WON ON A BLUFF.
Tho Way One Prosperous Merchant
Got His Start In Business.

Got His start In Business.
There is a prosperous merchant in
Chicago today who owes his success to
his donation Of a $1,000 organ to a
church at a time when he didn't have
money enough to buy a hand organ.
This donation was a case Of blur pure
and simple, but the bluff worked and
resulted In the subsequent wealth OF
the lucky buffer.
John Smith was seeking capital to
start in business for himself. but as he
had no security worth speaking Of no
could not borrow the money he needed.
When he had tried every person no
could think of who would be likely to
have the necessary cash and the incli-
nation TO lend II and had been turned
down, he conceived the idea Of present
ing his church with an organ.
Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself. The man
ufacturers Of the organ never thought
OF questioning the financial standing
Of the phllanthropist who was handing
out 5000 organs aud agreed to have
the instrument set up IN the church on
time.
OK course j. Smith WIS not bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his benehcenee under a bushel.
He managed TO bring In ct least the
flute stops no matter what the subject
Of conversation. Not only did tho
young Napoleon advertise himself by
means OF the church organ, but the
pleased minister and the equally pleas
ed congrc cation spread the news Of his
gift.
During this time John did not allow
any alfalfa 10 grow under his feet on
the pretense Of consulting some
wealthy member of the congregation
about some minor details OF the organ
he would drop into an Office and be-
fore he left casually would mention the
subject Of the company that he was
forming. Most of the men that he thus
saw thought that II would be a good
thing TO be associated with a man who
was making so much money that he
was able to hand out $4,000 without
missing it, 80 that all were anxious to
take stock in ]. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the
first payment on the organ smith had
gathered enough money to start his
business and was doing so well he had
no difficulty in borrowing the amount
needed to make the payment From
that time he has made money so fast
that now he could give away several
$4,000 organs and pay for them "a
well.-Chicago Tribune.

Women Who Wear Well.

II Is astonishing how great q change .
few years Of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock TO the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbng the cheek
OF its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.

Mr.. Pope Leaves Courier.

]. l.. Pope, who has served as city
editor of the Courier for the past
two years, left Texarkana Sunday
evening for Amarillo, Texas, where
he will make his future home, He
will be succeeded by J. II. Beall, Of
Marshall, Texas, former editor OF the
Daily Sun.
1t is with extreme regret that
the Courier accepts the resignation
OF Mr.. Pope. AS city editor Of the
paper he has proved himself one OF
the best in either Texas or Arkansas
and has made many friends for him
self as we'll as for the paper. He
has proved himself tireless worker
at all times, and 1t has never been
the pleasure OF the writer to labor
with a man more devoted to his du-
ties, nor one whose friendship he
prizes more highly. In his new home
the Courier wishes for him every
success pogible.--Texarkana Daily
Courier.
Mr.. Pope is now the city editor Of
The Daily Panhandle and We are
convinced hat his rormer employer
has lost an efficient assistant, but
mis- loss is our gain.

Ing for Bryan, Kern and Campbell

not make Waco the textile center of

Campbell ran over the Cumby

while Bryan and Kern seem to be
headed for the White House and
need no special help from the Star,
These things being satisfactory, there
is nothing to do but to look after
the factory stack, the double-deck
dinner bucket and so on, and help
Texas grow. Yes, Waco is not SO

the state that 1t may not reasonably
aspire to be the textile center" OF
