GEESE KILLED IN FLIGHT.

Sometimes. when the cold weather
sets in late up north. as In all proba-
bility IL has this year. the Wild geese
suffer from their devotion TO their ua-
tive place. They may at this late sea
son fly right into a streak OF real win

vision and bitter frost to halt their
fight

is easy TO see how misleading Is much
OF the talk about the headings OF an

Once a flock came tumbling into the
street Of an eastern townships VIII

came the easy prey OF the boys and
dogs Of the place.
In another place farmer CHANGED
one spring to find the frozen carcasges
OF more than 30 fine geese in a drift
in one OF the fence corners. The birds
had evidently come to earth in some
binding storm and. imagining they
were nearing water, found instead the
hard, snow covered ground.
There are several instances recorded
of focks Of geese in a storm running
full tilt into the ends or sides Of farm
buildings. A large brood flew at full

SUBWAY HURTS Cables.
Theater Trade That Once Went to
New York Jehus Now
Goes 70 Cars.

you'd never guess the difference the
subway has made in our business, said
the oldtime night cab driver, according
to the New York Sun. Il should say tina,
night fares from the theater district and
Broadway have fallen OF one-fourth
since last December.
1T used to be that a man in evening
clothes, especially II accompanied by "a
woman wearing garments easily soiled.
would hesitate before crowding into a
surface car. Asior walking from Broad
way to one Of the elevated roads. that
was almost out OF the question. The re-
suit was that the great majority OF thea
ter and opera patrons who could raise
the price went home in carriages.
Now it's different. After the theater
the crowds walk to the restaurants for
lunch, then they drift along to the sub
way entrance at Forty-seoond street and
Broadway or a. the Grand Central.
Men and women who would scorn
the elevated or surface cars when in
evening dress do not balk at the subway.
They find the stations and cars generally
clean and roomy. and when they get up
town where there is no one TO see them
they do not mind walking a few blocks
10 save a cab fare.
"Our greatest loss is in Brooklyn pa
irons. II used to be almost a sure
thing that we'd get bunch of Brooklyn
people down as far as the Bridge at least
Then the Brooklyn people had to take
a crosstown car or walk half way across
the town at one end or the other to get
an elevated train.
Now the subway takes them right to
the Bridge entrance. Why, now one can
go from Forty-second street clear to the
outskirts OF Brooklyn without going
from under shelter IL the weather is bad.
IT'S going to be still worse for us
when they get the subway running I'M

How 10 Win In Life.

The traits which make for success
are defniteness of aim, clearness Of
view, tenacity Of purpose, the power Of
concentration and the faculty, which
with some men appears to be a kind
of sixth sense, of quickly apprehending
and promptly grasping the main
chance. Defniteness Of aim is the first
essential. There are thousands, yes,
millions of people who go through life
without any definite aim whatever.
They live from day to day. content If
they are able as they go along to salts
~ their daily necessities. These peo-
pie, remarks the Philadelphia Inquirer.
play their part in the progress Of civ
ilization, which requires the coOpera-
ton of all, and they may themselves
enjoy a fair share Of happiness, but
success in any considerable measure Is
not tor such. The man who gets
there" to use the current and convent
ent slang, is he who starts with the
purpose of arriving at some predeter-
mined goal; not the one who wanders
along any road he may chance to strike
without knowing or much caring where
1t is going to lead him. But it is not
enough to plan; one must also execute,
and il is here that the obstacles are en-
countered which so many fail TO over
come The purpose once formed must
be maintained, in spite Of occasional or
even repeated failures. and although
the ambitious striver may seem not to
be getting forward he must not relax
his efforts or allow himself to become
discouraged. lie must still keep push
ing along He must cultivate little
philosophy for his comfort and assist
ance and remember that his experience
is not exceptional II is the regular
thing. Only a very few, having set their
purpose high. reach the goal of their
expectations at a single bound. Rome
was not built in a day. Concentration
of effort is another very valuable If not
indispensable quality. Many men Of
ability and deserving fritter their tai
ents away through the multiplicity Of
their undertakings. II is by much the
best to devote ones energies and pow
ers to the achievement OF a single OBJ
ject and having made the choice of

HONEY IN SOLID FORM.
