a Good Story on Andrew Carnegie.

1t Is no secret in Pittsburg that Mr..
Carnegie was consulted In the forma-
ton Of the list of the twenty-eight "un-
defiled" citizens of Greater Pittsburg
whose achievements in the field OF
morals and industrial competition
were celebrated last week at the ban
luet of the Pittsburg Chamber of Com
merce. They do not go far in Pitts
burg until they consult Andy. When a
list of the possibilities was laid before
him, he called for blue pencil and be-
gan a slashing attack along the whole
line.
AS he marked out one name after the
other-so goes the tale, on the author
ity of a well-known citizen of Pitsburg.
now in New York, familiar with the
facts and friend of Carnegie from
boyhood-the ironmaster chanted i'm
pressively from a celebrated psalm:
who shall stand in the hill of the
Lord?" And OFF went name.
And who shall walk in His holy
place." on went another.
HE that hath clean hands" More
blue pencil.
And a pure heart" Heavy marking,
which broke the lead.
"Who hath not lifted up his soul to
vanity" The name Of very promi-

Nor sworn deceitfully." Pencil ex-
tremely active.
He that putteth not out his money
to usury." Further rapid slashing.
Nor taketh reward against another"
Renewed energy.
Then a name caught his eye. which
lowered grimly over 1t. The pencil
paused at the nomen and prenomen of
a certain Scotch-American multimil-
lionaire, who has endowed libraries ga
lore, who owns the underlying bonds of
the model corporation, who would as
soon win money at bridge as In Wall
street, whose only regret is that he did
not sell a certain property for twice
what he charged for it. The chanting
of the sacred song went on.

changeth not" But the pencil left
that one name undisturbed. unchal-
lenged; and an expression OF pleasure
fitted over Mr.. Carnegie's counter
nance, as he broke the chain Of sacred
quotation with the wise observation:

Scriptures can be applied to modern

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bust
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonies, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apotheeary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
Of whiskey, hops and bitter banks. A
score or more Of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulate for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
fActure it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale Of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment Of these ailments. Thew
have learned to trust and believe in
Or. Hartman's judgment, and to RELY
on his remedy, Peruna.

SAD AWAKENING
THoUGHTLEss SON WILL RE.
TURN TO VACANT HOME.
MOTHER IN PAuPeR's GRAVE
He Brings Back Fortune, But No
Welcome From Mother Will
Greet Him.


Pueblo, Colo.-Ten years ago Abner
Greenwich, a lad of seventeen, disap-
peared mysteriously from his home in
Pueblo. His mother, a widow, believed
he had been murdered.
The police of Pueblo and other cities
searched for him but without finding a
clew which would lead to the explana-
ton of the mystery, and in a year the
disappearance of Abner Greenwich
was forgotten, for the haunting face
of the mother was seen no longer at
the police station, seeking news of her
boy. She had died of grief.
Now comes the temperance of Alb
ner Greenwich, who, in a letter writ
ten from Peru to a boyhood friend.
John McGovern, says he is returning
with a fortune of 100000 Cleaned
from the pesulential swamps of Peru
and the sands of its fever-ridden rivers.
Il am coming home" he says, with
a million to make my mothers last
days happy" not knowing that all the
millions in the world could not have
atoned for one hour of the agony
which his mother spent in her lonely
search for her son.
"She shall have everything that
money can buy, but want my arrival
to be a surprise to her." Little does
Greenwich know that he will be I'M
able with all his wealth to ever buy
a stone to mark his mothers last rest
ing place, for she sleeps with the I'M
known dead, and that in all the world
there is no person who will feel
a mothers JOY at the return OF wan
dering son.
OF all these things Abner Green
witch knows nothing. 1t is enough for
him now that he has 100000, and
that when as a boy reading forbidden
tales of adventure. he told John Nc
Govern that some day he would disap-
pear and not return until he had ST.
OOO, 900, he had meant what he said.
According to the story of Green
witch, he has paid dearly for his wealth.
The fever Of the tropics has turned his
hair gray and his face is wrinkled like
that OF an old man. Il am afraid he
says, ito see looking glass. Once
saw my face in a pool near my camp.
and its appearance frightened me, but

mination to disappear and not return

sorrow he would cause his mother, but,
meeting a young college graduate from
Chicago, he stealthily left Pueblo. and.
reaching New Orleans. sailed with his
companion on ship bound for Peru.
For the first three years they suffered
all the privations of hunger. thirst and
fever. and found themselves further
handicapped by their ignorance of the
native language. Then. becoming IA

and engaged in the rubber business.

Youna Man and Employer.

When the inexperienced young man
enters the business field, the first
thing he runs up against is the other
mans point of view. He starts out
full of himself and of what he can do
and of how he can do it. After a
time he begins to wonder why he
doesn't get on: il he is a stupid, blum
dering fellow. he never finds out. for
the stupid man goes through life fight
ing his employer all the time. If you
are eager to rise in the world. con-
slider yourself In relation to your en-
ployer's business from his standpoint.
Try to get at his aims and difficulties.
and consider your work in relation
TO those aims and difficulties. ASK
yourself whether your work is fur
thering his aims. IL you want to know
whether you are making progress to-
ward ultimate success. Try to think
out your employers method of deal
ing with his problem and with his
employees. Not till you have gained
some insight into these things are you
in a position to take the first step to-
ward the realization OF your ambition.
Consider the fact that the head of
every business concern has definite
aims and definite methods by which
he is accomplishing or hopes to ac-
complish those aims. He requires en-
ployes who will consent to become
the comparatively Insignificant wheels
in n more or less complicated ma
chine, of which he furnishes the mo-
tive power. AS the employe is OBJ
liged in any case to come up to his
employers requirements II he is to
please and succeed with him. he will
profit by meeting those requirements
as fully and with as good grace as
possible.
