Success Talks To Men and Boys
THE HOBBY, RIDERS

By DR..
Madison
C..
Peters

wire When he made this proclama-
ton in 1876 it was thought that poor
Bell was crazy.
Edison Greatest Hobby Rider.
The greatest hobby rider of the age
is Edison. Among his many hobbies is
the photograph. When he first be-
gan to ride that hobby it refused to
say "specia." 1t dropped the so and
said "pecia" To produce the single
sound he needed something delicate
enough to receive impressions not
more than millionth part of an inch
in depth, and yet rigid enough to
carry the needle up and down, exactly
reproducing the vibrations which had
made the impressions. The scientists
told him there was no such substance
in existence. Then we must produce
it." insisted Edison. They declared
that it could not be done, because the
qualities which he demanded were In
consistent and exclusive of each other.
He declared it could be done. because
IT must be done. and he did it-but
Edison worked Is hours day for
seven months TO secure that single
sound.
McNiniey's Tariff Hobby
When major William Mckinley en-
tered congress, president Hayes ad-
vised him to become a specialist and
take up the tariff. Mckinley made
hobby of the tariff. became the fore
most authority of the subject and the
Mckinley tariff bill made William Nc
Kinley president of the United States
Pullman got a sleeping car hobby
and when he began to ride IL by turn
ing an abandoned car into sleeping
apartments everybody laughed at
'Pullman's folly
VanderbiIt's Error.
When Westinghouse came to Van
derbiIt with his air-brake. the railroad
magnate informed him that "he hadn't
time to talk to fools"
The successful worker today is he
who singles out from the vast number
of possible employments some hobby
and rides it. The specialist does not
have to look for job. the job is look
ing for him. Young's phrase, Time
deliberately thrown away applies TO
the man who attempts to know or do
everything. Have a hobby Stand for
something. Be somebody. Dare to be
singular. Dare to be laughed at

~ OLUMBUS rode a hobby from
a. court to court until he found
two Jews, Louis De Santangel
and Gabriel Sanchez, enormously rich
merchants, who supplied the funds
needed to fit out his carayals.
Morse, when riding his hobby. the
telegraph, congressman in Washing
ton laughed at him as IAN old fool
who wanted him to help him get a
bill through congress SO as to stretch
a wt-e from Baltimore 30 Washington
so that one fool over in BaItimo1 g
could talk to some other foo. over in
Washington.
When a little more than a hundred
yelrs ago, Robert Fulton launched MS
"ClermOnt' on the Hudson, thousands
Of people lined the shores to witness
whet they considered his folly
When a little more than hundred
years ago Oliver Evans predicted that
the time would soon come when the
the high pressure locomotive would
enable people who had breakfasted in
Washington to take supper in New
York, 200 miles away. nearly every
body regarded that prediction as evil
dence of the intellectual breakdown of
a brilliant mind.
Stephenson's "Madness.o
George Stephenson, father Of the
railway system, was badgered before
a meeting of the house of commons in
1925. 1t was limited that he was mad.
One of the most eminent scientists of
the time declared that lit was pre-
posterous in the extreme TO hold out
a prospect that the locomotive could
travel twice as fast as a stage coach"
People declared that Stephenson would
set the wheat fields on fire with his
steam engine and would put the
coach makers out of business.
Copernicus was called crazy when
he said that the earth moved round
the sun, and his book on the revolu-
ton of the heavenly bodies was pro-
hibited Gallileo, compelled to abjure
his hobby. still muttered under his
breath, The earth moves all the
same"
Franklin rode his hobby, electricity,
and when people sneered. .'Of VIVA {.

of a boy? He may become a man.

nome advertisements which the love-
lorn young man encounters on the
. street, in the car, at his office and in
his daily paper. has become a potent
factor in making benedicts. Furnish
ing homes for young married couples
has become SO prominent a feature in
: the furniture business that a New York
association claims to report upon the
! matrimonial prospects of young men in
various parts OF the city 1t receives a.
fair percentage from the sales Of fur
n1ture sold to persons whose names
have been furnished as candidates for
home making. To attract attention TO
their goods, furniture stores sometimes
offer substantial present generally a
bedroom suit, to young couple who
will be married in a front store window
on certain day. For this event the
store is in exhibition order, a great re-
ception follows the ceremony and hum
dreds of dollars worth of sales result
from the advertisement of the furni.
ture presented to the young married
couple.
"HOuse Beautiful. Displayed.
As furniture generally embraces all
kinds of house furnishings, including
upholstery, a popular way of advertis-
ing is to have model rooms furnished
for permanent exhibition. A house

large, uptodate furniture store Goods

There is no line of goods so per-
sistently before the inventor as house

list under this class is a long one
Among the novelties to be shown this
year are combination set of table and
chairs, a bureau with drawers that can

increasing number of flats and apart

adjustable beds are among tn. mose

So ingenious have some of these con-
tr1vances become that at a nanufac-
turers' banquet lately dealer offered
to nave built for Mrs Flat Dweller a
folding bed that could be transformed
into a bathtub with running water by
touching a spring. After the bath the
pressure of a button turns il into an
extension table for the family break

spring can be transformed into an up-

should be changed into rosewood cot

Furniture for Business.
The equipment of Libraries and of
fices occupies an important place in
furniture manufacture. The ever in

calls for colossal output of specially
constructed furniture which is con-

contented.

OF all three seems almost achieved. In
office furniture the new desks have

from the floor, which is a great SAM

replaces the high roll top in popular

The new desks are wonderfully inge-
