The Dlshon^t Man.
|M; is easy to decide success an
so pleasant. 'ft leaves one wit
Mrcling jiL 'TVilroiimng coplacet
^MHn^onty.. It is always easier t
denounce than it is to do. It furnishes
an excuse for not having
s succeeded, says an editorial in the
March Appleton's. Your moneyless
man leans back in his seat and
says to his fellow-commuter: "I
could be as rich as Moneybags, but
I would rather be honest. I have
I come to the conclusion that it requires
a very low order of ability
to become rich, if a man is willing
to do the things that are necessary."
Then he feels a glow of virtue
j which passes into bitterness when
he reaches home and finfids that his i
wife needs a new dress or his boy I
a pair of shoes, and he can not afford
to make the needed purchase, j
i ih outrage," he protests,
"here my family must suffer ber
cause I am honest, while old Monj
cybags gets more money in an hour .
than I can earn in a month?it is I
an outrage." I
j We are all familiar with the
stock exchange transactions, which
^ reach into millions of dollars daily.
Tn that apparently careless, hurryj
ing mass of humanity, when a man
? raises his finger and nods he wih
keep his word without question. The
history of the New York stock ex-j
j change ha" no exception to this rule.
But that is not an isolated case?
I it runs through the business world.
In China, perhaps the oldest busij
ness nation in the world over, what
j do they do? Tf a Chinese comprador
steals or defaults or is disj
honest, his European employer need
not worry. First of all, the money
is paid to him by the association of
, which his comprador had to be a
j. member before he could do business.
Then in twenty-four to fortvcight
hours this comprador cuts
his own throat?to avoid having if
cut for him. Ts it so with Japan?
Xo, because they arc just beginc
ning to be a commercial nation, and
they have still to learn.
The ultimate basis of business
transactions is mutual confidence

you ever stopped to think how few
banks have failed, and what a
minute percentage was lost thereby
when compared with the vast
total involved ?
Of course, every rule has an exception.
But canvass vour own
field ol real, personal, positive
knowledge and see if you can find
a single ease of permanent, lasting c
success based on dishonesty or uii- ii
fair dealings with eustomers. Temporary
successes there have been, 3
and always will be until man is per- ?
' feet. Some are going on today,
but, on the whole, what is your
honest verdict, without prejudice
or bias?
An Explanation.
I Mr. Polk Miller of Richmond
blew into the editorial office of the
Almanack like a fresh breeze from
the south a few days ago, and was
promptly asked, of course, for the
latest darky story in Virginia, lie
said it was about substituting a wild
turkey for a tame turkey. One of
his friends bought a turkey from
old Uncle Ephraim and asked him,
in making the purchase, if it was
a tame turkey. "Ob. yais, sir; it's
a tame tu'key ol right." "Xow
Ephraim. are you sure it's a tame
turkey?" "Oh, yais, sir; dere's no
so't o' doubt bout <lat. It's a tame
j tu'key ol right." lie consequently
.bought the turkey, and a day or
| two later when eating it he came
across sev eral shot. Later on when
he met old Kphraim on the street
he said: "Well. Kphraim, you told
me that was a tame turkey, but T
found some shot in it when I was
eating it." "'Oh dat war a tame
tu'key ol right." was Uncle Kph- t
riam's reiterater rejoinder, "but de
fac' is boss. I'se gwinc to toll yer
in confidence dat dem ere shot was
intended for me."?Advertisers' "
