By THOMAS TAPER.

~ ONE years ago, at a party for
boys and girls, the hostess pre-
sented each guest with new
cent. She requested each one to
report the following year, when the
party met again, on the use of the
cent.
Only one had report to make
the next year. This was boy.
He had bought a package of rad
ish seeds. He planted the seeds in
the back yard at home, and by the
end of June he sold his crop for
Eighty Cents.
Next, he asked permission to use
a vacant lot, where he invested his
Eighty Cents in planting late beans
and kale. When this crop was
gathered and sold the boy had a
total of Four Dollars and Fifty
Cents.
But This Wasn't All.
This increase of the original cent
was not all that he had. He had
learned a good many things. He
had seen radishes, beans and kale
grow. but he had also seen the
smallest coin of his own realm in
crease four hundred and fifty times
right before his own eyes.
In the next four years, by follow
ing the same process in his spare
time. the Four Dollars and Fifty
Cents increased to over Two Hun
dred Dollars. With this money he
bought a piece of land and went
into the small gardening business
called truck farming.
His experience, up to date, began
with a one-cent piece, and 1t has
brought him to the point of owning
a piece of land. There is no rea-
son to suppose he will stop where
he is. On analysing a case Of this
kind we always find that the thing
the person is interested in is not
the increase of money alone, but
PROGRESS.
This boy began to do things, and
by doing things Systematically one
can build fortune and have a
good time doing it.
Success in fortune building, as in
everything else consists in sticking
to business and taking ten times
more trouble than seems necessary.
A recent article on South American
trade illustrates this. A commits

A Thing of the Past.

1t is the rule now of the good au-
toist never to use such language,
nor even resent coarse language
and epithet when applied by others.
If you sit at a wheel, you can
not afford to lose your temper. All
of the nerves you possess should be
used in carrying your machine
through to safety.

few hot words-that is a thing Of

longer considers himself a section

gers of travel; now we are begin
ming to understand Aristotle's die
tum to Alexander the Great; THE
enemies of an army are in its own
camp"
mans enemies are in his own
heart; his enemies are his limita-
tons, his impatience, his hot haste,
his desire to get even, his fear of
being injured or defrauded
Well has it been said: There is
no devil but fear"
There is something heroic about

n N a recent trip of about three
hundred miles through the
middle states by automobile,
l noted the uniform good nature,
patience and courtesy of the auto
mobile drivers.
Before the days of the Hepburn
bill we had fine phrase, to-wit:
"The Courtesies of the Road" This
meant a railroad pass. The ten
dency of the times wiped out that
particular kind of Courtesy" and
now the term means simply the
good will which gentlemen always
manifest toward each other when
they meet
Six years ago the automobile was
a plaything. Men who drove a ma
chine were more or less heroes;
also more or less brigands. The
spirit of the larrikin and the hood
lum sat at the wheel. If a farmer
did not get out of the way quick
enough there were shouts of Clear
the track!" Don't you know any
thing?" Whats the matter with
you?" Il will take a wheel off you
next"

Had Contempt For Autoists.
For a while we had a beautiful
contempt for the man with a ma

No chauffeur now will run over

he can help it. He keeps his ma

He is considerate for the feelings
of others.
There used to be an old Quaker
maxim running thus: IF I can do

me say it now. for I may not pass

other autoists will pass this way

ACQUIRE LINES, TO BE

LEADERS ARE DOUBTFUL
Harmony Between Postmaster and
President. Postal Head Says
the Investment Will Be
Improbable.
LEADERS ARE DOUBTFUL

washington, Jan. 16. - After Post
master General Hitchcock had been
eloseted with President Taft for more
than an hour an authoritative state
ment was made at the White House
that there had been no friction be-
tween the president and the postmas-
ter general over the latter's proposed
recommendation that the government
acquire and operate all telegraph lines
rs an adjunct Of the postal system.
Mr.. Hitchcock had been summoned
70 the White House shortly before
noon and there had been reports that
the president was annoyed over the
publication of the matter at this time.
It developed, however, that Mr.. Hitch
cock had called the matter to the pres
dents attention q year ago, but to
make more complete investigation
delay had been decided upon. Mr..
Hitchcock had intended to bring the
matter up again in recent cabinet ses-
sions, but press of other business had
prevented.
1t also was said that the postmaster
generals recommendation would go to
congress according to schedule to re-
ceive such consideration as the lead
ers of the house and senate saw fit
and without comment by the presi-
dent.
Speaker Champ Clark declared that
government ownership of the tele-
graph was too big subject to discuss
until all the details Of the postmaster
generals plans became known. DEM
0cratic Leader Underwood was retic-
ent, and Republican Leader Mann of
the house, treated the project gin
gerly.
Says Project Means Loss.
New York. Clarence H. Mackay,
president Of the Postal Telegraph
company declared that if the govern
ment took over the telegraph lines OF
the country as is desired by Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock, he believed the
investment would be improbable. He
said the cost would be enormous and
he did not believe the plan would be
carried out as long as there was com
petition in the telegraph business.
"The step would lead to taking over
the telephone lines ALSO" said Mr.,
Mckay. "The British government has
found this to be so. Two weeks ago
it took over the telephone lines In
England at an enormous expense.
''The telegraph and telephone lines
IN this country are worth from $4,000.
ooo, 900 to $S,O0O,000,oo0. This would
include the Independent telephone
companies, owning nearly $50O,0OO,OOo
Of property and having some 100000
stockholders. I venture to say that
they would be operated by the govern
ment at great annual loss, just as in
Great Britain, where the losses on the
telegraphs alone, up to date, are fig
ured at $175,000,000. Moreover, the
government would then be employing
hundreds of thousands of clerks, tele
phone girls, telegraph operators, man
ayers, etc. It would be colossal pc
