THE VALUE OF TIME.

Successful men have ever been
misers of their time. To get rid of
time-wasters, to keep them from
sapping that which gold cannot buy,
is one of the greatest problems with
every busy man of affairs.
]. Pierpont Morgan, perhaps the
greatest living fnancier, seems to
have solved it successfully. He is
always at his Office promptly at half
past nine O'Clock in the morning, and
rarely leaves until FIVE O'Clock in the
evening. 1t has been estimated that
his time is actually worth twenty
dollars a minute, but he values it at
much more than this himself, and it
is difficult to get FIVE minutes with
him unless one has very important
business to transact.
He does not shut himself up in a
private Office, guarded by several
secretaries and buffers, as many
great business men seem to be obliged
to do in order to protect themselves.
He sits at his desk in an open room,
in which are many other desks and
workers, where he manipulated enor-
nous combinations and deals with
vast plans. Yet he is nearly always
accessible to those who wish to see
him for business purposes, but woe
to the man who attempts to approach
him during business hours without
sufficient reason. Mr.. Morgan has a
marvellous instince for measuring men
and finding out instantly what they
want. There is no beating about the
bush with him. He strikes for the
marrow instantly, and thus saves
much valuable time. He never
allows himself to be made a victim by
that numerous class of people who
have no particular business Of their
own, but like to drop in" and waste
the precious minutes of busy man.

International Morality

1t is a mistake and 1t betrays a
spirit OF foolish cynicism, to maintain
that all international governmental
action is, and must ever be- based upon
mere selhshness. and that to advance
ethical reasons for such action is all
ways sign OF hypocrisy. This Is no
more necessarily true OF the action OF
governments than OF the action OF In
dividuals. II is sure sign OF a base
nature always to ascri~e base motives
for the actions of others. Unquestion-
ably no nation can afford to disregard
proper considerations OF self-interest,
any more than private Individual can
so do. But it is equally true tsat the

POINTED OUT IN A DREAM.
Man Sick with Fever Sees . Pot Of
Gold and Finds the
Treasure.

II was only u or IA years ago that
a queer thing happened near Medina,
o. A tin peddler. who was driving
wagon, was taken sick one day in
summer. az he was driving. and he
sought shelter In q farmhouse. He
had a run OF fever for seven or eight
days, and when able to get out again
he said to the owner of the farm:
81 am satisfied that there IL q sum
Of money buried on your farm. I have
seen the spot seven or more times in
my dreams"
"Oh," replied the farmer. "if you
can find any treasure here you are
welcome to It."
How much will you take to waive
all claims?" said the peddler.
give dollars worth Of milk pans"
IF you will 60 to town and get Q
lawyer to draw up the papers in due
form I will give you s25 In cash."
The farmer tried to laugh the ped
der out OF his notion, but the man
was 30 earnest In wishing to buy all
rights to what he might nnd that q
paper was drawn up. the 326 was paid
over, and he was told to 90 ahead. He
replied that he was In no hurry, and
mounted his wagon and drove home,
and In about a fortnight returned with
a horse and wagon and q companion.
Giving notice that he had come to
claim his own. he proceeded 10 dig In
the corner Of the front yard. and be-
fore the hole was three feet deep he
unearthed q small stone jug. tightly
corked. Il was broken on the grass
Plat, and lying among the fragments
were 5000 in gold and silver coins.
None Of the pieces had been coined
within less than IL years. and the then
owner Of the place had occupied II for
nine years, and knew that nobody
could have buried the jug there mean
while.
The peddler said that q very tall.
dark complexioned man, having Q
scar ON his forehead and limp In his
Rait, had repeatedly come to him In
his dreams and pointed out the spot.
Ths description exactly answered that
Of a hard case who had been In the
county Jail for horse stealing and
Who had subsequently died In the PEN
itsntiary at Columbus. However. the
psddlsr had been % careful. TO pur-
chase all rights IN advance and had
walled 20 directly TO the treasure that
the oGicials Of the law made mp their
minds to investigate him. HIS ind was
seized and his record looked up. but
when nothing could b shown against
him he got possession Of the treasure
and used Il 10 buy IN interest In tt
house he worked for.
