or attains only a dead-ievel medioc-
rity Instead of becoming a master
in one line, he becomes botch In
many.
The successful gardener cuts off a
great number of promising buds ana
trims off many healthy branches
which at the time seems great sacrl-
fee; but he knows that the future
welfare of the tree or plant demands
this apparent waste. Experience has
taught him that the tree that is never
pruned produces small and inferior
fruit because the sap which would
have developed large and luscious
clusters upon a few branches has not
been sufficient to nourish many.
The florist finds it necessary to nip
many buds which would in time have
produced pretty flowers. but nothing
striking. nothing abuve the average,
in order that the sap which would
have gone to nourish a profusion or
inferior quality may be concentrated
upon the development of compare
lively small number of unusually
beautiful blossoms.
Like the chrysanthemum, which,
unattended. spreads out into stray
Cling, scrubby plant, bearing a great
number of small flowers, noted Meth
er for beauty nor for fragrance. but
which, when pruned and cultivated TO
it's fullest capacity-as, for instance,
the Japanese variety-yields perhaps
not more than one or two on each
plant, but blossoms of surprising size
and beauty; so, many young men and
women who put out numerous buds
amount to little or nothing in after
life, because. instead of pruning, trim
ming off here and there. they tried 70

HOROSCOPE.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IL, 1913.
When Jupiter smiles
Fair fortune beguiies.
HOROSCOPE.

This is q, day in which Jupiter alone
fs an friendly aspect and astrologers
counsel moderation in all the activi-
ties of business and social me.
Jupiter is in a position that Is read
as making a great omen against all
violations of treaties or contracts.
The day is on that account an I'M
lucky one for those who practise de-
ceit or treachery.
The power of the planet Is de-
clared to be strong for the express
sion of high ideals of national honor.
The prognostication is good for di-
plomacv and for international bust
ness affairs. =,
The sign is most fortunate for all
who seek employment or prefer
ment.
Favor and fortune are PROMISED III
dealings with persons in authority.
Tt is lucky day for negotiations
with bankers, or for conferences WIN
men in positions of power.
Athletes, wrestlers and all who de-
pend upon trained muscles should
lind this an suspicious day.
Physicins and surgeons should
benefit today, since the astral In
fiuences tend to give them an access
of knowledge and skill.
1t is held an suspicious time to
make efforts toward the improvement
If health Exercises of every sort
should be fortunate.
n is predicted that while Jupiter
will bring benefits to India, Eastern
europe will be the scene of many
disturbances. Ireland, Persia and
Russia, also, are under an augury

He had an dvocauon winch ne

fered, and that was the collection OF
old prints, woodcut engravings, queer
and ancient compositions, which as
a whole pictured forth what was the
old city of New York, even as far
back as the time Manhattan islani
was under the control Of the Dutch
As a banker he had opportunity &C.
casionally to see queer checks or
checks peculiarly drawn, especially
of the days when only very small
number of American citizens were
able to draw checks. He told me
once that he saw one OF the first
checks which passed through the
Bank of North America, at Philadel-
phia, which was the first institution
chartered as a bank. He once spoke
of a check for s1,500,0 900, which was
drawn by Jay Gould in favor OF
Commodore Garrison, and which Mr.
Gould scrubbed upon piece OF COM
mercial note paper, and he said tnat
it ought to be preserved by the
Gould family and framed as a
curiosity.
/ told Mr.. Tappen that the check
for $4,000, 900, approximately, when
was drawn by William H. vanderbilt
in 1884. with which to pay for the
purchase of the West Shore raiiroac;
had been framed and was preserved
among the traditional archives which
illustrate the early days Of the
Vanderbilt management of the new
York Central railroad.
These are very interesting as curl
osities,' Mr.. Tappan said. but think
the check drawn by Paul Tulane Is
in its phraseology and in the cir
cumstances which led to Mr.. Tulane's
drawing 1t unique in the history OF
American bank checks.
"I was told that Mr.. Tulane, who,
/ think. was a native of Princeton,
accumulated a very large fortune as
a merchant in New Orleans. Out OF
that fortune he contributed some
thing like two million dollars for the
founding of what has become as I'M
portant and influential a college as
any in the South. the Tulane UniVer-
sity of Louisiana.
For some reason, perhaps, home
sickness, Mr.. Tulane, after he had ac-
cumulated his fortune and founded,
in 1882, the Tulane university. dec1d-
ed to return to his boyhood home al
Princeton. AS he was known to be
a man of generosity he was appealed
to to subscribe to a fund designed, !
think. for the payment of the cost OF
a new religious building which was
to be constructed somewhere near
Princeton. He responded cheerfully
and gave $1,000.
Those who were soliciting sub
scriptions had bad luck, and aftel
some months they ventured to return

