H0W TO HOLD A POSITION.
Courtesy Promptness, Loyalty and
Hard Work Are Keys to Success In
Business.
By H, ]. HAPGooD,
President Of Hapgoods.

President OF Hapgoods.
How to hold position? Do just as
little work as you possibly can; take
no interest in the business; curse the
injustice of your employers when you
see younger men advanced over your
head. By following these rules you
may hold position ten years, but the
salary paid you and the responsibility
placed upon you will be little If any
greater than when you started.
But by holding a position we mean
something broader and better than
this. We mean constantly increasing
your employers satisfaction, steadily
developing higher ability and surely
advancing to larger and greater re-
sponsibility.
My subject is then really Success
in business" and this, like success OF
any kind, is "untaught and unteach-
able" There are, however, certain
valuable hints to be gained by study
ing the careers Of men who have sue
ceeded. Although the paths by which
these men have won success are wide
ly different, there are certain features
which stand out prominently in all Of
them. These believe to be the es-
sentials for business success-prompt
ness, courtesy, loyalty, hard work.
Promptness is the key note im this
age Of hustle. Opportunity waits for
nobody, and the man who Is always a
little behind time is playing losing
game. always there with the goods"
is one Of the highest tributes that can
be paid a modern business man.
Having the goods" s the first con-
sideration, but this will avail little If
you are not always there with them
when wanted.
In this connection a good story is
told of Philip D. Armour and young
man who had just begun work for
him. When on the first morning the
| young man reached the Office at 8
o'clock, he found his employer al
ready there at work. The next morn
ing at $50 and the following morning
at s o'clock it was the same. At last,
determined for once to be there first,
the new clerk was there at Z o'clock.
When he walked into the Office Mr..
Armour looked up from his desk and
grimly inquired: young man, where
do you spend your forenoonsT
Business hours are not usually as
long as Mr.. Armour made them, but
whatever they are they are rigidly OBJ
served. Five or ten minutes in the
morning, trivial as it may be itself, is
a pretty sure indication of the degree
of promptness you will show in more
important matters.

courtesy" said a successful business
man the other day, and he spoke the
truth. In the nerve-racking, endless
rush of affairs, there is nothing which
leaves a stronger impression than q
pleasant word or kind act, especially
if it be something most men over
! look. Business courtesy is largely &
matter Of habit and is one of tbs
habits we can afford to cultivate.
, In the army and navy loyalty is ar
essential for success and it is no less
so in the business world. Enthusiasm
and loyalty go hand in hand; a mar

SALlNA TOWN RGW.
Contest Over Creation of New ward
Gets Into Court.

David H. Shields, mayor Of Salina-
Amos Godfrey. city clerk, and the
members of the city council today ap-
pealed to the supreme court from the
decision of the lower court in the in
junction suit which was brought
against them in the name of the state
to prevent their pla nof calling an
election on August Is under a new
division of the city mot wards
Salina was divided into four wards
by an ordinance enacted in 1879. Since
that time there was no change in the
ward boundaries up to July Is, 1906,
when by resolution the city council at
tempted to create a new ward, to be
known as the Third ward. On applf-
cation of David Ritchie and others, the
attorney general allowed the name of
the state to be used in beginning in
junction proceedings to prevent the
holding of a special election called for
August IS. The complainants won
their case and secured an injunction
in the lower court. The court held
that as only four members Of the
council voted for the resolution it was
not legally adopted by majority vote,
and further that it is contrary to law
to create ward by resolution.

is composed of narrow cells in three
tiers, with three foot corridors be-

Directly above the prison is the
house of the late Stephen Girard, an
eccentric rich man, who gave Csirard
college to Philadelphia. It has long
been handed down in local history that
Girard drove brisk slave trade and
that the basis of his gigantic fortune

Brown for the Nationals and
AltrOck for Americans.

Chicago. Oct. 12.-The fourth game Of
the championship series between the
National and American leagues was
played today on the grounds Of the lat
ter club before the largest crowd that
has as yet witnessed the contests.
The disagreeable weather of the past
four days gave way today to something
like normal October conditions and It
was possible to keep still for a few in
nings, without courting pneumonia. The
higher wind, too, that has been such an
unpleasant feature Of the post season
games thus far. was absent and this
lent an added joy to the occasion
It was believed before the games that
the pitchers would be the same as those
of the first game when Altrock of the
American league team and Brown OF
the Nationals were pitted against each
other.
Betting now is practically even money
on the series. The day was ideal for the
contest. The sun shone brilliantly and
the wind had lost its chill. Long before

nose broken in yesterdays game, was
out in uniform today and prepared to
take his place in right field.
The Americans appeared on the field

reception given each man has never
been heard before in a baseball park.
Robe is suffering from split finger
on his throwing hand which gave him
much pain. Davis vas out in uniform
for the first time during the series He
still complained Of his sore back, but
said he would try to get back in the
game if possible. Manager Jones
however. said he did not believe he
would take Robe out of the game ever
though Davis did play. It was there
fore taken for granted that Roht
