WORK MAKES MEN.

Work makes men. Luck usu
atty fails. Pluck nearly always
wins. To succeed in anything
one must overcome obstacles.
Force and fiber are built by hard
ships. Grit is as necessary in
the making of man as gump
ton. HardshipS are not always
handicapS. Often they are helps.
You will understand this better
IN twenty years. Meanwhile per
init one who has lived that twenty
years and more advise Won IN
this. Hang on to your Job until
You are sure Of better one. De
pendable boys are in demand.
And no boy can be depended
upon who does not finish the
task that he has set his hands to
do. How ever, diSagreeable our
work, do 1t thoroughly. DO it
better than the average boy will
do lt. In that way you will come
TO be known as "A dependable boy.
And mind You this: Men every
where are looking for capable
honest, gritty, dependable boys
The sooner YOU let people know
that AOu ale that kind Of boy,
the sooner You will get a better
JOB. And do not be in ii hurry
to give up the work that You
already have. BE sure something
better is offered Wait awhile.
DO your work well. Promotion
Will come. And do not envy the
boy who has an easy time. You
would do much better to pity
hun. He has good time now.

BUSINESS CUSTOMS IN MEXICO.
Methods of Displaying and Selling
Wares In Different Shops.

In the more extensive stores OF the
cities the similarity of arrangement,
stocks and methods of doing business
is more readily explained by the clan
nish manner in which the trades and
industries are controlled by the people
OF various natonalities.
The French are supreme in the dry
goods business of Mexico. Across the
entire width of every dry goods store
in Mexico runs a broad counter, not
many feet distant from the door, says
Modern Mexico, and the customer
never gets beyond the barrier Rang
ed behind it is the inevitable army

interior arrangement. Behind the
zinc covered counter are ranged the
shelves and pyramids of dust covered
bottles OF liquor. At one side is tine
inevitable tiny hauoom. The CLERKS

Time to Bank Celery.

Attention should be given now to
banking the celery crop. The work
should never be done when dew or rain
is on the plants or when the soil is wet.
Celery can be nicely blanched by put
ting boards against the plants. but
Milling up with earth is usually more
economical practice. Late celery which
Is to be stored need not be hurried in
the banking process. 1t should be left
In the field as long as possible. The
plants will stand fairly heavy frosts
After two or three good frosts, how
ever, the plants should be taken up and
banked away in cool cellar. In this
way they can be kept until after the
holidays in perfectly good condition.

Edible Birds Nest.

Some authorities have contended
that the edible birds nests are con-
structed of a glutinous matter Sc
creted in the mouths of the birds and
others think that these nests are
composed of a kind of seaweed. The
latter theory has now been practi-
cally abandoned and it is generally
conceded that the robbing of the
nests before the Matching of the
young is an act of great cruelty,
since the birds Immediately set to
work to build new ones and the ex-
cessive drain on their saliva exhausts
their strength to such a degree that
they are often found dead in num-
bers near the spot where they had
meant to rear their broods.-Chicago

SUPERSTITION OF CROOKS.
Many Times Their Capture is Traced

recently. Superstition has helped

son for his action until l questioned

house where violent death had taken
place. He had repeatedly said he

Stranger than the whims OF this
burglar, however, were that OF Perry,
probably the nervie5t train robber
that ever lived, and Alonzo J. White

from an express train, going forty
mites an hour. startled everyone Per-

mask and all, but he did insist on
having his shoes polished until they

knew. Whiteman in a burst of conf
oence once said he attributed his
downfall to the use of a new and
strange pen.
The fear of Friday seems to hold
crooks OF alncat every kind, with the
possible exception Of burglars. They
apparently have no objections to help
ing themselves on Friday, but men
who are charged with murder have
always dreaded Friday as they would
their doomsday. A fellow named
Latham, who was charged with mur-
der in Des Noines, Ia, when the judge
set his trial day for Friday. begged
to have the day changed and the
judge granted the request.
"One of the very strangest ideas
ever heard Of" said man who
was formerly a policeman in the
West, was that of well-lnown high
wayman named Lang, who committed
hold-up after hOld-up, always getting
all the plumber he could carry. ke-
leated attempts were made to catch
him, but they all failed until one
night two men caught him asleep.
When he awoke to find himself a can
tive, instead of attempting any resist
ance, he accepted his arrest as some
thing he might have expected. I

disgustedly. I have never gone out
on a job before without carrying a

first time l ever had, and l deserve to
be caught"
