In Dusiness.
If you stop for a moment to analyze
success In business you will see 1t
comes through contact with people.
It Is all hinged upon the manner Of
your contact. On every side you are
surrounded by q multitude Of persons.
In every one OF. whom there exists q
potential force that may be exerted,
at one time or another, to add to your
success. The oftener you cause that
force to be exerted the faster your
business will grow. You can attract
these individual forces IL you choose
and get the most from them, or you
can repel them and suffer actual dam
age from having come In contact with
them, OK you may take 9 middle
course, as many business men do, and
drift along in apurely negative man.

Looking at business in this light it
is apparent that the underlying ele-
ment which contributes most to the
success Of any undertaking and to
business in the aggregate Is the art
Of finding the vital points Of human
contact that will set in motion these
forces. The personal element must be
stamped upon your business.-Edward
Payson Hatch in System.

An Authors Trick.

One of the ADLER modern writer's
made this confession the other day:
81 am so devoted to my wife that I
allow her to break in upon me when
ever she pleases. Naturally she cuts
into my line Of thought and often de-
stroys the continuity Of genius. The
only way for me to do a good days
work is to quarrel with her, to make
her so angry that she will cry, fuss,
break a few dishes, smash kitten,
scald puppy or two, then go to her
room and stay there. BY the time I
have done a days work she is in ex-
cellent humor and tired Of being alone.
Then we make up."-New York Press.

Greedy Little Salmon.

Little creatures may be very greedy
and vet not be able to eat much be-
cause of their size, as was illustrated,
for instance, in the case of batch Of
about 10000 little Chinook salmon that
were Matched out at the aquarium.
These young fishes, each about two
inches long, would eat so much that
their little stomachs fairly stuck out,
and yet to feed the whole 10000 took
daily only one pound Of liver and a
quart Of herring roe, both chopped
fine.-New York Sun.

Great City For Prayer.

A visitor to Moscow soon discovers
why it is called the Holy City. Every
200 or 800 feet there is cathedral,
church, chapel or shrine, and which
ever way you look you see people cross
ing themselves. Until one has seen
Moscow the piety of the place Is not
easily understood. The outsider can
not imagine Moscow conditions. He
cannot imagine church bells ringing all
the time and people praying In the
public streets at all hours Of day and
night

Kafhr Greeting.

"Saku bona" are the first words
stranger learns Of the Kafir vocabula-
ry. The expression is the common
form of salutation used by the natives,
and its literal translation is, Il see

spect not to give the greeting immedi-
ately, the delay showing the reverence
in which the native holds his visitor.

Lexington College for Women,
the oldest of Lexington schools,
has for many years been among
the foremost Of Missouri's pri-
vate institutions Of learning and
it still continues steadily and
ceaselessly to advance. The
school year Of 1907 1908 opened
with the largest enrolment and
closed with the most successful
commencement exercises in the
history of the college. During
the session, moreover, the char.
acter of the entertainments was
higher than ever before and the
work of the ACADEMIC depart
ment was carried on with un-
wonted zeal and regard for eff
cheney.

The world needs men not to

willing for righteousness sake

men are willing to have the

the direst poverty that they

tread pathways of roses.

Senator Stone and Gov. Folk
were elected by acclamation.
The contest for the other two
places was for a time spirited
and roll call by counties was
had. James A. Reed and David
R. Francis after a time forged
ahead and their election was
made unanimous.
The convention here developed
an appetite for speeches. Reed
was called and responded with
short well-worded speech. Sena-
tor Stone came next. Here de-
veloped rather an embarrassing
situation for the statesman from
Pike, David A. Ball. David's
ears have became so tuned to
the acclamations of his admirers
over the state that everything,
every name, noise and still
whispering sounds like Bali.
When Stones name was called
David ambled up to the stand,
laid aside his hat, ran his fingers
through his curly hair and
looked wise, but before he could
open his mouth Senator Stone
appeared on the other side of
the platform David sat down.
After Stone finished his speech
Ball was given his oportunity.
Senator Stones appeal to
united Democracy was more pro
ductive of an harmonizing effect
than any others.
Gov. Folk was called for and a
committee Of two was appointed
to escort him to the hall. He
responded with a short talk
on multitudiness subjects.
The resolution committee re-
ported and the convention adj
iourned.

discordant note. The conven-

harmonious that has been held
in years and speaks volumes for
the success of the Democratic

order by acting chairman Harry
M. Rubey of Macon at II o'clock.
John M. Atkison of Ripley was
chosen temporary chosen.

made up. Mayor Critic enden of

a resolution relating to negro
suffrage but was ruled out Of or

we're referred to the resolution

ed in getting his resolution read
but the vote for Mr.. Conran's S
motion was overwhelming and

On the reconvening of the con
vention at 3 p. m. the credential
committee reported no contests.
The committee on permanent or
ganization and order of busi-
ness reported F. M. Nc
