And trudged the winters snow.

But now we've got ter go. old boss;
Yes, now we've got ter go.
But nary does it matter boss,

TWO BOOTBLACKS AND BUSINESS.
A magazine writer tells the story Of
two bootblacks who were soliciting
trade on a crowded thoroughfare one
Saturday afternoon
The two boys had no regular stand
Bach had his box slung over u shout
der, and they stood near the curbstone
crying their business to the passers-
by.
But there was a difference in the
boys.
Each had his cry, composed of four
words, and never varied it.
The first boy cried out, Shine your
shoes herer'
The second boy solicited his custom
by shouting. Get your Sunday sinner
Note the difference?
The cry of the first boy announced
the simple fact that he was in the
shoe shining business for any one who
should desire his services.
The second boys cry was more sig
nifcant 1t was Saturday afternoon.
The hour was o'clock. The cry car
ried with 1t the fact that tomorrow was
Sunday and it probably would be a
pleasant day; that he Ghe bootblack)
knew an extra shine was needed: that
he who went to church or walked in
the parks on the morrow owed 1t TO his
self respect to present a good appear
ance, and, lastly, that he was there to
do the business.
Do you see why the second boy got
the larger share of the business?
He had imagination. He linked facts
together. He conveyed suggestions.
His cry told all the other boy said
and more
There is in the incident an object
lesson in the problem of modern bust
ness.
Imagination in business is money.
The successful merchant uses it. He
projects his imagination in such a
way as to reach the mind Of his Gus
toners and by suggestion causes them
to buy his wares.
The inventor can do nothing without
imagination, nor the promoter, nor the
engineer, nor the architect or builder.
The professional man must have i'm
agination. Even the farmer or breed
er needs 1t.
And yet
Occasionally you hear Of a parent
who does not want his child to read
fairy stories or believe in Santa Claus.
He is a practical man himself, and he
wants his children taught practical
things. etc.
He fails to see the large place occu-
pied by the imagination.
The man who is without imagination
misses much Of the pleasure in life.
He dreams no dreams. Unseen things
Of beauty are not for him. Besides
He misses a big asset in business.

The Washington times., 1909-05-01

When the gate is thrown open to the
public next Monday night at the old
Baltimore and Ohio station. the Eagles
of Washington will greet their friends
for a two weeks carnival, which viii
be designed to eclipse anything of its
kind ever seen in washington.
Thousands of multicolored electric
lights viii swing across the grounds and
viii blaze out a welcome to visitors.
The roar OF wild animals will be min
gled with the strains OF spirited music
from the bands and there will be en-
tertainment and amusement for all.
The principal feature of the program
will be the exhibition by Colonel Ferari's s
trained animal company, one OF the best
known aggregations of its kind now be-
fore the public.
Harry Six, who is said to be the cham
Dion high diver of the world, will be
featured on the program. He will make
a leap from the top Of 1oO-foot ladder
into a tank containing thirty-six inches
Of water twice a day. Another mar
velous feat VIII be performed by Mint
ing. the bicycle wonder. who will ascend
and descend a spiral tower thirty feet
high on a unicycle.
The trained and wild animals will
attract much attention and their antics

pected to prove of vast amusement,
particularly to the children.
Madame Salica will perform in the big
cage with trained lions and jaguars and
she will demonstrate the mower OF con-
troll over these wild beasts.
The laughing hyena will be another
curiosity in the animal show. One of
the finest beasts in the show is EN-
erson," a great, big lion, who holds the
record for deceitfulness. 10 all appear
ances Emerson is as d0cile as the pro-
verbal lamb until anyone enters his
cage when he Immediately becomes a
savage beast. 'Rill" Mcpherson, the
trainer, is said to be the only person
Emerson Will permit to enter lis cage.
There is another big lion, King" who
Is said to be one of the largest in cap
tivity King, however. does not share
Emerson's unpopularity. He is a favor
ue with Ill the keepers who find him
entirely tame and manageable at all
times.
Sultan is another lion that has a rep
utation for bad temper. Sultan has
record of two killings, both of them
trainers In direct charge of him, and he
has also wounded others. Sultan is
said to be very excitable and It Is
necessary for the trainer to get in and
out of the cage quickly while the Son
is pacing to and fro.
Colonel Ferari has a number OF other
unusual attractions IN his show and
the two weeks carnival which the
Eagles win hold promises to be a great
success.
