He told me afterward that he had

to frenzy was his inability to lnarn

A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

So you are dissatisfied with the sort
OF work you are doing?
Or are you discouraged because you
do not make advancement or receive
more salary.
Did the thought ever strike you
that even if it be distasteful, it may
be part of a big plan that you should
learn this particular thing before you
get the position you want most?
Try this out Learn every detail of
your job accurately and then work for
speed, if your task be nothing more
than clipping the ends off the enyel-
opes. Perfection first, and then the
fastest man on your job.
When you have accomplished this
much, how long do YOU think it will
be before you are recognized as ready
for place higher up?
Before you complain follow this plan
and don't stop by the stroke of the
clock either. You label yourself more
effectively by watching the clock than
in any other way, and you will find
the proprietor, the owner and manager
do not measure their services that
way. Imagine what they would do in
your place.
This method is bound to advance
you to success.

Craft Turned Out BY Clyde
ShipbuiIding Works

Monday the steam yacht Warrior.
Derthed at Pier IL today. will be
moved TO the weather side of Pier s.
This will be her permanent berth dur
ing her stay in this port
The yachts owner and sole passen-
ger, Alexander Smith Cochran, put in
a busy day today writing letters 20
his New York friends telling of the
voyage here and giving his first inn
pressions of the islands. The War
rior arrived yesterday afternoon from
New York. via the Canal, as reported
by the Star Bulletin in its $3.50 edi-
ton
Cochran says he has no plans and
dislikes publicity. He read in a maya
zine at his New York club month
ago OF the delights of surf bathing at
Waikiki, so made up his mind to come
here and see for himself what the
famous beach is like.
Built in Scotland in 1904, the War
rior is the finest yacht ever turned out
by George L. Watson, the famous
Clyde .shipbuilder, who built several of
the cup racing yachts Shamrock She
is 29S feet long over all, her gross
tonnage is 1896 and she can accommo.
GATE a dozen guests comfortably.
Beautiful weather on the voyage up
from the Canal was reported by N. a.

ton to the master: J. Swanson, chief

The Warrior is estimated to have
cost, with her splendid furnishings,
close to half million dollars. She
flies the pennant Of the New York
Yacht Club and carries two one.
FOUNDER guns amidships, one on each
side, for saluting purposes. The yacht
burns coal. She took on about 300 tons
at Colon,
J OFFICERS of the pleasure craft believe
she viii be here two or three weeks.
William X Vanderbilt is said to have
been the Warriors former owner. She
was piloted in yesterday by Capt M.

pilots.
