
Looks as if it were but a matter
oftime till poor, weak man was
crowded clear off the sphere.

Truth About
Advestising.


There is M good thing in this
world that is not misused. and this
is as true of advertising as of any-
thing else The temptation to
stretch things" in telling story
OF business-which is truly what
an advertisement isis as strong
as in telling an ordinary yarn. and
this leads to untruth and deception
with the consequent result that
the average advertisement is dis
counted as to it's most important
statements, ard in many cases pro-
perly SO. The firm that succeeds
iu sticking to the exact truth in
Its advertising and convinces the
psople of the fact, has learned the
secret of making advertising pay
providing it also knows how to tell
the truth in a timely and convincing
manner.
A single business man in town
VINO brszsnly disregards setting
forth exact facts in his advertising
may easily spoil the value of adver-
tisinR to all the rest and to the
newspapers as we'll, so that it would
bsa splendid law if it could be
made an indiotable offsnse for q
dealer to make any statement in
print not easily subs:antiated. No
doubt there would be a revolution
in present advertising methods,
but the result would be healthful
and in the end more profitable to
all concerned.
No town ever amounts to much
without one OF more good news
papers to tell the stories of busi-
ness This can be set down as in.
disputable The advent of a news
paper, therefore, often marks the
beSinning of a towns business
prosperity and general awak kening.
but il is doubtful whether ]he
newspaper IS given the credit. Il
is often true that a non advertiser
in a live town does good business
1t is very natural that the should
but the credit is not due to him
self or to bis not advertising, but
to those who do spend lheir cash
literally with the newspapers and
bring the Etide of people to the
place of trade. Once there they
are very likely to drop into stores
that do not advertise, particularly
in certain lines of business not
usually extensively advertised.
Secondly, then, it is the advertis-
ers who help make town progress.
sive-in helping their own bust.
ness they help all business.
The sum of the whole question
lie, therefore. that public spirited
and discerning people should sup
port advertising firms and at the
same time insist on their telling
the truth. If the people like to be
deoeived-and some appear to
they are apt to be Accommodated.
but if merchants know that their an
nouncements are critically watched
and that their untruthfulness re-
actr on their business N other in
osntive toward reformation is need
ed. The people oan, if they wish
compel truthful stories of business
to be told and thereby raise the
value of advertising to everybody
the merchant, the newspaper
the town and the community in
general.-Taneytown, md Re-

CROESUS OF
cREsS
A West virginian Who Has Made /,
Fortune Rising Water Cress.


"That man over there is the
Watercress Croesus," said the
clerk in an uptown hotel, nod
ding in the direction of the thea
tire ticket stand, where big, fine
looking man of 40, we'll dressed
and apparently accustomed t,
New York hotel surroundings,
was buying tickets for party of
friends.
"Fifteen years ago" continued
the clerk, "he was a poor devil
down in the mountains of West
Virginia, with nothing but what
he could earn as a laborer and no
prospects. One day he went to
Baltimore as a care taker with a
load ofcattle. -G
"There he dropped into a bar
room and saw a aplateful of water
cress on the bar. He made some
inquiries about where it came
from, what it cost, &c, and went
back to the West Virginia noun
tains thinking.
'He knew piece of swampy
land where watercress grew album
dantly, and he figured that there
might be money in shipping it to
Baltimore. He made inquiries
and found that he could buy the
land for SIS an acre. It wac only
a few hundred feet from the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad, but the
nearest shipping point was four
miles away
"He talked the venture over
with the cattleman for whom he
worked and got his promise to
help him. On his next trip to
Baltimore a deal was closed with
commission merchant to handle
shipments of watercress, and the
cattleman's influence with the
railroad people was sufficient to
exact a promise to put in siding
long enough to hold four freight
cars.
"On returning home the cattle
man advanced 500, and the
whole swamp was bought. With
in month the railway siding
was in and the watercress Oroe-
sus was gathering and shipping a
carload week.
1Croesus repaid the cattleman
before six months. The next year
he put up a little shop where his
crates were made. He soon clear
ed out all the other growth in the
swamp, planted more watercress,
and in another year had solid
bed of twenty acres. He found
that by building dam he could
extend the swamp over nearly
100 acres further down the valley
but he didn't build it till he had
got the ground.
"Watercress rebuires no cult.
vation and no replanting-noth.
ing but water and harvesting. Il
produces throughout the year
and costs nothing but the wages
of the men who gather it.
"Croesus soon extended hii
market to Philadelphia, New
York and other :cities, and his
fortune was made. Now he ha,
nothing to do but spend his in.
