IDEAS BEST BUSINESS ASSETS.
In the August American Magazine
a prominent business man describes
the way in which originality and rad

Wage of $15 a month, up to my pres

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.

"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.
