HELPS TO SUCCESS IN LIFE.
Extraordinarily Useful Book Written
by Nath'l c. Fowler, Jr.

CAS- a boy or young man starts, so is
he likely to CO." is an automatic max
i'm. How to start in trade, business or
profession is all important, for sue
cess depends largely upon our begin
nings. That the boy or young man
may be assisted at the start and all
along the line of his career, Mr.. Nathl
G. Fowler, Jr, of Boston, has written
a book entitled, Starting in Life"
just published by Little, Brown & Co.,
Of Boston. The book is intensely prac-
tical it is unbiased and entirely re-
moved from the prejudice of personal
opinion. 1t tells the truth about the
leading trades, businesses and profess
sions, that the boy or young man, and
his parent and teacher, may obtain
advance information concerning the
important callings-what each has to
offer, it's advantages and disadvant-
ages. Mr.. Fowler goes further--he not
only shows the boy what each voca-
ton r1ay or may not be worth to him,
but he tells him how to properly pre-
pare himself to enter the calling, and
he assists him in determining, by self
examination, as to whether or not he
will succeed better in one direction
than in another. He literally tells
the boy what kind of boy he should
be to succeed in any direction, in
forms him how to prepare for enter
ing the calling chosen, and gives him
most positive information regarding
all of the occupations he is likely to
consider. At the close of each chap.
ter, two or more men, who have made
success of the vocation discussed,
tell why, and why not, they would ad-
wise young man to enter their occu-
patton. Among those who have CO.
operated with the author, and who
have contributed to the book, are
many university, bank, and corpora

department stores, well known whole.
salers and manufacturers, lawyers
architects, musicians, generals, admir-
ais, clergymen, physicians, school SUI
perintendents, railroad officials, art
lists, inventors, statesmen, skilled me

PECULIAR IDEAS OF BUSINESS.
Maine Shoemaker Sees Financial Mat
tiers in Peculiar Liuht,


A shoemaker on the coast of Maine
having been asked by sumner cot
tager for the amount of his bill for
certain cobbling job, replied:
1t shall be rs cents if you pay cash,
and so if put 1t on the books
The patron, unable to see the wis
dom of such system, asked for an
explanation.
You see," said the shoemaker, with
smile, "if you pay me the rs cents
down I make a good profit, and if
put 1t on the books for so don't lose
so much If you never pay me-"
The above financial point of view
may be matched only by somewhat
similar one which IS held by Nan
tucket storekeeper. One of his GUS
toners having found that which he
considered an unusually good cigar for
five cents, thought he would econo-
mize by purchasing number as dis.

How much do you ask for these by
the hundred?" he asked.

What" asked the patron in blank
establishment. do you mean to tell
me that you ask more for them by

MENTAL TELEGRAPH
EAST INDIANS HAVE DEVELOPED
ART TO FINE DEGREE.
Incident That Converted Skeptic Into
Ardent Believer - wireless"
System an Old One in That
Land of the Occult.

MANY persons deride the idea of
mental telegraphy, but If they would
spend year or two in India. as l did,
and work shoulder to shoulder with
the educated East Indians they would
cease their soothing" said G. r. Scrug-
ham. organization manager for the
International Policyholders' commit
tee, and one of the most prominent
electric railway men in Ohio, in the
New York Press. 1T is wonderful to
what a degree of perfection those peo-
pie over there have developed the fac
ulty of wireless brains. They were
using the wireless system over there
centuries before Marconi and De For
est were born.
let me give you an instance in
point, and it is only one of the many
Which changed me from a skeptic to
convert. Several years ago, when
was in active work as civil engineer
with railroad construction as my
speciality, | went to India to assist in
building line into the interior. We
came to a heading where the use Of
rock drills, of the tripod style you see
in use here in New York in making
excavations, was absolutely neces-
sary. This had been foreseen in the
surveys made in advance of the con-
struction work, and we had ordered
a battery of those steam drills. Finally
we worked RICH up to the place where
we needed them, and we could not
do much more effective work until
we got them.
81 was in the office one day, tuning
and fretting about those drills and
wondering whether the steamship
upon which they should have arrived
had reached Calcutta and whether
the drills were in her cargo. l asked
one of my assistants if he had heard
anything from Calcutta, which was
many miles away. He replied in the
negative. He had not even received
advices that the steamship had ar
rived. l was turning away in discon,
tent when one of the East Indians
who had been assigned by the gov
eminent to assist us, stepped forward
He was educated highly and spoke
English fluently.
"'Excuse me- he said were you
asking if the steamship had arrived?
"'Yes-we are expecting several
steam drills on her and cannot dc
much more work until we get them,
replied.
"'She arrived this morning and the
drills have been unloaded from her,
said the East Indian. "They are or
the pier now, but something seems tc
be missing from them. Are they
funny-looking things that stand or
three legs?'
Il told him they were and showed
to him a picture of one Of the drills
He looked at it carefully and then re
