MARKS THE MAN OF BUSINESS Ability to Recognize Worth, No Matter Where Met, it One of the Greatest of All Gifts. "Seeing" men is an art. It amounts almost to second sight. Often, in a business "line," some man makes his way mysteriously and rapidly to the top, or near to it He does not seem to have greater trading ability than many others, nor has he been favored by a larger capital or a more magnetic personality. But he rises. His faculty of "seeing" men has been the magical force. "Seeing" men means recognizing, perhaps under an unpromising exterior, what a man really is or may grow into, and attaching him to an organization or staff. There are business executives that are geniuses in doing this. Their success is brought about in great measure by the efficiency of the body of men they have picked in this way. It happens many > times that a captain of affairs hunts lor yearB ior a iieuteiimiL ui vci iam qualities. He finds him at last, in Cinderella-like garb, far down the commercial ladder, a person a hundred other men who really wanted a man of just this type have pasBed carelessly over. They could not "see." It is no trick at ali to discover the man who has triumphantly made a record, who is already a personality In this trade or that. Unfortunately such a man is unfailingly costly. What he has done, moreover, is no positive guarantee as to his future exploits. Men of great reputation as lieutenants many times prove great disappointments when they shift. The chief who "sees" picks a man whose reputation is yet to be made, and thereby gets the profits himself.?Cromwell Childe, in Harper's Weekly.

Whitman, the district attorney, presented to the grand Jury investigating police graft in New York a few days ago a llashily dressed negro, said to be the keeper of a gambling house in Hark m, from whom he hoped?in vain, as it afterwards developed?to obtain evidence of police blackmail. "Do you know how to shoot craps?" asked a grand 'juryman after the negro had denied being a gambler, denied any connection with the police, and in fact all knowledge of official crookedness. "Oh, yas, suh, I kin shoot craps," cald the witness. "Where did you learn?in Baltimore?"

HCRSE RAISING IN ALASKA I Weather in Far North Not Too Severe ' , for Rearing Good Equine Stock. I Horse raising has recently been at j tempted in Alaska and the Yukon tev- 1 i ritory. A firm of miners in the Bur- 1 j wash creek country, 175 miles west of 1 j White Horse, Yukon territory, made 1 i the experiment successfully, says the ' , Indianapolis News. Owing to the 1 1 abundance of fine lands available for ' pasturage in Alaska and the Yukon, the growing of horses in the north should spread rapidly if subsequent tests in the Burwash creek country prove as successful as the first recorded. A pasture is maintained on the Duke river, where horses can live all the winter without being stabled or . fed. Last summer 25 brood mares were imported from Vancouver, and ; these are wintering nicely, all of them I being reported as being in good condi- . 1 tion. Late in the fall of 1911 a number . of horses used in previous summer by j the international boundary survey : corps were taken to the head of the White river, near the international boundary line, and turned out for the | winter.

Several instances are known in which colts foaled in the far north have grown into the hardiest horses, having become fully inured to the severity of the wintere. It has been observed that when horses have lived for some length of time in this region they become naturally protected from the extreme could by the growth of a longer coat of hair. Some instances have been reported in which horses have been seen with a crop of hair similar to that of the buffalo.

Like a romance of old Is the story )f the "Golden Necklace of the Berkshire*." In 1901 14 Pltlsfleld girls *ho had been friends all their lives desided that even marriage should not break the bonds. Together they had made for them a golden necklace of sxquisite workmanship. It was fashioned from 14 large beads, with smaller ones in between. It was agreed and determined that is soon as any one of the 14 girls.besame engaged she should wear the lecklace until her marriage, when It should be placed in a eafety deposit rault until another fell before one of Cupid's arrows. Should one of the girls become engaged while another tvas wearing it, It was decided that Lhe necklace should be surrendered lo the one who had last announced her intention of marriage. Such a con .ingency, nowever, ua? ue?? anocu. The binding together even after marriage ties, of the girls who demised the "Order of the Golden Necklace," comes in this manner: As soon js a girl becomes engaged her initials are inscribed on one of the large beads. When she is married those of ber husband are engraved on the opposite, together with the year of the marriage. Already seven have worn the ornament and it has become known that the necklace is again to be taken from its storeroom to adorn the person of Miss Rosamond Hull. Her engagement to Harold F. Morse of Binghamton, N. If., was announced by her mother. Brittany's Hair Harvest. It is at Easter time that the curious 'hair harvest" of Brittany is "reaped" by the traveling merchants, who go Trom village to village buying the beautiful hair for which the Breton belles are famous. This is later destined to be made up into "transformations," "fringes" and other mysterious arrangements with which lalies less abundantly endowed by nature make up their shortcomings in the matter of "woman's crowning glory." The clients of the hair buyers Eire chiefly country lasses in the remoter districts, who are only too pleased to sell their tresses in order to obtain a little money to spend at the Easter fairs. The "harvest," however, Lb said not to be so good as formerly, as with the spread of education and tha fo keep their hair.?Wide Awake Magazine. Host Prompt and Effectual Care for Bad Colds.
