By THOMAS TAPER,

q ONE years ago. at party for
boys and girls, the hostess pre-
scented 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 a report to make
the next year. This was a 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 it 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 analyzing 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 a fortune and have
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
sion house in Peru received an or
der for a machine. 1t could give

his immediate vicinity will feel a
spirit of resentment and i'll will,
even for a little time, toward the
whole tribe of men who own buzz
wagons
This being true, every good auto
list now endeavors to spread good
will, courtesy, kindness, as he goes,
knowing that he probably will be
back this way again" and that
everything he gives out returns to
him in some form or another.
Thus do we get in degree a con-
summation of the brotherhood of
man, or the solidarity of the race.
The sentiment is not analysed, but
the idea that humanity is one, and
that we can not injure another
without injuring ourself, is finding
Judgment in the heart of the race.
Signs of the Road.
In Ohio, in one district. I noticed
at every sharp turn in the road. or
on a high hill, there were signs up

smile was, Good Boy-Shake!"
The man who devised those
short, sharp, epigr ammatic slogans
and then printed them on boards
and nailed these up on trees, tele-
graph poles and fences. was GER
tainly a benefactor of his kind.
All through that particular dis
trict we sort of felt kindly toward
everybody and waved our hands in
greeting at the passing machines
and people in their houses.
The good will that somebody
had given out was caught on our
wireless and passed along.

no information about it, and ~
once sent out an inquiry to New
York, London and Hamburg
Told What It Would Cost
Some months later the New York
inquiry brought the information
that such a machine would cost so
much and would be shipped at mr..
chaser's risk.
sThe London inquiry brought sim.
liar information. giving the price of
the machine in London: transpor-
tation charges at the purchasers
expense
The Hamburg inquiry brought
this information:
l. The price in Peruvian money
z The price including the de-.
livery at the point where the ma.
chine was to be set up.
3. A plan of the machine with
directions in Spanish for setting il
up.
T. Full information as to the ma
ture and care of the machine

stances show exactly how people.

While the fundamental rule in
fortune building is Save Money.
there is much more to it than
that.
Dreams Worth Nothing.
A little money has in many in
stances founded a biz business
And a little is enough if there is
thinking man back of it, for it is
the art of thinking that makes
money active, keeps it at work,
forces it to increase itself and the
business it is making.
The difference between turning a
New Penny into Eighty Cents
worth of radishes, and investing
One Hundred Dollars today in a
project that promises one thousand
per cent next week, is apparent to
every one.
The boy making a radish bed has
to perspire. The man expecting a
Hundred Dollars to make him rich
in week has only to sit down and
dream rosy dreams.
But when June comes the rad
ishes are worth Eighty Cents, and
the rosy dreams are worth moth
ing.

A Special Display of
Exquisite UndermuSlinS
In Honor of the June Brides

OF so much kindly interest, when so many pdItleo
and courtesies are being planned and given in her
honor, when in her whole life the world stops to
do her homage---s it amiss that we should catch
the spirit of the times and so arrange special dis
play of undermuslins in her honor?
We think not. Particularly now that our ct
forts have been SO fruitful, that we can show such
exquisite undermuslins, so many novelties that
have besides their neWness of design the charm OF
finest workmanship
There was time when the bride was COM
PEELED to spend long weeks and tedious months III

possess the daintiness and beauty that have ever
been the brides delight.

with all the pleasure that attends the sight OF one
novelty after another that is derived from the
choosing of one the exclusion of another.
They are all here.
Bridal Sets consisting of gown and combna-
ton suit of sheerest finest batiste adorned with
laces, embroderies and ribbons in ways that
brides of other years have never known. Here
is set that has as it's trimming motif shadow
laces---on the gown, they are worked into most
exquisite pointed medalliOns, the corset cover of
the combination is trimmed to MATCH the knick-
erbocker drawers have a deep flat flOunCe OF same
lace and new shower bouquet of ribbon roses
Another set is an example of the beauty of real
and heavy Clunv combined with French Nalen-
cieness and soft batste It's empire gown has the
fulness gathered into the finest hand made tuCks
The circular drawers of the combination show
deep inserts of the laCes.
Then, there are French Hand Embroidered
Sets---that owe their beauty to the nimble fingers
of real artists Every stitch in every seam has
been done by hand The designs of the enbrod-
cry are most elaborate, but worked out in dainty,
neat, floral patterns and sprays.
Crepe de chine sets and single pieces. The
crepe de chine has the weight that warrants
beauty and service after many washings. These
are in pink, light blue and white. Hand embroid-
cry is often seen; gowns with deep cream lace ia
bots, princess slips and pettcoats, with wide flat
founces of shadow laces and combination suits
with ribbon roses that showing the yellow pistils
are as like to nature as could be.
