possible to get along without it. Club

Enjoying Your Employment.
In love with your work is one of
the sources daily sources of profita
ble originality. Though very few get
a living doing just what they want to
do, yet many succeed and improve
their world of work, leaving their sub
ject in beter shape than they found
it. Desire to do something well helps
people succeed though working at
their second or third choice of em
ployment. A Chicago man with a na
tional reputation told me he had never
done the work he always wanted to
do. The work he wanted to do may
have been some youthful fancy. He is
a great success in the work he has
4 one. Interest in your work brightens
your eye, sharpens your thought and
quickens your ear. We are continually
walking over good things better
things profitable opportunities. While
waiting with friends for a belated
train I placed a coin on the walk to see
how many would walk over it. We
got the value of the coin in entertain
ment, as dozens of people walked over
ft. Then we got the value of the coin
hgain when we saw the joyful face of
the old lady with a basket who found
the coin, but did not see us. Greater
interest in our work lessens the num
ber of good things walked over it
helps us keep awake and thinking
straight. A short-sighted person could
see a dime on a high hitching post,
yet be blind to a gold eagle on the
ground. Greater interest in our work
lengthens our sight without injuring
fts quality. Some of the things I tell
you in these letters may help you most
"aough they are the greatest distance
'Tom the subject you are interested in.
You never know what is going to help
you see something new and useful to
you in your work. The art of picking
up useful ideas in other lines of work
and twisting them into usefulness in
your work is a splendid art to acquire.
Many confess that they lose their
""head," then lose a sale because they do
not know hozv to do othenvise. Of
course it is to their interest to do other
zcise. Self-control can be raised the
same as sivect corn, if you learn how.
Ten Years Frctr. Now.
While studying a boy, who was
standing in the car aisle with hfs
nother waiting for the gateman to
out another coach on the train, I
wondered what our boys and girls
must know in order to make them
selves useful ten to twenty years from
low. Some5aiducators think higher
education unfits women for their best
sphere, and we all know that some
iinds of schooling excessive educa
tion unfits men for any kind of use
ful work. But true education never
'njures any one it helps every one.
Dver education is like running too far
efore you jump it hinders you from
ioing that for which you are running.
Some wise men are advising students
o cut off one of their four years on
fneir books and Invest it in some prac
tical line of work. A banker told me
It was easier to find new ideas than It
vas to get executive ability to promote
the ideas. One of the best terms of
rchoohng I have had was in a wrench
factory, for money, during vacation.
A better kncnvlcdge of irresistible eon
ctyions has helped many to stop end
fink rather than to fight and fail.

Thirty minutes a week for thirty
years is sufficient time for any person
to develop a useful side-line subject
to an altitude requiring international
attention.
Private time study requires a great
seli-contrcl. Generally there is no
time for it or too much time spent on
it. Zeal for a short time is easier than
persistency and good judgment for
decades.
One of the most successful lawyers

He attended a class after he had been
admitted to the bar, to overcome one
of his deficiencies.
Here are a few Items from my let
ter to yourg people on ten minutes a
day for ten years:
A mlmite is something like a dime.
It can be used usefully or abused
shamefully.
It can "be Invested In a way to bring
good Interest in a money-muscle-mind
manner.
It is fortunate for young people to
voluntarily see this manner.
It is expensive experience to have
to learn ft involuntarily.
Take a note book costing a dime,
more or less, and spend ten minutes
with it a day, three hundred days a
year.
In ten years that means fifty days
of ten hours each.
If, at the end of ten years, you can
say the five hundred hours have in
creased your ability from two to twenty-five
per cent you will not regret
your efforts.
You can do this, and if yon do it
you are sure to gain by it.
Every day add a sentence cr para
graph you think worth saving.
Watch for something to write or
paste in your book; have your eyes,
ears and mind ever ready to catch
good hints in your work and recrea
tion, your reading and conversation.
Every day re-read some one para
graph or sentence and try to twist it
into fresh shape to help you do the
best you can to-day, and, if possible,
better to-morrow.
Life is worth living when we know
how to live and live as well as we

How Foreknowledge Might Help
When a boy I had a pet Brahma pul
let, plump and good looking, of two or
three pounds weight. One day I en
tered the hen park and on coming out
could not close the gate. There was
a rubbery-spring of a resistance as
the gate came within a foot of the
post. As I opened the gate to in
vestigate, my pet pullet ran out a yard
and dropped dead. She had run in be
tween the gate and the building under
the lower hinge. That lesson in ac
curacy regarding gates and chickens
gave my affections a hard pull. If
my pet had been alive and my father's
hens all dead I would have suffered
less. That was expensive experience
I never killed another chicken by
that gate it made me think, look,
know more and it increased my accur
acy. Why could not I have learned by
observation what I learned by expen
sive experience? I could have done so
had I had my observation trained and
I have done so many times since that
event. An old German friend told
me that we stopped growing when we
stopped making mistakes, and I must
be growing every day because I am
making mistakes right along, but
there are many kinds of mistakes and
I want to grow by making those which
do not kill "pet pullets" if possible.
A Pennsylvania girl told me she did
not think it necessary to be poor in
order to be happy and I am trying to
see if we cannot learn by the valua
ble experiences of others and lessen
the necessity of errors and mistakes
on our part. We should become more
accurate and grow faster than we do
and good reading is one way to do it.
You know the eggs are there and that
the hens want to lay them zc hen you
fail to get results you know that there
is something wrong in the management
of them. Can you rczcord this to tnaki

