The Philosophy Of Hustling.
The American moves rapidly, but
If you should Infer from this that
be- 1b always in a hurry, you would
make a mistake. His fundamental
pUJosophy is that you must be quick
sometimes it you do not wish to be
hurried always. You must eondense,
you must eliminate, you must save
time on the little things la. order
that you may have more time for
the larger things. He systematizes
hig correspondence, his office-work,
all the details of his business, not
for the sake of system, but for the
sake of getting through with his
work. In hia office hangs a printed
motto, "This is my busy day." He
does not arrive at the railway station
IS minutes before the departure of
his train, because he has something
else that be would rather do with
those IS minutes. He does not like
tot spend an hour in the barber shop,
because be wishes to get out to his
country club in good time for a game
of, golf and a shower bath afterward,
i He likes to have a full life, in which
one thing connects with another
promptly and neatly, without unnec
essary intervals. His characteristic
attitude la not that of a man in a
hurry, but that of a man concentra
ted on the thing In hand to save
time. Henry Van Dyke, in Ameri
can Magazine.
Wild Cieesc Scare Farmers.
Reading. Flocks of wild geese
have been flying northward over
Berks County the past few days. The
glaring railroad lights at Mohrsville
bewildered the hugo water fowls,
causing them to fly close to the

and "honking" aroused many farm
ers out of their beds, believing that
some one was trying to break Into
their homes. Few of the fowls were
killed, although farmers chased
them all night long.

Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.
R. G. Dun & Co. 'a Weekly Revlaw
says:
"With a somewhat severe winter
drawing to a close and with the sub
sidence of excitement in the financial
markets, the Industrial and, trade
situation shows Improvement, and the
outlook for the spring season, is
promising, it Is an easy matter,
of course, to pick flaws In the situa
tion, certain aspects of which are
unfavorable. Among these may be
mentioned the decreasing excess of
exports over Imports, the balance of
trade in favor of this country during
the current fiscal year belns the
smallest since 1896, and but for the
purchases of the American securities
during the recent decline '.here would
prftbably be heavy exports of gold."
Bradstreet'g says:
"Trade is still Irregular, and
spring trade is rather backward In
developing at many points. Wheath
er conditions, flooded streams anl
bad country roads are variously as
signed as reasons for the hesitation
shown in various lines, but back of
all these there Is an undeniable feel
ing of conservatism, bred of the un
certainty regarding the reception to
be given higher priced products by
the ultimate consumer.
"Beet advices as to trade come
from parts of the Northwest, the
. Southwest and the South, where
, spring-like weather has mr.de for
I better business.

The Real Squaw Mun.
Though it Is. happily, true that the
tie of civilized wedlock is generally
recof nized by the white men who
have taken the hands of Indian maid
ens in marriage, there are sad ex
ceptions. Some pioneers, govern
ment officials, and army officers of
high rank and low morals have never
acknowledged as their wives the
devoted Indian women united to
them by solemn tribal rites. And
here and there an Indian girl married
and then deserted, has had good
reason to sing with her far Eastern
sister the song of the Shalimar.
That such instances arc exceptions
among the Sioux Is partly due to
strict paternal discipline. The girls
are wise In their generation: they
not only insist on civilized marriage,
but, as a rule, they will not marry
a white man who drinks or gambles,
or Is not worth a thousand dollars.

WHAT'S THE I'SE
Sticking to a Hubit When It Means
Discomfort?
Old King Coffee knocks subjects
out tolerably flat at times, and there is
no possible doubt of what did It. A
Mich, woman gives her experience:
"I used to have liver trouble near
ly all of the time and took medicine
which relieved me only for a little
while. Then every once In a while I
would be suddenly doubled up with
an awful agony In my stomach. It
seemed as though every time I took a
breath I would die. No one could
suffer any more and live.
"Finally I got down so slok with
catarrh of the stomach that I could
not turn over In bed, and my stomach
did not digest even milk. The doctor
finally told me that if I did not give
up drinking coffee I would surely die,
but I felt 1 could not give It up.
"However, Husband brought homo
a package of Postum and it was made
strictly according to directions. It
was tbe only thing that would stay on
my stomach, and I goon got go I liked
ft very much.
"Gradually I began to get better,
and week by week gained In strength
and health. Now I am In perfect con
dition, and I am convinced that the
whole cause of my trouble wag coffee
drinking, and my getting better wag
due to leaving off coffee and taking
Postum.
"A abort time ago I tasted some
coffee and found, to my astonishment,
that I did not care anything about It.
I never have to take medicine any
more. I hope you will use this letter
for the benefit of those suffering from
tbe poisonous effectg ot coffee."

the skin and peel off, leaving the un

scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over th"
body, leaving the baby all raw with

of her head there appeared a heavy
scab a quarter of an Inch thick. It
was awful to see so small u baby look

Conclusive Proof.
A certain captain In the urmv was
summoned by his colonel to answer
a charge of assault preferred against
him by a sentry, who had stated that
the officer had used him pretty
roughly one evening at tho gate of
the barracks.
A humorous phase of the affair
was that the officer apparently had
no recollection of the alleged assault.
The sentry had made so bold as to
declare that the ollicer was Intoxi
cated. Among those questioned was the
captain's orderly, an Irishman, who
protested vigorously that the allega
tion of the sentry was a slander
that he was sure the captain was
perfectly sober the evening of the
alleged assault.
"Why are you so sure that Cap
tain Wank was sober that evening?"
he was asked. "Did he speak to
you upon his return to his quarters?"
"He did, sir."
"What did he say?"'
"He told me to be sure an call
him early In the niornln' sir."
"And did the captain say why he
wished to be called early?"
"Yls. sir, he did, sir. He said he
was goin' to be Queen o' the May,
sir," responded tho orderly with con
vincing gravity. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
