TEN BUSINESS COMMANDMENTS

Christopher E. Town, sesreta-
nv for commercial education at
the London chamber of COM
merce, addressing the students
of Kilburn grammar school last
night, offered them ten business
commandments:
Il. Work hard. Persever-
ance is a great conqueror of diff
culties. Let your work be your
hobby.
q. Do not be a Stacker or get
lax. Pay attention to your health
to cleanliness and personal ap-
pearance.
IS. Work Systematically, and
for everything have well con-
sidered plan, leaving nothing to
chance.
"A. Improve your education.
Get knowledge.
''5. Do your very best at all
times in the position you may be
placed, and it will lead to some
thing better.
IS. Be courageous and fear
nothing.
Y. Cultivate thought and
memory.
g. Remember the value of
time and never waste it.
%. By your behavior and
your work deserve the confidence
of those with whom you come in
to contact.
10. Endeavor to do more
than attain success; that is, de-
serve it. London Mirror.

Turkish coffee and then a nargile, a
sort of native pipe in which Shirza to.

coffee and the use of the nargile is
about cents. The coffee shop Quah-
wat Pasha is the "bourse" for the
native business people. Here the mer-
chants gather to discuss trade bills
and other subjects. Representatives
OF the banks ascertain here the num-
Der of bills to be taken up and secure

why COUNTRY EDITORS GET RICH

After a great deal of worry and
study we have at last figured out
how 80 many country editors get
rich. Here is the secret of their
success: There is a child born in
the neighborhood: The attending
physician gets $25. The editor
gives the loud youngster a great
send off and gets SO.
1t is christened and the minis
ter gets SIS and the editor gets
500. While it is growing into
womanhood, it enjoys the pleas
ures of clubs and social gathering,
etc. The editor prints a great
long string about them and gets
so 90. Then it marries. The edit
or publishes another long winded,
flowery article about ''the beauti-
full and accomplished bride" The
minister gets $40 and a piece Of
cake. The editor gets 500 90 and
the request to carry the groom's
subscription another year. In
the course of time she dies. The
doctor gets from SIS to 500 and
the minister gets from SIS to 500;
the editor publishes notice of
death and an obituary two columns
long, lodge resolutions, a lot of
poetry and a card of thanks and
gets 5000 90. No wonder so many
country editors get rich. CARR

A Night of Terror

Few nights are more terrible than that
of mother looking on her child choking
and gasping for breath during an attack
of Group and nothing in the house to re-
lieve it. Many mothers have passed
nights to terror in this situation. A lit
tie forethought will enable you to avoid
all this. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is certain cure for Group and has never
been known to fail. Keep it at hand.

After a careful perusal of the
newspapers and the news dis
patches from Washington, we
have reached the unalterable O.
pinion that we will have war with
Mexico Immediately and that we
will not have war with Mexico
under any contingency whatever.
From the unimpeachable authen-
ITCHY and trustworthiness of the
reports received it is impossible
to reach any other conclusion.