At 20 Sarah married Richard Bache,
a native of England and prominent
Philadelphia merchant at the time,
and thereafter she devoted her life to
the duties of mother of eight chill
dren. But with the outbreak Of the
Revolution she saw broader field for
her talents. and in 1880 she undertook
the work of supplying clothing. food
and necessary money for the destitute
Continental soldiers stationed In
Philadelphia. This meant the use of
all her persuasive faculties, and she
proudly wrote to her father at the
time that she had induced even the
Quakers, who did not believe in war,
and. therefore were reluctant about
aiding its victims. to contribute to her
good work.

grain of corn larger than itself up a
high wall, and, after many ailures,
finally bearing it in triumph to the

study probably.
Many people do not appreciate the
value of momentum, the wonderful
multiplying power and force which
come from pegging away in some
special line, and training ones self
for years to do one thing. inns
momentum increases just as a snow
ball adds to its size in rolling.

lect, how subtle his mind, or how
diversified his talents, If man lacks
concentration and continuity. his
manifold gifts will avail him but lit

An outrage has been prophesied for
Russia and this has been construed
to mean that man high in official
life will be assassinated.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
watch their health and avoid changes.
They have rather an anxious year be-
fore them, but they will prosper II
they attend strictly to business or
domestic affairs.
Children born on this day will be
restless. They will desire to travel
and will dislike hard work, but they
will have ability that will enable them
to get on in the world. Girls are

be unlucky in falling to fulfill their

Joanna Baiiie was born in Scotland
Just eighteen years after Sarah Bache
and has the distinction of having
written the best plays ever produced
by a woman. Her first play pub
lished anonymously, was thought to
be by Walter Scott and this fact led
to her acquaintance with the great
novelist-who referred to her as the
immortal Joanna. Their friendship
lasted for more than fifty years. The
thought of becoming a playwrite first
came to Joanna as an inspiration one
day when she was imprisoned by the
heat of summer afternoon and seat
ed by her mothers side doing needle
work"

The man who does not learn early
in life to focus his efforts, to central
ize his power, to fling his whole be-
ing into his career. will never achieve
marked success in anything. The
waste of life occasioned by trying to
do too many things at once is ap-
palling. No one is large enough to
be split up into many parts; and the
sooner a man can stamp this truth
upon bis mind the better his chances
for being profitable member of
society.
Goethe's motto: Two du Dist. sci
alles.' (Wherever thou art, be all
there!) would be an excellent one for
people who seem totally destitute of
the power of concentration.
Many a man would have been
success had he connected his rag
mentary efforts. Spasmodic discon-
nected attempts, without concentra-
ton and uncontrolled by any fixed
idea, will never bring success. 1t is
continuity of purpose alone that
achieves results. The ant carrying a

to Mr.. Tulane and to say to him
that they were still five thousand dol
lars shy of the amount needed and
that they hoped he would help them
to make this amount good. He did
not hesitate. He turned to his desk
and wrote a check for five thousand
dollars When his solicitors received
that check and read it they found
that it was made out in this way, as
nearly as / recollect:
PAY five thousand dollars to the
order of those who are shy that
amount for their COMPOUNDED old
church building
THE check was perfectly good. The
religious minded persons who solicit
ed it did not hesitate to accept it and
draw the money, but il was such a
curiosity that It was framed. and for
quite a while exposed in the office
of the bank upon which the draft
was drawn. 1t may be there now for
all I know"
