Whether or not pictures should be
exempt from duty on the ground that
they are different from other hand
made goods, it is certainly true that
making pictures for the American mar
ket Is considerable industry in some
European cities. Munich, which is
known to the more scornful Of other
European cities as the center Of COM
mercial art, sends the largest supply
of oil-paintings and water-colors to
this country, but Berlin Is not much be
hind Munich. 1t is not the "made-in.
Germany" kind that we are chiefly anx'
ious to get, but the kind made a few
centuries ago in Spain and Italy.

For the average man success ire
quently depends more upon his manner
and appearance than upon his knowl-
edge of his trade or business, or, one
might also say, of his profession. A
Chicago newspaper has lately been
noting some failures and their causes
1t cites the case of one man who was
successful salesman in business house
in Chicago, but was unable to get any
custom when sent on the road The
general manager Of the business went
to lunch with him one day, to talk
over the matter. The man crumbed
crackers into his soup until 1t was
thick, and then ate the mixture from
the end of his spoon in great mouth
fuls. When the meat was served, he
shoyeled 1t In with his knife, and had
finished eating and was noisily picking
his teeth almost before the manager
had begun his meal. In reply to
question, he told the manager that he
always took his customers out to lunch,
and used every method to win their
confidence and friendship" The man
ager then said, you couldn't sell me
a stick of gum. No man whose per
| sonal habits are so obtrusively vulgar
as yours could have the slightest infiu
ence with me- Had lunched with you
before sending you out on the road,
would never have disgraced our house by
giving 1t such representative" These
words hurt, but the man prof1ted by
them, and to-day Is one Of the mos
gentlemanly as well as one Of the mos
successful statesmen on the road. An
other case cited is that Of a minister
whose unrefned manners annoyed hi!
women relatives. They tried to hell
him, but he resented their suggestions
and men less able intellectually, bu
with more of the graces of refnemen
In their manners, were called to tn
opportunities for service in the pulpit
of the large and influential churches
They used to teach manners in the oil
days. Now there Is little formal In
struction. If youth does not lear
good manners at home, he has to picl
them up when he gets out into tn
world, or else be handicapped. Grea
geniuses have commanded respect Il
spite of boorishness, but 1t Is never SAT
for young man to assume that he
genius.

The successful man Is not the idler,
the good fellow or the miser He has
accomplished something. He has an
aim in life and he is helping others to
reach their goal. The truly successful
man is better when he leaves the world
than when he came into 1t, and the
world Is a little better for his having
been here

DEATH OF FRANK BUSH
Dies Very Suddenly Wednesday Mornr
ing In a Rear Room of the Big
Rock Saloon,

Frank Bush, a Grand Army veteran
and one of the oldest citizens in this
vicinity, died between 3 o'clock and
daylight Wednesday morning, as near
as can be ascertained at the age of 81
years. The excessive use of tobacco
and other stimulents is believed to have
affected his heart and caused that Or
gan TO fail to perform its function,
He made his home near Chiwaukum,
where he owned a ranch, but for the
past two or three weeks he has been
about town and had been drinking con-
siderable. Mr.. Herder, who is employ
ed in the Big Rock, says Bush told him
on Tuesday that he was sick. Wednes
day morning about 3 o'clock one Of the
men employed in the saloon put Bush
to bed in a room back of the barroom.
Between 6 and o'clock that morning
Mr.. Herder called Bush, not getting an
answer he entered the room and found
him in the bed dead.
From the best information obtaina-
bic Mr.. Bush came here between 1887
and 1890. For some time he held the
position Of timber inspector for the
government. Some six years ago he
lost his wife For the last few yerrs he
has followed the occupation of timber
cruiser and locator He was a man
some two inches over six feet and had
the appearance of one with robust
constitution. In his younger days he
must have been a very giant in
strength. He had many friends and
enjoyed the confidence of all with whom
he had business transactions.
The remains have been taken charge
of by Undertaken Heating who will pre-
pare the body for burial
Mr.. Bush originally came from Penn
sylvania. He is also said to have a
brother in Mt Vernon Wash.
On account of the manner of death it
was deemed advisable by Dr.. Mccoy,
the county coroner, to hold an inquest
The verdict returned was Death from
natural causes
The body has been embalmed and will
be held until relatives can be heard

One hundred and eighty-two votes
