did not find the name he was looking

started to close the register.
A terrified look came over the
clerks face and he seized the young

book fell back open.
"Here-why !" the young fellow ex-
claimed in surprise. "Who do you take
me for? Mrs. Guinness In disguise? I
was just looking for a name on the

the clerk, "that the greatest cnlamlty

He tried his hand at many things
His lot it was to fail;
And while it's true misfortune stings,
He didn't finch or quail,
But plodded on with hopeful heart,
Until his race was run,
Content to play a losers part
At odds Of 10 to 1.

showing the greatest advance are flour, corn meal, milk,
butter, cheese, potatoes and e%vaporated apples. Tea is
the only article that declined in price. Meat, as every
body knows, was higher in 1907 than in 1890, though the
percentage CT increase was not as much as in some other
articles OF food. E
Prices Of foodstufs were lower in 1896 than In
any other year Of the eighteen covered by the report.
The increase in 1907 Of some Of the more important
articles over 1896 prices were as follows: Bacon, 3d.

of psychology. Young men want success speiieo WIN d
big 49, and the ambitious are not satisfied short OF Il
fair degree Of material reward. For this there is no
moral blame. But already the harm has been done IN
making the false suggestion that In order to be success
full one has only to be "slick," overshrewd, dishonest. In
the far-reaching influence Of simple suggestion we have
one Of the most valuable contributions Of modern psy'
chology. The smallest word of suggestion can reshape
a career. Thus the erroneous preaching Of many a sim
cere moral leader has worked we know not how much
harm. With q true conception Of what constitutes the
highest aim Of life, there has been coupled a false sus-
Eestion Of how to obtain what may be called a lower
form Of SUGGESTIVE material. On the contrary, the les
son always to be driven home Is that real success

ward Of honest effort on the part Of every man. No other

qualities were never more valued than to-day, and now,

found to be below the standard Of ef-

commerce and labor. OF these 1879
some will be dismissed, some reduced

A letter of unusual character has
just been received from an employe
in the field service of the general
lighthouse board, branch of the de-
partment Of commerce and labor.
The letter was in response to one
from from the department calling
upon this employe for his resignation
for characterization.
Promptly acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the letter the employe de-
clared that the official who asked
for his resignation, Secretary Nagel,
and the whole government could go
to II" so far as he was con-
cerned, and signed the letter "Disre-
