First Requisite to Success.

Under oath, with the lawyers on
James Buchanan Duke, the intelli
gence, craft and energy OF the tobacco
trust, recently admitted that he was
worth 100000, 600 says an exchange
The roots OF this fortune were two
blind mules and so cents in Yankee
silver Also, there was snarled and
barren farm.
There have been two transcendent
Dukes shington, the man with
the mules, and James Buchanan, the
man with the millions.
There are other Dukes. but they
have been merely contributory Wash
ington is dead; he lived until he was
eighty-fve in the full faith and perfect
peace OF Christian, altho there are
plenty OF good people who will say
that the fruits of his fields and the
products of his factories are chief
among the implements of Satan.
James b., the son, inherited his, per-
sonal qualities and genius for bust
ness, To this patrimony must be adj
ded, however, daredevil spirit that
has, paralyzed more than one in
trenched and confident competitor.
Even Great Britain was made dumb
and ridiculous by its fierce violence
and staggering prodigality.

the outward show OF folly, and the
other fellow will always run. In
looking for the nerve center OF com
petitor, don't waste any time on theo-
ries or experiments, but hit him as
hard as you can iii the pocketbook.
Nerve is all right, but it is not Ell
iective unless fortified with money.
Nerve with an empty pocketbook is
merely bluff and bluff is the common
refuge for coward'cc and impecunos-
ity.
No man can earn fortune on a
salary nor by the sweat OF his brow
and sell-denying until he has capital
with which to Degin business. hou-
sands OF men are doing well, but they
are spending every cent they earn
Having obtained a little capital by
industry and trugaliiy the man who
wants fortune must see some need
ot the public and then pitch in and
supply 1t, no matter what it costs

An English newspaper requested
number OF its largest advertisers tc
give their opinions concerning the
oest time to stop advertising, and the
following replies were received:
'When tine population ceases to
multiply, and the generations that
crowd on after you and never heard
OF you, stop coming on.
when you i2ve convinced every
body whose lite will touch yours that
you have better goods and lower
prices than they can get anywhere
else.
When you stop making fortunes

rect use OF this mighty agent.
When you forget the words OF the
shrewdest and most successful men
concerning the man cause OF their
prosperity.

When you would rather have your

To Stop Chimney Fires.

The best and most effective way to
stop chimney fire, is to take large
wet cloth and wrap it around the
stove pipe, just above the stove.
The moist ire from the cloth forms q
cloud of steam in the pipe and smo-
theirs the fire in the chimney at once.
1t has proven effective in chimney
fires so fierce that the stove pipe from
the stove to the chimney was red hot,
and has never been known to fail.
The scheme was worked out by the
chief of FIRE department at Appleton,
Wis, and it is so simple and easy,
that if people whose chimney catches
fire, will use it, they will never have
to send in an alarm for hose carts and
fireman to come and put out chin
ney fire. Paste this up behind your
stove and try it the next time your
chimney catches fire. Saturate a
large cloth thoroughly and wind
around the pipe where it is hot.
The hotter the better. for it will
create more moisture and do it quick.

A Famous News paper Man.

William E. Curtis, the famous cor
respondent of The Chicago Record
Herald, writes two.column letter
for his paper every day in the year
without intermission. His powers of
sustained work are as great marvel
as his faculty of always making his
matter interesting.
Probably no other newspaper cor
respondent in the country is read so
regularly and eagerly by so many
thousands of men and women as Mr..
Curtis. Mr. Curtis has travelled
several times around the world,
visiting every country under the sun,
and writing larger number of bril-
liant and interesting letters of travel
than were ever before produced by a
single hand. Many of these have later
been reprinted in book form. One of
his latest expeditions for the Record
Herald was through Mexico. resulting
in a series of letters as entertaining
as those he wrote few years ago
from India, Turkey and the Holy
Land. His forthcoming letters from
Ireland, Russia and Germany will
rival in Importance and interest any
of his previous contributions.
Beginning his career in Chicago as
a reporter in 1872, Mr.. Curtis rapidly
rose to be managing editor. He re-
signed that position to accept gov
eminent appointment as secretary of
the South American commission. So
brilliantly did he perform the duties
of this office that James G.. Blaine,
Secretary of State, placed him at the
head of the Bureau of American Re-
publics. At the worlds fair in Chi
cago he distinguished himself as the
executive head of the Latin
department. He is member of al
most every learned society in Wash
ington and of many in Europe. 1t is
not strange that The Record Herald
prints Mr.. Curtis letter every day in
the first column of the front page, and
that nothing but California earth
quake can displace it from that station
of honor.

Indians Are Not DYING Out.

No, the red man is not passing.
There are more Indians in the United
States today than there were in the
time of Columbus. The Indians never
were populous. They were too much
at war. The first actual census OF
Indians was taken seventy years ago.
AT that time there were found to be
253, 464. In 1860 there were 254, 300.
In 1880 there were 900, 1877. In 1900
there were 272,O23. Today, by count
OF the Indian agents on the reserva-
tions OF the country. there are 2S4,
600 Indians. The Indians of the new
state of Oklahoma are intelligent and
wealthy and will be heard from in
national affairs.

MAKAPIJTt LIGHTHOUSES

Captain Slattery has completed the
final plans for the lighthouse at Ma
kapu. This is to be the permanent
structure, the plan for erecting a tenn
porary structure having been abandon

be located on the Makapuu promon-
tory, and will be thirty feet high. It
is hoped to settle the location of the
rear range harbor light very soon.
