THE MAN WHO WINS

The man who wins is an average man;
Not built on any peculiar plan,
Not blest with any peculiar luck;
Just steady and earnest and full of pluck.
When asked question he does not guess
He knows and answers mo- or 'yes;'
When set task that the rest can't do,
He buckles down until he's put it through.
Three things he's learned; that the man who tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes,
That it pays to know more than one thing well;
That it doesn't pay all he knows to TELL
So he works and waits, till one fine day
There's better job with bigger pay,
And the men who shrked whenever they could
Are bossed by the man whose work made good.
For the man who wins is the man who works.
Who neither labor nor trouble shrks,
Who uses his hands, his heads, his eyes;
The man who wins is the man who tries.
Charles R. Barrett.

That the children enjoy these ad-

To the difficulty in another city the follow
ing plan is being considered: The street company
sells round trip tickets to the big parks for two cents
good between the hours of eight and ten in the
ing and covering return between the hours of three
to five in the evenings. Five cents is not much to
some but it means much to poor families number

home through dull Sabbath separate and run the
chance of growing apart in those many little things
which form the foundation for the making of happy

JAPANESE "ADDlNe MACHINE"
Oriental Bank Clerk Beats American on
LONG Column of Eiaures.
From the Tacoma Ledger.

FROM the Tacoma Ledger,
At O meeting Of the Tacoma chapter
of the American Institute Of Bank
Clerks the other night a Japanese
clerk, using a "saroban," put ii all
over a Tacoma bank clerk using a
modern adding MACHINE in casting up
a long column Of figures.
The Japanese, with his ''saroban,"
did the arithmetictl stunt in 80 sec
onds, while the bank clerk, with his
modern adding machine, took "a sec
n d TO obtain a total and afterward
1T was found the clerk of the modern
adding machine had made an error.
while h Japanese with mis- little aba
Gus or "saroban" obtained the correct
result the first time. In another test
the japanese might make an error, as
did the bank clerk. However, ii is sig
Lif1cant that the Japanese did not err
and that he obtained a correct result
far more quickly, though he used an
ancient arithmetical device.
The japanese that won the contest
in adding was once a clerk in a bank at
Osaka, Japan. He disclaims being an
expert in adding, and says many jap
anese are much faster on the "~saroban"
than he. The little old-fashioned add
ing machine used by the Japanese is
what we call an abacus. Years ago in
u public school rooms the abacus
used to hang on the wall, and it was
sometimes used in the study Of arith-
metic. II is not used much nowadays,
thought 1t would appear from the speed
and accuracy of the Japanese that it
might be employed with good results.
The abscns is very ancient. 1t was
used by the Egyptians and Greeks In a
form similar TO that now used in ia
pan, China, Arabia and Russia. The
word is traced through the Greek 10 a
word meaning dust" 1t is said that
dust was spread upon board and tina
numerals were inscribed In the dust.
The victory of the Tacoma Japanese
with his "saroban' over one OF our
bank clerks with a modern adding ma
chine Is not IA exceptional instance.
A few months ago. when the Japanese
commercial commissioners visited the
United States. a contest was held in
which a Japanese came out ahead In
a calculation contest In which he used
an abacus.
