THE MAN AND HIS JOB.

True 1t Is that some people have
greatness thrust upon them but 1t is
more often found that those who
have, did something on their own
account also. They weren't born
great but they exercised every power
within them In order to achieve
greatness and at last had II thrust
upon them.
In one OF the most responsible
positions In an American company,
one of largest in its line is young
man OF "a years old. Four years
ago he was office boy for a supply
house in Philadelphia. He rapidly
worked himself up to the highest po-
sition In the clerical department
when his loyal enthusiasm for his
work and eagerness for advancement
appealed to the manager The young
man was promptly discharged, as his
superior realized that he was worthy
OF broader field than he could
offer.
WITH a small sum of money, COM
mon school education and plenty OF
the elements OF success In reserve, he
went West. For year he occupied
position after position, but only tenn
porarily. The opportunity came
when he least expected It, He was
almost forced to take salesmans
position to be employed at all, al
though he had no selling experience
whatever. He was given hard
route, and things looked blulsh-black
to him for a while, and there seemed
little hope of his making good. But
despite his seemingly hopeless pros
pect he did his best and determined
to stick to his line until forced to
give 1t up. One day 1t occurred to
MIN that he could save his firm
large amount In freight bills II he
could arrange his territory and man
age his sales 30 that the deliveries
could be shipped West in carload
lots to a central distributing point
He conceived plan whereby this
could be done and put II in success.
ful operation. His firm was not long
In realizing the value of the man and
his salary was increased during his
three years connection with the
house from barely more than ex-
penses to 5000 annually.
The position he now holds is one
OF the greatest responsibility and at
times his mind is so taxed that he is
practically bordering on a state OF
temporary insanity. He is now but
twenty-four and It is safe venture
that II there is anything ahead OF
him In HIS line he will reach Il; and
II there isn't he ought to be dis
charged and turned loose again. BY

Arc Cold Baths Beneficial?


1t is a good plan for fairly robust
people to take their exercise on ris-
ing, in connection with the morning
bath. A cold shower bath followed
by rundown with a rough towel,
and ten or fifteen minutes exercise
with any convenient apparatus, is a
great invigorator Such exercise
may be taken conveniently in ones
underwear before completing dress
ing, or IL the weather Is not too cold,
ii may be done stripped with great
comfort and satisfaction. The man
who once acquires the habit OF cold
shower and exercise in the nude soon
comes to enjoy 1t, and to realize what
barbarous thing 1t Is to have to
wear so many clothes. He secures
so much freedom Of motion, and
feels such delightful glow all over
from the combination of exercise
and nudity. The feeling must be ex-
perienced to be appreciated Most
of US do not realize that we have
such an organ as the skin until we
stimulate 1t in this way, arousing it
to healthy action, and drawing out
a little persplration through the
pores. When this is wiped off, and
one proceeds to dress leisurely so as
not to go to the table too soon after
the exercise, the result is most agree
able and beneficial.--Metropolitan
