A SUCCESS STORY.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

n SUN~ES9 S4VMt.
This is a short story of success about
John NJ Smythe, merchant prince OF
Chicago.
Success stories are all alike.
The bloom and flower of great pros
perity nearly always grow out OF the
rich muck Of poverty and narrow con-
ditions That is why success stories
are usually alike.
The steady progress of a success
full man is from beneath upward.
When Mr.. Smythe died few weeks
ago he left a monument to his success
full labors in the largest concern OF its
kind In the world
He built the big store for $3.50.
That is all the money Mr. Smythe
had when he started his business in a
little hole in the wall on the west side.
And that $3.50 he had saved a dime
at time.
| Compelled to go to work at the age
OF thirteen in order to support wild
owed mother and younger children,
there is no gloss Of romance on this
tale of sordid poverty and small saw
ings and short dinners.
Romance and modern business sell
dom go together.
| Smythe was the pioneer In Chicago
/ OF the household installment business
Not out OF philanthropy, but as a pure
ly business proposition, he put the
| credit OF the poor man on par with
| the cash of the rich man and thus en-
abled tens OF thousands of families Il
| start housekeeping
He had competitors.
But many OF his would be competi
tors tried to practice sharp methods
They charged all the traffic would bear
Some Of them lied, cheated, deceived.
These merchants could not prospe
alongside Smythe's honest methods
one price to all and big newspaper ad
vertising. His establishment soon be
came a synonym for fair dealing, bus
tie and achievement.
The proprietor became a scvera
times millionaire. The Irish boy VIII
started on $3.50. saved in dimes, grew
rich on his expressed motto that hon
esty is the best policy.
And that is the only real success.
!, Mr.. Smythe did good with his mon
ey. giving to charity and helpin
young men. His private life was Ell
emplary, and his home was everythin
to him.
But you say no American boy ca
do what John NJ. Smythe did.
, Yes, he can-if he will pay the pric,
The price OF such success is har
work. study Of business conditions. d.
votion to details, honesty. a cheerfr
spirit and liberal advertising.

WILL CLEAN OUT
1ST MARKET FORCE
Men Employed to Sweep Build
ing Declared Drunken and
Worthless Lot.
ONLY CLERK TO REMAIN
Three Regulars TO Go and No
More Extras Will Be
Hired.

A general cleaning OUT of the
force supposed to clean out the First
market was ordered by the commit
tee on markets at the final meeting
o: that body Tuesday night. Clerk
sullivan was instructed to discharge
the three men on the market force
and not TO hire any more extras.
The men who viii be discharged
are G. E. Titmus, William O'Connors
and w. J. Dodd
ahe general order of dismissal fol-
lowed the complaint of several of the
committee members backed up BY
the charge of Superintendent of Street
Cleaning Henry Cohn. that the men
to be discharged are a worthless ind
CT unken lot. Councilman Hirschberg
even went so far as to say that one
man had been employed at the mar
ket when he was wanted on a war
rant charging him with stealing hose
couplings from that very building.
Mr.. COINS charges were embodied
In letter in which he declared that
the men spent more time in neigh
boring saloons than their work. Then
followed a general discussion en- the
Fart of the committeeman in which
the concensus of opinion seemed 10
be that CLERK Sullivan is the only city
cmpioye at the market who IS worthy
Of his hire.
MIR. Sullivan made a brief statement
before the committee to the effect that
he hsG been Ill for some time, and had
consequently been unable to spend as
much time at the market as ne would
have otherwise. The men. he said,
had evidently taken advantage OF his
absence to drink too much. He also
stated that two Of the men against
whom complaints had been registered
had come to him well recommended.
one by John l.. Saetterield. former
chairman OF the market committee,
and the other by Mr.. Donleavy. chair
man OF the present committee. Mr..
Donleavy replied that he had recon-
| mended the man only as q good work
| man under the proper kind Of boss.
He also reminded Captain Sullivan
that he had always advised him to
be guided entirely by his own judy
ment and experience in employing
help.
| 1t was finally decided that to elect
assistant market clerks who will take
the places of the regular Clerks when
| the latter are of duty Mr.. Il. G.
| Garrison was elected clerk OF the First
market and Oliver Jones for tho Sec
ond market.

WILL ''UPL|FT" STAGE
WITH 50 love POEM"
Loquacious Laura Likes the Amer
lean Brand of Love Making. No
Smoking for Here Heroines.

NEW YORK. August 3I-"New
Workers make love better than any
body in the world" according to Laura
Jean Libby. who is about to "upiitt"
the stage with sixty new plays. MI OF
which are real love poems" She de-
c!ared .o-day that she intends Ia put
on the real thing In her attractions
and believes the theatre going public
will welcome drama which is urged of
all doubtful situations. Mrs. Libby
has a few original views on marriage
also which she promises to exploit.
Marriage is like running for a
street car she said. You run and
you run, You get yourself much ex-
cited and all out or breath. Then
when YOU have caught the car, You
sink into your seat and you're not
excited any more. Marriage Is hap
piness for most people and 80 what Is
the use of showing up the few bad
unpleasant ones on the stage.
Love is to be the theme of all my
plays. No play should contain any
thing which any sweet young girl,
going to the theatre with her sweet
heart. would blush to see. Think how
embarrassing the situation Is for the
poor young things when doubtful
situations are SO publicly displayed.
or course they don't understand Il at
all but still they are embarrassed
And none of my heroines viii
smoke That is such an uniadylike,
such an unrefined practice, Think of
sweet young girl doing such thing.
Why 1t Is awful. and so 1t Is with that
other Notwithstanding. None OF
the women In my new PLAYS win
drink. Why It would lower them In
the eyes OF my heroes.
There VIII be mystery and unex-
pected happenings. but 1t will all turn
out we'll and they VIII be happy ever
after"
