ERROR COMMITTED BY MANY
Grave Mistake to Leave Business
Position in General Cloud Of
Unpleasant Feeling.

The man or woman of small am
bition and smaller achievement feels
that 1t is his privilege and pleasure
always to leave a position he is quit
ting" in a cloud of unpleasant feel
ing. SO long as he remains in his
position he puts up with unpleasant
ness, stiles his dislikes for the men
over him and does his best to grin
and bear things. When he realizes
that he can take his destiny in his
own hands, and ask to have his name
stricken off the pay roll, he takes
intense satisfaction In airing his preju-
dices and showing every one in the
place just how he feels about things.
He undoes in day all that he has
gained in the months or years that he
has worked there.
The man or woman with ambition
knows that the world of business is a
small place. Merely from selfish
point Of view it is essential to main
tain pleasant relations even with those
who, you feel, have treated you UNI
justly. If you have put up with their
ill treatment while working for them
surely you ought to be more willing to
do so when you have the inner salts
faction of knowing that you are going.
In fact you can stretch a point and
forgive and forget old rancors 1t may
be, you know, that in another shuttle
up you will be placed in a position
where one of the persons for whom
you have the most spite will be placed
in a position where his friendship will
mean a great deal to you. So do the
well-bred thing, which is to stife your
own petty animosities and exercise
your self-conrro to the extent of
leaving the old place with a handshake

Notes From ST. Nazianz

The most destructive storm that ever
struck this part of the country arrived
last Tuesday evening. BY Wednesday
morning it looked as though fairy
had touched the wires, trees and build
ingS with her wand and turned them
all to silver. As the increasing weight
of ice became heavier the wires and
trees began to sag and by evening
many wires were on the ground; as the
storm continued trees began to fall
under the heavy ice coating. Thursday
morning found us cut off from the rest
of the world, both the telephone and
electric lights being out of commission.
Damage to the extent of thousands of
dollars is estimated.

How Man Spells the Air.

"Windows open more would keep
doctors from the door" A very large
quantity Of fresh air is spoiled and
rendered foul by the act of breathing,
A man spoils not less than a gallon
every minute. In eight hours breath
ing ll-grown man spells as much
fresh air as seventeen three-bushel
sacks could hold. If he were shut up
in a room seven feet broad, seven feet
long and seven feet high, the doors
and windows fitting 50 tightly that no
air could pass through, he would die
poisoned by his own breath, in very
few hours; In twenty-four hours he
would have spoiled all the air con
tanned in the room, and have convert
ed 1t Into poison.

THOUGHT NOT REALLY RAPID
Mind Moves Comparatively Slowly,
Notwithstanding Expression That
Has Become Common.

"As quick as thought" is an express
sion much used to denote the acme
of speed in action, but, like so many
popular expressions, this one is mis-
leading. Thought, or at least the men
tai registering Of a sensation, is not
an exceedingly speedy process, the
thought impulse moving at the COM
paratively slow speed Of 40 feet a
second, or 10 miles an hour, Light
travels nearly nine million times as
swiftly. Thought would be hOpelessly
beaten in a race with a motorcar.
Perhaps a good illustration of the
comparative slowness of thought
waves is to assume that a man had
an arm 70 miles long and that, when
he was not looking friend should
grasp his hand. Before the owner Of
that arm became conscious that his
hand had been touched the friend
would have released it, and had time
to walk four miles or eat very ex-
tensive dinner.-Kansas City Star.

SETTLEMENT OF ST. NAZlaNZ
(Condnued from page one)

were built The winter of 1856 was
also a long one, and the crops of the
following season were only fair. Ten
acres of spring wheat produced well
and this supplied the community with
bread for the next twelve months.
Meanwhile herd of twenty cattle had
been acquired and a large barn had
been built, The year 1857 was an un-
fortunate one for the colony Fire
swept through the village and de-
stroyed several buildings, including the
large stock barn. Six head of cattle
were lost in soft swamp where they
had ventured for grazing, and the rest
of the stock suffered much from lack
of pasturage due to the dry season.
Added to their other misfortuneS the
second payment on their land now be-
came due and there were no funds with
which to meet it. The land was adver-
tised for sale by the creditors and the
personal property was attached, but
wealthy man from Sheboygan adj
yanced the money to meet all claims
and the property was saved to the col
onists.
From a financial standpoint 1858 was
satisfactory year and among other
improvements convent was built for
the sisters In 1859 there was an al
most total failure of crops and the
community had to be maintained by
contributions from philanthropic Cath
olics throughout the country This was
the last occasion on which the colony
needed outside assistance. From this
time the community was self-support-
ing and a few years later it became
very prosperous. In 1864 tannery
was added to the increasing industries
of the village and there were also in
stalled two looms for the weaving of
cloth
1t is interesting to note that during
the first twenty years of the industry
of the colony all property was owned
in common and all service was rendered
without compensation other than food
and clothing Meals were served from
a community kitchen, the unmarried
women being assigned to this service.
The married people lived in cottages,
while the single men lived in the mems
dormtory and the unmarried women
lived in the women's home
After the death of Father Oschwald
in 1873, the bonds that had held the
community together were to some ex-
tent loosened. The Rev. Peter MUTT,
who had been restored to health by
| Father Oschwald and had later studied
for The priesthood, succeeded to the
| leadership of the colony. Father MUTT
| felt that the married members and
their children were entitled to the
fruits of their labors, and he accord
ingly conveyed portions of the lands to
to remain, some of the members drift
ed away from the neighborhood and
the colony dwindled until 1898, when
its remaining property was taken over
by the Society of the Divine Savior,
who with the sisters, now control about
thousand acres of the original hold
ngs, Many beautiful buildings were
erected by these two societies, and st.
Nazianz today has an atmosphere that
is decidedly ecclesiastical.

To Utilize Waste Time.

A system in vogue in a few New
York department stores to utilize the
spare time of their employees when
customers are few Is to hold meetings
of a semi-soclal character, in which a
part or the whole of their forces can
participate. One Of the most popular
and beneficial of those systems, from
the viewpoint of the employers and the
employees, is to assemble the forces
and sing songs and hear short address
es delivered on general subjects by
store executives or others. A daily
use of that system, according to one
store manager who has had the system
in practice for considerable time, is
to infuse greater enthusiasm among
its employees for their work and to
lnculcate spirit of cooperation be-
tween the employer and his employees.

Two Kinds of Thinkers.

There are two kinds of people in
the world-word people and fact
people. The former deal in words and
phrases and form their judgments on
opinions and beliefs. The latter
analyze questions and draw con-
illusions only from the point of view
Of what they believe to be established
facts. TIE two types are as far apart
as the north and south poles and are
incapable of carrying on anything in
the way Of intelligent argument or de-
bate, because they do not talk the
same language or think by the same
method. The word man starts with a
desired conclusion and fashions his
facts to produce that result. The
fact man analyses his subject, seeks
TO establish the truth in regard to
facts which have a bearing on 1t and
then fearlessly draws what he be-
lieyes to be honest conclusions. His
process is like the working out Of a
mathematical problem; he does not
know what the answer will be until
the last figure is made He thinks for
ward, while the word man thinks
backward
