VALUE OF SYSTEM.

Whether h Working or Thinking h
 Helps on to Success.
 Working or thinking without system enfeebles the mind and leaves the mental faculties in clogged condi- Eon, so that they do not work sharply. The mind must be kept clear and clean for the present problem. so that 1t may seize and grasp with all its might the thing 1t is attempting to accom- plish.
 There is only one best way to learn how to act. That way is the way or system. Systematize your thoughts your energies. your abilities. Learn early fin life to do this, and it will prove the master habit that wins suc- cess.
 Systemless men are always surprised that the heads of great enterprises can find so much time for social life, for hobbies, for travel. They cannot understand 1t at all. They do not realize that a man of great organizing ability, with a splendid system. can do more effective business in single hour at his office than a systemless man can accomplish in twelve. It is not the number of hours. hut the ef- fecfiveness of the system, that tells. One of the advantages of college course is that 1t trains the mind to work by system. Whether he likes to or not, the student Is forced to con- centrate his mind when the time comes, no matter what his mood or how he feels. Four years of training in this should put the mind into work fug order. It should tune the intellect so that all the strings will be in harmony. A good college education should train the mind to think con- ciseIy, deeply, effectively at will Orison Swett Marden in Success Maga- zine.

Some Mxstsriss of presa.

We have wondered at the popularity of the fez in the east in spite of its ap- parent unsuitability to eastern suns. Sir Charles Eliot has some obseFya' tons which are in point. Dress in the east is a matter determined by rank or race and is not amected by such trifies as climate or temperature. Some people think it proper to go about almost naked. others bury them selves under a mountain of clothes, but all would scorn the idea of putting on an oyercoat because 1t was cold or leaving of a fur lined robe because the thermometer was at 90 degrees In the shade" These remarks are made in connection with the Bulgarian w0m- ems gala cOshume-white linen gown with woolen embroidery on skirt and sleeve. various sleeveless garments over this and above all thick quilted jacket and voluminous sash. In all this they will perform the national dance throughout a blazing afternoon. Pail Mall Gazette.

 Patti once was waited upon at her hotel by famous minstrel magnate, Colonel J. H. Haverly, whose ambition had been aroused to secure the diva for a concert tour under his direction. Madame received him most graciousIy. and the two began discussing the de tails.
 'May l ask your terms for fifty nights, Mime. Patti?" Haverly asked.

 "For concert" Haverly replied. -Four thousand a night, or $2O0O00 for fifty nights. one-half to be depos- ited on signing the contract" was Paths deliberate response.

POLITICS DAY BY DAY

William ]. Bryan is still resentful of

saying:
II fear the investigation will prove a
farce. If the banking committee begins
at once and makes a prompt and
thorough investigation, 1 shall be both
surprised and delighted.
cit is the misfortune of the party to
have some members who can be misled
by Wall street. and it Is still greater
misfortune to have some members who
are as completely under the control of
the predatory interests as any of the
republicans.
THE money trust did not want any
investigation at ALL When it could not
prevent an investigation it then sought
to secure an investigation by the bank

democrats whose sympathies are with
the money trust. Representative Henry
has made a splendid fight, and his efforts
