Atretic Club's Manager Planned Functions
Which Won Praise of Foreign Princes
By MELLIFICIA.
THE war and new enterprises are bringing many interesting folk to our
city. Tire-new Athletic club's manager, Robert Magill, has some fasci
nating tales to tell, and reading between the lines a society editor can
glimpse roseate visions of a master artist executing appointments at future
functions in the 'fine new club house, sufficient even to satisfy her insatiable
desire for "copy." .
When .Fnnce Henry of Prussia visited America in 1902 he was enter
tained at an elaborate banquet in the Missouri Athletic club. The dinner was
planned and executed by Mr. Magill, who was then manager of the club, and
the Prussian prince was so" delighted with the beautiful appointments of the
dinner that he presented Mr. Magill with a handsome scarf pin of gold. The
German eagle was emblazoned on the pin in rabies and diamonds.
Frince Fushimi, son of the mikado, was honor guest at a banquet at the
St. Louis club also. His delight knew no hounds when he entered the beau
tiful.' dituhg room, which had been transformed into a veritable fairy land.
The huge yellow chrysanthemum, emblem of the mikado's land, and Ameri
can Beauty roses were used in profusion in the room, and with the shaded
lights if was really a wonderful sight. A silver bon-bon case was given to
Mr. Magill by the Oriental prince as a token, of his esteem.
A:terrible fire swept the club in 1914, totally destroying it. It carried
away the gift of the Prussian prince, but for this Mr. Magill has no regrets.
He eviti apologizes as he tells about it nowowing to the unpopularity of our
Prussian visitor. v
MY. and Mrs. Magill were presented with a gold medal for their heroic
action during this fire. With no thought of themselves, they worked valianf
ly, rescuing 22 of the guests from the burning building. The gifts of gold and
6ilver have Teen lost,' but the medal simply inscribed, "Presented to Robert
Magill by the grateful members of the Missouri Athletic club for heroic ac
tion on the night of March 9," is the most valued possession in the House o'
Magill; .

Character is a Valuable Asset
. In Making for Your Success

Re-Use of Coffee Cans
A large grocery concern in Duluth,
Minn., is purchasing for the Vocal Red
Cross, all clean and undamaged cof
fee cans returned by housewives suit
able" for use again after sterilizing.
Money for these cans is paid to the
Red Cross and housewives are en
listed for teamwork, newspaper an
nouncements explaining the idea.
These newspaper announcements are
paid for by . the grocery concern,
which gives . tly Red Cross 2 cents
each for cans. As something more
than 1,000,000 one-pound cans of cof
fee were distributed through the,
northwest last year, it is planned to
EVERY business man or woman
must stand or fall by his quali
ties of character as well as those
of mind.
Mental development alone produces
a "thinking machine" cold, imper
sonal, mechanical, unlovable. It re
quires personality individuality to
command the regard and liking and
faith of employers or associates or
employes.
A few years ago the owner and
founder of one jof New York's largest
specialty houses died and left the
"good will" of his business, together
with its copyrighted name and a con
trolling amount of stock, to one of
his trusted employes.
Do you know what that meant? It
signified that the man who had built
up an honest house of good character
felt that he dared leave the thing he
had created to a successor who was
related to him only in aims, character
and ideals. He knew the name he had
made honorable would not be
smirched that thqt controlling amount
of stock belonged to the man who
would use t even as the founder of
the business had used it But he knew
more that the very spirit of his be
loved business would continue under
the guidance of his successor.
Depends on Habits.
Habits of honesty and loyalty and
perseverance are easy to form or not
to form, as the case may be. Char
acter itself depends on these habits.
Reputation comes from, character.
And standing in the business world
comes from reputation based on char
acter. The big credit systems are
based on character as well as on bank
accounts.
A sudden clever stroke may win
recognition for a man or woman. Peo
ple say, "He struck 12 then." Why
does 12 never strike again for that in
dividual? Why can he never again
"deliver the goods?"
The reason is here: That one suc
cess was either an entire accident or
an accidental use of powers that are
not trained to come automatically into
extend the system from Michigan to
Idaho, paying the Red Cross for re
turned cans at branch houses in
Minneapolis, Fargo, Grand Forks,
Minot, Billings, Great Falls and Mis
soula. Such a plan might be found
practical in other sections of the
country.

use all of the time. Character and
power are built, slowly on right hab
its of feeling and willing and acting.
The kind of family into which you
are born and the early training you
get happen to you. You do not
choose them. Even your physical
characteristics are to a certain extent
beyond your power but you can
choose what you think about and how
you act.
Through what you will to do, and
through the habits of willing and do
ing and acting, your future is molded.
Train for Success. ,
. "The living sense grows but by ex
ercise." That applies just as much to
your attitude toward life as to your
power to think or to your ability to
breathe. The athlete trains himself
in a certain way. The student trains
his mind as purposefully as the wrest
ler trains his body. The business man
who wants to succeed has to train,
his mind and his character.
Don't expect "Pull" or "Luck" or
"Favoritism" to give you your chance.
Even if the general manage of a
company takes a sudden fancy to the
office boy, he cannot make a head

himself to work and think and do the
square thing he is bound to rise. The
