Why Carnegie Succeeded.
Roger w. Babson, in the Saturda.
Evening Post.


This rave me an opportunity to ask Mr..
Carnegie what / have always wanted to
ask him-that is, how he made his money.
Of course l nave my ideas; but / wanted
to hear the answer from him direct.
Quick as a flash, as though in heated de-
bate, he flung back his key to kingship:
Concentration" said he. 1t has often
been written that I made my money by
taking chances-by scrapping machinery,
even though almost new, for some i'm
proved invention; but these explanations
never appealed to me. Before / scrapped
any machine and again the twinkle came
into his eye. Il took good care to nave
working models of the new machine set up
and proved. No, Mr.. Babson; the way I
made my money was by concentrating
doing one thing at a time, and trying to
do it better and more efficiently than any
one else. The trouble with most business
men is that they mix themselves up in
too many things. There's nothing in it.
1.-The way to succeed is to select some
definite line of work-ho..ce ever small and
insignificant it may appear to be--to
know more about that than anyone else
knows, and to let outside things alone. 1
succeeded by doing one thing at a time
and doing it well. Then after l had ac-
romplished one j~ob-developed a certain
kind of rail or angle iron-I would turn
to making something else. Meantime l
saved my money and kept my health"

Telling the Neiahbors.

Judge Crane hit upon an acute and far
reaching distinction In dealing with that
Freeport couple to whom he decreed q six
months trial separation, during which
they shall sleep and eat apart in the same
house. Judge Crane explained to this
quarrelIng pair that 1t was not unusual for
married people to quarrel, but that the
trouble In their case was hat they had
told the %neighbors about it.
Half the quarrels are made on Just that
issue. 1t is not that husbands and wives
find 1t impossible to forgive each other
when they have been foolish or wicked.
The thing that holds them back, 10 times
who knows about the trouble may think
that the husband Is not master in his oWn
house, or that the wife is a weak spirited
creature and does not properly respect
herself to be so put upon.
Young people who marry and move
away, so that "inlaws' only make occa-
their new home, commonly weather the
storm of adjustment to new and trying
conditions. They can misunderstood, and
be foolish or hot tempered or silly about
1t. and yet kiss and make up, so long as
nobody saw what they did or heard what
they said in their outburst OF exaspera-
, ton.
But where there is a motherinlaw in the
house, to observe when her son or her
daughter is not treated as Well as he or
she Is entitled to be, look out for trouble
unless that woman is blessed with the
wisdom of three Solomons and the retic-
ence of the dumb. The woman who can
look the Otnef way Wnen ner pet laHnp lS
being abused ought to have a halo of
special size and b%rilliance in the next
world. There is no reward in this one
> equal to her rare merit.
And next to relations for making trouble
come the neighbors. They are absolyed
from all responsibility in the matter. and
they are quite free to sweeten their morn
ing coffee with all the appetizing details
of how Mr.. Smith came home the worse
for wear and how he struck Mrs. Smith
when she protested against his going to
bed with his boots on, or OF how Mrs.
Smith lay in bed and let him get his own
breakfast, because he had said that her
graham rolls ought to be sent to the
plumber for stock. Commonly, indeed,
the %neighbors can make themselves happy
pver differences far less pointed thar
these, and the only persons who suffer in
the end from the discussion are those who
were foolish enough to confide their trou-
bles and seek sympathy.
There are, of course, real differences ano
suffering in married life for which a sep,
hration is justifable. But there are 10 OF
the kind which time will heal to one OF
the incurable sort, and when one OF these
augmented quarrels gets to "a court house
the parties to it are fortunate, indeed, i
they find on the bench a philosopher o.
The Crane type.

More and more fascinated, I stared at

Whole story from such fragments as
he knew?
But even yet" I stammered, 81 do

no poison. How could it have killed

ton. But there is one great differ
ence. About the first drawer, there is
nothing to harm any one; the other is
guarded by the deadliest poison the
world has ever known. Observe me,
gentlemen!"
Impelled by an excitement so in
tense as to be almost painful, 1 had
risen from my chair and drawn near to
him. AS he spoke. he bent above the
desk and pressed three fingers along
the right edge. There was a sharp
click, and a section of the inlay fell
outward, forming a handle, just as I
had seen it do OF the other side Of the
desk.
M. Pigot hesitated an instant-any
man would have hesitated before that
awful risk!-then. catching the handle
firmly with his armoured hand, he
drew it quickly out.
There was a sharp clash, as of steel
on steel, and the drawer stood open.

all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou-

The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if

about four ounces of Jad Salts from

The Farmers Opportunity.
From the Minneapolis Journal.

FROM the minneapolis journal.
This is the farmers day. 1t only re-
mains for him to make the most of 1t. The
demand for food SUITS is his opportunity.
There Is sound economic reason for the
other grains. The various official investi-
cations set on foot will scarcely be able
to blink the facts that support the mar
kets. Speculation there is. no doubt, and
this nay AVE some temporary influence
on prices one way or the other. But the
upward trend of the past few months has
been caused by the steady depletion Of our
surpluses to feed combatants and nom
combatants in Europe.
If the allies batter open the way through
the Dardanelles, 1t will let out some Rus
sian wheat, no doubt. Argentina's crop is
also to be reckoned with. There are other
factors hat may influence the situation
must take his chances on these factors.
But nothing can prevent the farmers from
receiving high prices for what grain they
have remaining Ga51 nor 81 aaything pre-
What of thu future? Doubtless. a huge
acreage of wheat and corn will be planted
by the time the seed is all In. This is the
natural effect Of high price levels, and Is
to be expected.
But what about live stock? Here is a
wonderful opportunity for sound, profit
Eight years ago there were $1,000 900 cat
tie in this country. valued at almost $500
100000. A year ago we had less than 49,
N0,9GO cattle, but their value had Increased
81, $50, 100000. Despite the growth Of popu-
lation, our beef supply goes down and it's
value goes up. ]. Ogden Armour is right
when he says:
"There is no problem before this nation
today more important than the rehabi1ita-
ton of the beef industry. The farmer
must receive practical encouragement to
put the beef cattle back on his lands and
to conduct his business in such a way that
the cattle and agricultural branches will
balance so that there Will be an ample
object in the success of each"
| Cattle and hogs, balanced against the
great agricultural c~rops-that is the true
opportunity Of the sagactous farmer.

Lost Love-.

Who wins her love shall lose her,
Who loses her shall gain;
For still the spirit wooes her
A soul without a stain.
And memory still pursues her
With %longings not in vain!
He loses who gains her,
Who watch day by day
The dust Of time that stains her,
The griefs th-t leave her gray,
The flesh that yet erchains her.
Whose grace hath passed away!
oh. happier he who gains not
The love some seem to gain;
The Joy that custom stains not
Shall still with him remain;
The lo%velinesf that Wanes not,
The love that nc'er can wane.
In dreams she grows not older,
The lands of Dream among;
Though all the world a colder,
Though all the songs be sung;
In dreams dotl ne behold her,
Still fair and kind and young.

navy are Of three diameters-14 inch, s
inch and 81 inch-and they vary in
length from is feet to Is feet. AS soon
