Cnsfter Not Easy in His Mind as to
New Landlord.

Adam B. Gum Of this city, the we'll
known all-round athlete, who for sew
eral years held the worlds champion
ship, has recently returned from Scot
land, where he spent a month at his
birthplace, Golspie, county of Suther-
land. Golspie is within a few miles Of
Andrew Carnegie's estate Of several
hundred acres, AID Gum brings back
an amusing story concerning Carnegie
and the spirit in which he has been re-
ceived by his own race, among whom
he has taken up his abode.
The Carnegie estate Is occupied by
many farmers known as "crofters,"
who rent small farms. It so happened
that one of the 'crofters," an old man
by the name of Campbell. of the Car
negie estate, who had not seen his new
landlord, but knew him by reputa-
ton only, was walking to a nearby
town when Carnegie drove along and
gave the man a lift. In the course of
a conversation which followed Carne-
gle asked the old man where he lived.

Migratory Merchants.

Retail merchants in small towns

and even state laws in some cases are
in force, to control the wandering

Those Migratory dealers are han

goods and are adopts in the advertis-
ing art. They land in a town with a
carload of their inferior goods, hire
a vacant store room in some part of
town, in or as near the business CEN
ter as they can; distribute attractive
posters throughout the town and coun-
try, and then glib statesmen start to
work the unsophisticated. It is main

There Is no royal road to athletic
power any more than there is a roya,
road to learning.
You can't go to bed ignorant and
wake the next morning with a college
education; nor can you learn by a few
weeks OF over-study what takes a nor
NAL boy years to acquire.
1t is the same with athletics. Mos
boys, sooner Or later, have longings tc
be strong. Most Of them take out
this ambition in mere planning; a few
more do a great deal too much ath
letic work for a week or so and then
gradually cease doing any at all. Yet
they wonder that they notice no bene
tit from what little they have done.
Persistent Effort Required.
Now, athletic prowess is like an edu
cation. 1t cannor be mastered except
by steady and long work. If you look
on this work as a bore and fail to con.
centrate your mind on it you may as
well Civ up all hopes of becoming an
athlete. IS only the boy whose in.
terest III oNercise is strong enough to
keep him at it consistently who can
aspire to athletic honors. To such q
boy there is nothing impossible. He

much of the latter success to the for.

Now the boy who has not the
strength Of purpose to keep up the
athletic career he has once begun
will gain nothing by reading these les.
sons. They are written for the boy
who wants to be an athlete. and who
will stick to the exercise until he be

remember to go through all your ex.
ercises every day and how easy it is
to get in the habit of postponing them
until some more convenient season,
and to end by emitting them alto

But the same applies to school work.
If you can set aside a portion of each
day for school you can set aside a far
smaller portion of the day for ath.

Let me suggest that you get three
or four other boys to form with you a
sort of informal athletic club and that
you exercise together. In this way
you cannot only point out each others

How Advertising by a Specialist Was
Turned to Profit by a Wide
Awake Country Store
keeper.

One of the latest deals of the town.
to-town man is the working up of sales
for some local merchant. He enters
the town and contracts with some
storekeeper to hold a weeks sale.
What goods the merchant cannot sup,
ply he will have shipped in to add to
the stock on hand. He is a worker for
the percentage on the gross sales, and
stands the advertising bills. He is a
postmaster in the art Of country town
advertising. He knows how to get out
an attractive poster and how to reach
the town people and the farmers as
we'll. He covers the front of the store
with signs calling attention to the
sale. He has a force Of specially
trained clerks. He makes business
fairly hum, unless he bucks up
against another merchant in the town
who knows a few things about getting
business himself.
Not long ago in one of the small
western cities one of the experts
opened up a sale for a merchant who
had a considerable stock Of stale
goods, particularly boots and shoes,
on hand. The front of the store build
Ing was covered with attractive signs,
thousands of posters and handbills
We're sent throughout the city and
country, and the advertising began to
show results. There was one live
merchant in the town who saw Il
chance to reap a benefit from the eff
forts of the expert" The sale had
only fairly gotten under way when the
dealer-up-to-date commenced placard-
ing his store in the same block. He
was not slow in the advertising line.
When the sale manipulation hung out
his sign, Finest shoes in the town,
$3.50 per pair" the up-to-date man met
it with: These shoes don't look like
Kid, they are not paper, but they will
wear better than anything you can
get for twice the money-only $1.05."
Other signs called attention to hon
est values; that there was no special
sale on hand; it was regular business
and regular prices-but prices were
right, the goods were right and honest
values, and invited comparison with
any other stock in town." and the
people were interested.
Farmers understand tho bargain
sale" deal, and at the end of the first
day the up-to-date man had sold 139
pairs of shoes and rubbers. He didn't
have to cut prices. He gathered I'D
all his odds and ends of stock, placard-
ed them so as to tell the people they
were a little out of style, but honest
bargains, and he did business in vol
umes as great as the expert bargain
man, and convinced his customers
that not alone on one day could they
get full value for their money, but on
any day.
1t is we'll for the merchant in the
small city to do judicious advertising.
This will bring as good results, and
a v the percentage paid the expert"
In fact if the merchant would take the
amount that would be paid out to the
expert and use it in advertising in his
home paper he would be the winner in
the end. Then, again, the expert" IS
out to make sales, and he makes them
sometimes in such a way as to turn
away the trade of those who were
good customers of the merchant.

