THE SQUARE DEAL.

Young man
Do you know why there is such a
large proportion Of failures in bust
ness in this country?
Do you think it is because of lack
Of experience or of energy or of proper
location or OF management or of proper
advertising?
All these may have something to do
with business failures; but. according
to a business man who has made his
millions, it is lack Of something else.
And what do you suppose is that lack
Lack of downright business honesty.
You do not think so? You have come
to believe perhaps, as many young men
do believe, that knowledge of the bust
ness. tricks of the trade" shrewdness
in getting the better of bargain, the
ingenuity of deceit-that these are the
qualities by which men get on in the
world today.
That is where you are mistaken

name is known throughout the coun-
try, says:
"I'm not preacher or a moralist.
Business isn't thing to preach or
grow sentimental over But it is so
simple in principle that only a fool
mistakes it-and fails"
Continuing. he says:
twenty-five years ago l discovered
for myself that honesty was the easiest
graft known to business. 1t can't fail
in the hands of man with common
horse sense. Once let 1t get abroad
that every customer coming into your
place gets the square deal and you
can't keep them out with club"
A very strong statement that

ed up in business determined upon a
policy of making good" to every Gus

His definition Of making good was
the Golden Rule-that is to say. be de.
termined to treat every customer OF
his precisely as he would want to be
treated If he were the customer. And
from that policy he reaped fortune
Simple?
So simple, as he says, that "only a
| fool mistakes it-and fails"
There never was enunciated a truer
statement than that of the old copy
books. Honesty is the best policy"

OPPOSES CHECK REINS.
Humane Society Appeals to Own
ers of Horses.

If the recently expressed desire OF, the
Human Society embodied In pamphlet
are followed the horses of the District OF
Columbia will enjoy the permanent lux
ury of performing their labors without
check reins.
The check rain evil has been long a
cause for agitation by the Humane So
ciety. Two thousand pamphlets were
printed and they are being distributed
among the city's horse owners of all
classes. The pamphlet tells of the ply
steal injury inflicted on the horse by a
tight check rein, its uselessness as a
part of the necessary working equipment
of the animal and the physical ailments
in horse flesh which have been attributed
to it.
The mode OF distributing the pamphlets
is to place them promiscuously In car
riages, wagons, runabouts. drays. carts,
and in fact every place where a horse
owner will be bound to see ana notice
them 1t is hoped by the society to at
least sew the seed of antagonism to the
check rein which will eventually bring
about the desired result.
The society also proposes to institute a
campaign against the man VINO will
fully or innocently leaves his hitched or
weather Secretary John P. Heap Of the
society has the following to say on I'M
bIanketed horses:
Usually we find carelessness or ignor-
ance is responsible for failure to care
properly for animals under such condi-
tions, and a warning or information Is
sufficient to incite proper attention If
we could make it generally understood
that 1t is dangerous to the health of an
animal to leave it standing uncovered
after a hard drive or to permit it to
stand long in the cold, much good will
result"
