1t is valuable asset to be able to
get along with all sorts and conditions
of people. In the business world it
often means rapid promotion Some
young women think it shows independ-
ence to be assertiye. They feel that
they are being demeaned if they allow
themselves ito be imposed on, as they
call it, and general unpleasantness re-
suits. Being imposed on" and getting
along with people are radically differ
ent. The one usually shows strain
OF weakness; the other means infinite
tact and a pleasant disposition, either
natural or acquired. The girl who
| can get along with people is the one
for whom business men are on the
watch. A manager of great publish
ing house said to young woman who
came to BIN for a position:
Can you get along with the people?
We can find all the writer's and women
of brilliant executive ability we want.
but this place needs woman who can
manage others and do it graciously."
If you are inclined to have differ
ences and general ructions in your bust
ness life get an interpretive fit and
see If you are wearing the proverbial
chip, or if you have the happy faculty
OF working pleasantly and peaceably
with all with whom you are thrown in
contact. This latter trait is one that
can be cultivated and should he, even
though 1t means years of self-control.

OUR ONLY ARSENIC MINE.

How "a Sick Cow Led to the Devel-
opment of q Big Industry.
There is an Irresistible fascination
in the study of freaks of fortune.
Nearly a quarter of century ago
farmer residing near Christiansburg,
Va. in the foothills of the Blue Ridge
mountains, turned his cows into new
ly cleared field. Next morning when
the chore boy drove them to be MIXED
it was found that one of them was so
sick that she was hardly able TO walk.
She was kept in the barnyard day
al health. Then she was turned out
into the pasture again with the rest of
the herd. Next morning she was found
dead beside a cool and sparkling
spring that dubbed up from the rocks,
which appeared to be the very symbol
Of crystal purity.
Then the farmer concluded that an
investigation was in order. Taking a
sample bottle of water from the spring
to chemist, he had an analysis made :;
and was informed that it contained
arsenic in such quantities that 700 lib
eral rotations might easily cause death
in either man or beast.
Years passed, and the arsenic
springs near Christiansburg attained
considerable renown, and attracted
great curiosity. Then rumor carried
a report of the poisoned waters to G.
r. Brinton, practical mineralogist of
Pittsburg. He visited the spot and be-
gan a search for the source of the poi
sonous element that contaminated the
water. He found the outcrop Of ar
senopyrite nearly 1000 feet above the
level Of the spring. On that spot,
March 10, 1908, work was begun open
ing the first and only important ARISEN
ic mine on the western hemisphere.
The plant began operation on jan 13,
1904. Thus was launched an abso-
lutely unique American enterprise
the mining Of arsenic-b bearing ores and
the manufacture of arsenic oxide-the
white arsenic of commerce.
On the spot, which was an untamed
wilderness less than four years ago,
now stands the fiOurishing mining
town of Brinton; and American manu-
facturers have been relieved of the
necessity Of depending upon foreign
sources of supply for an article of
trade Indispensable to such divergent
arts as the manufacture of opal glass,
wall paper, white metal, speculum met
al. Paris green, London purple, insecti-
cides, bronzes, shot, pyrotechnics,
paints, and cosmetics. The present
output of the plant is six tons of pure
white arsenic a day. Only two and
one-half grains are required to kill
strong and vigorous man. The out
put for one day, therefore. Is sufficient
to supply a death potion to 1864, 600
persons.
Such have been the results of the
fortuitous combination of sick COW,
sagacious farmer and an enterpris-
ing man of affairs.

1t is true in dressing. as in every

1t is particularly trying FOR any

She gets fdrried and in her attempt

probably stains her blouse with blood.
Buttons come off. laces break, gloves
