M ,J H n II K II If THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS WALDO PONDRAY WARREN SELECTING A MAN PICKING out the right man for the place, It often meaiurcs the difference between success and failure In a business. More often It measures the difference between a mod erate success and a phenomenal one. Twenty or more years ago a carriage factory was started with the Idea of doing things In an original way, and a man was chosen to carry out the Idea. He had had no previous experience In that line, but he had the right Idea and grasped the plan enthusiastically. The work began on a simple scale, so that the Inexperienced man Was able to feel his way. The business grew until It attained great proportions. The same man Is still at the head of it, not as the owner, but as the manager. He proved to be the right man for the place. It would be difficult to Imagine how he might have made the business more successful In that particular line. In thinking of this the thought occurred to me, suppose some other man had been chosen In the beginning. 8uppose he had had wide experience, but a different Idea. He might have made more rapid progress at the start, or he might have turned the whole business Into other channels and have given It a different character. He might not have been able to grow ur with It, or might have left It after the first year's trial. The present greatness of the business might have been un known to-day If It hadn't been that the right man was chosen when the business was small. (Copyright, WI, J JoMpta B Dowki.)

In easy, graceful gait he reminds one of Oscar Wilde., When the suffragists captured Brand Whlt lock they bent the antls several city blocks and a few acres thrown In. Brand as a vote catcher has more medals than a factory can turn out even If the factory works more hours than 'the law allows. The suffragist stock has gone up more points than an Inflated stock on the exchange. That Is why the suffragists are saying, "I tell you what It Is," etc. It Is a bit singular In view of all the arrangements made for the observance of the centenory of Lincoln that It has Just occurred to somebody In this town that the site on which stood the wig wam where Lincoln was nominated had been overlooked. The building stood at the northwest corner of Lake and Market streets. The structure wns an architectural monstrosity. The vicinity at the time was not Inviting One of the streets on which the build ing looked In a sort of cross eyed way rambled off In n diagonal course and stopped somewhero In a lumber yard near the lnkc. It was the market for produce. The sidewalks were jammed with chicken coops, apple barrels and flsh stalls. Between this street and the south branch of the Chicago river right back of the wigwam the dele gates and visitors got the benefit of a combination odor that aroused the sen sitive olfactories. It Is now recnlled that It was at this point where one branch of the grent tire crossed on Its way to the northeast corner of the town. The site was forgotten In tho rebuilding of tho city. A commercial building was erected on the spot, it had a spacious front of yellow lime stone, which in the course of time be came receptive to the damp atmos phere and oozed It back until the front of the building looked like wind and sun tanned leather. Even Fernando .Tones shut his eyes when he passed that way. New Chicago forgot, If It ever knew, that this was the site of the wigwam whore Lincoln defeated William II. Seward for the presiden tial nomination. Forty-nine years aft r. when the wholo country gets to mil-lug about celebrating the one hun dredth birthday of Lincoln, the city ' ' ' ' J--0-.'

Then the professor worked his Bcrecn I again. He showed that the baby npe I and tho human baby are mightily alike. I The simians in the audience applaud-1 cd. The simian section of the audi ence, Indeed, had the best of the show up to this point, but the professor veered from the ape a moment later and showed just ns conclusively, to his own satisfaction, Hint In n certain pre historic ago mau hud gills like the fish. The tin of a whale when bereft of Its flesh resembled the hand of n man. The contingent that angles for perch on tho government pier In summer screamed with delight. Then the professor took" another chute. Ho said that the antecedents of Americans had flat noses and lived In trees. Then the lecture came to a llnnle. As the audience filed out many were the queries heard as, for sam ple, "Are you an npe or a monkey V" and "How are your gills?" A veteran Chicago cabman died the other day. lie was on the stand long ngo, when horse cars were in vogue In the city. lie had seeu the cable come and go ainl then the electric cars. He wns here when the first automobile ap pended in the streets. He hnd watched the evolutions of trnlllc, but still he took his stand night after -night and waited for his load. Then he was missed. Some of his old cronies found him sick unto'death. He told them that all he asked for wns an assur ance t lin t h e would have nn auto f u n e r a 1. This was ptoni lsed. Then the c a b b y, w 1th a smile m his face, asked that after tho cortege had passed out of the crowded streets the boys should put on as much speed as the law w o u Id permit, cum neaii jiiii:aki.u And so It was the smxii m:i onu. done. It was the Hfbt automobile fu neral to be seen In Chicago. The cof fin was nlnccd in an auto ambulant c The pallbearers rode In tine machines The mourners had taxlcab, the friends runabouts and limousines. The pro cession wended Its way through the streets In a first class manner, but when It reached the open the man In front pulled the stopper out of his ma chine, and It came very near breaking the speed record. The "taxis" und the I other makes kept up with the proces sion. It was the strangest funeral pro cession that was ever seen In this city, but the friends of the deceased said It was just what the old cabby would have had It. "Every woman can be a Venus." The words were spoken by a woman. She was lecturing before a woman's club down In Indiana avenue. She .MM paused, nud her 3pKfe . nudleuce h e I d yr&P r? breath. Some of the ladies looked at their arms. The perfumed at mosphere of the room began to be oppressive. The s p e a k e r came a g a I n. "Nowa days," she add ed, "men haven't the time to visit art galleries, but wonieli can bring the beauties of the art galleries Into the home." ' Another pause Then the speak er dittoed tho . first r e m a r k. "EVI'.ltY WOMAN r m: a vesi's."' "Every woman enn be a Venus," she , repeated. Perhaps It was well that she diagrammed the bontence. "You enn't change bone, to be sure," she said, "but you can change the mold of the flesh to. &ult yourselves." There was u rustle of skirts. There was a flutter of dainty lace, fre.sh from sa chet receptnclos. Generous applause filled tho room. Possibility had come Into full view.

Africa the question of how to In . make use of the zebras Is exciting I considerable attention. There are great i numbers of the' animals in the dark ' continent, and the experiment of cross 4 Ing them with the horse has been made theie with greater or less, success. I The zebros or zebrolds, as tho result ing animals are variously known, are ) found lo havo special adaptability to tho African cllmatu and are being trained for army service. lu this country an experiment In the same direction which has been watched with Interest is being conducted nt the government's experimental station at Washington. Dr. Schroeder, the scientist In chnrge of the station, Im ! ported an ordinary burro mare from I l"l(B fl II 11,1 a ft ffv s 1 ltnM 41 ltn t aKhii -Ltua I1I1U liiu.wtu fid )IIM tut; S.CIHU sent io rresiuciu nooseveit irom norm Africa. The president turned the mil mnl over to the experiment station. j Now there is a colt, and the little zebra has some singular characteristics. The marking of Its zebra father Is re tained in the legs, which are perfectly striped, but from the legs up the re semblance to its mother Is more pro nounced. While the hair Is longer nnd coarser than a pure zebra's, It Is also Hne BaPXHIbHTEA BY CUNCMNSr.WAM.S I MR. ZEBRA, MRS. BURRO AND THEIR BON. darker than a burro's.
