by paying for a special report from
a commercial agency.

MAKING WISHES COME TRUE.

Since time began mankind, or more
correctly speaking, womankind, has
spent a large part Of her time making
wishes. Wishes represent the secret
dreams and aspirations Of her heart.
Sometimes they are trivial, sometimes
they are noble: but whatever they may
be, the woman would be hare to find
who hasn't wished ardently for this.
that or the other many times In her
life.
She has wished on the new moon.
She has wished on the breast bone Of
a chicken. She has wished on four
leafed clover, and she has hailed with
Joy any new luck emblem some one
tells her of upon which she may wish.
But despite all these time-honored mas
cots, h realizes that her efforts are
largely futile. II there were only some
way, she thinks, to make wishes come
true.
The ancient philosophers Of India and
China have a thought in this direction
to the effect that II any n wishes
hard enough the wish will come true.
Much truth lies hidden in the philoso-
ply Of the orient, and isn't there a kerr
mel in this, that II one wishes hard
enough ones wish will come true?
The genuine, earnest wish becomes
In time a part Of ones character. The
desire to do, or be, or have, contin-
ally cherished, finally moulds us and
shapes us and guides us, until we
reach out for that one thing and moth
ing else. Like attracts like, and this
earnest longing not only impels US to-
ward cur wish, but attracts out Of the
great and mysterious infinite the ele-
ments of our wish toward us. George

THREE WATCH-WORDS OF SUCCESS.

A writer Of the biography Of one of the
eountry's great men, great in his business
success and great In his work for hui
mainly. says hat his first employers gave
the following three qualifications as the
reason why he SO early attracted atten-
ton In business: II enthusiasm, his
entire thoroushness. and his faculty Of ap-
plication."
These are without doubt three Of the
watchwords Of success In the business
world. An employer likes enthusiasm. not
merely effervescent spirits that mean
nothing and accomplish nothing. nor a
fussy, overzealousness that is continually
meddling In things that are none Of its
concern. But he likes the deep. sincere
enthusiaSm that takes as much interest In
the genuine welfare Of his business as he
does himself. Enthusiasm Is catching, and
the cmploye who Is enthusiastic about his
employers business makes others believe
In It. He arouses a feeling OF good will
for II wherever he goes.
Few things are more valuable In the
business world than entire thoroughness.
The peace and satisfaction hat come to
an employer when he finds an employe
who Is entirely thorough are beyond words
to describe. II an employe wants to make
himself valuable. let him cultivate entire
~thoroughness. He will become more pre-
cious 10 the busy man OF affairs than the
stocks and bonds In the strong box. A

September starts a new year for
many far more truly than does jan

start. The year is ahead for all. and
whether 1t Is faced eagerly because Of
the new experiences waiting. or looked

for all to do with 1t as they will.

1t spurs effort. It keeps one up to
his best.
The girl entering business should

MEET IN CONGRESS AT ROME
international Gathering of Foes of
tuberculosis to BE Held Late
In September.

Official announcement of the Sew
enth International Congress on Tu-
berculosis, which will include repre-
sentatives from every civilized coun-
try in the world, has been made by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. The
congress will be held in Rome from
September "a to 30, 1911, and will be
similar In many respects to that held
in Washington in the fall of 1908.
The congress, which meets every
three years, will be under the direct
patronage Of the king and queen OF
Italy.
An American committee of 100 will
be appointed as the official represen.
tatives of the United States. Mean
while the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
is acting In that capacity and it's Office
in New York will be the headquarters
for the United States delegation. The
secretary general of the congress is
Prof. Vittorio Ascoli of Rome.
AS a direct result of the stimulus Of
the last international congress held in
this country, the American committee
will be able to report that the number
of tuberculosis agencies in this coun-
try have been tripled in the three
years. More than twice as much
money is being spent in the fight
against tuberculosis by private socie.
ties and institutions, and the appropri-
atoms of federal, state, municipal and
county have increased nearly four
fold. 1t is estimated that nearly $751;
000. 900 will be spent in an~ti-tuberculo-
sis work In 1910.

The third quality this great man In cues

to straighten out, no matter what long
hours he put In on them nor how many

diligently to the To-. tefore him. and
never quit until It was satisfactorily nm
ished. Many a man has failure" written
to his name because Of this lack of the
faculty of application. He didn't stick
long enough. 1t was too much of a grind.
He couldn't put his whole heart and soul
into the work before him. no matter what
II is and see II through.
