porous farmer, died yesterday

the horses gave a vigorous strike

stomach The injured man was

OLD-FASHIONED HONEST

An exchange wants to know
what has become of the old-fash-
toned honesty. 1t is pointed out
that even in the commonest bust
ness transactions of the day it is
now considered perfectly legiti-
mate to misrepresent, oyercharge
or adopt any other means, honor
able or otherwise, to drive a bar
gain.
The public conscience has been
SO scared with stories of graft, en-
bezzlement, defalcations and all
sorts of dishonest practices that it
pays little attention to the increas-
ing evidences of corruption that
are being disclosed almost every
day.
Great corporations, with their
millions of means and highly train
ed intelects behind them, adopt
highway methods to crush out
competition and swell their Golfers
with illegitimate gain.
Every avenue of human endeav-
or has been invaded by these COM
mercial pirates in their unnatural
and unlawful effort to accumulate
gold and gain power.
The nation is sadly in need of
revival of old-fashioned honesty,
both in public and in private life.
Exchange.

After all, people usually see
about what they are looking for.
If we look for the good in our
neighbors and associates we can
usually find it, for, no matter how
bad a man is, there is always at
least a little good in him. And if
we go out looking for others
faults we can always find some
thing to criticize.

FRIDAY, JULY /, 1910
BOOSTING A BOOSTER

1t is often the case that unpleas-
ant things are said about the real
estate man. but the fact is he is a
power for good in his community
and should have the encouragement
and cooperation of every citizen
who is interested in the progress
and development of his communi-
ty.
No good business man ever crit
icised the stork for bringing into
his community a new being who
would in all probability be a life
time customer. On the other
hand, he is an honored and reyer-
ed bird, whose aid no town that
hopes or expects to grow can de-
spise.
The real estate man then plays
more important part than the
stork, for the new corners he
brings in are more fully develop
ed and able to work and add to
the development and conservation
of our resources and assist in ere
ating wealth. He is a producer
as we'll as q consumer and as rule
brings in some money from the
outside to add to the wealth of the
state and community.
The real estate man does more
to help create and maintain sub
stantial values than any other
man or score of men in the COM
munity. He is a booster and an
optimist whose work is never full
ly appreciated. He always looks
for the better things and was new
er known to be knocker.
While it is true the real estate
man usually makes a profit from
his labors, he only makes the one
profit, while the merchant, the
banker, the doctor, and, in fact,
nearly every other line of bust
ness, receives continuous income
from the result of his efforts.
The work of the real estate man
helps every man in the communi-
ty. Who else adyertises the COM
munity abroad and helps to keep
our advantages before the world
Should the real estate men of the
state all of one accord quit their
work absolutely, retrograde
movement and a depreciation of
values would probably result, for
the state would lose the biggest
bunch of boosters she ever had.

The Hundred Point Man
Ebert Hubbard Tells of the Kind Of Man Who Can
Write H. p After His Name

Elbert Hubbard in the New York
American: The other day wrote
to a banker friend inquiring as to the
responsibility OF certain person The
answer came hack thus: He is a
Hundred Point man in everything and
anything he undertakes
read the telegram, and then pin
ned it up over my desk. where could

my memory. / dreamed of it.
The next day showed the message
to fellow know pretty well. and
said, I'D rather have that said o..
me than TO be called a great this or
that.
Oliver Wendell Holmes has left on
record the statement that YOU could
not throw stone on Boston Com
mon without caroming on three poets,
two essayists and playwright.
Hundred Point Men are not so
plentiful.
Hundred-Point man is one who is
true to every trust; who keeps his
word; VINO is loyal to the firm that
employs him; who does not listen for
insult nor look for sights: VINO car
ries civil tongue in his head who
is polite to strangers, without being
fresh; who is considerate toward
servants. who is moderate in his
eating and drinking: who is willing
TO learn who is cautious and vet
courage ous
Hundred Point men may vary much
in ability, but this is always true
Ghey are safe men TO deal with.
whether drivers of drays. motormen.
clerks. cashiers. engineers or presi-
dents of railroads.
Paranoiacs are people who are sif-
fering from fatty enlargement of the
ego.
They want the best seats in the
synagogue; they demand bouquets,
compliments. obeisance, and, in order
10 see what the papers will say next
morning they sometimes obligingly
commit suicide.
The paranoiac is the antithesis OF
the Hundred-Point man. The parano-
lac imagines he is being wrongec, and
that some one has it in for him. and
that the world is down on him He
is given TO that which is strange,
peculiar, uncertain, eccentric and er-
ratio
The Hundred-Point man may not
look just like all other men. or dress
like them, or talk like them, but
what he does is true TO his own ma.
ture. He is himself.
He is more interested in doing his
work than in what other people will
say about it.
He does not consider the gallery
He acts his thought and thinks lit
tie of the act.

| never knew a Hundrad-Poi man
who was not brought up from ear
~ youth to make himself useful and
to economic in the matter of time
and money.
Necessity is ballast.
The paranoiac almost without ex-
cepfion, is one who has been made
exempt from work.
He has been petted, waited upon.
coddled. cared for. laughed at and
chucsled to.
The excellence OF the oldfashioned
big family was that no child got an
undue amount of attention.
The antique idea that the child
must work for his parents until the
day he was twenty-one was zeal bet
ter for the youth than to let him get
it into his head that his parents must
work for him.
Nature intended that We should all
be poor that We should earn our
bread every day before we eat It,
When you find the Hundred Point
man you will find one who lives Ike

no matter what his finances are.
Every man who thinks he has the
world By the tail. and is about 10

delectation of mankind. is unsafe, nc

line of specialties.
The Hundred Point man looks after
just one individual. and that is the
man under he own hat; he is one
who does not spend money until ne

knows that nothing is ever given for
nothing: who keeps his digits off 9TH
er peoples property.
When he does not know what to
say. he says nothing, and when he
does not know what to do, does not
do it.
We should mark on moral qualities
not merely mental attainments or
proficiency, because in the race OF
life only moral qualities count. We
should rate on judgment, application
and intent.
