On the floor of the gold working
room in the United States mint at
Philadelphia there is q wooden lattice
work which is taken up when the
floor is swept and the fine particles
of gold dust-valued at thousands OF
dollars yearly-are thus saved.
Every successful man must have a
similar network to catch rasp-
ings and parings of existence, those
leavings Of days and bits of hours
which most people sweep into the
waste of life.
One man becomes rich by means of
tribes which others throw away
scraps of leather, cotton waste, Stag,
iron filings. hoofs and horns of cat
tie. abandoned mines, abandoned
farms. One man rises to fame by
means of the odd moments" that an
other regards as useless. Each has
the same number of hours In his day.
The difference lies IN the use to which
the hours are put.
From the same material one man
builds a palace. another a howell. One
surrounds himself with comforts and
luxuries and another lives in poverty
and obscurity. But there is no ia
voritism with Fate In her distribution
Of time.
1t Is astonishing how much valuable
information, charging. broadening
material, person can pick up IN
scattered bits Of time. This habit OF
absorbing knowledge. the observing
habit. the study habit, Is worth more
to a youth than q college education.
for the inquiring, hungering mind is
always gathering and absorbing VAL
liable Information. always looking for
methods Of self-improvement
Every minute Of every day we can
be imbibing knowledge. gathering in
spiration and. suggestion here and
there by keeping our eyes and ears
open. Then. when we are not busy.
we can be working mp this knowledge
into higher forms through thinking
and reflection. II Is not difficult to
form the habit of self-improvement
and the result is often amazing. In
even a short time.
The world grants all opportunities
to him who can use them. Power and
fortune are hidden away In the hours
and moments as they pass. awaiting
the eye that can see. the ear that can
hear. the hand that can do.

PoiPs-.Inside the Line..~


Just after war was declared In Europe
last year Jane Gerson, buyer Of French
frocks for 0 big department store In
New York, arrived at Gibraltar. inside
the English lines, She had trunkful of
clothes from Paris, whence she had
brought them by night, past rows and
rows of sentries, and the one thing In
Life that seemed worth while 70 her was
to get those gowns home to New York.
For II she got them there ahead Of the
other buyers, the grouchy head of the
firm would be convinced that she was not
too young. not too inexperienced. to be
a successful Paris buyer-and so she
could hold down her job. But at Gibral-
tar Miss Gersou ran into Capt. Wood
house, whom she had met three months
before in Berlin. and after that Capt.
woodhouse became more important than
the gowns
Capt Wocdhouse. however. swoTe Miss
Gerson to secrecy about this former
meeting; and she found out that he was
supposed to have been In Egypt for seven
years. When she saw him getting deeper
and deeper into difficulties as a spy in
the service Of a German secret society,
her faith in him was tried TO the limit
But It held, and In the end-that's where
the big surprise of the play comes in.

THE GARY SCHOOLS;
~..,-, IDEALS REALIZED

Gary, Indiana, is not a large city.
But it is likely one can see ideals Of
modern education realized more fully
there than in any other place in the
world, according to M. V. O'Shea, a
magazine writer.
There are gymnasiums and swim
ming pools in most of the buildings.
There are number of Fairgrounds
about two acres EACH
Moving pictures are exhibited in
the school buildings free to the chill
dren and to the public
All work is exceedingly practical.
For instance, the boys in the turning
department make their own baseball
bats, Indian clubs, stools for the lab
oratories, and various articles for use
in the home. In the paint shop pu-
pills stain the teachers desks and
paint articles of furniture made in
manual training classes. The laun-
dry and sewing departments are run
in conjunction and earn money which
is utilized to paying instructors and
helpers in these departments. To
the cobbling department children
bring shoes that need to be repaired,
and pupils get practical experience
In the blacksmith shops pupils re-
pair articles used by themselves or at
their homes. They make the iron
work for the playground apparatus,
and shoe horses belonging to the
school department. At the same time
they are taught the principles un-
derlying each kind Of work.
There are laboratories for botany,
physics, chemistry, electricity, bac-
teriology and zoology. There are
studios for music and art. All the
regular subjects of instruction, such
as arithmetic, German, Latin, his
tory and geography are taught in a
practical way. For instance, bank
ing arithmetic is taught by an ac-
tual state bank operating in the
schools. This bank is under the
state bank examiner the same as any
other state bank, but pupils of the
school are officers and customers.
They deposit money and draw on
their accounts to pay for their
luncheons, their book rentals, etc.

The forty-two years since Mr.. Buck
man located in the vicinity of Little
Falls have been employed in activi-

When Clarence B. Buckman came
to Little Falls in 1872 he took up
a homestead in Morrison county,
proved up on his claim and his en-
terprise as a farmer was the founda-
tion of his commercial success. He
continued to buy land until at one
time he owned 1, 400 acres, all under
cultivation. Between 1878 and 1906
practically all this time has devoted
to the management of his agricul-
tural interests. During that time he
