P| Walter Hagen, the golfer, snys:
^"Never play for a safety, but always
If try for the cup."
j Kings In other trades as well as in
9??" have found that it pays to "toil
for the cup," remarks "Girard" In the
f Philidelphta Press.
X Safety shots are often careless shots
Pin business as in play.
L Rockefeller played six hole out In
Pthe oil world and he made a par and
^tben some.
P Morgan hammered the hull straight
?for the flag and It flew above every
bunker and sand pit in the financial
^ world.
P Col. "Tom" Scott had no safety
^ shots In his bag when dreaming out

^ -nnklln B. Gowen when he made his
master stroke in buying tbe Beading's
fecoal lands.
Theodore N. Vail, the telephone
^ giant, never minced his game nor re
sorted to a half shot to save his face.
e went out with the long stroke and
^ me home to the final shot with a
a -cord card to his credit
* Hie big-league teams play to win
fe the game, not to win a compromise or
^ tie the other team,
fc The great merchant nails his flag to
^ the mast, says "damn the torpedoes,"
h and shoots straight at his target.
So in business as on the links the
h adage should be: "Hold your head
atlll and play for the cup."

V
h Modern Business Men No Longer Rely
I oh the "Hit-or-Miss" Method of
^ Selection.
There was a time when picking emw
ployees was a hit-and-miss Job, a trlal^
and-ormr matter which few employers
w believed could be corrected. This Is
^ the day of doing things right and the :
9 mrwlnrn pmnlnvor now spli?PtInLr Ilia '
^ associates, from the office hoy to the
" man highest up, with as much care as
^ he would launch on an entirely new
" business venture. William Marvin
^ Jackson, director of the Personnel Pe"
velopment service, writes:
I "If employees are carefully selected, 1
" with an eye to their real adaptability
k and fitness for the work to he done, it
" goes without question that they are
k much more likely to take an interest
in their work, and hence, the business
k itself. If they are interested, they will
" get along well with their fellows and
k co-operate with their superiors. All of
" which means that they will grow, and
k there is no satisfaction for the em"
ployee greater than that which accomk
panies the-knowledge that he is get'
ting somewhere. Patting him on the
k back may make him feel good, and
paying him a good salary may make
k him work harder. Hut" giving him a
new Joh and bigger Job will alone
k make hitn supremely happy, will alone
make him work with complete aban^
don, with thorough-going enthusiasm.**

Australian Rabbits Selling Fast.
Rabbits have been doing great dam!
age In the grazing districts of
Australia, and strenuous efforts to
eradicate them has resulted In the killing
of a vast number of these animals.
Some 100,000 bodies are nwv
In cold storage awaiting shipment to
England. The embargo on the export
of rabbit skins was removed In T>e?
cenrber last, and the boom In rabbltskln
prices has produced remarkable
competition In slaughtering the pest.
The ruling average price paid to trappers
for skins Is now S1.82 nor nonnd
and the demand for skins by the
United States and European markets
la so great that it cannot be satisfied,
and it ia thought that prices will go
atlll higher. Experienced trappers are
making up to $07 per week for the

HONEYMOONS IN ODD PLACES
Persons of Adventurous Disposition
Hive Spent Them Amid Arctic
and Savage Dangers.
Mr. Elkins, the wealthy young
American who recently took his bride
for a honeymoon "as near the Nortli
pole as he can comfortably get," hi
by no means the first bridegroom who
has spent his "month of honey" lu
this chilly environment, says London
Answers.
A few years ago Mr. Max Flelschmnnn.
n Chicago millionaire, at his
bride's request, took her straight from
the nltnr to the Arctic wastes, where
they spent, on their own evidence,
"delightful" months, hunting seals,
reindeer and polar bears, two of which
fell to the bride's own gun. Mrs.
Flelschnmnn'a honeymoon wardrobe,
we are told, consisted of an assortment
of sheepskin dresses, lined with
leather.
Less chilly, but' no less adventxirous.
was the honeymoon journey of Major
Powell-Cottoo, who took his bride on
a long and hazardous Journey through
Africa, spending many months In the
heart of the Ituri forest, hunting the
okapl and making friends of the savage
pigmies, who had never before
even seen a wnne woman.
But the most daring and adventurous
of all recorded honeymoons
was that of Captain Andrews, an
American sailor, and his bride, who
started to cross the Atlantic in a
"cockleshell." 12 feet long, and were
never seen again.
INDIAN IDEA CF RECKONING
Time Designated fn Simple Fashion?
Journeys and Distances Told Off
by "Sleeps."
The American Indians of early days
reckoned tine by what they called
"sleeps" and "moons." The Indian's
"sleep" re/erred to a sun-to-stin day
of 24 hours and his "moon" to what
the whita man roughly and improperly
calls r month. The Indians indicated
the domu hour by pointing vertically
upward. To Indicate the middle of the
firs.- half of the daylight period?9
o'eVvk?hp pointed upward midway
between the horizon and the zenith
anil to indicate mid-afternoon ? 3
o'clock?he pointed toward the opposite
quarter. He spoke of the eastern
horizon as "sunrise" and of the western
horizon as "sunset."
Journeys and distances between different
points were measured in
"sleeps." Thus, when he undertook
to tell how far he hud traveled or to
tell how far one point was from another,
the old-time Indian would say
a certain number of "sleeps." Ordinarily,
a "sleep" In this sense corresponded
to something like 35 miles?the distance
n man could cover in a day, traveling
at an ordinary pace on foot.
However, It was not unusual for men
carrying important messages to make
twice 35 miles or more in a single 24hour
period.
New York Landmarks Going.
The "downtown" section of New
Tork Is losing one of Its landmarks
by the demolition of the Eastern hotel
to make room for an ofliee building.
For nearly a hundred years it has
boon tlie favorite hostelry of American
seafaring folk. "Dynamjte Johnny"
O'Riien, well-known for his praetlee of
shipping arms to the Latin-American
countries, concocted many of his filibustering
schemes in this hotel, which
he ninde Ids headquarters.
One of the features of this htilldI
Ing was its beams of solid mahogany.
In 1822, when it was constructed, cargoes
of supplies were frequently
shipped from New York to South [
American ports, and when a return |
cargo could not be secured mahogany
was brought hack, serving the purpose
of both cargo and ballast. These cargoes
were sold cheaply, and were often
used In the construction of New York
buildings of that period.

account of how she recovered her

"Health is the greatest thing in the

The windmill has not been generally
