Ever since I knew of them, I have been wanting to employ Schwab, J. P. Mor- gan, and John Wanamaker, for there is no trouble in getting business—the trou- ble lies in getting them. A bad pup often makes a good dog; and I would rather undertake to reverse the force of a bad man than loan my own to a weak one. Many people labor like an ox or a mule, and have to be pressed or they will not earn their feed. Dont tell me what you have of beauty, strength, education, money or genius. The only thing I care to consider is what you are doing with it. we could get a shield from the fear of things that never happen, our troubles would be reduced go per cent. Many practice humanity to get the un- der hold. You can’t escape criticism, for if you save money, you are a miser and a hog; and, if you spend it, you are a spe¢nd- thrift and a dog. If you don’t know where success lies, perhaps you know where it is not, and that will show me what to avoid. _ Set your stake, and, before you reach it, set it further ahead. Some people kick at everything they don't understand. I would rather fail and know the cause than succeed and not know why. : He that opposes us sharpens our wits and becomes our helper. : I can tolerate a man who fails to ac- quire an education, or one who never gets a dollar ahead, but I soon grow tired of a person who does not have sense enough to have a good time. If you expect to make anything ex- pect to make mistakes. = “Female” Bachelors Multiplying. To read day by day of the number of female bachelors that are being turned out by the colleges is something quite startling. We shall see some astonishing figures when the next census is published in full. Already one doctor in every tweny-five is a woman, and one twenty-cighth of all the preachers are women. One-eighth of the college professors’ chairs are now filled by women, while one journalist out of everv twenty is a woman. In telegra- phy and clerking women show signs of vet taking the whole field. While such facts are multiplying, it is notorious that the marriage rate is stead- i ily falling. The whole face of society ap- { pears to be changing, for the woman | with a dipl is h og bh black and | a diploma is not looking for band. She is a bachelor. The problem of industrial independ- ence is gradually being solved through the new order of society which puts wo- man so largely at the helm of the world’s affairs. This, however, is not the only problem to be solved. When the world becomes full of women doctors and law- yers and professors, somebody must pro- ed to and pught— will 1d thems } Essions. What the World Demands. The world does not demand that become a great lawyer, a great ph cian, or a great merchant; but it do require that you shall so carry et through life as to uplift and not blight your fellow-men; so as to help and nat hinder, so as to elevate and not degrade them. It does ask that you shall ngt gain riches by impoverishing those who help vou to become wealthy, that your dollars shall be clean and not smirched with the guilt of trying to get ahead of your competitor by sharp practice; it demands that your wealth shall not be stained with the blood of widows and orphans, that you shall not lift yourself up by tearing others down. : The Dray Horse and the Racer. “All that hinders me from being as fleet as you,” the dray horse said to the racing horse, “is this long hair on my fetlocks. It impedes my motions. If I could have it cut off I would run against you, best three in five.” “All right,” replied the racer, “I will remove that long hair for you, and we will have a go.” So he gnawed the dray horse's fet- locks free from the long hair and the two ran a race, with the result that the dray horse was ignominiously beaten. But the racer jeered and laughed at him so scornfully that the dray horse kicked him to death. You can’t always tell how an instruc- tive little incident is going to turn out. Couldn’t Lose Him. It was late, and getting later. However, that did not stop the sound of muffled voices in the parlor. Meantime the gas meter steadily. The pater endured it as long as he could, and then resolved on heroic mea- sures. “Phyllis,” he called from the head of the stairs, “has the morning paper come yet?’ “No, sir,” replied the funny man on the Daily Bugle, “we are hclding the form for an important decision.” And the pater went back to bed won- dering if they would keep house or live with him. worlzed Saved by His Wits. “Hold still,” said the executioner, grimly, as he poised the blood-stained axe in the air. “Have you a little bird for me to look at?’ replied the victim, who had once worked in a photograph gallery.
