to second base. Then a lucky hit by
Davidson, after an error by the Iudian
third baseman, scored the only two

THE PLEASURES OF A MERCHANT
The following paper, which was
read by 8 A Stinson, merchant at this
place, at the big Shenkberg show in
Sioux City last Thursday, was so well
poken of by those who heard it that
we herewith publish it:
Pleasure conies to the person who Is
willing to work in the field to which
his inclinations have been called.
here never has been a time during
all the past nges of civilization, nor
has It been discovered to this day,
hen any Royal road lead3 us contin
ually In paths of pleasantness and
peace. If such a thing as that could
be possible, all the powers of man.
Intellectually physically, morally and
spiritually would dwindle and decay.
It is that bold rush for existence that
makes our people what they are, and
In no business is competition stronger
toan In the mercantile business. True
it Is, that we find as many failures in
the professions and amongst the farm
ers as we do among the merchants. I
believe a man may truly be called a
failure who does not make advance
ments In his line of business so that
the general public can notice them.
Of course. It is not expected that a
person will continually advance with
out reverses in business, but a con
tinual standstill from year to year
shows negligence and a want of ambi
tion to be something in the world.
The pleasures which crown our
pathway through life munt come along
In our every day work. The man who
expects to labor a lifetime or until he
accumulates a fortune and then sit
down and take enjoyment, will never
realize on his investment the per cent
of pleasure which a legitimate busi
ness should pay. The man of the hour
who wishes to have pleasure thrust
around him must gather it day by day
and must show a system of honesty
in lis business. Let a man have the
reputation of being fair and upright
in his dealings and he will possess the
confidence of all who know him. With
out these qualities every other merit
will prove unavaillHK. Ask concerning
a man, "Is he active and capable?"
Yes. Industrious, temperate and regu
lar in his habits? O, yes. Is he honest?
Is he Trustworthy? Why, as to that.
I am sorry to say that he Is not. to be
rusted; he wants watching; he is a
little tricky; and will take an undue
advantage If he can. Then I will have
nothing to do with him will be the in
variable reply. Part with anything
rather than your integrity, and the
pleasure that Is afforded by this mode
of living will amply repay you. Some
there are who are callous as to this.
Some there are wno, In stooping to
mercantile dishonor in driving the lm
moral bargain, think they have done a
clever action. You may be prosperous
In your own eyes; you may have real
Ized an envied fortune; you may have
your automobile and servants; but
rather a crust of bread with a good
conscience than a stately palace wltb
out it.
We must admit as merchants that
wo have an innumerable train of hang
ers-on in the business, who pass along
down the stream of mercantile activ
ity with scarcely a bubble of enjoy
ment about them. They live well, and
dress well as long as possible, living
as they do upon the generosity of
wholesalers and friends, and often
pass on for years before juBtlco over
takes them. So long as these persons
can keep up fashionable appearances
and elude the police, they are received
into the company of the "Upper Tens.
Hut soner or later the deeper prln
ciplt's of right will prevail and Justice
will be meted out to them. This, o
course, Is Just as prominent In every
vocation in life; but the successful
merchant who Is striving to reap hap
illness will not take the advantage
liis fellow man. The greatest men
business today are those who look af
ter the liulo things carefully. Mlchae
Angelo was one day explaining to
visitor at his studio what he had bei
doing to a statue since his pievlou
visit. "I have retouched tills pa.'t, po
lulled that, softened this feature
brought out that muscle, given some
expression to this lip and more ene
gy to that limb." "Hut these are tri
lies," remarked the visitor. "It ma
be so. " replied the sculptor, "hut reco
lect that trifles make perfection, an

perfection is no trifle."
Fellow merchants, we must Improve
every opportunity foe our advance
ment, or failure Will be written on our
banner. Do you suppose that we can
try one business and then another and
tints while away our lives and make it
a success? The secret of one's success
or failure In nearly every enterprise
is usually contained In the question,
How earnest is he?" The talent of
Biiccess is simply doing what you can
do well, and doing well whatever you
do without a thought of fame. Be
cheerful, for it is the only happy life.
The times may be hard, but it will
make them no easier to wear a gloomy
and sad countenance. It Is the sun
shine and not the cloud that makes
the flower. The sky is blue ten times
where it is black once. You probably
have troubles; so have others. None
are free from them. Perhaps It is as
well that none should be. They give
new and tone to life fortitude and
courage to man. That would be a dull
sea, and the sailor would never get
skill where there was nothing to dis
turb the surface of the ocean. It Is
the duty of everyone to extract all the
appiness and enjoyment he can with
out and within him, and above all,
e should look on the bright side of
things. What though things do look
little dark. The lane will turn and
end In broad .daylight. Men were not
made to hang down either heads or
lips; and those who do only show they
are departing ironi tne pains or true
common sense and right. Oive us
men who do not change with the wind,
as do weather-cocks, but like tho
mountains who change the winds
themselves. Do not live in hope with
our arms foided; fortune smiles on
those who roll up their sleeves and
nut tneir shoulders to the wheel.
What a departure from the field of
wholesaling was launched when the
Shenkberg company stepped aside
from its old trodden paths and took
into its confidence the retailer. Such
step as that was considered suicidal.
When we Btop and think what a step
like that means It does not take a
philosopher to tell us what the result
will be. Whenever you show the peo
ple you are Interested In them, then
is they stop from their labors for
a time and ask, wnat you have to offer.
What retailer isthere that does not
want his dollars to purchase as many
goods as possible? None that I have
heard of as yet. Why, then, is it a
good thing? Because others are pull
ing for the same thing. More friends,
more business, more dollars.
A great many persons who will look
upon this project in tne ruture win
consider It luck; but my friends, it Is
pluck which weaves the web of suc
cess. It is not luck, but pluck, that
turns the wheel of fortune. It is pluck
that amasses wealth, that crowns men
with honors, that forges the luxuries
of life. It Is this thought I would In)
press on you that in order to gain en
Joyment you must bo vlgllent i!nd
brave; and when you have done your
work as best you could, it may be said
of you as Longfellow has put It
lii'.i was the troubled life,
The conflict and the pain.
Th grief, the bitterness of strife,
The honor without stain.
h'o when a great man dies,
Kor years beyond our ken,
The light he leaves behind him
lies
Upon the paths of men.
