ONLY ONE ROAD TO SUCCESS
Choose Your Work According to Your
Qualifications and Have Conf
dence In Your Ability.

The woman who believes in herself
can accomplish things that to her tim
id-minded sister would be impossible.
Perhaps nowhere is confidence so es-
sential as in the business world, and
the girl or woman who aspires to a
business career, yet has no confidence
In her ability to succeed, had better
seek some other means of livelihood.
A seemingly impossible task may
confront one, but should the person
to whom such a task falls lose confl-
dence the result nine times out OF
ten Is failure. Most difficulties are
difficulties on the surface only. Conf
dence, grit and common sense are a
trio that cannot be beaten. Why not
apply a generous application OF all
three to the difficulty which looms up
before you and make you faint hearted
and almost helpless?
The most successful people in all
lines of human endeayor are, as a
rule, people who believe in themselves.
Many of these people have few adj
vantages, but by sheer will power
confidence in their ability-they sue
coed. Confidence Is needed more to-
day than ever before.
It's an old saw, and true one,
that you cannot fit a square peg into
a round hole" Many women are do.
ing, or trying to do. work for which
they are not fitted. The girl who has
an aptitude for sewing, can blend col
ors harmoniously and knows what
good lines are, should never be adj
yised to study stenography. Such a
girl would develop into flrst-class
dressmaker, but as stenographer she
would never reach a very high stand
ard.
Such women-the right women in
the wrong work-always lack conf
dence; yet the wise person will study
her qualifications, and If she finds
herself not equal to the work she
has accepted, will try to secure po-
sition suited to her ability.
Most of us can do something fair.
ly well, and II we find the work con-
genial, the only logical course to fol-
low Is to bring our very best efforts
into that work, and we must believe
in ourselves If the work is to be done
smoothly and we'll.
Study your ability; improve; believe
in yourself, and you will surely sue
coed. Women who have confidence
are generally successful and happy
oII kr, he
past experience you know how doubt
has retarded your ability. Then use
will power-believe in yourself, and
life will be worth while.-Philadelph

Unique Document.

In the american Magazine" Prof.
Charles Downer Hazen tells some
ludicrous incidents of the Franco
Prusslan war, describing a document
that is modern curiosity:
Cohesion was lacking, as were num-
bers," he says. MANY generals were
sent to command troops with which
they were entirely unacquainted.
'Not only soldiers, but sometimes
generals went astray, unable to find
their places. Have arrived at Bel
fort telegraphed General Hichel on
July 81. can't find my brigade; can't
find the general of the division. What
shall l do? Don't know where my
regiments are This document Is prob
ably unique in military records. An
other general hunted for his artillery
staff; another for cavalry corps
which did not exist"

Under the Country Sky

Tenderly sweet the days go by,
Lovingly still are the nights that
flow
Under the spell of the country sky
Far in a land of Long Ago.
Stars and moon and the silver lake,
Under the country sky, oh make
Heart and the soul Of us one and
one!
Noise and hatred and all things vile
Sink and fade as the hours go by;
Dreams at the gates of the valley
smile
Under the spell of the country sky.
Whistle of quail where the young
wheat swings,
A hermit thrush in the western
wood
Love in the gates of the valley sings,
And the spell of the country sky is
good.
Wandering winds from the balmy
south,
Fairy feet on the hills 60 by;
Love with a red rose in her mouth,
Under the spell of the country sky.
Keep me tight in your arms of rest,
Oh quiet land of the dreams of men
The grassy hill and the valleys breast,
And the spell of the country sky
again.
-Folger McKinsey in Baltimore Sun.

Some Things That Are New.

To facilitate night photography
fashlight gun has been invented that
operates a camera shutter at the in
slant the light is at its brightest.
According to Vienna throat special
list yawning is beneficial exercise as
1t brings all the respiratory muscles
of the throat and chest into action.
Polarizing apparatus has been in
vented in Germany for examining
glass intended for scientific purposes
for defects due to improper or irregu-
lar cooling.
The principle of the spring shade
roller has been employed in device
that almost automatically keeps mems
idle neckties clean and smooth.
Most of the carpets made In India
are woven by boys, who are told by
men watching them how many knots
of each color to tie to the warp, g
single row at time.
Individual tenders for each front
wheel of notorious, so mounted as to
always be In position for use, have
been invented by resident of Lon

Sleeping car berths have been In
vented with end sections that can be
lifted to give occupants room enough
to stand erect when undressing or

War Raises Drua Prices.

