SHE DIDN'T KNOW THE JUDGE
Therefore the Buyer OF Antiques OBJ
taIned the Old Fender for
Half Price.

Eben Googins keeps small, lit
tered shop on Main street. His mod
,st sign reads, Second Hand Fur
niture," instead Of the more impos-
ing legend, antiques" but his un-
lerstanding of the psychology of the
sntiquary is worthy of wider field.
"What is the price of this!" asked
customer, braced for the conyen-
tional war of words with pawnbrok-
rrs and antique dealers, whom she
had grown expert in beating down.
But her challenge did not draw the
conventional retort from Eben. He
fingered the wrought-iron fender she
had unearthed from between mas
sive and yalueless yenecred high-boy
and a broken spinning-wheel, and
said, with a covert and calculating
eve upon her:
"Did YOU ever know Judge Allen
of Foxcroft!"
Judge Allen, the great man Of a
little town, who had inherited a
widely famed collection of antique
furniture, and had enlarged it gem
erously. was known TO the bargain
hunter by reputation only.
'You were not acquainted with
the judge? Then the price of the
fender is 81"
But WHY" asked the bargain
hunter. wondering whether she was
being favored with an example Of
Yankee humor or Yankee shrewd-
meas. and bewildered by this abrupt
method of closing a trade.

TALKING LOSES MANY A JOB
Man Who Succeeds Is Not He Who
Spends the Working Hours
In Conversation.

Conversation has lost many a man
his job. The man who spends part
of his working hours in conversation
.decentralizes his energies, weakcns
his ability TO concentrate and pours
sand into the machinery of the insti-
tuition.
The man who puts ''the punch"
into his work is not the man who
gossips with the man at the neigh
boring desk, or who hangs around
corridors and corner cigar stores in
dulging in idle conversation.
The man who makes the toilet
room of an office building a social
resort never gets 10 the top of the
ladder. The toilet room orator NAV
be popular with the drones of the in
'stitution, but il is always observed
that he has neither influence nor
money TO lend. He is generally tha
kind of man who tries to use pull"
TO get a raise.
Failure in life is the result of the
abuse of opportunity and maIinger-
ing. 1t is the man who keeps busy
WHO keeps healthy. and only tho
healthy in mind and body rise to the
top.
Some men are so busy looking for
help that they forget TO help them
selves.
The only pull" that counts in
getting closer TO the goal of success
is the pull that comes from per-
sonal effort on ones own behalf. nhil-
ity and push.
The man who e1pends his energies
in expatiating on the merits of this
or that baseball club robs himself of
the energy required to seize opportu-
mites and adyance.-The Mediator.
