A BRAKE ON SUCCESS.

khe Habit Of Making Excuses VIII
Retard Any Mans Career.
Good excuses have kept back many
o man from realizing prosperous ca.
ireer. Once you get the excuse making
habit formed you might as well have
ball and chain attached to your neck
so far as your prospects for rising to
the top are concerned.
There are two kinds Of excuses which
keep a clerk In the business world oc-
cupying clerks position when he Ii
capable Qhas it in him) to be something
better If he only would. The first class
Of excuses are the ones he makes to
himself. These are often as enervat-
ing, subtle and death dealing as the
nasty cigarette.
A clerk sees piece Of work which
lie knows ought to be done today. he
knows that the best interests of the
business require that this work should
not be put of until tomorrow. But he
has not yet reached a point where he
eealizes that his employers interests
IRE Identical with his own, and per-
haps he was out late last night and
feels lack Of ambition today So he
excuses himself from doing the work
on the ground that sthe boss" didn't

his conscience with this specious men

clerk is asked why he did not do it.
and he then repeats his stereotyped
excuse that he wasn't told" to do it
For such one the gateway to success
Is always barred. 's5
This brings us to the second kind OF
excuse, that made to ones employer.
OF the two this latter kind of excuse is
the less injurious to the clerks chance
Of advancement. When he excuses
himself from doing obviously impor.

PENGUINs FEEDING.
The Change That Takes Place Whe1
They Enter the Water.

The Change That Takes Place When
They Enter the Water.
The appearance Of the keeper Of the
penguins at the zoo, with his pail of
live gudgeon, is the signal for sudden
and intense excitement in the cages.
The penguins wave their little f1ippers
and Waddle to the door, whence they
peer eagerly down the wooden steps
leading to the pool The cormorant.
croaks and sways from side to side,
and the darters poise their snaky heads
and spread their batliket wings. At the
waters edge the penguins do not
launch themselves upon the surface
like other water fowl, but instantly
plunge beneath.
Once below water an astounding
change takes place. The slow, ungain-
" bird is transferred into swift and
brilliant crea ture, beaded with gIobules
Of quicksilver, where the air clings to
the close feathers. and flying through
the clear and waveless depths with ar
rowy speed and powers of turning far
greater than In any known form of
aerial fight. The rapid and steady
strokes Of the wings are exactly SIM
liar to those of the air birds, while It's
feet float straight out level with the
body, unused for propulsion or even as
rudders and as little needed In Its prog
ress as those Of wild duck when ON
the wing. .
The twists and turns necessary to
follow the active little fish are made
wholly by the strokes OF one wing and
the cessation Of movement In the other,
and the fish are chased, caught and
swallowed without the slightest relax
alton Of speed In q submarine fight
which is quite as rapid as that Of most
birds which take their prey In midair.
In less than two minutes some thirty
gudgeon are caught and swallowed be-
low water, the only appearance of the
birds on the surface being made by one
or two bounds from the depths, when
the head and shoulders leap above the
surface for a second and then disap-
pear. 54
Any attempt to remain on the sur
! face leads to ludicrous splashing and
confusion, for the submarine bird can
not float. 1t can only fy below the
surface. Immediately the meal Is I'm

Yesterday evening Representative

lowing telegram from his constituents

Lansford, N. d., Feb. 4, 1907.
Hon. William Freeman, Bismarck:
After careful investigation by the
Lansford Commercial club it has been
found that the coal shortage here has
reached the danger line and unless
relief is had within twenty-four hours
suffering will become acute Many
families have had no coal for some
time and are burning straw to keep
from freezing. Two cars arrived last
Wednesday, which were carefully dis
tributed among the farmers Many
had to be turned away without a
pound. Have divided our supply with
towns on the 500 where no trains have
run for forty days. Our business
houses are closing for lack of fuel
Must have at least eight cars of coal
to temporarily relieve the dangerous
situation, with more to follow Inn
mediately. Our dealers have twenty.
eight cars in transit, some shipped
early in November. We must have re
lief at once Will you not use your
good Offices in our behalf? Answer. n
The Lansford Commercial Club,
BY ]. B. Hall. d. H. Cook, Guy
Lycott, committee.
The matter was laid before Secre-
tary Hammond of the railroad COM
mission, who promptly wired the 500
and Great Northern railway COM
panies and has been notified relief
measures will be taken at the earliest
possible moment.
