MODERN BUSINESS.

The Big Jobs Demand Hustlsrs Whe
Are Gentlemen.
A notable change has taken place In
American business methods within
the last decade. Increasingly men Of
large affairs are asking when young
man is recommended for big job. rs
he a gentleman This is significant
In two ways II means that the big
business men are themselves gentle
men and ike to deal with men who
speak their own language and that
American business methods have
grown to be such that the gentleman
hes an advantage.
There was a time when a man who
was a hustler could be a cad ii he liked
and ii did not hurt his chances much.
But that time has passed The big
business men OF today want young
men who are taetful, intelligent indie
pendent. vet unassuming; who would
know how to talk to a diplomat and
be at home 10 a good club; who could
be trusted to behave kindly. honorably
and discreetly in any situation Of life;
who. In short, have as their ideal the
old. never changing ideal Of the gen
tleman. Not everybody can define 1t.
but everybody knows it at sight
The gentleman, In short. can work
along the line Of least resistance. and
that is why he is wanted. --Bookkeeper.

wright preferred to sleep In a clump
Of cottonwoods about quarter Of a
mile or, and there he fixed himself
with his negro servant as bodyguard.
Neither the camp nor Wainwright was
disturbed during the night, but early
the next morning while Wainwright
was sitting on the ground with bis
back to a tree drinking his tin Of eof-
fee an arrow from an unseen foe en-
tered his neck at the right OF the
iugular vein and was driven with such
force as to impaie the victim to the
tree. The negro. believing bis master
was killed, ran to Spenoers camp and
gave the alarm.
Spencer and some Of his men rushed
over to Wainwright. Instead of being
dead Wainwright was not even seri-

or close to the point Of entrance and
then gently drew Wainwright's head
forward until he was released. The
victim suffered but little Inconvenience

good roads, following their automobile
excursion through the Lake Champlain

and, according to the St. Adams Mes

some rather positive ideas that Vermont
is behind New York in this very impor-
tant work and win be behind so long
as the road building is done by piecemeal
and without direct state management
The Franklin county delegation, with
the cooperation Of the state commits

and instructive information about this
subject; and it is evident that road
making will be one Of the chief features
Of the coming session, Vermont must
wake up to the needs Of the present
