Some Things In Iceland.

Iceland is far from being dreary
waste, for it exports large quantities
of the finest grade of wool in the
world. besides quantities of hides,
sheepskins, feathers, oil. fish and fish
products and, curiously enough, many
horses. The island has several natu-
raj resources that have never been de-
veloped, among them great sulphur de,
posits. One of them contains not less
than 100000 tons of practically pure
sulphur. There are extensive deposits
of copper ore. This, while of a low
grade, could be worked at a huge
profit, since the water power is I'm
limited and always at hand wherever
the copper is found There are also
large deposits of geyserite. which is
equal to the best Arkansas TOMBSTONE.
In addition there are several sections
rich in agates and chalcedony. which
are widely used in making jewels for
the bearings of watches and electrical
instruments. None of them has ever
been worked.

HOW
To Make a Huge Success
OF Your Life Work

,~ENERAL CHARLES 81. TAY-
- LOR of Boston is one of the
most widely known newspaper
men in the country and, popu-
lar everywhere. is especially esteemed
among those in the newspaper bust
ness. The Boston Globe. which he
built up from obscurity to be one of
the greatest newspapers of the coun-
try. is conclusive proof that he knows
what success is. He is especially fit
ted with evidence and by nature to
talk on that subject, and a recent adj
dress of his on The True Secret of
Success deserves as wide reading
as possible 1t is full of sense and OF
encouragement. The Courant takes
the occasion to publish brief extract
from it as a choice sample of delight
full paper. We should like to see 1t In
every paper in the country:
THE best rule for success in life Is
to do a little more than is expected of
you in any position that you may Sc
cure. The boy or man who does more
than is expected of him and Is anxious
for his employers progress will never
get mislaid in the smallest office or the
largest establishment The people who
do not succeed are those who begin al
noon to watch the clock so that they
will be certain to be all ready to rush
out of the building at o'clock or
whatever the hour for closing may be
The people who are afraid they will dc
more work than they are paid for will
never be paid for more than they do
Unsuccessful people in this world think
that those who have succeeded have
had luck. There may be something in
luck. but the man who sits down and
waits for it to come to him will starve
If there is any luck the man who Is
courageous and ambitious and indus
trious will be sure to find it.
Some years ago Senator John James
ingalls, of Kansas wrote a poem called
Opportunity His theory was that
Opportunity knocked at your door but
once. His poem is one Of the most
beautiful in the English language, but
his theory is all wrong. The persons
who have the microbes of ambition
and industry do not wait for Opportu
nifty to knock at the door, but have the
door wide open and are out on the side
walk or in the street hunting for Op
portunity. and it is not difficult to fine
1t. Do not wait for Opportunity tc
knock If you wish for success"

THE
PARTNERS
PAGE NO. SIX.
By M. QUAD

Among the applicants answering The
advertisement of Klein & Klppert for
a stenographer was Miss Rose VII
liams of suburban village. Both
partners were old bachelors. and when
the advertisement was inserted Klein
said to Klippert:
There will probably he huIidreI
girls come tomorrow. and as know
more about human nature than You
do | will see them and pick OUT the
one we want"
But as | know more about stenOg
raphy than you do it should he left to
me-" was the reply of the partner
They wrangled over the matter for
ten minutes and then agreed thai both
should receive and question the ap
picants When Miss Rose entered the
office each partner said to himself that
she would do. no matter whether she
knew anything about stenography or
not Each tried to impress upon her
mind the fact that he was fatherIy
and Kind hearted and wished to run
an orphan asylum Klein wanted to
offer her $40 a week, and Klippert
wanted to offer s. more, but they final
ly settled on SIS to start with, When
the terms had been settled and the
applicant had departed, to reappear
on the morrow, Klein hitched about
on his chair for couple of minutes
and then said:
"As my room Is rather the largest
and lightest, am willing to make a
place for the young lady. Did you no.

Klippert. and will take her in there.
There is a sad look about her eyes, as
If she had some great grief, and I
shall not expect her to do much work. "
They disputed for half an hour over
the point. and next day Miss Rose

the only thing he could think Of to get
even. He called Miss Rose In and
raised her salary to 500 week.
The junior partner was not at all
satisfied with the situation. he had
followed the stenographer to the car
to see that the bookkeeper who was
known to be masher. didn't do the
same. There he had met his partner
and had been looked at distrustfully
In wronging him the partner wronged
Miss Rose. and he called her in and
dictated a fictitious letter and added:
81 am pleased to say that our work
was never so well done before. and |
wish to inform You that your salary
has been advanced TO S25 per week"
Miss Williams came to her place on
a Wednesday On Saturday afternoon
there was a half holiday. On Satur-
day afternoon also Mr. Klein met Mr..
Klippert in the village where the ste
nographer lived. Each wanted to ask
the other what he was doing there, bur
he didn't ask Klein finally took Kip
pert by the arm and walked him to the
car. and when both were seated and
headed for the city he said:
"Klippert. it's hard times in bust
ness"
"You bet!'
I'VE don't need stenographer."
Not In the least"

And on Monday morning Miss WILL

that owing to her inexperience her
services would no longer be required

was given the hall between the office
rooms Of the partners.
At half past / o'clock Klein called
the stenographer into his room and
dictated letter and then said;
Miss Williams, your work has prov
ed so satisfactory that your salary is
raised to SIS per week"
She expressed her thanks and back
ed out. but scarcely had FIVE minutes
passed when Klippert called her in to
ask If she was satisfied with her sal
airy and to add before she could reply:
you take hold of the work SO we'll

Klein had been in the habit Of leav-
ing the store every afternoon at half
past 4 On this occasion be hung
about until s. Klippert and the en-
ployees left at half past 5. Klippert
sauntered after the new stenographer
to see what car she took He had just
ascertained when be encountered his
partner. They eyed each other sus-
pciously for a minute and then lied
Each had a ready excuse on his
tongue. Next morning at the store
the senior partner called the junior
partner into his room and gravely
said:
"N1r Klippert, | should be grieved
to know that you were following Miss
Williams to the car, but the more
think of it the more suspicious your
conduct appears"

was-promptly asked.
Business unconnected with the store
called me to the spot"
Same here"
Each one had been wondering how
he could circumvent the other and in
vite the pretty stenographer out to
lunch The thing was finally settled
by the senior partner, who said:
Il would suggest that neither Of us
ask the young lady to lunch. She
might mscOnstrue our action"
Just what | was about to suggest
We will 20 out together, as hereto

fact. he had gone to the car half an

English as a World LANGUAGE.

English is well adapted to use as a
world language because of its rich
vocabulary and its grammatical SIM
plicity. 1t is the literature Of liberty
and social equality. The fundamental
hindrance to the spread of the English
language as world language is its ir-
rational spelling. 1t is difficult because
of the superiority Of letters and the
confusion of representations If these
objections were removed and the pro
portional rate of increase of the nine
teenth century continues English will

The Habit of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is cas-
ly broken. Take a cold sponge bath
every morning when you first get out
of bed-not ice cold, but tempera-
ture of about 80 degrees F. Also
sleep with your window up. Do this
and you will seldom take cold. When
you do take cold take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and get rid of it as
quickly as possible. Obtainable ev-
