RULES FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE.
Apportlon Days Work, and Give Every
Energy to II.

The over-scrupulous and methodical
individual who can neither sleep nor
take a vacation until all the affairs
Of his life are arranged must remind
himself that this happy consummation
will not be attained in his lifetime,
says Lippincott's. /: behooves him,
therefore, II he is ever to sleep, or II
he Is ever to take vacation, to do
It now, nor need he postpone In
definitely.
The days work should be started
with the resolution that every task
shall be taken up In its turn, with.
out doubts and without forebodings,
that bridges shall not bs crossed until
they are reached, that the vagaries Of
others shall amuse and interest, not
distress N, and that we shall live In
the present, not IN the past or the
future. We must avoid undertaking
too much, and whatever we do under
take we must try not to worry as to
whether we shall succeed. This only
prevents our succeeding. We should
devote all our efforts to the task It
self, and remember that even failure
under these circumstances may be bet
ter than success at the expense Of
prolonged nervous agitation.

PEASANTS oF souTHERN IrALY


During three months spent in the
southern Italian provinces. ! saw
enough to make me wonder why the
people have borne the burden so long.
In several Of the towns through which
! passed there were pointed out to me
caves cut into the solid rocks Of the
hillside where people are living. In
one such cave house in Sell, Sicily,
there was rough bed on one side
OF the cave, on the other an OIL press
turned by a donkey. Often | have seen
houses whose walls we're constructed
OF brush and mud and the roofs made
OF rough tiles or matched with straw.
The peasant has been most patient.
Naturally hght-hearted and long suf.
fering, he would cheerfully eat q piece
OF black bread and an onion for his
morning meal, oorn-meal mush sea-
sonsd with little olive oil and bread
for dinner, boiled potatoes and q piece
OF goats cheese with more black bread
At night; and then, at the close Of his
humble repast, stoop down and touch
the ground with his hand and kissing
1t, thank God for his favors. In some
OF the rsmoter towns the simpler
minded people continue to do 50. But
contentment under such conditions
could exist only so long as there was
no contact with the outside world
Whether the land-holders desire It OF
not, progress Ii bound to come.-An
tonic Mangano, in Charities and The
Commons.

The FORMULATING
Showcase
BY HERBERT KAUFMAN.

The newspaper is huge shop window carried about
the city and delivered daily into hundreds OF thousands
If homes to be examined at the easue of the reader This
shon window unlike the natural plate glass showcase only
in one respect makes display OF descriptions instead OF
articles.
You have often been impressed by the difference be-
tween the decorations of two window trmmers each OF
whom employed the materials for his work The one
drew your attention and held by the grace and everness
and art manifested in his display The other realized so
little of the possibilities in the materials placed at his
deposal that unless some called your attention to
his bungng you would have gone unconscious OF it's
existence
An advertiser must know that he gets his results in
accordance with the skill exercised in preparing his verbal
displays He must make people stop and pause His copy
has to stand out
He must not only make show Of things that are
attractive to the eye but attractive to the peoples
needs as we'll
The window trimmer must not make the mistake OF
thinking that the showest stocks are the most salabe
The advertiser must not make the mistake OF thinking that
the showiest words are the most clinching
Windows are too few in number to be used with in
discretion The good merchant puts those goods back OF
his plate glass which nine people out Of ten will want after
they have seen them.
The good advertiser tells about goods which nine
readers out Of ten will buy they can be convinced
Newspaper space itself is only the window, just as the
showcase is but frame for merchandise pictures.
window on crowded street in the best neghborhood
where prosperous persons pass continually more des
able than one in cheap sparsey settled neighborhood
An advertisement in newspaper with the most readers
and the most prosperous possesses great advantage
over the same copy medium circulating among persons
who possess less means 1t would be foolish for shop to
build it's windows in the aeyway-and just as much SO to
put it's advertising into newspapers which are distributed
among GALLEY dwelers"

ResponslblIltY.

Some one has said truly that respon.
sibility walks hand in hand with ca
pacity and power. Little is expected
Of the incapable. The very mention
Of duty, task, responsibility weighs
like q burden upon the minds Of weak
men and women. Every one must
have met men Of good parts who will
sedulously dodge anything like a re-
sponsibility. They shun everything
like responsibility though high re-
wards may be offered. The mere
thought Of being held to strict account
ability dismays them, and no remuner.
alton and no honor are great enough
to tempt them to leave the pleasant
ways Of peace to undertake q course
which involves contention or strife, or
even serious prolonged attention.
