Foundation OF Barnum's Success

Henry Barrett Chamberlain writing
in the Chicago Record H, raid, gives
an interesting story of the greatest
Snowman of them all. Z. T. Barnum.
Mr. Chamberlain says: Probably 70
modern advertiser has equaled the re-
sourcefulness of Bernum in attracting
attention, nor is it likely that his da--
ing methods would be countenar ced
t)day While there are many living
who ,emember his notable effort the
naming and exhibiting of General Tom
Thumb, the bringing of Jenny Lind to
America and the purchase Of Jumbo,
the great elephant his first effort is
not of such common knowledge. En-
barking in the show business in 1885,
on July Is of the following year he
wrote this description of his enter
prise: One of ths greatest curiosities
ever witnessed. viz, Joyce Heth, a
negress. 161 years old, who formerly
belonged to the father of General
Washington The andacity of this
gave Barnum recognized place with
the fraternity of showmea of the time
and enabled him to make moderate
success of his wandering exhibition,
consisting of odds and ends of ten per-
formances music .hall specialists and
attractions of various sorts until 1841,,
when he began his career as a musem
proprietor in New York at the corner
of Broadway and Ann street. There
was museum at this corner, but it
was profitIess concern until Barnum
induced a capitalist to furnish the
money for its purchase with the I'M
Outstanding that he was ITO have the
option to buy if he made it pay. He
made success by consistent advertis-
ing. spending every dollar of his
prohts except $500 year which he re-
served for his family expenses. He
printed pages in the newspapers about
the great moral show that he was
running, billed the whole town with
glaring posters and worked up such
business that he was givig twelve per-
form ances day and t rning people
way from his Coors.'

The Love Story OF George V.

Hardly had the betrothal of Prince
George and Princess Mary been an
nounced" says Philip Hume Forster IN
the Woman's Home Companion for
August when the future Queen of
England had opportunity to test her
sense of duty and her self-control.
While the Duke of Clarence had been
studying craftsmanship as heir to the
English throne, Prince George had been
slowly but surely advancing in the
royal navy. AS an admiral his flag
ship had been stationed off Malt, and
here he had met, wooed and won the
beautiful daughter of Admiral Sey-
mour. Before marrying her, Prince
George had written formal renunci-
alton of his claim to the throne of
England and for a few year had lived
very happily with the fair-haired, blue
eyed English wife VINO fitted from
colonial port to colonial port to meet
her royal husband. One winter they
spent in Bermuda, where they were
most popular with both English and
American residents.
when George found himself almost
at the foot of the throne through the
death of his brother, he realized that
it was one thing to renounce the
throne and another to have his renunci-
alton accepted. Queen Victoria and
all the political powers behind her in
sisted upon the anullment of the ro-
mantle marriage, so the engagement
IF Mary and George was Swallowed by
this ugly cloud. The young princess
did not indulge in Mysteries. There
Gere no recriminatlons nor unpleasant
scenes for Prince George to endure.
AS his wife, she believed that she
should and would be able to hold his
affections, and she went about the task
of winning the love of the man whom
fate had decided should lead her to the
thr ne. In fact it vas gene rally felt
IN Eae iand tina, sac ~tS more deeI ly
In love with Prince George than with
! his unfortunate brother.
1.-The morgantic wife of Prince
George was provided for, it is said, by
no less person than his mother, anC
since then no shadow of scandal has
ever entered the life of the young
couple"

MORE ADVICE FROM FLETCHER
Don't Eat Morsel Unless You Are
Hungry" Says the Great Masticator.

