BUSINESS MEN'S LUCK.
One of the fascinations of 'business
7. Ilea in its uncertainty. As Dr. Van
Dyke eaid of angling, so many a man
has said of business, "'TIs tn affair of
' , luck," and the great majority get on
Ihe wrong side of the luck.
' For every' fisherman who brings his
basket full of shining fish, there are
. hundreds who catch nothing, but some
-bow they've enjoyed It, and they al
, ways go again, aays the Christian
Herald. Some mercantile agencies
, claim that of every hundred concerns
etartlng In .business, ninety fail. Not
long ago a mercantile agency publish
'"T ed a list of failure In the United gtatea '
'H allowing .fil,jo! failures rdnrlng tfce :
preceding four years, an average of
nearly 13,000'a year.: : !.r ' , ,
Of course the unimaginative critics
declares solemnly that the failure are
due .in nine-tenths of the cases, to
Old Friends and New
Winning permanent, lasting friends is the work
of time, and this bank numbers among its clients
hundreds cf banks and business houses with whom
. it has had close relations for a great part of the
V twenty-four years of its existence
Our friends have helped to make this one of the
largest and strongest banks in the West. We have
helped in their making, too. . '
We welcome new friends and will attend to their ,
; ; wants with-the same fidelity which has cemented
out relations with our older ones.

-Eiisuiamtgement." You can't make
the men who have failed believe that.
You can't make the men who are start
ing new enterprises today believe that
success or failure rests wholly with
them and Is not very largely depend
ent upon conditions over which they
havg no control. Not much can be ac
complished by , preaching against
"luck" as an element to be reckoned
with in business. Every man will be
lieve Jn it, or In his own cleverness
and that isn't much better until he
has something better to believe In.
Even the hard-headed, well-seasoned
business man Is apt to be looking for
a lucky strike, or to anathematize his
luck when things go wrong. The luck
pocket piece, the good or bad omen,
the mascot, all are regarded with
some degree of respect by men who
certainly are old enough to know bet

Nowadays people do not
put in so much punctuation as tbey
used to do, but the pauses in the voice
are there Just the same and are readi
ly understood by good renders and al
ways regarded. The rests in music
are like the pauses in reading that are
needed to give expression to the sen
tences. If the player slights the rests
or extends them too long the whole ef
fect of the musical sentence is spoiled.

Ft Versus the Pen.
In speaking of personal recollections
of Dion Boucicuult, Henry Miller
dwells upon bis superb skill as a stuge
director and tells of the following in
cident, which occurred during; bis first
rehearsal under Bouclcault:
"1 went to him direct from Angus
tin Daly's management Daly coach
ed his players to cross and recroea tbe
stage during the progtes of the play,
with the idea that this continual mov
ing about of tbe actors treated dra
matic action. During my flint rehears
al I made a 'Daly cross' aa 1 spoke one
of my lines.
"Why did yon do that? Bouclcault
asked in his qualn., quizzical manner.
"1 explained that 1 Imagined it would
keep the scene naotiag.
"'Thanks, my boy said Bouclcault
dryly, ut If I caunot interest the au
dience vlth my pen 1 don't think you
can with your feet'"

ARE MICROBES IN .r
YOUR SCALP 7
It Has Been Proved That" Mierobaa
Caut Baldntst.
Trofessor Unna of Hamburg. Ger
many, and Dr. Sabourand. the leading
French dermatdloglst. discovered .that
a microbe cause tmldnes. Their the
ory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under tbe observation of
eminent scientists. This microbe lodges
In the Sebum, which Is the natural
hair oil, and when permitted to flour
ten it destroys tbe bair follicles and in
time tbe pores entirely close, and the
Scalp gradually takes on a shiny' ap
pearance. When this happens there
is Bo hope of tbe growth of balr being
revived. . - " v - -
We have & fehitdS which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex
terminate the microbe, .promote good
circulation in tbe scalp 'and around
tbe hair roots, tighten and revitalize
tbe balr roots and overcome baldness,
so long as there Is any life left In the
""" '-;,! ;....;" :.' '
We back up this statement witn om
own personal guarantee that this rem
edy called Rexall "03" Hair. Tonic
wl'l be supplied free of all cost to tbe
user if it falls to do as we state, '
, It will frequently restore graj and
faded balr to Its original color, provid
tng lc9 of color bus been caused by
dlseawe; yet It is in no sense a dye.
Rexall "93" Flair Tonic accomplishes
these results by making every balr
root follicle and pigment gland strong
and active, and by stimulating a nat
ural flow of coloring pigment through
out the balr cells.
We exact no obligations or prom
ises we , simply ask youT' to give
Rexall "03" Hair Tonic a thorough
trial and if not satisfied tell us and
we will refund tbe money yon paid
us for It. Two sizes, price f0 cents and
