THE RESULT OF PLANNING
AHEAD

II is the men VINO plan ahead who
do things. They provide for what
might happen, and, if it com. IS they
are ready. They have decided in
advance just what they want to do
and just how they are going to do
it.
The great German General, Won
Moltke, taught the world lesson in
method, at the beginning of the
Franco Prussian war, that will
never be forgotten. He was awak'
ened at midnight and told that war
had been declared. "Look in my
desk," he seid, "and you will find
some papers that will tell you what
to do An hour later regiments all
over Germany were in motion, AMI
readers of history know the out.
come.
Everyone has the same relation to
his business that General Won
Motke hand to the German Empire
your store or farm or shop is the
battle ground and the people con-
stitute the army; CT mpetitors repre-
sent the opposing forces; while trade
and profits make up the trophies of
war.
Had General Won Moltke been
inactive until after war was declared
the results would have been vastly
different; Germany would have gone
down in defeat. So it is with the
business man who remains in dor
mant state during all the months
preceding the spring season. On
awakening he will find that the
business war has been declared and
that he has been whipped before he
ever had chance to put up any kind
of fight.

HEART AND HONE TALKS

Nowhere else is there so great
need of practicing all the "saving
virtues" and pleasing courtesies of
life as in the farm home, where the
family is thrown so constantly to-
gether, and isolated from outside
companionship SO much of the time
that each should make himself as
agreeable and companionable as
possible to the Others.
Children are great imitators, and
those reared in the farm house im
tate the speech and manners of their
parents more cloaely because they
come In contact with few others.
Josh Billings put many ulte
truths into his quaint and homely
pnraseology. His advice to a
father was: elf you want your boy
to erow up in the way he should go
you must skirnish along that way
yourself"
If the father is kind and courtc
Gus the son will be.
If the father is kind and courte.
| Gus the son will be.
If the mother is CHEEKY and con-
siderate and sympathetic the daut h.
ter wil%be.
And if the parents are careful
about their personal appearance anc
their manners, the children will be
the same.
The father who chews and smokes
and swears and lounges about the
home with unkept hair and beard
and shoes reeklng with the smell OF
the stables, cannot expect his son to
be free from such faults and filth.
Tee mother who Egoes about all
day in torn, dirty dress, with un-
tidy hair, and gives little attention
t. personal cleanliness, will find
her daughter following in her foot
steps.
Company manners" may be
taught by precept, but will be found
of little use, as the habits of every
day life will unconsciously assert
themselves upon unexpected occa-
sions and result in humiliation and
modification.
Reader if your family has fallen
into careless habits that jeopardze
not only the happiness of your home
but your children's future, institute
new and better order of things.
Anyone can be clean and courte-.
Gus.
Patches may be accompanied by
politeness.
Only rags, dirt, disorder and dis
cord are disgraceful.
The children In the humblest
home may have as manners as those
in the millionaire's palace.
True courtesy springs from the
heart, and if love reigns and rules
the hsme, the grace of fine manners
is easily acquired.

When a Trout Is Hungry,

A curious incident. showing that trout
will not be easily frightened from a
hook when they are hungry, is told by
a Maine sportsman. He felt good
bite. but before he could haul in the
fish it broke loose and got away. He
readjusted his bait and made another
cast. In Il minute the hook was again
taken, and he pulled in a two pound
trout. 1t was hooked in the side of the
mouth while upon the other side Il
piece more than an inch long had been
torn from the jaw. and the wound was
still bleeding. This showed conclusive
ly it was the same fish that had just
taken the hook and had got away

HOW ONE STRIKE WAS SETTLED.

In view of the present telegraphers
strike it might be of interest to relate
how a telephone strike was recently
settled at Helena, Mont. The strike
of telephone operators had been on
for some days, which was very dis
comforting to subscribers, and was
disastrous to business of that city.
Judge Bach of the district court there
issued a writ of mandamus to compel
the company to resume operations.
In setting forth his reasons the
Judge stated that the company had
made contracts with its patrons which
il could not cancel at its pleasure, and
that its agreement was just as bind
ing as was its note in bank. He pro-
posed to punish anyone who attempt
ed to interfere with the lines, but
held that the mere fact that one per
son persuades another not to work
and used no threats or force did not
justify the company in refusing to do
its duty to the public. He refused to
accept the statement of counsel for
the company that operators could not
be secured, but said the cost to the
company was immaterial where It had
a contract to perform, and that he
knew the company could get all the
help it needed II satisfactory remune-
ration was offered.
If local strike can thus be settled
by a district court, why could not the
courts of the land settle the telegra-
piers strike by the same means? Tel
egraph operators are under-paid, and
they had a kick coming. But aside
from that, the attitude of the strike is
such as to greatly damage many bust
ness enterprises, and It is the opinion
of the Herald that parties made to
suffer financially by the company's
failing to comply with its contracts
are entitled to and should have dam
ages.
1t is more than likely that many
suits for damages will grow ont Of the
present strike.

LETTER TO r. M. JOHNSON,
Palestine, Texas.

Dear Sir: Paint goes by gallons.
There are useful and useless gallons.
Useful paint is lead-zinc-and-oil with
dryer and color; useless paint is whit
ing, china-clay. ground stone, barytes.
benzine, or water.
This stuff is put in, because it is
cheap, to stuff-out the paint, to make
more gallons to sell; of course, the
buyer doesn't suspect, or he wouldn't
buy it.
1t costs as much to brush-on this
useless stuff as lead-zinc-and-Oil; but
it looks like that and feels like that in
the brush; the painter doesn't suspect
it. Besides, if the owner is willing,
why should the painter object to
painting two gallons for one? He is
paid by the day; more gallons, more
days, more money.
Average paint at full price is about
One-third this useless stuff: and aver
age paint at SIPS or $3.50 or $1.75 a
gallon is two-thirds trash. Fool paint
is the proper name for all but pure
paint; 1t is made to fool people with.
Knave paint is another good name; it
is made. of course, by knaves. Sick
paint is a name for an honest weak
paint. They are all weak and all ex-
travagant; too many gallons to buy
and too many gallons to brush-oh.
Devoe is the standard.
Yours truly.
