Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
The Troubles of the Good.

The Troubles of the Good.
There is nothing that is a greater
misfortune for a person to have than
a bad reputation, except a good one.
If you have a bad reputation every
body talks about you. If you have a
good reputation, everybody does you.
People may scandaIize you If you have
a bad reputation, but if you have a
good reputation everybody victinni=cs
you. The reason the Bible tells US TO
do good by stealth, and not to let our
right know what our left hand doeth,
is to put US wise to the danger we
or hospitable, or a good scout.
Probably the reason there are so
many hard-boiled eggs iD>the world
is because, if you give any indication
of being soft, you are Immediately
sQuashed all over the place. We can't
be 4 little LIBERAL a little helpful, a
little neighborly, and let it go at that.
Once you establish a reputation along
those lines, you become a shining
mark for every CRATER and dead beat
who hears of you.
Take the matter of giving, for in
stance. Everybody who has ever tried
helping people knows that once you
give to an individual you are never
done giving to him or her. Right then
and there you acquire a permanent
liability, for the recipient seems to
think that you are a sort of checking
account in a bank that he or she can
draw on at pleasure
Nor are these parasites grateful.
On the contrary. they seem to think
that they are doing you a real favor
in giving you a chance to exercise
your philanthropic gifts. for they al
ways begin their touch by saying: 81
know how generous you are and that
you will be glad to contribute towards
buying me u limousine, or that you
will be delighted to send me a box of
champagne, or send my little Willie to
Harvard" or whatever it is they want.
You may pay the rent for a family.
and foots their grocery and coal bill
for ten years regularly. and they will
take it as a matter of course, and feel
hard towards you because you don't
do more, if you have the fatal reputa-
ton for being kind and benevolent,
and then they will have fits of graft
tude over a SO cent present that some
tight-fisted individual sends them.
Funny thing, but haven't you seen it
a thousand times?
Same way about hospitality. Get
a reputation for being hospitable, and
you run a free hotel from then on un-
til you are eaten out of house and
home. Ask a relative to come and
spend the day, and he or she stays
for months. People whom you scarce
1y know descend upon you, bag and
baggage, at the most inopportune
times

THE GERMAN INVASION.

Without waiting for ratification of
the peace treaty, Hugo SHINES, who is
the Henry Ford and John D. Rookie
has opened a branch office in New
York. In consequence, it is reported
considerable interest has been mani
tested by international traders as to
the possible competitive relationship
between the United States and Ger
many.
SHINES has sold cotton ties in this
secretly negotiating for steamship
connections. his name having been
prominently mentioned in connection
with the reorganization of the United
States Mail Line. In the employ of
STIFFNESS New York office is an Amer
lean steel man who is considered to be
well versed in market conditions here.
Previous to this, some German steel
was brought in but with unfortunate
results. For instance, shipment of
German nails which arrived in New
York only a few months ago were
found to be of an extremely poor
quality. On the other hand it has
taken an order for rails for Cuba and
not only has given a very low price,
and promised shipments will start
within six weeks, but has agreed that
the rails shall pass all tests of one of
the recognized testing societies.
To what extent the hand of Shines
is behind all these moves is MOI
known. says the Iron Trade Review,
but with the clearing of the atmos-
Sphere it becomes more and more ap-
parent that there is one man in Ger
many who knows how to deal largely
and deal in a manner that is recog-
nized as good business.
SHINES has his day at court now,
it is pointed out, because of the de-
pressed condition of the exchange.
Furthermore the German has many
well wishers in the United States who
would do much to assist him in a good
fight to pay his repara ton bills But
the problem appears to be much more
serious than one of purchase of Ger
man goods. It is coming to be a
problem of permitting German CAPT
tai to take possession of American en-
terprises. Hugo SHINES is interested
in the shipping because he realizes
that successful trading is related 20
his ability to deliver his sales. The
operations of this German business
man in America probably will be
watched closely.

Henry Ford's offer to take the
Muscle Shoals white elephant off the
governments hands and pay real
money for the privilege of doing so
has aroused storm OF disapproval
all over the country. Patriotic, citi-
zens are urging that Mr.. Ford's pro-
posal is wholly out of proportion to
the amount that the government has
expended on the plant. The most OBJ
jectionable feature in Mr.. Ford's Of
fer is that he wants Uncle Sam to
spend more money in completing the
undertaking. Otherwise It might be a
good plan to make him a present of
it. Mr.. Ford probably made his Of
fer on a basis Of business and not IF
sentiment. If the government has
spent many millions of dollars on the
plant beyond what it is worth, it is no
fault of the automobile manufacturer.
Probably It does not matter greatly to

More and more, disease is being
cured before it begins, says the United
States public health service. Typhus,
which drove Napoleon from Moscow
and destroyed his army, is now being
wiped out by soap and hot water.
Smallpox, once classed with measles
as a deadly but inevitable child's dis
ease, is being ended with tiny tubes
vaccine. Lead poisoning in potteries
is being markedly checked by the
workmen eating outside their work
rooms and washing the lead glaze off
their hands before eating at all. Chill
dren by thousands are being saved
from slow starvation by attention to
their teeth, which enables them to eat
and to digest their food. Wherever
modern public health work is in prog
ress, lives are longer and safer than
they were.

The railroads of the United States
have lost much money since state and
national legislation began beating
down rates and forcing additional ex-
penses upon them. 1t will take long
time to make good these losses but
they can do it if given a chance. tho
not thru charging for service more
than the traffic will bear. There was
a time when the trip from Topeka 70
California and return could be made
for $40. This rate could hardly
have been remunerative, but the pc
Rod that it was in effect was followed
by many years of profitable business
for the transcontinentaI roads. 1t laid
the foundation for a traffic that
might never have been built up Other
wise. There were far seeing railroad
managers in those days.

JUST FOLKS

BIZ EDGAR A. GUEST.


Nine passed him by with a hasty look
Each bent on his ger way;
One glance at him was the most they took
SSomebody stuck" said they;
But 1t never occurred to the nine TO heed
A strangers plight and a strangers need.
The tenth man looked at the stranded car,
And he promptly stopped his own.
Let's see If l know what your troubles
are"
Said he in cheerful tone;
Just stuck in the mire. Here's a cable
stout,
Hitch onto ing bus and I'll pull you out"
"a thousand thanks" said the stranger
then.
For the debt that 1 owe you;
I've counted them all and you're one In
ten
Such kindly deed to do
And the tenth man smiled and he an
swered then,
Make sure that you'H be the one in ten"
Are you one of the nine who pass men by
In this hasty life we liveY
Do you refuse with a downcast eye
The help which you could give?
Or are you the one in ten whose creed
Is always tn stop for the man in needs

Postmaster General Hays has issued
Il general order directing all postmas-

periodicals" all comment, favorable
or unfavorable, and all suggestions re-
ferring directly or indirectly to the
department, including editorial arti-
cles The department, the postmaster
general tells postmasters, is particu-

criticism called to its attention. This
attitude of the postmaster general is
in marked contrast to that of the late

ing every word of criticism aimed at
his department.
