Deliberate Lie?

In Mr.. Arnold Haultain's new biog-
raphy Of GoIdwin Smith there is a fun
ny story OF the late duke Of Cam
bridge. 1t is pretty well known that
in his old age his royal highness de-
veloped habit Of thinking aloud that
was sometimes rather awkward for
those near him. He was particularly
inclined to this when in church, and
it was quite common thing to hear
gruff, loud comment issue from his,
pew when everybody else was silent.
On one occasion he was present at.
the marriage of some princess or other
to an impecunious German prince OF
whom the duke apparently did not ap-
prove. The ceremony was proceeding
smoothly, and the bridegroom repeat
ed the words: with all my worldly
goods thee endow." Suddenly the
duke raped out: Rubbish! Why,
the boots he's standing in. amt paid

Importation From United States to
England Shows an Enormous
Increase.

London.-The spring fur sales indi-
cate that there has been an enormous
increase in the import Of skunk skins
from the United States. The supply

Over four million musquash skins
have been sold on the London market.
The fashionable skunk fur comes next,
with total sale Of two million skins.
Prices have been lower than last
season. Musquash have sold for about
80 cents each; good skunk for from
$3.50 to s6; silver fox for from SOU

Not so long ago Jack London was
lunching with lends in Philadelphia.
When the fish course arrived he
caused a semi-panic among the wait

entirely raw.
The novelist ate it that way with
much relish, telling his friends that
compared with cooked fish, the raw
article was just as delicious as raw
oyster or a clam.

Ourselves

Henry Ford says: Initiative,
perseverance, courage and all
other attributes of business sue
cess are secondary to the attribute
OF thoroughness. Thoroughness
is the most important business
principle that any man can learn.
Doubtless Mr.. Ford spoke from
experience. To the door of his
thoroughness he evidently lays
the vast success OF his wonderful
manufactures.
We Americans are too apt to
put thoroughness in a second
place. We want speed. We want
to canter before we can crawl.
We begin putting the finishing
touches to our plans before we
have laid solid groundwork and
tested its masonry. And then we
wonder why our castles, backed
by a perfect tidal wave of initia-
tive, Napoleonic courage and dog
gedness, cave in at the centre.
Be thorough. Whatever you I'M
dertake, let il be done simply,
thoroughly. Feel while doing Ii
that it is the ONE thing in life
you want TO accomplish, we'll,
thoroughly
You may progress like the IA
bled tortoise. But gain your end
you will.
