The merchant assented and, calling an errand boy, handed him the parcel with the.nlck el he had just received for it, and said: "Here, J oh n; take the car and take this parcel ont to Mr. Blank's honse."

C. R. Clayton, ;i Pension Commissioner. The Lewis and Clark exposition will pay all expenses and return a neat dividend to the enterprising men who advanced the money. This speaks well for themanagers and for all interested. It is the second exposition of more than "local prominence to return money to the ^subscribers, the first being the TransMississippi exposition at Omaha, which returned a fraction over 10 per cent. We would urge on our people the benefits of early shopping. Do not wait until Christmas Eve to make your holiday purchases, but start right in today or tomorrow and get the work done. You can do it better and with much less discomfort and inconvenience than will be the case if the business is put off till the r last.of the week when all the stores are rushed to their utmost capacity. Do your shopping early. How Joka Bar ftegarded critics. John Hay was chatting about his literary experiences with an intimate friend when the latter asked: "John, what feature or phase of this writing business has impressed you the most?' "Well," was the reply, and the speaker's eyes twinkled mischievously, "so far as I am concerned, ifs the things that the critics fish out of a fellow's v printed stuff that he never put there. But I suppose that critics, like the rest of us, have to show excuses for living." ?Success Magazine. Crockett's Revenfc. There is a story of Crockett of "Stickit Minister" fame to the effect that when he offered his first volume to a Scotch firm they returned it with a polite note assuring him that there was no market for that sort of thing. The letter was marked "No. 806b." In later years when the same publishers asked him for one of his manuscripts he politely requested them to refer to their previous correspondence with him marked "396b." >% bo? a-o a ^ gjo 8 ? g ?

I Many a man has tried to justify his failure on the ground that he was doomed by the cards which fate dealt him, that he must pick them up an<5 play the game and that no effort, how ever great, on his part could materially change the result But my young friend, the fate that deals your cards Is in the main your own resolution Hie result of the game does not rest with fate or destiny, but with you. You will take the trick if you have the superior energy, ability and determlna tion requisite to take it. You have tin -power within yourself to change the value of the cards which, you say, fate has dealt you. The game depends upor your training, upon the way you are disciplined to seize and use your op portunlties and upon your ability tc put grit in the place of superior advantages. Just because circumstances do sometimes give clients to lawyers and patients to physicians, put commonplace clergymen in uncommon pulpits and place the sons of the rich at the head of great corporations even when they have only average ability and scarcely any experience, while poor youths with greater ability and more experience often hav.e to fight their way for years to obtain ordinary situations, are you justified in starting out without a chart or in leaving a place for luck in your programme? What would you think of the captain of a great liner who would start out to sea without any port in view and trust to lucfe to land his precious cargo safely? Did you ever know of a strong young man making out his life' programme and depending upon chance to carry out any part or it / Men woo aepenu upon "lack" do not think it worth while to make a thorough preparation for success. They are not willing to pay the regular price for it They are looking for bargains. They are hunting for short cuts to success. Power gravitates to 'the man who knows how. "Luck is the tide, nothing more. The strong man rows with it if it makes toward his port He rows against it if it flows the other way."? Success. WAYS OF SWEDEN. It Is light all night in summer and dark all day in winter. \ Although drinking is common, one seldom sees a drunken mam Everybody trusts you, and you are expected to trust everybody. Ton take off your hat when you enter a shop and return the shopman's low bow. A servant who brings you something says, "So good." You say, Tack" (thanks). You get a bill every day at the hotel. This permits you to correct any mistakes at once. A barber will shave you for 6 cents, but you have to wash your own face and comb your own hair. Tips are everywhere given, but they nr? small. Ten ore (2V> cents) is the ordinary tip to a cabman or porter. A lady always waits for a gentleman to speak instead of the reverse, as In America?Minneapolis Journal. How a Great Aetor Lived. Charles. Mathews, one day previous t'o the period of his publicly proclaimed dire bankruptcy, invited a friend to dine with him. The walnuts were washed down by some rare sherry. "That's a delicious wine," his friend exclaimed. "It must have cost you a lot of money." "It didn't cost me anything that I know of," the flighty comedian answered, with a shrug. "You had it given to you, then?" the friend suggested. "Oh, no," answered Mathews; "I bought it from Ellis, in Bond streetP "But he will charge you something for it?' the friend exclaimed in astonishment "I believe he does write something down in a book," Charles retorted gravely. "Let's have another glass, my boy." G. Frank Bamberg handles the best buggies and wagons, yet the prices are reasonable. i > U >. W Of ?
