Value of Time.

The most lamentable waste of the
ages is the squandering of time. This
does not mean in modern times that the
man who works IS hours a day, or who
is "early to bed and early to rise' will
pick all the plums. 1t does mean
that intelligent application to business
during certain hours of the day, and
the proper utilization of the feeting
moments between those hours automati-
eally set apart for the conduct of bust
ness by the pursuit of such avocations
as will add to the strength of mind and
body, distinguishes a successful man,
company or corporation from an unsuc-
cessful person or firm, says National
Hay and Grain Reporter
The value of minutes during business
hours as well as outside of business
hours to the thinking man has best been
illustrated to our mind by the STANDARD
Oil Co. and its methods of conducting
business. Every reader of this page is
aware that by virtue of recent deci-
sion of the United States supreme court
this company, composed of multitude
nous interests represented by subsidi
AIRY companies, has been ordered to re
solve itself into its component parts.
The public has not been taken into
the confidence of the Standard Oil Co.
but 1 have recently come into posses
sion of one little fact which forcibly
illustrates the Importance of time in the
minds of those who are at the head oil

There was only one inhabitant of

Taft whizzed by the original station
OF Taft. That one inhabitant was c.
A. Newlin. telegraph operator, who
had out a green light. which meant
clear track for the President.
The President, III all his travels,
had never before been through Taft,
Ind. While conducting his presi-
dental campaign he visited Anderson
one October evening. going In from
the east. and was then routed by way
of Rushville to Indianapolis. His re-
cent trip was the first time the Presi
dent has ever travelled over the Big
Four railroad between Anderson and
Indianapolis, and hat is why he al
ways missed Taft, Ind.
This Taft. Ind, is not a joke or q
creation since William H. Taft be
came President. The place or station
was named while Mr.. Taft was resi-
dent OF Cincinnati and preparing to
go to the Philippines as governor Of
the islands. Some one in the genera

the Spanish-American war, when II
became necessary to give names t.

Dan Roach, the head of the Buckeye
Pipe Line Co., an Indiana subsidiary
organization of the Standard Oil Co.,
was asked to appear at 26 Broadway
on a certain day, at a certain hour and
specified minute. Mr.. Roach was in
New York upon the date arranged, and
was at the headquarters of the com.

mission of the head of the company to
step out for few moments. In order
that he might certainly be at his APP
pointed place on time, one of the en-
ployes of the Standard Oil Co. was told
TO accompany him. When Mr.. Roach
returned to the directors room of the
Standard Oil Co.. he was two minutes
late to the second, and one of the Off
GERS of the directory spoke in reproach
full terms to him thus: "Mr Roach

Noted Health Expert Gives Reason
for Big Success in
Medicine.

Tremendous success has attended the
organization of the new Munyon
"Hope Cult" Professor Munyon
claims that he has secured more con-
verts than he even anticipated, and
says that his "Hope Cult" is growing
in leaps and bounds. 1t is said that the
total membership of the association
throughout the United States is now
well over the half million mark.
In statement for publication, Prof.
Munyon said:

and respondent person in this city. l
want to preach my new creed to them.
want to tell them about my new phi
losophy of health, which is the fruit of
a lifetime of study and experience in
dealing with sick folk.
81 want to expound the Great Truth
that have learned that there is more
curative power in an ounce of Hope
than in pounds of Dope. That sick
people should not take medicine except
as medium through which the great
curative power of Hope may be made
effective. Medicines are necessary in
the present state of the world prog

vigor with which to brace up the will
power. One knows, from the action of
the proper medicines, that he or she is
feeling better by this inspired hope
and faith, which complete the cure.
81 think that probably half mill
ion persons at least in the United
States have declared themselves cured
by my medicines, and 1 know that these
people have had the best remedies med
ical science had to offer. L have al
ways contended that if there is any
virtue in medicine my followers should
have the best, but verify believe that
more than one-half of those who have
been lifted to health from the bond
age of chronic illness, through taking
my medicines have been really cured
by the knowledge that they had the ut
most in medical lore at their command
and the Hope this inspired.

A Chicago lawyer tells of newly
elected squire in Minnesota, who was
much elated by his honors, but not
quite sure that he could sustain them
gracefully. So for some time previous
to his assumption of the office he hung
about the courts to get a tip now and
then as to legal procedure. One phrase
struck him particularly, and it was not
long before he had an opportunity to
utilize it.
When, sitting in judgment on his first
case, the testimony was all in and the
arguments made, his honor cleared his
throat and delivered himself of the
following:
"The court takes this case under ad
visement until next Thursday morning
when it will render a verdict in favor

and last there has been not a little
intermarriage between the races and
the Hawaiians and whites. both being

owners, have been drawn together in
a sort or solidarity. Both live largely
on the labor of Orientals and Euro

But still another class Of people in
Hawaii are able, owing to their land
holdings, to live in part without work
