THE TRUE ROAD TO SUCCESS
People Who Work for Money Get
Nothing Else.

The man who writes solely for
money gets nothing else Game is not
for him. By the law of compensation
We get that for which we work or get
nothing. If we work for money, and
get anything, we get money and only
money. The writer whose work en-
dures writes for expression, writes
because he cannot help it, writes with
no object in view save to express n
thought that he canno. suppress. And
so it is with every kind of work.
The best that is in us will not re-
spond to the call for mere money. II
you would succeed you must work be-
cause you like to work-you must get
in some position where your daily
work is your very life, and the com
pensation is a matter of course. If
you can find that kind of position,
your salary will take care OF itself.
and in 1t you cannot fail, however lit
tie you may seem to accomplish.
Many successful bushes men die
quickly when they retire. Their life
work is 50 inseparable from their lives
that to sever the ties means dissolu-
tion and death. That's the secret Of
their success. Work was life to them
The best literature of the world, the
clnssics of all languages, the things
that will endure through all time and
win thrill generations yet unborn,
brought the smallest compensation in
money.

TWIN BROTHER NO RELATION.
Returning Hero Refused to Recognize
Members of His Family.

Back in the early SOS there lived in
the little town of Francestown, n. H.,
a large family by the name of Foote.
They were illiterate, but honest, hard
working people, and the boys were
often hired out by the neighboring
farmers.
Two of the boys, Jim and Dan, were
twins, closely resembling each other.
They were the butt of many good
natured jests. From "Old Ike" their
father, they received a little strain
Of negro blood, which showed itself
in speech and good humor.
Dan went to war, and, returning,
felt himself to be a hero. He finally
decided that the family name was not
quite good enough for him, so he had
it legally changed from Foote to Bart
lett.
Shortly after this he appeared one
evening in the little country store.
The usual number of loafers were
present. One of them, thinking to
torment him by using his old name,
said: why, how do you do, Mr..
Foote!"
Drawing himself up to his full
height, Dan replied. with great dig
nifty: You're mistaken In the man,
sab! I'm Mr.. Bartlett, sah You
must be thinking of my twin brother.

NECKLACE FROM THAMES.
Lost for Year, Recovered by Work.
man Who Didn't Know Its Vafse.

A valuable pearl necklace lost in the
Thames over a year ago by lady
of title has just been recovered by
it's owner, says the London Tribune.
Some months ago Henley-on-
Thames workman walking by the sid e
of the river, near Shiplake Ferry, saw
something glistening in the water,
and getting the object out, he found
that it was a pearl necklace. Think
ing the gems, however, were only i'm
itation, he casually carried the
necklace home in his pocket and gave
it to his wife.
She occasionally wore it, but never
dreamed of it's real value until some
little time ago, when she broke the
clasp and took it to a local jeweler
to be repaired. The jeweler at once
saw that the pearls were valuable,
and, not satisfied with the woman's S
story, he sent for the police. The
pearls were handed over to the Gus
tody of the police, and in due course
were advertised by them as found.
A few days ago the necklace was
identified and claimed by lady well
known in fashionable circles, who
had dropped it into the river while
staying at Thamesside mansion near
Henley.
The pearls are valued at $40 or
$50, and the man who found them
has received a check for five pounds
sterling.

SAFE AND RELIABLE.

That the roots of many native plants,
growing wild in our American forests,
possess remarkable properties for the cure
of human maladies Is well proven. Even
the untutored Indian had learned the
curative value of some of these and
taught the early settlers their uses. The
Indian never liked work so he wanted his
squaw to get we'll as soon as possible that
she might do the work and let him hunt.
Therefore, he dug "papoose root for her,
for that was their great remedy for fe-
male weaknesses. DR.. Pierce uses the

NEW JOINT AGENCY
Minneapolis Chicago Lines Plan Steam
ship Move.

Chicago, May 1.-Chicago- Minneapo-
regularities in handling east-bound
steamship business, frequently made by
the Chicago New York lines, are consid-
ering the proposition Of placing all this
kind of business In the hands Of joint
agency at Minneapolis. This, some
of the officials believe, will remove all
trouble over this class Of business, at
concerned and in the future, if theresis
any complaint to make, it will put the
proposition squarely up to the eastern
lines.
For years the steamship business has
been the source Of great annoyance to
both the eastern and western lines. At
times the commissions offered by some
of the lines on this kind Of business
have been SO great as to make the ac-
tual rate paid by the passenger ridicu-
lousy low. Protests have been made
against this practice and bitter recrim-
nations have been passed back and
forth. But each spring and fall when
the steamship business starts, the same
old fights are brought up and the same
| charges reiterated.
w. R. Galloway, general passenger
agent Of the 500 line, undertook to pro-
| tect his interests a few days ago by
| quoting a rate OF $l8 to New York via
Montreal. This rate was met by the
Omaha, which gained the consent of the
other Chicago Minneapolis lines to
make the same rate effective from Min
neapolis to New York via Chicago and
] Montreal While the other Chicago
Minneapolis lines gave their consent to
the rate, none Of them is using it, and
a proposition is now before the interest
ed roads to withdraw the tariff and ig
more the action of the 500 line.

English and American Corporation
 Buys Big Silver Mine in Mexico.

The details of one of the biggest deals in Mexico mining property ever reported in this country, has just been given out by Frederick w. Baker, the president of the Ventura Corporation, Limited, of London and New York. The company has just purchased the Real del Monte silver mines at Pa chuca, Mexico, sixty.two miles east of Mexico City. The property consists of over 5000 acres, and includes TO diff ferent mines. Mir. Baker says that this is the most important group of mines which has ever gone out of the hands of the Mexicans into the control of Americans and Englishmen.
 The mines were purchased from the Cuevas family, which has controlled them for generations. The purchase price was 5000, O,OOOs, and in view of the fact that for the last four years, the production of silver has been over 1000, ,0OOS year, in Mexican money, the deal looks like bargain for the purchasers. The mines were first worked in 1920, when the Spaniards conquered Mexico, and have been op- erated at intervals ever since.
