LIES SUCCESS.

Success nearly always means CIV
ING UP SOMETHING to GET SOME
THING ELSE.
Ten years today is devoted to prepa-
ration for forty years tomorrow.
The muscles of the athlete are strain
ed and wearied lifting a weight in
order that they may be able to carry
the same weight WITH GREATER
EASE thereafter; and the skillful adj
vertiser spends a hundred dollars in
October to get a hundred and fifty in
January.
And always the near-sighted man
who is afraid to spend the hundred
the sluggard who lacks the vim to
exercise, and the saphead who avoids
mental preparation, go drifting down
together to where Charon ushers all
human by-products into the presence
of Chemos, Mammon, Moloch. Belial
and CAelzebub.
For failure is hell. and the tortures
of Dives are for those who have nc
sacrifices.
To make sacrifice of what YOU
have TODAY for what you will want
TOMORROW is to exchange hostages
with fortune, and the only hostage that
fortune will accept Is one that repre-.
sents PRIyATION, PAIN Or EN-.
ERGY.
More than that. success itself is rel
alive, and can be measured only b,
what 1t has COST. We get from life
only what we give to it. and the mar
who has no friends is the one who ha.
never gone to the trouble to show
himself friendly.
Hence we have the rule: To ge
brains, use WHAT YOU HAVE; t,
earn friends, spend FRIENDLINESS
to gain leisure. sacrifice TIME; to con
quer the world, SERVE 1T.

CAUSE OF CANCER IN CHINA
Eating Of Stean1ing fiot FOOD Respor'
sibIe for Prevalence Of Disease
Among Men.

In China, when a native family sits
down to dine, the men of the house
held and the male guests, if there re
any, ere served first. Their food
comes to them steaming hot. The
women must wait until later to Re
served, and by that time the food mas
grown cooler. The inen commence to
eat Immediately the disnes OF steam
ing hot food are set before them.
Rice, COW peas and other tnlngs are
bolted hot. The women have to be
satisfied with only lukewarm dishes.
Sc much for etiquette. Now for the
consequences. In China cancer of the
oesophasus, or throat, is common
among men. Among Chinese women
the disease is very rare; practically
unknown.
Al. Of this, and more, was reported
by DR.. e. D. Bashfo-d at the recent
annual meeting Of the Imperial Can
GER Research Fund held in London. lie
said. in referring to the alarming IN
roads made by cancer among China
men, that the frequency Of the disease
would be diminished if such practices
as the eating of very hot rice were
discontinued. The rice the women
eat is cool and non-irritattng, anQ
they rarely contract cancer.

STORY OF A WANT AD.
II Required Nineteen Years 70 Accom-.
piiSh its Mission Of Publicity.

On the morning of September 8
1893, the following advertisement
appeared in the Lost and found
column of the Chicago Tribune:
"LOST-Sept. 6, in Ladies' Toilet
Marine cafe, Worlds Fair, three
rings: 500 reward will be paid to
party returning same to Manager
Wankesha Hotel, near 65th St. Ell
trance. or Mrs. H. c. Turner, 1901
Bird Ave, Louisville, Ky"
After lapse of nineteen years
this little want adj has proved the
means Of restoring to Mrs. Turner
her lost jewelry. The story makes
very pretty romance.
Mrs. Turner at the time she lost
her gems was a visitor at the great
Worlds Fair which was then in pro-
gress in Chicago. Mrs. B. L. Marks.
Of San Francisco, also a visitor at the
big exposition, found them. She
advertised for the owner but re-
ceived no response. MRS. Turner
returned to Louisville and failed to
see Mrs. Marks advertisement.
She had long abandoned all expecta-
tion of ever recovering her rings
again, nor is it in the least likelv
that she would have done so had not
an Illinois man named McFadden
decided to go west.
McFadden made the trip in his
farm wagon, over the top Of which
he had stretched a tarpaulin, con-
verting it into prairie schooner.
The floor of the wagon was in bad
condition. SO McFadden laid news
papers over it to keep out draughts.
He journeyed from place to place
searching for donicile, and finally
after a very wearing trip he reached
San Francisco. His team by that
time was in miserable condition, and
fell into the hands Of the authorities.
Horses and wagon were Turned over
to B. L. Marks: a livesyman, for
care and attention.
While the wagon was being cleaned
out Marks noticed by chance that
one of of the newspapers taken from
it was a Chicago Tribune, and apon
picking it up he discovered that Il e
date was the 9th of September, 1898,
and he recalled that it was just at
the time that he and his wife had
been visitors at the Worlds Fair.
and out of idle curiosity he turned
to the Lost and Found" department
to see if possibly there might be any
thing there about the rings his wife
had found. There his eye lighted
upon the advertisement above.
A letter written to the chief OF
police Of Louisville soon put Mrs.
Marks in correspondence with Mrs.
Turner, who had removed to a su-
burb of the Kentucky city, and the
long lost jewels were restored. It
had taken some time for the want
ad" to do its work in this particular
rase, but even then, the jewels being
valued by Mrs. Turner at 81, 800 she
IS very well satisfied with the invest
ment.
