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.

Charles S. 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?"
The negro had given Baltimore
as his home before he came to
New York.

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. Having been brought from the
A*./Jnrnn v.ncrcu fhft iirPvimiQ Rnrinc. h I
number of mares foaled last spring,
and all the colts lived and are doing
well, making more hardy animals than
their predecessors. 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.

It is a mistake to take calomel when 1
your liver is lazy and needs toning '
up. Hundreds of people in this section
have discovered that Dodson's
Liver Tone is a thousands times bet- .
ter and safer and its action is just <
as sure. There are none of the bad ,

I For attacks of constipation or bil- 1

are enough and Ladd's Drug Store
gives a personal guarantee that every

it. Money back in any case where it J
fails. 1

Dodson's Liver Tone costs only 50 t
cents for a large bttle. Remember t
the name because thr are any num- i

PASS THE NECKLACE AROUND
Jdd Compact Entered Into by Four

Glrle.
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

fo keep their hair.?Wide Awake Magazine.
