In the August American Magazine a prominent business man describes the way in which originality and rad ical ideas won him a salary of S60.000 and promotion to corporntior proi dent after starting as handy boy yj u bank. He. sayst Prom hi y first job as handy boy .Vbbout a bank in my home town at a Wage of $15 a month, up to my pres ent position as president of a corpora tion at $60,000 a year, there is a trail so clear that today I can almost check off every step in it. For, every step is an idea. The revelation came to me when I was. till young enough to build on revelations that ideas are the most valuable possessions in the business world., I have never had occasion to change my mind. Where my as- sociutes have saved money il ' have saved ideas. And my rewards have always been greater than my ex- pectations. I was business adviser to dozens of large firms. Some . of them were swinging more business than their capital permitted, and consequently were riding for a fall. Half a dozen of mv customers were trying to do more business than their brain ca- cago restaurants refuse to entertain pacity allowed.

Who knows? T. H. AND L. A. ' i "Dr. Lyman Abbott, alitor of the Outlook, has had a long and exceed ingly useful life as minister and edi tor. He has always been progressive in his views, theologically and politic ally, transparently sincere, vigorous in expression, but never bitter, always jfuir and impartial," says the Kansas City Star. 'Never robust, he has not , . ,, , . , . , been 8 follower of outdoor sports, al- ; though he has nau rcmaruaoiy gooa health. "This is by way of introduction to the fact that Theodore Roosevelt pays a generous tribute in the current is sue of the Metropolitan Magazine to Doctor Abbott anj the Outlook. For lliP six years that he was in close as sociation with the staff he says he came to have not only the highest re gard for Doctor Abbott's ideals, but also great admiration for the practical way he worked to carry them out. He left the Outlook and his associates there, he adds, with his desire to work for what is good greatly strengthened and accentuated by his companionship with them. 'I owe them much,' is his concluding sentence. 'In temperament Doctor Abbott is almost the opposite of Colonel Roose- volt. It is interesting to learn what regard two men of such divergent types have had for each other for rjoctor Abbott often has expressed his feeling for Colonel Roosevelt and to what extent each has been indebted to the other." THE COATLESS MAN. "Coroner Hoffman, of Cook county, Illinois, has risen in. his might as the champion of the rights of men. Chi- to the most exclusive restaurant in Chicago ? Is this life less precious to J the nation tnan mat oi xne coouy garbed woman who dines with him? All hail to Coroner Hoffman, of Chi cago! He has started a crusade in be half of masculine comfort that will draw millions of becoated, overheat ed men to his banner... Equality be tween the sexes in all places and un der all circumstances is all that they demand.". . ' - JT PAYS TO ADVERTISE. It is the men who have least to "do who suffer most with the heat, says the Emporia, Kansas, Gazette. On Commercial street, the clerks who are fairly busy in this dull season are not complaining of the heat, while the clerks in the stores where they don't advertise are complaining. The same thing is true all over Emporia, and more complaints of the heat come from the men who have little work to be done than from the men who are busy. A, little work not too much work, but a little work is one of the best preventatives of suffering from the heat. We make this statement to Make our coming rise in advertising prices more endurable. 2 KINGS 4:324 And when Elisha Was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord. And he went up and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes and his hands upon his hands; and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him; and the child sneezed seven times; and the child opened his eyes. And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in un to him, he said, Take up thy son. Then she went, in and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out. v v 'b "i" -J v 4 4 -i- f STATE NEWS ! Youths Drive Auto Far.
