TIE HURRYlNG MAN
And the Man Who Keeps Cool and
Does Thinos Without Hurrvino.

And the Man Who Keeps Cool and
Does Things Without Hurrying.
81 like to see a man quick about his
work said Mr.. Quilkinton, "but don't
like d man who habitually hurries.
The hurrying man gets on my
nerves He grabs things up and slams
things down and makes a great show
of doing things. For that matter the
earnest, hurrying man may actually
do things, but he does them at the cost
OF an unnecessary expenditure of ner-
vous force on his own part, and I am
sure he must wear Old the nerves of
other people around him.
Now the hustler is a very different
proposition from the hurrying man
and SO also the man of energy The
hustler is indeed a man of energy, but
he is one working, or commonly so,
within comparatively narrow COM
| pass or along some special line of
| work. He is a bull sort of man, driv-
| er, who makes it his business to get
| things done and to keep on getting
| them done and always with the least
possible waste of time or force.
| There are other sorts Of hustlers, men
who make a great to do and don't ac-
complish much; but the one have de-
scribed is the hustler Of the best tyne.
'sThe man of energy Is man Of
| strength and momentum who gives
also an impression of reserve power.
He is likely to be the head Of the en-
terprise and he communicates his
l OF 10Th, f0 ha
power all around. Everybody within
range OF his influence feels his strength
and works better for it; and he puts
his own shoulder to the wheel on NJ.
casion.
But neither the hustler of the best
| type nor the man of energy ever hur-
ries. The hustler rushes things. he
crowds 'em hard and keeps crowding
but he doesn't hurry. For hurry
means nervousness and nervousness
means impairment of strength, and on
Dig JOB hurry is likely to mean con.
fusion worse COMPOUNDED.
The real hustler first lays out the
work to be done clearly in his own
mind and then, with no false moves
with no waste Of time or effort he
crowds the work forward to It's con.
clusion, all without the turmoil Of hur.
ry. And the man Of energy diffuses
| strength always steadily, ever con.
| tributing to the highest results.
/ So ! don't personally fancy the In.
diudual man who, however efficient
he may really be. does things in a hnr.
ry. I like the cool man, the man who
! keeps his head and who is easy and
deliberate in his movements. In hin
and In his work you feel full conf.
/ dence, and the effect of his presence
is good in every way on all aronn =

Why Sloan's Liniment and Veterinary
Remedies Are the Best to Use.

Let me tell you why Sloan's Lini-
ment and Veterinary Remedies are
the safest and most practical on the
market to-day. In the first place. DR..
Earl S. Sloan is the son Of veterin-
airy surgeon, and from his earliest in
fancy he was associated with horses.
He bought and sold horses while
yet very young. He practiced as vet
Urinary for 20 years and has battled
successfully with every disease to
which that animal is subject.
All his remedies are the result OF
experiments made to save life or re-
lieye suffering while he was practic-
ing his profession.
Any reader, by writing to DR.. Earl
S. Sloan, GLE Albany street. Boston.
Mass, will receive "Sloan's Treatise
on the Horse free. This book tells
how to treat horses, cattle, hogs. and

WINNING THE REVENUE
An Illustrative Incident in the Process of
Selling Human Bodies and Souls for the
Saloons Dirty Dollars

Under the chill OF winter night, In the Sckly
glare of the electric lights, there piled in the
streets of the city of Chicago on Wednesday
night of last week, another of those sickening
heaps of sacrifice that the saloon business exacts
The story is very simple and in most of its
features very commonplace. A twenty-one year
old boy was going home to his widowed mother
in her home in "Prohibtion Hyde Park" drunk.
He was just twenty-one year old boy, the prod
uct of our boasted civilization that gives us the
public school with its "hygienic teaching the
church and the Sunday school and all the moral
influence of the homeland licenses the saloon
against it all 1t was the second time within
a week that he had come home in the same con-
dition and for the second time the elevated train
carried him past the station where he should have
gotten off, and he was awakened at the terminus
of the road and turned upon the platform.
Enraged by what he considered an imposition,
he began to create disturbance among the pas
sengers, and an employee of the company, kept
there for that purpose, because such drunken
are common, demonstrated with him and be-
Asan to lead him toward the street.
Without word, without action to indicate
his intention, the unfortunate boy drew a revol-
from his pocket thrust it in the face of the
railroad employee and fired
In the home of hard working man there are
widow and fatherless children as the result
Then in manacal rage the unfortunate lad
began to fire right and left among the men and
women crowded around him. One bullet found
mark in the body of passer-by, fortunately
without fatal results.
Then as he saw policemen rushing toward him
with drawn revolvers, the poor fellow turned his
weapon upon himself and fired again
Chicago courts will never try the case The
last shot appealed it to a higher court of last
resort
Of course, it is all very simple and very

has not been deluged with maliciously false mat
ter concerning the situation in Kansas City, Kan
sas.
1t is easy to understand why the brewers have
been specially anxious to misrepresent the situa-
ton here and, if possible, to break down the
Prohibition regime. At the lowest possible cal
culation, two million dollars every year are now
being saved for the people of this city out of the
pockets of the brewers. In addition to that, this
city, under most adverse conditions is giving to
the world illustration of the prosperity and
progress and plenty and contentment that come
from the Prohibition of the liquor traffic
Such object lesson cannot be allowed to
go on without danger of serious damage to the
liquor interests.

their chief use was for Arizona socks.
