HOW THE RAoMAN SUCCEEDED.

HOW The 3RAGMAN SUCCEEDED.
The ragman made Us his spring visit
ihe other day. and in return for our
Winter accumulation OF rags, bottles,
old lron,n rendered US small sum. o:
money which, according to neighhori
hood custom, ne have invested ID
plants and flower seeds. Il
= We call him the ragman. but right.
luily he should be called the rugboy.
FOR he is not yet twenty years old!
And yet, he has been In charge OF the
business, driving his own cart and hi.
own bargains, ever since he was thIr.
teen, and doing 1t, moreover, with
such SUCCESS that t=suspect he is de
cldedly more prosperous than many
OF the customers from whose dirty eel
lars he cheeriully removes ali kinds
CT rubbish. g
In the course Of his last visit We
asked him this rather unusual ragmap
II business was good sthis year, and
ne ayelre d thur Ii was. inen ne aul
ed that business always good with
him. and explained hat this was bs
cause he treated people squarely. 81

out just about this way: II you treat
people good, you'll succeed. because
they want to see you again and thar
makes business. But IL you try tc
skin them. you may win out the frs
time, but You'll get yours IN the end,
Now. the ragman was not express
ing n precept OF ethics with no foun
dation In real life. He probably doesn't
know what ethics means. He was
simply telling what his experience as
q ragman had taught hlm-that the
square deal pays.
One of the most successful business
men know said TO me the other day:
81 never did business primarily fol
money" Knowing something about
his career I,belleve him. He Is ,bak.

than financial success i
''Ineyer chose the right thing when
had to inick between what knew
was right and what seemed experient
without finding that the right thing
turned out TO be experient In the end,
says another business man. He, too
has been successful in almost every.
thing he has taken7up. t
fWmther IS aitthis tendlng?n YOU
may ask. Simply to this, my friends:
llihlnk. are all.apt to, have the-idea
that one mans success in business
means another mans failure, and that
the dishonest, or. att best. the over.

can make money Nowadays. Now, that
may be true as regards the vast for

ENGLISH MASSES

Club of Observations
Made in England.

That the common people of England
are gradually getting more of their
rights and privileges and that the
movement in that country could be
compared, in a way, to the Progress

was the substance of the address de.
Hvered before the regular meeting OF

"The rights of the common people
ere being recognized by the aristoc
racy of England said Mr.. Hill
Lloyd George is doing a great deal
OF good work in that country, and is
the leader of the masses, and the
champion of the oppressed. His re-
form movement is gathering impetus
constantly. The large estates are be
ing cut up into smaller estates and
the property rights of the common
people are being established"
A report of what the Commercial
club has done in the water works mat
ter was submitted to the organization
by Henry Gennett, chairman of the
public service committee. The report
explained the work the club did In
this matter, what suggestions it had
made to the board of public works
and the city council, and what it in
tends to do in the future towards as
sisting the city in securing an equit
able franchise. Mr.. Gennett's report
was concurred in by the club.

which refreshments were served, fol

suffer and public Improvements be-
come thing Of the past.
The plain fact is that the interests
of the farmer and the home merchant
are mutual. They are partners in the
business of production and distribution
in the upbuilding and maintenance of
the best possible home market. And
the best home market is one that buys
everything the farmer has to sell at
top market prices, and sells him every
thing he needs at fair competitive
prices.
Therefore Mr.. Farmer, stand by
your home merchants now as you
would expect them to stand by you.
In doing this you are conserving your
own best interests. FARMER.

stops. Do they circle around greater
central body, which in turn belongs
again to a greater system? 90 these
systems-ever increasing in numbers
and mensions-eontinue indefinitely?
We do not know, but logically they
could. There is the space for them.
The space of the universe is endless.
it can not be otherwise. Suppose we
follow a perfectly straight line from
our old earth off into space. We can
follow only with our imagination. But
we could not even imagine a end to it.
If we did, it would only mark the be-
ginning of an otside. Our imaginary
line would run forth into it. There is
no outside to the universe.
1t is also the same with eternity
And there is not only eternity if we
look forward into the future, there is
also eternity backward into the past
The fight of time passed uninterrupt-
edly on before creation, just as it does
now, and will pass on after all crea-
ton is gone. Time never had be
ginning and never will have an end.
Space is endless and time is eternal,
it cannot be otherwise, but this very
fact battles our geometrical and mathe-
matical rules and conceptions.
Space and time are no things, mean
ing no substance, although. they are
great factors in connection with our
universe
Both have always been and will al
ways be, they were never created and
consequently can never be destroyed
