The Real Winners of Lawsuits.


Peter Mckenzie. the last of the old
Hudson Bay factors, had always a
great hatred and fear of lawsuits.
Il dined with Mr.. Mckenzie in Mon
treal not long ago" said mining en-
gineer of New York, and he reiterated
his dread of lawsuits, driving home his
point with a story.
He said that a certain Smith won a
case in the lower courts, the higher
courts, and the supreme court. Smith
was thus finally awarded, after seven
years of litigation, 100000.
when Smith heard the glad news he
sped to his lawyers
"'Hurrah.' he said. Gimme my
s5OO,OOO.'
Yes. 100000 was the award said
the lawyer, and at the same time he
handed Smith a dollar bill.
'But-whats this for?' Smith gasp
ed.
That's all that's left, Mr.. Smith,
explained the lawyer, after the deduc-
tion of my fee. the cost of the various
appeals and other expenses, which will
be duly rendered you in an itemized
account
Poor Smith studied the bill in his
hand.
"'Say, what's the matter with this?'
he demanded. is it bad? ?"-Minneap-

Poor Thompson.-Henry James, the
noted novelist, does not agree with
Colonel Roosevelt on the question of
large families. Small families, such as

verse.

Thompson who had fourteen children.

to take his children to the saashore for

Rules Laid Down BY Uncle to Guide

MY young nephew Henry" said I'm
Gle Hiram, has gone to work in a

his own row, and today he got letter
from another uncle who is interested
i'm him, as we all are, giving him some
sound advice in little set of rules in
tended to help him get on. and don't
know as l could have done any better
myself.
Il was going to draw up something
for him, but l tell him he couldn't do
better than to stick to them. See what
you think of them.
81. Work hard.
1T would be hard to improve on that,
wouldn't it? There is at least a fair
measure of sure success in that one
rule alone. With no other guide than
that a man would be sure to get some
where.
"2. Invent new ideas, and when you
have an idea don't say to the boss,
Don't you think but say, I think or
1T seems to me- and then ask him. If
you go at him first with a question he
will think you are in doubt about it
yourself and then he'll be inclined to
doubt it. Don't be afraid. You want to
be courageous and self-reliant without
being fresh or buttinsky.
Il don't know about the wisdom Of
writing slang to Henry. but the rule it
self Is sound clean through.
IS. Don't be afraid of having an
idea turned down. Invent another and
spring that.
quite correct. rule three. A man
never gets anywhere if he let's himself
be set back by the first zephyr.
a. Always be orderly and systema-
tic. Learn all the details you can lay
your hands on; they'll prove useful.
Don't waste peoples time foolishly, but
when there are things you really want
to know about don't he afraid to ask
wise questions.
Sound is rule four; wise counsel.
"5. Figure the whole thing as if 1t
was your own business and try to do
your work as if the success of the firm
depended on you.
"A stern winder, that last rule, told
Henry, forgetting for the moment my
own objection to slang; but really in
that last rule is contained all the rest
and all that anybody really needs to
know to command success. The man
of ability who can really forget him
self and devote himself solely to the
interests of the concern, why, he has
no need to bother himself about the
future.
Il tell Henry those rules are all good
and he ought to read them over at
least once a week until he gets them
firmly fixed in his mind; and that last
rule, rule five if were he, I'd get the
stenOgrapher in the office to pound out

Richmond, Va,
May 4. 1910.
Mr.. Frank Crews. Agency Supervisor,
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co.,
Richmond, Va.
Dear Sir
1t gives me pleasure to state that the
$4,000 policy which l have in the Mu-
tual Benefit Life Insurance Company is
the best policy that l have. | am car
rying a large amount of insurance in
number of other companies, but | like
none of them so well as the Mutual
Benefit. It's contract is simple and free
from restrictions, and my only regret
is that did not take out my insurance
at a younger age, for it would now all
be paid up. Every young man should
begin to take life insurance early in
life. In my mind there is nothing he
could do that would be more helpful to
him from a business standpoint, be-
cause this action on his part carries
with it the idea that he is beginning to
develop some of those sterling quail
ties such as forethought, prudence, and
high regard for obligations which are
necessary to make good business
man. In making a loan from a bank,
there is no better collateral than Mu-
tual Benefit policy, with its liberal cash
and loan values.
Wishing you and your Company
much success, l am,
Very truly yours.
