HARD TO CHEAT FATHER TIME
Wise Is the Man Who Appreciates
Value of PunctuaIity, and Great
Is His Reward.

A young Kentuckian has lost q big
fortune by being 20 minutes late in
keeping a business engagement.
The cherries old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that Is coming
TO him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap, and we are apt to
think we can fitch 1t as we win. But
1t is always ourselves we rob, not time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being lac in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, II any, Is your
own affair. But 1t is also the affair Of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time Is worth
less, maybe his is not. He may con-
ciude that his time Is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases 1t may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether 1t matters or not.
And through false pOliteness we are
usually assured that 1t does not matter
even when it does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is Of least value, can afford to
waste 1t by 1ooseness In keeping en-
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but 1t
can be done, and 1t is worth while to
do it.
Great business men have this habit.

Canton a City of Canals.

At Canton, the oldest city In south
ern China, the river is, in effect, canal
lied, and the shipping is heavy and
varied. The water is deep enough for
ships of 1000 tons burden as far as the
city, but foreign boats come up only
as far as Whampoa, nine miles to the
southeast, where there are extensive
docks. Here the loading and unload
ing is done by native boats. Vessels
of deep draft lie outside the bar. For
ty miles below is the Boca Tgris
Mouth of the Tiger), and the water
widens into wide estuary. Water d.
vides the old from the new town and
surrounds the island and the suburbs,
where the Europeans live, SO that Can
ton has an abundance of picturesque
water life, including a big housebOat

FOX, STATESMAN AND ORATOR
Brilliant EngIishman Will Be Remem-
bered az Firm Friend Of Ameri-
can independence.

Charles James Fox, great English
statesman, who did so much for Amer
lean independence, entered parliament
as tory at nineteen, and was made
lord Of the admiralty at twenty-one.
He incurred the lifelong enmity of
George III by opposing royal mar
iage bill, favored by the king, and at
the kings instance he was dismissed
from Office. Thereupon he left the
tories and joined the WING party.
whose chief he soon became, leading
them in their splendid opposition to
Lord North and the war which ended
in American independence.
Fox was kept out of Office by the en-
nifty of the king during % Of the best
years of his life Nord Grenville final
ly refused to form a cabinet without
him), but managed in spite Of this to
fight valiantly for many good meas
ures, including Indian government re-
form, better libel law and the abOl-
ition of the slave trade. He risked
for the latter.
Gambling, which his father taught
him as a child, was Fox's besetting
sin. He lost thousands by 1t, but when
in 1898 his friends paid his debts and
settled an annuity upon him, he never
touched a card again.
Fox was one of the greatest orators
who ever spoke in the British parlia-
ment He is said to have possessed
''above all moderns that union Of rea-
son, simplicity and vehemence which
formed the prince of orators"

Useful Tree.

An American tree, known as the
shea, or butter tree, Is beginning to at
tract commercial attention. 1t sup
plies not only nuts, but also butter
that may become an article Of CONNER
ciai Importance. 1t is already exported
to Europe, where makers of artificial
butter find use for it.
Almost two-thirds of the nut is veg
etable butter. The tree begins to bear
when it is fifteen years old and reaches
its prime in twenty-five years. Choco-
late manufacturers could easily util-
iZe the product. 1t might also be of
use in making candles and soap.

NEED FOR SCOUT LEADERS

There is urgent need of trained men

scouting. The demand for adequately
trained leaders in newly created eoun-

greatly exceeds the available supply.
The scout executive in large cities
should compare favorahly in breadth

tors of large affairs. The almost In.
slant placing of executives of this
caliber is asSurcd-whlc the smaller
field awaits the man of less expert
ence and training.
No one any longer doubts the per
manence of the boy scout program.
Its merits and value arc not only at
tested by popular approval. but ii now
has the active support of thinking,
serious minded business and profess
sional men.
II has demonstrated It's usefulness
To the community. the state and ma
ton. Problems of policy. extension,
supervision. and the like, within the
boy scout organization, now have the
attention of men of all shades of so
cial, religious and political belief,
The greatest problem that Is facing
the movement, however, is that OF
professional lcadcr~hip-the problem
OF finding trained men Of vision. of
business ability. and of profound inter
est in education. who will devote their
lives t. the work as scout executives.
