HIS JINXAT WORI Traveler Felt It When He Sav Those Whiskers. But That Didn't Prevent Him "Fall Infl" for Probably the Oldest "Sucker" Game in Existence, and Then Kickingi "Nice day!" said the stout man as h lowered himself on the seat beside nr in the day car with a parlor-car look " T rpmnrlcpd inst tn hnmn him, although I must say that I alwayi try to avoid a man who wears whisk crs. This man was wearing a No. ! face fungus with ear flaps. I though at first of asking him if he had to tak< - out a license for his face trimmings But, after all, I felt that he had a kirn face?what I could see of it?behin< the shrubbery, as it were. "Are you a commercial traveler?" h< asked, stroking his beard to starboard "No," I replied, "but I once had { fourth cousin who did seven years ii Jail for another offense. That was tin only member of my family who stray ed from the narrow path of virtue." "Lucky for you!H he snapped out pushing his plantation in my face. "It'i a dog's life. Everywhere you go peo pie talk about the peace." "Ah I" I interposed, "there is a peac< on, then? I thought I saw something about it in the press." \ "Are you an American?" he rappee out, getting nasty. "Yes," I said. "Are you? Or do yor lire In Hoboken, N. J." I felt ] would like to hare struck a match and started a bush fire around the wooded portion of his face. "I see you have some cuts on youi face," he remarked. "Yes. My tonsorial artist illustrated me with some funny cuts." "Ah!" he slipped in. "You should shave yourself and you would never have a face like that" I should like to have told him thai his was no oil painting. Especially did I hate his face mats. I detest a man who tries to look venerable by wearing face mats, when underneath he maj have the chin of a criminal. "Do you wear those germ traps od purpose?" I asked curiously. "Them's camouflage," he said. "Just to show what people look like when they don't shave. I travel for Raxro's safety razors, $2.50 each, and seeing you're a nice sort of a boob I can dc you one for $2. Here is the last one I have." I took it If it had been a scythe 1 Should have had a harvest with hia beard. Then I fell to thinking of his whiskers again. They were the . most vile whiskers I had ever seen.

"Seeing you are a good business V man," he went on. "what about a nice pipe lighter? I have a really good line at 25 cents each. Sorry I haven't got { one with me. but I can send it on. Nev- ^ er fails, and always lights a pipe or cigarette. In fact, it is one of the best ' pipe lighters, ever invented. .Just give 1 me 25 cents and your address and I ' will send it along." 1 Of course I fell. I handed him the ' e quarter and got out at the next station. 1 e Some days later a package arrived I at my villa.

Russia, it was said * by James Patrick Woods, a sailor, who arrived at New York recently on the * Matrosina. He was booked by the 1 : transport officials as "a destitute sea* j " ' man." Woods says he went to Russia on a * cargo vessel and was left there on ac- ! ' | count of illness. He went prospecting at a place called Kendaloska. In a J ' : creek, he says, he found "pecks and j ! pecks of diamonds." He also found j 1 rubies, and sat down on a rock only to ^ | find the rock was pure gold. He also ' discovered coal veins and radium. "1 ' had my pockets full of diamonds," he 1 said, "but the bolsheviks took them i I away from me. I am going to organize a eompany and go back."

Thomas & ( BAMBERG, S. C. Genuine Ambition Is Key !' to the Treasure Box of Success in Our Life Work "No chance" has ever been the excuse of weaklings, of those who fail, interview the great array of failures, writes O. S. Marden in the New Success, and most of them wiH tell you that they never had an opportunity ike others, that there was no one to help them, no> one to give thera a poost. They will tell you that the good places were all filled, that every occupation or profession was crowded, that :here was no chance for them because til the good opportunities had gone by. ret probably there is not one of them -vho did not have a better opportunity :han did Abraham Lincoln, the backvoods boy, or Booker T. Washington, :he slave boy. I have never known- a fellow who lad winning material in him to complain that he never had a chance. It s difficult to conceive an environment ;o forbidding that it would have kept ;ertain men from becoming successful. There was too much yeast in them. They had too vigorous an ambition to et obstacles stand in the way of their success. Circumstances have no pow?r to keep down a youth who is made >f the right stuff. Energy is always at a premium. Deermination never goes begging for a !hance. There is nothing which comnands such a price in the market as jenuine ambition, an unwavering resoution, a tenacious purpose to achieve something worth while in life. There s no success lever equal to the unlinching resolve to succeed in spite of my and all obstacles or personal landicaps. i 3/Numerous Articles That Are in Common Use Are a: J: I uiven nrusieauiny names Articles in common use that have nlsleading names are responsible for nany mistaken notions, says Pacific Travel.
