Courtesy a Business Asset

Courtesy is the life of trade. To be
sure you must have the goods, but
courtesy helps to sell them. A certain
big establishment has a man whose
chief business is to meet people and
make them feel at home. He has q
pleasant post short distance from
the door and it's his business to see
every one that comes in. He has q
handshake and smile for everybody.
When people come in that do not seem
to know where they want to go he
talks with them and learns their needs
and sees that they get in touch with
the proper clerks. The crowd buys
there because it is made to feel that
the store is interested In them. And
they pay less for the goods, too, be-
cause they buy in such large quanti-
ty that the store can afford to sell at
lower rates and still make money.
That's the reason it sells more furni-
ture, carpets and general furnishings
than all the other stores combined in
that town. Courtesy and service is the
watchword and they find there's money
in it.-Pennsylvania Grit.

dubious authority; but mother who

An UnheraIded Event.

An announcement has appeared In
the newspapers so Insignificant that it
has almost passed unheeded. The size
of the item was altogether out of pro-.
portion to its Importance. The single
paragraph was to the effect that the
swinging bridge over the Suez canal
at Ell Kantara, about 35 miles south
of Port Said, had been completed. Yet
that bridge affords direct railway COM
municat1on between Cairo and the cit
les of Palestine it conquers the desert
which separated Egypt from Palestine,
and which has for centuries barred the
march of nations; it joins Asia to At
RIGA, and it assures the world that the
Holy Land will henceforth be under
Christian guardianship. Xerxes bridg-
ing the Hellespont is nothing to the
British bridging the Suez canal! Sure
ly the bells Of Christendom ought to
have been rung when that insignifi-
can't announcement crept into the cor
ners of the papers = Christian Science

Be Courteous Always.

Next to honesty courtesy is the best
asset. Remember few people or firms
have such monopoly of products that
they can afford to be discourteous.
There are thousands of people who
prefer courteous treatment to SUI
perior goods. There is no reason why
they should not have both. But IL one
or the other must suffer the courteous
chap will win out. That explains why
the store with the highest grade OF
goods does not always have the
crowds. People like to be treated as
though they counted in the worlds
economy. Whether they do or not
makes little difference. Let them
think they do and they will boost your
business to people who do. You Sc
cure their good will through courtesy
and they join the ranks Of your adver-
Users. Men of business insight have
learned this long ago. AxrgEVs~ses4. ~, !

Partners In joys and Sorrows.

A writer says In the American Maya
zine: cit Is good phrase we have
for describing women, partners Of our
joys and SORROWS I know not how 1t
may be with other men, but it is thus
with me: In the regular routine of life,
when nothing much is happening, when
the days go by one after the other
filled with their monotonous rounds Of
duties, I can, If necessary, exist for
long periods without the company Of
women. In such days and weeks they
are sometimes, to be sure, pleasing
distraction; but they are not food and
drink and shelter. can, If need be,
survive. But let success break through
the monotony of the daily grind; and
must have woman to share it; half
Its sweetness is lost otherwise. And
failure without their God-given chat
ter and unquenchable optimism is
utterly intolerable. I say know not
how 1t may be with other men, but it
Is thus with me-"

ISLAND KEEPS SECRET WELL
Many Have Sought Pirates Treasure
but Nobody Has Yet Reported
ANY Success.

Ships that cruise In the Pacific or
Costa Rica, often sight the forested hill
Of Cocos island, whereupon are called
forth tales of buried treasure and pi-
rate booty guaranteed to make the
nearer eager to seize a trusty shovel,
land on the island and dig.
Except for the glamour of buccan-
eer adventure, the island is not un-
usual. 1t is typical island Of the
tropics, heavily wooded with the Co
conut palms, which gives 1t its name.
It's isolation and lack of Inhabitants
made it a favorable port for lawless
crews Of the seventeenth and eight
eenth centuries, who found 1t con-
venient place to hide occasionally a
few kettlefuls of pieces Of eight and
bars of silver and gold.
There are so many traditions about
the pirates who have used this island
for q treasure vault that authorities
on the ways of pirates agree that some
of them must be true. This verdict has
been the ruin of many staid citizen,
who has sunk time and fortune into a
wild scheme of treasure hunting.
Cocos island does not encourage
treasure hunting. The hermit to whom
the Costa Rican government has grant
ed the rights of the island is after the
gold himself and consequently does not
approve of other explorers. But there
Is always some mysterious project on
hand. The types Of the excavators vary
from the man who digs only on dark
night and under dead tree to the
matter of fact person, who takes with
him the most up-to-date machinery and
a gang of laborers. Cocos island does
not give up its prize easily. The old
buccaneers would grin with delight If
they could see the adventures who
set out so bravely on their quest and
who leave the island with their desire
for digging quite satisfied. nSr- !,

MADE FRANCE GREAT POWER
History Has Accorded Cardinal Richie
lieu High Place Among Eminent
Statesmen Of the World.

Passing through many vicissitudes,
Armand Jean du Plessis, cardinal and
afterward chief minister of state, the
real head of France in everything but
name, retained that position until his
death, September 5. 1912. The king
trusted him implicitly, though he never
liked him personally, and was always
FESTIVE under the mastery of the
great mind. Richelieu's policy was di-
rected toward unified system Of adj
ministration in France, and in foreign
affairs his chief aim was to humble
the power of the Austrian and Span
fish Hapsburgs. He was instrumental
In bringing Gustavus Adolphus into
Germany, and during the last Of the
Thirty Years war France was an ac-
tive ally Of the Protestant cause in
the field. A conspiracy headed by the
queen mother reached crisis In 1880,
when Richelieu almost gave up the
struggle. The king refused him an
audience, but the cardinal finally sue
ceeded In seeing him and convincing
the king that he (the cardinaD was
necessary to France. and irrevocably
fixing his ascendancy. The day be-
came known, from the discontinue Of
the conspirators, as the day Of Dupes.
By a succession Of vigorous and effec-
tive measures, he succeeded In break
ing down the political power Of the
great families of France and making
the king the absolute ruler.

WORK IN SHADOW OF DEATH
Lives Of Those Engaged In Manufae-
ture Of Explosives Are Of Neees.
sity In Constant Danger.

Explosives are, almost or quite with.
out exception, composed Of substances
which are endothermic in character;
that is, heat energy is absorbed when
they are formed, and this heat Is lib
Grated when they decOmpose. Heat,
moreover, accelerates all chemical
changes. Hence, writes Henry p. Tai
bot in Atlantic Monthly, If any (even
a very smalD part of an explosive
mass begins to break down from any
cause the heat liberated promotes the
rapidity of the change, and this, In
turn, is communicated to neighboring
portions, until the entire mass may be
involved and destroyed.
So far as 1t is humanity possible to
do so, all exciting causes must be fore
seen and forestalled, and the lack OF
stability during storage has necessi-
tated the discarding of many materials
otherwise Of great promise.
AS an instance of extreme instability
the behavior Of a substance known as
nitrogen iodide may be cited. This
compound explodes with great violence
If touched with feather-a literal in
stance Of being "tickled to DEATH
and often it is exploded by the mere
friction Of the air when moved from
one spot to another. Such sensitive
ness as this obviously places a SUBJ
stance outside the bounds Of practical
usefulness; but all explosives are, in
the very nature of the case. unstable,
and their preservation involves the
study of factors which differ from this
case in degree rather than in kind.
