IMPORTANT TO BE ON TIME
Even the Biggest Men Of Affairs A..
range Their Business on Punctu-
atty 40 Safe Guide.

A young Kentuckian lost big for
tune by being 20 minutes late in keep
ing business engagement, according
to the Christian Herald.
The cherries old fellow with the
Scythe always gets all that Is coming
to him. And there is many a 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 it as we will. But
it is always ourselves we rob. not
time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late In keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, If any, is your
own affair. But it also is 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.
clude that his time is worth more to
him than you are.
In many cases it may not matter
much. But one never knows until at
terward whether it matters or not
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that it does not mat.
ter even when 1t does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of the least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-.
gagements.
1t may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but II
do it.
Great business men have this habit
Men Of great affairs, whose time q
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. 1t is they who know best the
value Of time and the importance At
saving it by being prompt.

New York.-The persistence shown
by France in the dressmaking houses
in continuing a certain trick for sew
eral years, deserves more attention
than is usually accredited 1t, writes
Anne RittenhOuse.
A study of the obstinate way in
which Paris designers have held on
to a thing they liked might go far
toward convincing vast number OF
the critics Of women's apparel that
fashions are not as flighty as they
seem. The weather vane turns, 1t is
true, but it swirls back into the same
quarter so frequently that at times
there is feeling that 1t changes little.

an old gown must be replaced by a
new one by showing revolution In

Gypsy Sash.

Everyone knows that the so-called
gypsy sash which has been taken from
the Roumanian vagabonds is apt to in
crease the size appearance of the hips,
and yet it has come into fashion as
quickly as thunder shower comes up
in August. There is strong belief
among the designers that this Rouma-
nian hip girdle, which is as old as
Ninevah and Tyre, will not prove pop
ular, but all the designers believe that
the bias movement, which is creeping
into all the fashions and which ex-
presses itself in long, oblique lines,
will soon take the place of the straight.

"Look, sir! Mr.. Davies, look!" he

And in the universal Joy nobody

blew "Home, Sweet Home"
"Hooray" he yelled, tossing up his
cap at the finale. 'Mr. Davies. sir, it's

brought her back to life, and now we're
going to wake up ourselves"
"What do you mean, Clouts?" asked
Davies.
"Why, sir, don't you see? We've
just been picked up and landed from
the Beotia. And we've been dreaming
all sorts of deliriums about sea mon
sters, and suchlike. If I might be al

"But-hang it, Donald. how does
Miss Kennedy happen to be here?
"Why, wasn't she on board the Be-
otia?" Donald replied. "At any rate,
if it's all true, what have we got to
show for it?''
He had placed his arm across his
breast, and at that moment he felt the
crinkle Of dampened paper in his inner
pocket. He pulled out-the two pages
of Masterman's letter.
Donald unfolded it. It was quite
legible, in spite of the stains of sea

Todaw marks the twentieth annlver-
sary OF the surrender OF Santiago by
the Spanlards TO the American forces
under the command Of Maior-Gen. w.
r. Shafier
The events leading up 10 the capture
and surrender were as follows: On
June 20 a fleet OF thirty-two transports
arrived on Santiago. There were about
1900 officers and men, ii6 light field
guns. a train OF heavier pieces and 200
vehicles. With the exception OF three
volunteer regiments, one OF which was
the First Volunteer Cavalry. known as
the Rough Riders, OF which Theodore
Roosevelt was Lieutenant-COlonel. the
army was composed OF regular troops.
The landing was made with no opposl-
tion at Siboney and Dalquiri.
The defenders held the Hill OF San
Juan, barring the road 10 Santiago and
the village Of III Caney. owing to the
illness Of Gen. Shafter on July Gems
Wheeler, Lawton and Kent were In ac-
tusl command when the attack was be-
gun.
Although superior In numbers, Cen
ersl Lawtons forces were checked for
nine hours at Fl Caney. An equally
stubborn contest took place opposite
san Juan Hill. The nnal assault on Fl
Caney was delivered by General Chat
fees brigade. The other strong Span
ish position held out for a while. but
finally the Americans advanced and car
ried everything before them. The Span
iards retreaicd under a devastating ilre,
50 per cent. Of their troops being put
out OF combat. General Linares being
wounded severely. General Joe IOral
then assumed command.
Brisk firing was continued on July 2
and 3. on the latter day a demand was
made on the Spanish commander 10
surrender. with the alternative OF
bombardment Of the city by the Ameri-
can fleet on the following day. This
caused a general exodus Of civilians To-
ward FL Caney, where the American
supplies were taxed 10 support them.
ON July word was flashed that the
Maria Teresa was coming out. she was
followed by the Niscaya, the Colon, the
Oouendo and two destroyers. They