GET EVEN WITH CRITIC.
Hew Richard Wagner Disconcerted
Presumptuous V.'riter.
When Idascagri was in Sn Fran
cisco recently one of his aceoo-nplish-ments
which most attracted attention
was his ability to conduct almost en
tirely without a score. Richard Was
ter in tne Tiis was once severely criti
cised in London for this very thing.
He was conducting the Philharmonic
concerts in the British metropolis for
a season and being a very ardent ad
mirer of Beethoven and, in fact, know
ing that master's nine symphonies by
heart, he selected several of them for
performance in the series of concerts.
After the first performance ore of the
prominent newspapers scolded the a;f
thcr of "Lohengrin" for directing a
symphony by the immortal Beethoven
without t'ne score in front o him. Ac
cordingly, at the next concert, young
Wagner had a book of music open be
fore him on his desk. The next day
a commendatory article appeared in
the aforesaid newspaper which praised
him for a very much better interpre
tation of Beethoven than his last
due, of course, to tae use of the score.
Whereupon Wagner secured his re
venge on hfs presumptuous critic by
announcing the fact that the score in
front of him the vvious evening was
that of Rossini's opera, "The Barber
of Seville" turned upside down.
Symptoms Diagnosed by Proxy.
Jenkins had left word at the doc
tor's office that he would like him to
call at his house early in the morning,
as he did not feel Well, and intended
to remain at home the next day. He
wanted a thorough physical examina
tion. Eut, as he happened to sleep
soundly and woke up refreshed, he
changed his mind about staying home
and left for his office at the usual
hour.
When he reached home in the even
ing his wife informed him that the
doctor had. called and left a prescrip
tion for him.
"How did he know what was the
matter with me?" Jenkins inquired.
"I don't know," said Mrs. Jenkins,
"but he just looked at me thoughtful
ly for a moment. When he had the
prescription written I asked him what
it was for and he said you had dys
pepsia." An Orchard Blossom.

to see the other morning what appear

buildings and wide streets, in the
clouds, with the base resting on the
placid waters of Lake Michigan. Tho
city's inner limits were a few feet
from shore, while the western ter
minal was lost on the horizon. Ite
IKirt of me .phenomenon hood brought
hundreds to witness the mirage.

is nearly opposite Mnskepon. The

Neither Knew Nor Cared.
General Ainsworth, who has made
such a name for himself as the head
of the record and pension bureau of
the war department, tells this story
of the civil war: The chaplain of the
regiment distributes the mail. ' On
one occasion a New York regiment
was very anxious about a delayed
mail and for hours had pestered the
chaplain with inquiries about it. Fi
nally the chaplain put up a sign over
the door of his tent, which read: "The
chaplain does net know when the mall

SolCier Vote in 1864.
George F. Elliott. who was a
'guest" of the Anderson ville. Charles
ton and Florence prisons lor 320 days,
says that in tho Florence pen 10.000
votes were cast for Lincoln and Mc
Clellan for the presidency, 7,000 for
Lincoln and 3,ooo for McClellan. The
ballots were black beans for Lincoln
and white ones for McClellan. "I
heard the commandant of the prison
say, after the result of the vote was
announced, that he wished he could
call out all those who voted black
and blow them into eternity. His
name, I think, was Harrison. One
of the inmates of the pen met him
some years after the war and gave
him a terrible beating."
The Question Answered.
Estill Springs. Tenn., Aug. 24th.
Many questions are being asked of
Mr. C. D. Holt of this place in regard
to his wonderful recovery. For over
two years he has been down with his
back. He was so very bad that he
could not even lace his shoes, and
from this condition he suddenly ap
peared well and strong as ever.
It is no wonder therefore that his
friends are asking him "How did you
do it?"
He tells them all: "Docld's Kidney
Pills did it," and adds "This remedy
is a genuine good medicine and one
that I can heartily recommend to
c-verybody.
"Everj-one around herd knows how
very bad I was. I was so weak in
my back that I couldn't do anything
that needed stooping or bending over,
and three boxes of Dodd's Kidney
Pills made me as you sec, as well as
ever I was."
"They certainly haC a wonderful
effect on my case."
When every other hope departs and
life looks like one long, dreary blank,
remember that the watermelons are
ripening fast.

The Resurrection of a Ccin.
A curious stcry of a coin comes
from England. Since 187ft and up to
a week or so ago there has Leen ly
ing in one of the oldest London banks
a sealed package containing one of
the famous petition crowns of Charles
II. known familiarly as the trial piece
of Thomas Simon. Simon made fif
teen of these in an effort to convince
Charles that he cbuld make finer and
more artistic coin than could the
Dutch. The coin in Question was of
fered twice for sale, unsuccessfully,
the last time In 177L . The highest
bid then was twenty guineas. In
1789 it was put away to be offered for
sale in 114 years. It is the property
of a well known nobleman and it 1
doubtful if he will follow out the pur
poses of his ancestor.