The big war In Europe is helping to
make it costly, II not criminal, to be
Ill these days. The proverbial ounce
of prevention is not only better than a
pound of cure, but 1t is hundred times
cheaper. The war has added from 25
to 300 per cent to the consumers cost
Of these drugs, and many of them
entirely disappeared from the mar
ket-cannot be obtained at any price.
In many instances no sign of lower
prices appears. In others there is
certainty that diminishing supply
must result In the most outlandish
price figures. Factors in staple drugs
affected by the war are, they insist,
endeavoring to conserve the limited
quantities they have by fixing prohibit
tive figures-not for the purpose of
gouging the consumer, but to make 1t
possible to hold on to enough of the
precious products to supply emergen-
cies. Veronal, its solutions and com
pounds has almost disappeared from
the market, and antipyrin, to be had
in only moderate quantities, has ad.
vanced from IS cents to SIS per ounce

Patience see that the first baby
born in Lorraine, o., will receive from
merchants of the town gifts including
a theater pass for life and corsets or

USE HAS
 OWN DRAWBACKS
Uncle Sam Taking An Interest in the
 Thirst of Arizonans.

PHOENIX, May Where there were formerly from forty to fifty cases at each term of the United States court in Tucson, for trial on charges of selling whiskey to Indians, there is not a single case on the dock ct the present term of court said United States Marshal J P. Dillon, who came up from that city yesterday on a brief official trip.
 He says that the cases involving violation Of the white slave law are growing in number, fifteen of these being before the grand jury, indict- Iments having been returned in nearly every case.
 The special object of the mar shals present visit here is to take J. c. Trout back to Tucson to answer a charge of this kind. The marshal and his deputies have also had considerable increased work to do in looking after the violation of the law pertaining to the shipment of intoxicating liquor into dry terri tory.
 In addition to the two arrests made in Phoenix last week and the seizure of three trunks full of liquor they have seized two fifty gallon barrels of whiskey at Clark dale, which was shipped under the label of sauer kraut. Both the par ties shipping and the parties to AhoT vas sl T: :.ed a. 'A'ie under the law. Shipments have also been seized at Clifton.
 Persons desiring to ship booze as baggage can get around the United States law by labelling the trunks properly as to their contents and by stating the exact number of pack ages in the trunk and the quantity which each contains.
 If they can get the booze past the railroad in this manner the govern ment will not interfere with the shipment. The same applies also to bringing it into the state in auto mobiles. Properly labeled and stat ing the contents and the amount the trunk contains will be free from seizure by the marshal and is then up to the state officers to look iafter it.

FISH FOR NATIONAL FORESTS
Mormon Lake to be Stocked With
 Gamey Black Bass

Albuquerque, N. M. May 6.-The District Forester at Albuquerque an nounced today that requisition for IT consignments of fish fry had gone forward to the Bureau of Fisheries at Washington. The \ consignment run up to 10000 fry each, and will be used by the Forest Rangers to re- stock the fishing waters of the South western Forests. Mountain Trout, Rainbow Trout, and Black Bass will comprise the bulk of the shipments.
 One feature of this years work, says District Forester Redington will be putting fish in six different wa ters heretofore entirely empty Rain bow Trout will be placed in Ben HUT Lake on the Carson Forest, in Water Canyon on the ManZano Forest, in Stewart Lake on the Santa Fe For est, and in Showlow Creek on the be Introduced into Mormon Lake on the Coconino Forest. All of these waters, although apparently well ad- apted to fish, have heretofore been idle from the fisherman's viewpoint, but within a few years ought to fur nish excellent sport. Mormon Lake in particular is the largest mountain lake in the Southwest, embracing over fifteen square miles of water. Once well stocked, it ought to afford fine. fishing yearly for hundreds or even thousands of fishermen. The value of such a water is hard to es- timate in dollars and cents, especial ly in the Suthwest where bass waters are few and far between.