President Roosevelt-long before he

he was sickly and delicate. BY ath-

of Germany was another fragile child
whom early athletics rendered strong

the chest, lie holding them, straight
above the head, and at every second
rise" bring them down to the sides.
This is of benefit to the chest as well
as TO the upper arm muscles.
A "%suppIins" Movement.
After you have gone through this
first exercise the required number Of
times, stand up, heels together, chest
out, arms hanging loosely.
Now stoop forward, without moving
the feet, keeping the whole body be-
low the waist perfectly rigid. Bend
forward until your finger tips touch
the floor in front of you.
You may be unable to touch the
floor in this fashion the first time you
try. But by practicing constantly your
muscles will soon Timber up" suf1-
GENTLY to enable you to do so. Re-
member to keep the legs rigid, the
knees unbent, while doing this.
Having touched the floor, rise to an
upright posture and try the same mo-
ton over again. When counting in
this exercise, take three seconds to
touch the floor and three more to rise
again.
Do this four times the first morn
ing and increase it by one each morn
ing, until you get it up to 20.
Now, standing as before, keeping
the heels together, bend as far back
as you can, without losing your bal
ance; and recover your upright pos
ture once more. This backward mo-
ton should be done slowly and easily,
with no wrench or jerkiness in the re-
covery. Do not lean back so far that
it will be any strain on back or abdo-
men to recover your former position.
Practice will enable you to go farther
backward as time goes on.
Try this, tso, four times the first
morning, increasing by one, until you
reach 20.
Then try the forward motion again,
until the fingers touch the floor; and,
on recovery, do not stop at the upright
posture, but continue moving the
upper half of the body backward, thus
combining the two motions, and, re-
covering, move forward until the fin
gers again touch the floor. Try the
daily increase of one on this motion,
too. These forward and backward mo-
lions are excellent for both abdomen
and back, especially for the latter, and
are also good for the legs.

Utonian Idea.

Communism is an Utopian idea,
based upon p%latonic principles which
neither recognize natural laws as ap.
piled to business nor the rewards
merited by superiority Of intelligence
or extraordinary achievements. 1t
means that the plodder, the indolent
and the incompetents shall partake
of the benefits Of the labors of the
more worthy, enjoy that earned by ef-
forts of the workers and forever be a
burden upon their communities. Two
thousand years of experience has
proved the errors of its alleged philos-
ophy and its unsoundness In the prac-

THE BEEKEEPERS

President A. F, Judd, after the open
ing routine yesterday afternoon, oral
ly reported on the years work of the
Hawaiian Beekeepers' Association.
Some bee plants had been imported
from California, and it had been
found that there were plenty of To-
cal plants for bee pasture. Support
was being given to the national or
ganization in it's request to have the
present duties of q cents a gallon
on honey and 10 cents pound on wax
maintained. No foul broods had been
found among Hawaiian bees and steps
had been taken to prevent the i'm
portation of any infected queens. He
suggested measures for inducing To-
cal dealers to patronize domestic pro-
ducers. Imported honey might lead
to infection if the bees got at it.
