GOOD ROADS AROUND A FARM

(From Weekly News Letter, United States

Roads and drives Immediately

usually Of sufficient Importance to

Very light or extremely sandy soils
cut up badly in dry weather, while GER
tain heavy and absorbent soils become
very sticky and soft during the rainy
season. Where any considerable
amount Of hauling is necessary, roads
over soils of this character may re-

EX-CASH BOY NOW
AN ALTMAN RULER
Richard Jackson, Who Began
at So a Week, Raised to
Directorate

There's n man named Richard Jack
son in New York. They say of Jack
son that he was never heard to speak
of yours truly, No. l. Jackson stops at
Altman's, the store that doesn't have
to put its name over the door. He has
been stopping there for twenty-eight
years.
The other day the eleven Altman
directors got together to elect n twelfth
director. All of them had been cash
boys, messengers, clerks or drivers
when they first went to Altman's. The
president of the company himself,
Michael Friedsam, had started as a
messenger boy. Therefore, no one was
surprised when Mr.. Friedsam got up
and said:
Gentlemen, no driftwood We burn
our own fuel here. That vacant chair
terial. Go down to the basement after
it if you want to, but don't go outside
these four walls"
So the eleven directors did 20 down
to the basement--to the basement of
twenty-eight years ago, that is. And
they brought up their old working
mate Jackson, Richard Jackson.
Made Start as Cash Boy
Jackson is AZ years old. He looks
about SO. When he was IA he got a
job as cash boy in the department
store at Sixth avenue and Eighteenth
street. Altman's. To-day he is a di-
rector of the firm and manager of the
advertising department.
AS matter of fact, Jackson wasn't
worth a cent when he got that place as
cash boy. But they had to pay him
something, so they paid him 50 a week.
At the time he was mostly red hair
and freckles. To-day he is mostly
efficiency.
Jackson was never married. When
Il reporter for The Sun was using a
twenty-ton derrick of metaphorical
construction yesterday to drag a few
facts out of jackson about himself this
was the only one thta he would admit.
Then you don't think, Mr.. Jack
son." inquired the reporter, that the
married state is essential to a man S
success"
jackson. being something of sue
cess himself, it was only natural to eX-
pect a negative reply. But strange to
say, Jackson made an affirmative re-
ply. He did think the married state
essential to a mans success.
Most of the successful men l know
are married" said he.
And there you have Jackson. He
either couldn't remember himself or
did not view himself in the light of u
success.

ALL THE WAY

AT the days unknown beginning,
Ere the hours so full of care,
When we ask Him for His guidance,
AS we come to Him in prayer
While We wait His loving whisper
Just for us,-He, passing by,
Lingers there to walk beside us.
If we ask Him-you and |.
All the way we'll go with Jesus,
No one else so understands
How our service, though most faithful,
Needs His loving, patient hands.
He can straighten all the tangles-
All the puzZling knots unite
If we only bring them to Him,
And just leave them-you and |.
All the days we'll leave with Jesus
What He bade us do or bear:
All He taught or wrought or brought
us,
In the work He let us share.
How He chose our pathway for us;
How He guided with His eye,
Well remember in the Homeland
Where We'll see Him-you and |.
