STOPS WORK TO PLAY GOLF
RICH MERCHANT WILL DEVOTE
TIME TO GAME.
Will Make Up for Younger Days in
Old Age-Talks Of
Success.

ST. LOUIS, January AUST to play
golf and have the good time he was too
busy for i'm younger years, George NJ.
Wright. who rose from a minor office
clel!.ship to be president of big dry
goods company, has resigned. He is
sixty-five years of age. but looks younger
and says he feels younger than many
man of fifty.
When asked how he could quit BUSH
ness. drop the habits of lifetime and
let affairs alone, ne replied:
'Oh. that's easy. Golf makes it possi-
BILE. No man who plays golf need dread
having time on his hands. and no man
ought to take up golf who is not master
of his time. It's the greatest game in the
world. I've played it for years, and
don't know much more about 1t than
when | started. Asked what a young
man ought to do to get together a for
tune and be able to retire and play golf
in his later years, Mr.. Wright said:
Stick to his job and do the work as
signed to him and watch for his oppor-
tunites. That is all there is to it. OPP.
portunity comes but once in lifetime.
That is. there are many little opportuni-
ties, but the big one comes only once To
each man. If he sees it and grasps IL
then he succeeds"
Here are a few of Mr. Wright's sue.
cess maxims:
Stick to your job, do the work as
signed and watch for opportunity.
Go with some big concern; don't try 10
do business on your own hook With small
capital.
The young man who saves $1,000 has
won the key to wealth
Be polite and win all the friends Won
can.
Dress well.
Don't watch the clock
There are plenty of opportunities for
the right men today.

From American States-Advertis-
ing Campaign Proposed.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
MELBOURNE, January 4.-One result
which Australians evidently hope will ac-
crue from the visit of the American fleet
is an influx of American settlers. In his
last address to the sailors, the late prime
minister of the commonwealth was I'M
able to refrain from indulging in little
immigration propaganda work. Recalling
the old advice to the youth of America
to ''go west Mr.. Deakin urged them to
go still further west and southwest; in
other words, to come. to Australia and
settle there
In certain quarters the wholesale in
vasion of Canada by American farmers
is not regarded as altogether an unmixed
blessing. since it is conceivable that in
course of time the presence of large
American population might affect to a
greater or less extent the relations be-
tween the republic and the Dominion. and
between the latter and the mother coun-
try. For the moment this point of view
apparently does not appeal to Austria

Many of them are expert farmers under

Australia could find no more suitable re-

the Australian commonwealth should not

NEWPORT. England, January "A

Immediately applied the vacuum brake
and brought the train to standstill
Getting out and walking along the
train, he was Mortified to find in a first
class compartment the dead bodies of
Wel1-dressed man and woman, evidently
of good position. The woman was living
on the floor in a pool of blood with four
shot wounds in the neck. The man was
sitting with his back to the platform door

ing passed out at the back of the neck.
On the floor between them was heavy.

All the chambers had been DISCHARGED
although at the moment only five bullets
could be accounted for. From it's posi-
ton the revolver appeared to have fallen
from the mans hand. So blackened was
the dead mans face by powder that it
was at first thought he was colored
man. The carriage was despatched
with blood. There appeared. however, to
be no sign of IA struggle.
Alarm Among Passengers.
The passengers were, of course, greatly
alarmed by the shots and the subse-
quent stopping of the train. Some of
them got out to ascertain what had hap
pened. On it being found that both per-
sons were dead the train resumed its
journey and brought the bodies here.

Katharine Edith Gwendoln Clarke, aged
twenty-one. the daughter of Capt. Clarke

was White. and he is said to have been
a Bristol gas engineer.
Mr.. Lewis, uncle Of the girl stated
that Wintle made the acquaintance of
the girl last summer at Cardiff the
couple striking up "A friendship which
