 Then there is Joe Sargent of Monroe Monroe is a summer place" near a big city. Every night the business men come out from the city, and many of them, though they do not care to keep horses prefer to drive from the station to their homes along the shore. Formerly, if they were fortunate, they found disagreeable liveryman or one of his untidy stable boys waiting for the train. Sometimes there were no carriages at all, and some times worse yet, when a carriage was ordered for a particular train, no carriage came and the business man lost his train and his temper, too. Of course people grumbled, but what could they do? They had to hire of Jones and take their chances, or else walk.
 Last summer I found on the station platform an alert boy, about 13 years old, whose Carriage, sir?" sounded earnest and inviting. When I smiled, in some astonishment, the boy seized my suitcase placed it carefully in an old carryall and darted for another passenger. I looked at the team. Everything, horse, harness and carryall was old, but everything was clean and well polished. Decidedly the new stable was worth trying and I won dered who had started 1t.
 Soon the boy returned with another pas senger ine tow, climbed aboard, and clucked "Get up!''
 WI nom do you drlVe fOr! l asked.
 For myself sir was the answer You see, it's vacation, and I thought perhaps people would ride with me if I started in business. So I took our old horse and hired this carryall. I hope I may have your trade, sir this summer. l won't miss any trains if I can help it.'
 He had my promise on the spot Many of the cottages tried him, and finding tsat he could be relied upon became reg ular customers. Joe soon had more work than he could well do with his one team.
 Then some business men clubbed to- gether and lent him money to buy a sec ond team. This was not charity, for it was worth while to be sure of catching the train, and Joe never failed. By the end of summer he had bought the carry all and more than paid for the second team. This year he plans to start with three teams, and soon he will control the livery business of Monroe

SOME SMART BOYS WITH A BUSINESS The Enterprise That Brings
 Sure Success TWO NOTABLE EXAMPLES. James conroy shoveIs Snow and Mows Lawns by Contract While
 Joe Sargent Makes
 Success.

Walter Durham in the St. Nicholas.
 The same rule that makes a successful business man makes a successful business boy; that is, to find something which peo- pie need and then let them know that you can supply it. Of course, there are certain standard kinds of business of which every boy thinks-selling news papers, or running emands, for example. But the really alert boy wants to invent a business of his own
 Here is what a couple of boys of my acquaintance have done in a business way:
 The best business boy I know is James conroy of Plainville. Like most boys, Jimmy had increased his spending money by shoveling snow, but in Plainvlle most of the sidewalks had taken care of them selves This last winter Jimmy decided to extend his business and hire other boys to do the shoveling. So late in Novem- Der, he went from house to house, polite ly explaining that he proposed to make regular season contracts for shoveling snow, just as the man who cleans the New York streets does, at so much cu- bic foot. He showed that it would be much more satisfactory to know, every time it showed, that the shoveling would be done, and just how much it would cost, without waiting to make a bargain with anyone who might come along. By this time people were interested, and when Jimmy measured their walks and showed them how much 3-inch snowfall would cost, most of them signed his contract.
 Meanwhile Jimmy organized at school a shovel brigade of boys who agreed to report to him at the first snowfall, to work at a fair, fixed price, and to keep on working until his last sidewalk was fin- ished. Jimmy assigned each boy to a house and waited for the snow. Fortu- nately it came on Friday night, and Jim my could use his brigade all day Satur- day. Of course, some boys shirked, though that did not hurt Jimmy, for he paid only for work done; but it was busy day for him, seeing that the walks were promptly and properly cleared, and collecting his payment.
 The next storm was so heavy that it nearly swamped Jimmy; but he rose to the emergency, hired several men who preferred sure work to simply hunting for job, and he made a good profit, for, of course, the more snow there was the bet ter for Jimmy.
 In the spring he saw that the same sys- tenn could be applied to moving lawns; with better results, too, for he could give steady work to two men. So he made contracts for the season. passing his price on the number of square feet in the lawn. The last time I saw him he told me that he intended to try to get the work of cut ting all the lawns and shoveling all the sidewalks which belonged to their small

COUNTY OPTION UPHELD
INDIANA SUPREME COURT SAYS
LAW Is CONSTITUTIONAL.
Saloonkeeper Who Sold Liquor After
DRY" Victory at Polls
Loses Case.

INDIANAPOLIS. December 1.-THE
supreme court of Indiana yesterday held
constitutional the county option election
law. enacted in 1908. under which sixty
Ave Of the ninety-two counties of In
diana have closed their saloons
The supreme court afflrms a judgment
of a county court that fined a saloon
keeper who had sold liquor after a dry
victory In an option election. The saloon
keepers case was carried up to the SUI
preme court for test Of the law.
The court says that none of the con-
tentions against the constitutionality of
the law Is valid. The defendant argued
that the state legislature had passed a
law In 1875 providing for the issuing of
liquor licenses and that the county option
law conferred upon the people the power
to suspend the older law and was in fact
revolutionary legislation.
This the court denied. holding that the
law is not probationary legislation in
that 1T confers upon the people only the
power to direct whether or not LIQUOR
licenses shall be issued i'm the different
counties under the Older law.

Third Downs Trial in January.

BALTIMORE, December 17.-State's At
torney Owens said yesterday that the
third trial of William F. Downs. charged
with the larceny Of sci. 900 Of the city's
money while stock clerk in the city reg
listers office. will take place during the
January term of the courts. The term
begins the second Monday of January and
ends the second Monday of May. Mr..
Owens did not know the exact time dur
ing that period when the case will be as
signed for trial. There is no doubt, Mr.
Owens said. that the case will be tried
again and vigorously prosecuted. Downs
has been tried twice. the jury disagreeing
each time. When the case was assigned
for trial the third time postponement
until the January term was granted by
Judge Harlan because of medical testi-
mony that Downs was suffering with tu-
berculosis and a trial at that time would
lessen his chance Of recovery.
