WYE are ruled by our habits.
wv First we form our habits,
and then our habits form us,
We are what We are on account

once, there is tendency in the
brain to do ii again If continued,
we get the habit; that is. we do the
thing without thinking. lust as
matter Of course. Thus does habit
become second nature.

to enter which requires extraor-
binary talent and years of applica-

But it does not follow that some
answer can not be given. The best
answer is tWofold In the first
place, one great use of such a man
as Poincare is the stimulation
which he imparts to the average
human being He awakes the am
bitiOn Of the race by showing Of
what It is capable He is the man
on the top of the apparently mac
cessible mountain, who, by his
mere presence there, shows to
others the possibility of ascending
it. He Is like the late Edward
Whymper waving his cap from the
summit of the terrible Matterhorn.
Anybody with good wind and
strong muscles can ascend the
Matterhorn now, because the way
is known.
But Poincare would never have
given an impetus to his fellow be-
ings if he had not, like Newton
before him, and like all great men,
disclaimed the possession of any
superhuman power Newton said
that all he had done seemed to him
but as the picking up of a pebble

Writes on
How To Build a For
No. 6.---Getting Rich in a
Hurry
Bv THOMAS TAPER.

When any one wants you to put
your money into proposition that
will make you wealthy in a few
weeks, refuse to have anything to
do with it. as a matter of princi-
pie. 1t can not be done Rosy as
the dream is, it is still a rosy dream
and nothing more.
One of the fundamental rules Of
investment is, the higher the inter
est yield, the greater the risk.
Bonds of the most conservative
character, with the highest guaran-
tee as to safety OF principal, yield
in the neighborhood of four per
cent; sometimes a fraction less or
more.
When some one quietly slips YOU
information that you can come in.
on the inside, and get 80 per cent.
or thereabouts-don't go in. All
the doors are locked, and when
they throw the victims out of the
back window their pockets are
turned inside out.
III.
The banker puts It this vsv:
Judlcious investment is the art ~
making the most of your money
WITHOUT EXPOSING 1T TO
THE RISK OF LOSS.
Be Patient the Great Rule.
That kind of safety has to he
paid for in small interest returns.
You may feel that at the rate
your surplus funds get into the
bank you will never get rich. Re-
member the remark Of the humble
tndividual-you will never get Door
either. The great rule is "be ma
tient."
In an interview recently Mr.. An
drew Carnegie is reported to have
said this:
The trouble with many men of
small means is that they will never
make beginning, and keep putting
off the time when they have nu-
cleus for investing. The goal of
the wage Garner in saving should
be to acquire $1,000. PRUDENT
INVESTING OF SMALL SUMS
will help him to obtain this first
$1,000. Money grows surprisingly.
and if you have none now try the
experiment I suggest of getting
$1,000 and see II I am not right"
Notice that Mr.. Carnegie speaks
Of PRUDENT investing-of what?
Of small sums.

y The Use of a Great Man =
one H@' Recently Died Franc" and People Are WHAT
BY GARRETT P. sERvIss.

y GRAND funeral was given in
n Paris some weeks ago to
Henri Poincare, of whom,
probably, many readers of these
lines have never heard. The pro
cession to the grave was imposing.
There marched bareheaded.
through the streets, between side
walks crowded with spectators,
most Of whom also respectfully re-
moved their hats, a long double line
OF the most distinguished living
FTenchmen When the grave was
reached impressive dfscourses were
pronounced by NJ. Guist'hau. who
spoke for the government and the
university; by NJ. CIaretie. who rep
resented the famous Academic
Franchise; by NJ. Painleve. who was
the mouthpiece Of the Academy of
Sciences, and by many others whose
names are better known to the
public than was that Of the subject
OF their discourses.
All the newspapers were filed
with praise Of the dead man and
all the illustrated journals printed
portraits of him. Everybody was
assured, and the assurance was re-
peated from mouth to mouth. that
France had lost one of her great
est lights whose renoWn would H.
lustrate the pages of her history.
Everybody felt proud because his
country had produced so mighty a
genius.
But a singular fact soon became
evident, viz. that among the hun
dreds Of thousands who repeated
the praise Of this immense genius
hardly any one had a definite idea
Of what he was or OF what he had
done. They only knew that. some
how, he had been A GREAT MAN.
During his lifetime It was said
that there were only two or three
men in all Europe who could com
prehend him
1t Is almost certain that among
those who pronounced eulogiums at
his tomb there was none who could
follow his work with complete I'M
derstanding Most Of them did not
know even the Abe Of It.
Who He Was.
For Henri Poincare was very
great mathematician, perhaps the
greatest since Laplace and La
grange, whom Napoleon, with his
vast practical genius, could not un-
derstand. For most people mathe-
MATES. in its higher forms, is

Naturally, then, after the first
sensation caused by the departure
of this great genius had died away.
the question began to be asked:
What was he good for. after all?"
The question has been asked, and
rather indefinitely answered, In
many newspapers. 1t can not be
answered by giving a list Of his
1900 works, for even the most pop
ular of them. like the book on Sci
ence and Hypothesis" are fun of
things which only the expert can

TIME statement has recently
L been made that in one year
the American people con-
trtbuted about seventy seven mil
lions of dollars to various fake in
vestment schemes. This means
that they dropped the money down
hole, expecting IT to rush up
again in golden shower Instead
men at the other end of the hole
carrying away the precious stuff in
baskets-for they, too, have fami-
lies to support.
The seventy seven millions Of the
preceding parag aph was not the
entire annual crop. This sum was
paid over to the get quick
concerns that were closed up by the
postoffice department. There were
many others that did business
without using the mails and were
undisturbed.
Why is it so easy to sell worth
less paper?
Answer No. People want to
get rich in hurry.
Answer No. Golden promises
make golden dreams. The thing is
so bright we actually are fascI-
mated by it, So we put real money
into golden dream, and then we
wake up.
A promoter was talking one day
to an humble individual who did
not seem to know much.
How do you invest your saw
ings?" asked the promoter.
IT put them in a savings bank"
said the man.

We'll, you will never get rich
that way" the promoter said.
No" answered the humble indi-
vidual, probably not, but I'll never
get poor that way either"
In view of the countless ways Of
investing money which promise
nothing less than marvellous re-
turns" it takes good type Of mind
to stick to simple. direct ways of
saving. The seventy seven millions,
Of which we have been speaking,
was not the money of rich men. 1t

ford to lose Ito widows, and to

self, while for the majority of men
it was but flash in the night
which showed them nothing. His
successors, guided by the glimpses
he had. will make it all clear, and
thus the domain of knowledge will
be extended.
Additions to knowledge.
In the second place. the useful
ness of such a man as Poincare
consists in the actual additions
that he made to knowledge These
additions were purely mathemati-
cal and incapable Of popular ex-
PLANTATION, but there are men who
can understand them. and who.
with THEIR successors. will. upon
the basis which he left, erect new
editice of science which all can en-
ter and admire. There was a time
when NewtOn's "Principia" was As
far beyond the intellectual reach Of
the average man as Poincare's
most abstruse work is today. but
now thanks to the advance which
it, itself, inspired any boy in col
lege, with a mathematical gift and
proper application, can read the
whole "Principia" Understandings
In fact, it has been displaced by
more recent work, just as Poin-
cares achievements will be super
seeded in the future.
Great men of this stamp are the
pioneers of the human intellect, and
happy is the country that can pro-
duce one In a century. 1t is the
Napoleons, whose work is easily
understood, that get the great
monuments; it is these other gen
fuses, whose own times hardly
know them, that uplift the race.
