GREAT MAN'S SENTIMENTS
As Expressed by His Seretary UndeI

Be Wondered At
"I have been requested , " sai
thc great captain of industry , ad

Record . lleeald , "to write a mag
azine article 011 how to become u
magnate. I want you to get Ul ;
something that will reflect credi1
on me and make mJ' friends wonder .

Three days later thc great man
read thc article to which his naml'
was signed , and again addressing : ;
his third assistant secretary said :
"This is exce lIen t. MJ' reasonS
ing is perfectly clear. The : young
,
man who CUI't after rending this
article of mine start right out and
become 11 captain of industry is a
hopeless case , and don't deserve
success. : My log c' cun't be beat ,
my literary style is beautiful ; J
have free and easy command of a
whole lot of fine , big , sounding
words that I don't know the n > cati .
ing of , and , taking it altogether ,
I'm mighty proud of IllJ' ability as

tN' article than this one of mine .
on how to get to the fl'ont. The I
qualifications needed ; how to sP .
cure thc best returns for the ef
forts expended ; where , vlien and
how to begin ; aH these things are
so clearly set forth that I don't
see bow anyone who can read them
without understanding wheY J
have clulll to thc top.
"That's a mighty good point you
make there about the importance
of asking for wha t's wanted , too
TIm t's always been one of mJ prin.
cii ) les. Things don't come to pee
pie in thhis world. You've got to
reach for them , and if you cun.t !
see what you want , you'vc got to
aqk somebody to pass it along.
I'd be mighty sorry if J'ou'd forgot
to h put that in. Everybody who
knows mc will at once recognize
them as mJ' scntiments.

Young man , do you know $18 a
week is u whole lot more than
you're worth ! You ought to get
down on Jour knees to me every
day and thank me for keeping you
here. But fill a liheral-mind ]
man , and I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'm to get $350 for this article
and I'll give you $20 of it as a pres.

How the Six Hundred Rode Into the

Single Warning.
Sergi MacaulcJ' : , who died on

eight comrades , and only two of
them returned at night. I rode

called Herbert. 'Ve had not gone
far before Herbert was killed b.r
n cannon ball. A moment 01' two
after my right-hand man had his
head taken clean off by a round
shot. His trunk kept upright OJ
thc horse for several yards and
then fell over near me. : Men and
horses now began to fall very fast ,
and wc galloped as hard as ever
could.

CALIFORNIA TOMATO STORY
Planted in May , the Plants Climb
Twenty-Foot Trellis in About
Three Months.

Throughout the winter months ' , t
when easterners were crouching
about their tires and shivering ,
and nature growths were either
asleep 01' frozen stiff with the
cold , F. J. B'ates , of Pasadena ,
Cal. , was in his garden climbing
an 18.foot ladder to gather his va-
rious crops of tomatoes , says the
Scientific American. He mar
three plants which have reached !
n length of au ( ) feet. They arc of
the species Ponderosa , but these
particular ) plants have surpassed ) . . j ;
in growth anything previously attempted .
)
tempted bJ' their kind. The ; seeds
' '
' 'I
were planted in slay , and three . "
.
months from that time they had
climbed to the top of a 20.foot
trellis. 'Vhen they t reached thi-\
.
remarkable height they waved
their flower-tasseled heads wonderingly . - i
deringlJ' , then turned around and I
grew backward until they have . ,
"
attained a length of 30 fect. As < , .
thc vines are still sprinting ' Jack's
beanstalk must sink into obscUl" '
ity and transfer its fame to these
irrepressible tomato plants. They
have had no especial cure 01' cultivation -
tivation , and have had no protection , . '
tiOl1 from the weather , yet , iI , .
'A'
spite of every disadyuntrige , they er ,
have kept on growing and fruil- hf . ,
ing in the most astonishing fash-
ion. Time trunks of these vines -
are one and one.half inches in di.
ameter. Thc foliage is thick. fi4J ! '
and luxuriant , and at all times f , i-l ,
blossoms , green fruit and ripe
fruit can be seen on the Vincs.
Enormous quantities of tomatoes - !