EAST AURORA, N. Y.-Horace
Fletcher is working out new theory.
1t is the psychology of hunger and ap-
petite. Horace Fletcher is million
aire. He is multimillionaire. Yet
here he was actually enjoying a feast
of fasting for the sake of science to
prove the psychology of hunger and
appetite. While the hue and cry of
the high cost of living reverberates
through the land this man, from statis-
tics. is already saving the country a
half million dollars per day in en-
deavoring to work out system
whereby less and less food will be re-
quired for the welfare of the people
and to produce actual results of health
giving.
I'VE eat too much," said Mr.. Fetch
er. I'VE steer in the wrong way. The
human is but machine--a corpomo-
bile. if you please. We need to learn
how to turn on the electric spark, and,
mark you, the steering gear is above
the guillotine line.
1T is absolutely wrong to take food
until you are hungry, and the hun
CRY man who cannot take time to eat
had better not eat. If you have but
two minutes to eat, eat carefully in
those two minutes.
Hunger is never expressed by any
sensation below the guillotine line.
You are the chauffeur of your corpo-
mobile. If there is watering of the
mouth for potato or anything as sub
stantial-that is hunger. Nature in
| sists on infinite variety, but the taste
of anything is evidence of chemical
change. Get the taste out of thing
and it will swallow itself.
I'm other words, taste the food at
the time of eating and you will not
need to taste it afterward. Do you
notice that when we eat We hold the
head down? This goes to show that
once we took our food on all fours.
| Further, we do not generally make
the most out of foods. If we should
all eat bread first until the appetite
was satisfied with that. then other
things, we would need only one-half
what we are now eating. The mind,
too, must be in an agreeable state.

The Farmer and the Motor Car.


The poor farmer, who has always
been a convenient scapegoat for every
body else's follies, is now being ham,
mered because he owns an automo-
bile. Yet there is no class of people
to whom an automobile may mean
more than to the farmer. We once
heard an old farmer remark that a
manure spreader was more necessary
on a farm than piano. When it
comes to a farmers chattels, it should
be understood that the automobile
doesn't come in the piano class of
luxuries. AS an implement it will be
classed after the traction pillow and in
opening up 425 million acres now in.
accessible it will rank next to the If.
rigation ditch. Wherever the automo
bile has gone it has done missionary
work for good roads and it will con
tinue to do that in the hands of the
twenty-five thousand farmers who now
own cars.-Leslies.

THE VALUE OF COLLEGE "FRATs"
A Statistical Showing Which Is Credit
able to the Greek Letter Boys.


able to the Greek Letter Boys.
At the request of President Nichols
of Dartmouth, the registrar of the col
lege. H. M. Tibbetts, has compiled
comprehensive statistics during the
past year as to the scholarship of the
student Dody. In these figures he
compares the marks of the different
classes, freshmen, sophomore, junior
and senior, and of the members Of
fraternities and of non-fraternity men.
The results are very interesting and
have attracted much attention from
both the educational and daily press.
The average scholarship of the en-
tire college for the first semester of
the past year was found to be 70.6; Of
the freshmen, 66.3; sophomores, $50;
juniors, III; seniors, 1863; showing a
natural steady advance as the idle or
dull are weeded out by the standards
of requirements.
In another table the average of the
men in college belonging to fraterni-
ties is shown to be 6S.37 and of the
non-fraternity men, 1856; which is at
once seized upon by the opponents of
fraternities as a strong argument
against that feature of college life.
Not so. much is said about another
table in which are compared the schol-
arship records of the members of diff
erent fraternities by classes; but this
igives some evidence in favor Of the
societies.
Psi Epsilon, the Oldest fraternity at
Dartmouth, heads the table. The aver
age scholarship of its first year mem
bers is but sos, showing that men are
not chosen for it by reason OF their
records as students prior to entering
college for the sophomores the aver
age rises to 66.9; for the juniors to
Ill; while the average of the SEN
iors rises to SO6 or ten points higher
than the average for the whole col
lege.
To us these figures indicate that
the influence of the fraternity upon
it's members as regards scholarship
is good. A man is impelled to make
a creditable showing in the classroom
as well as upon the athletic field, not
only for his own honor, but for that OF
the fraternity. 1t is true that the boys
as they enter college are looked over
upon good fellow" basis, but once
enrolled upon the Chapter list the in
luence Of the older members and oil
the traditions of the fraternity is all
in the direction of better work on al
lines for the boys honored by an cleo
Ition-Concord Monitor.
