doubt if anybody ever succeeded
without it.
The captain of industry. or great
business man, is habitual takcr OF

ton with his fellow-officials and ex-
pcrts. He does not build a factory
until he has long considered the
pros and cons, not only from his

conditions, it they are more COM
potent to decide than he is.
Directors of banks, and of other
financial institutions, do not allow
any official to take an important
action until he has taken counsel
with them and the majority OF opin-

Broadminded and successful cdu
Gators get together, and from con-

The Constitution OF the United
States requires the election of a
Cabinet, consisting of heads of de-

taken any important step without
the counsel of his Constitutional ad-
viscrs.

Advice, like any other good thing,

the ability OF the counselor TO advise.
There is not, and cannot be, any
rule governing the quality Of sd-

here as in all else. All one can do
is to select his advisers with dis

A successful business man is a
much better adviser in business
matters than would be professional
man of even greater ability. and an
experienced educator can frame a
curriculum better than can one who
has had no experience in education.
The sea captain is a much better ad-
wiser upon nautical matters than
would be either the business or pro-

ably be an unsafe counselor on bust

CRIME THAT WAS FLUSHED UP
Not Informed of Recent Dar- ing Robbery.

There was a robbery recently at a second street, that was not reported to the police, relates the Indianapolis News. Really there was no need to have the police cavorting about the place-the person who was robbed eX. pressed no wish for their assistance, and the stolen goods were recov- cred.
 The person who was robbed was a boy, just little fellow about eigh. or nine, or maybe seven months old it is very trying for an ordinary man 10 judge a baby's age. And this lit- tie person was playing on the front porch of his home at the time of tho robbery. He was in sort of corral about three feet high. with sides Of spindles, and having just the best time possible with his toys.
 And then the villain appeared. He was a villain with a fiat little nose and a fat little stomach, and he crert stealthily up and peer2d inquisitively through the spindles at the very lit tie boy, and the very little boy peered ont at him with that air of world-old wisdom peculiar to the very little folk.
 The fiat litr.e nose was thrust be- tween two of the spindles. and the fat little stomach followed in due course, and then their owner. little brindle prp, was within the corral. Possibly he was little thief by na- ture. or possibly he was a victim Of sudden temptation. But anyway, he stole the toys of that very little boy, one by one and carried them over to the front porch of his home next door, where he was having the best time possible when he was discovered and the spoils of his expedition taken from him and returned to their right full owner.
