RISING IN BUSINESS.
The Road to Success Is Easy For che
Exceptional Employee.

Mr.. Carnegie says: "The most valu-
able acquisition to his business which
an employer can obtain is an excep-
tional young man. There is no bar
gain so fruitful
BY the exceptional young man Mr..
Carnegie means the one who Is always
looking out for his employers inter-
ests, the young man who keeps his
eyes open. who is always trying to
make suggestions for improvements In
the business, who is always studying
for some better. simpler. more efficient
way of doing things.
The exceptional boy or young man is
the one whose main ambition is to
help along the business, to further his
employers interests in every possible
way; the one who stays after hours
during the busy season to help ont
wherever he can. The exceptional
young man is one who when any emer-
gency arises in the concern has val
liable suggestion for its solution. The
exceptional young man is the one who
settles difficulties among the other en-
ployees without rupture. who is al
ways trying to avoid friction, to keep
peace and harmony in the firm. He
encourages the dull boy or the boy
who cannot seem to get hold of the
business. He is always ready to give a
lift whenever needed and gives word
of cheer to the discouraged. The ex-
ceptional young man is the one who is
| always on the alert for business. who
is so polite and attentive and obliging
to his customers that everybody wants
to deal with him; who makes friends
for the firm, who adds dignity to- the

FRENCH LEGAL METHODS.
The Reconstruction of Crime and an
Added Traqedv


The archaic reconstruction Of a
crime, which is feature of French
judicial procedure. outlives all ridicule.
And yet an extraordinary case which
happened few days ago at Senles
should of itself suffice to make the re.
construction of the crime an impossi-
bility in the future
A man had quarrel with friend
and had shot him dead from his win
dow as he was passing In the street.
The other day the murderer, with
handouts on his wrists. was taken
from prison to the room from a win
dow of which he had shot and killed
his former friend. On the way from
prison the crowd had hooted and yelled
at the murderer, and the man was all
of tremble when he got up to his
room. He was given an unlOaded gun
and told to show the magistrate just
how he had committed the murder.
He took the gun, climbed on the foot
OF his bed. and, standing on the rail
as he had stood when he shot down
into the street. leaned forward and
took aim. But he was very nervous
He was hampered by his handouts.
His foot slipped, and he toppled head
first out of the window into the street
below and broke his neck.--Paris Let

ROYALTIES WHO PAWN JEWELS
(M. A. P.)


The ex-Sultan Abdul Aziz pawned
all his crown jewels for 100000
francs at the Mont de Piete at Paris,
and they were only just redeemed by
the Moorish government in time to
prevent their being sold with other
unredeemed goods.
The Sword of State, which is re-
garded in Servia as sacred relic,
was also pawned by former king,
while one well-known European mon.
arch found himself in such straitened
circumstances that the famous house
of Attenborough once, temporarily
had possession of all his old silver.
Queen Isabella was, however, the
most famous royalty who made no Sc
cret of the fact that she raised money
from the Jews upon the security OF
the portraits of her ancestors, which
hung on the walls as the Palace Ca
tile, her Partisan home. The royal
lady often declared how deeply she
was indebted to her royal forebears
for coming to her rescue and helping
her out of her financial predicaments
