The tree crab of the South Sea Is.
lands is akin to the hermit crab, but
It is larger and it. has its hind quar-
ters sheathed in shell. 1t is
also known as the palm crab, because
1t climbs the cocoanut palm and
picks the fruit, which 1t nips of
close to the stem. It always takes
care to choose palm tree with plenty
or stones at the foot, so that the
cocoanut may be broken by the
fall When the natives see that q
crab Is in a tree they tie ruff Of
grass around the trunk When the
crab comes down again he is uEse; Dy
the grass and falls heavily to he
ground, where he lies stunned. He
is then killed with stone al. his
nlppers are tied together and he
Is slung upon a spear to be carried
to camp. The South Sea islanders
roast the palm crab between two hn-
stones and consider the flesh a ercar
delicacy.

TO HESITATE LONG is TO FAIL.
Successful Business Man Must Have
Attribute Of Courage.

Many man fails because he does
not dare to take risks, to take the
initiative.
When do you expect to do anything
distinctive in life? When do you ex.
pect to get elt of the ranks of
mediocritye The men who do original
things are fearless. There is lot of
dare in their makeup, great deal OF
boldness. They are not afraid to take
chances, to shoulder responsibility, to
endure inconvenience and privaton.
There never was a time when the
quality of courage was so absolutely
indispensable in the business world
as 1t is to-day. 1t does not matter
how many success qualities you pos
sess, young man, if you lack courage
you will never get anywhere. Not
even honesty or perseverance viii
take its place. There is no substi
tute for courage.
1t does not matter how well edu.
Gated you may be, or how good train
ing you may have had for your voca
tion, II you are hesitator, If yol
lack that courage which dares to risl
all on your judgment, you will never
get above mediocrity.
The men who stand at the top o.
their line Of endeavor stand there be
cause they have the courage of theil
convictions. They had the courage
to climb, had the nerve to undertake

Among the greatest American in
dustries is the rose growing establish
ment of The Dingee 4 Conard Co.,
West Grove, Pa, the largest growers
of Rose plants in the world. Their
annual output Is over one million
plaDts--all grown on their own roots.
This great concern was established In
1850 by Charles Dingee, who, at the
age of 81, is still hale and hearty.
Twas he who first sent growing rose
plants safely by mail, and now their
patrons run into the hundreds Of
thousands. 1t Is said they have GUS
toners In every county of every State
In the Union, as we'll as in every
civilized country. They have made
the village of West Grove famous as
the greatest rose town on this conti-
nent. Their mail comprises thous-
ands of letters daily, and is delivered
in special sacks, and at this time Of
year they load well nigh to a carload
of mail daily. They have the reputa-
tion of growing the strongest, best
and most beautiful roses in the world.
They sell the plants only, not the
flowers. They also carry complete
list of miscellaneous plants, also
flower and vegetable seeds.
This office is in receipt of their an
nual catalogue for 1909, which is
termed "Sixty Years Among the
Roses" o magnificent book of l1G
pages, beautifully gotten up and il.
lustrated profusely in natural colors
in photographs, showing the celebrat-
ed Dingee Roses as they actually are.
This book, we are told, cost them
over $4,000, and is work of art.
The most remarkable part of it is
that they offer to send it free to all
who ask for it. We urge the readers
