' BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.
A YOUNG MAN ADOPTED THE ABOVE
AS A MOTTO AND GOT RICH.
**Men Don't Do Wbit They Uk«| They
Do What They Can*’-—This Young Man
Understood Pickles, and Into Pleklee Be
Went—Good Advice.
There lives in the city of New York a
man who has accumulated quite a for
tune by simply advising people what to
do. There always will be a large num
ber of persons who aro unable to rely on
their own judgment; others come to a
conclusion with ease and omtainty.
A young man had accumulated a
thousand dollars, and was debating
whether he should buy a small candy
store with it, or whether he should lend
it on a mortgage. This latter he knew
was the secure way; the other promised
great profits. In this perplexity he saw
an advertisement, “Advice given to those
going into business.”
After stating his case the counselor
said: "“My fee will be $3 in advance.”
When this was paid he asked: “Doyou
understand the candy business'/"
“No; I did not think it was necessary.
I expect to supervise it generally.”
“Then you will lose all your money in
three months."
“You think I had better lend tho money
on the mortgage?”
“I da not say that. What is your bush
ness; that is, what do you perfectly un
derstand?”
“I know the pickle business through
and through. I can make picklee of all
kinds, but I do not like it.”
“Never mind what you like. Go and
get a small place and make pickles; go
from hotel to hotel, restaurant to restau
rant, and sell them. In ten years come
back and seo me; you will have $10,000
at least.
As the young man was going away he
was called bock.
“Here is a card. I want you to put it
where you can see it a hundred times a
day.” Theso were tho words on tho
card: “Business is business. Men don’t
do what they like, they do what they
can.”
THE FASCISATOTO CABO.
The card had a strango fascination for
him; he read it with care os he walked
along the e&aet As-lie studied it, new
light seemed to enter his mind.
Ha found a dingy basement, and began
to arrange for his operations. Of courso
vinegar must bo got, several barrels of
It; some was offorod him at ten cents a
gallon, some more was shown at five
cents. “Whichshall I taker Bethought
of the words on his card. Ho seemed to
people testing his ‘pickles, and, not
them, depart without buying.
“They will know good vinegar,” thought
he, and so he bought the honest stuff.
In a few days several tube of materials
were ready, and Ho knew he must mar
ket them. Now ho greatly dreaded to
face strange people and push his goods
upon their notioo. Bo never had courage
when a boy, and now as a young man he
felt more timid it seemed. But he
thought at tho words of the card, and
entered a restaurant. Tho evident man
ager was a blooming young woman, and
the pickle dealer was more afraid of
women than men. But “business is
business” repeated itself over and overin
his mind.
The answer to his statement was that
his pickles would be tried, and, if found
all right, would be purchased.
“Glad 1 got that good vinegar,”
thought the young mam and he began to
feel that there was aoertain power in tho
maxim his adviser had given. He began
to feel a courage ho had never expected
in meeting people and trying to sell hie
goods to them.
Calling at a store.to get, if possible, an
order for pickles in bottles; bo was quick
ly and rudely met with, “Don’t want to
see any such stuff.” Noticing tbo utter
dismay on the young man’s face, the
merchant said, short and sharp: “Don’t
you know enough of business to put up
your goods attractively?”
As he. retreated, rubied and disheart
ened, the maxim repeated itself over and
over with this additional. sentence: “It
is business to put up goods attract!voly.”
He sought out a litliograpiicr and had
some handsomely colored labels printed.
“They will buy the bottles,” said the
friend, "just for tho picture you have on
them.”
APPRECIATED ADVICE.
When he had gained suilicient courage
he again sought out the merchant who
bad rebuffed him. “I have come to make
you a present of a bottla of fine pickles.”
“Why do you make mo a present of
them?"
“Because you gave me advico that was
worth a great deal.”
The morning of one Fourth of July
came, and he pondered whether to go to
his store or not. All at once he thought,
people going on picnics will want pickles.
It was tbs magic Words on the littlocard
that ran through his mind. He found,
as be had thought, a large number of
buyers waiting for him.
The little cord was consulted in all
sorts of weather. It a man mode a pro.
position to him of any kind, and ho was
in doubt, he would go and look at tho
words, though he knew them by heart
already. One day a cheese merchant
came to persuade him to buy Bis stock.
“People," said ho, “who buy pickles
always buy cheese; you will do a big
trade.” It was a temptatiq^. He went
and looked at the words and studied
them intently, trying to think out their
application to the case ‘ in hand, “lien
do what they can,” he reflected. “I
would like to sell cheese, but I know I
can sell pickles;" then he returned- Now
he was resolute’and Arm, although by
nature easily bent and swayed by the
words of others.
“Business is business,” he said. “I am
in the pickle business; if I cannot make
money In this I shall quit and go Into
something else; but I shall not have two
kinds on my hands.”
When the ten year* were up of course
he had the $10,000, and more, too.—

For we have learnt together love is meant
To make each bloom by mellow husbandry.
So, 'mid the acres of this teeming earth.
Where once 1 toiled In barrenness of soul.
And scorned each dry success, and saw no

In dreary pieces of a dreary whole—
Now, with thine image, when thyself* not by,

For thon dost champion each feat I try.

A Woman Stops a Itutmw.ty,
Mrs. Rollin M. Squire, who is one of
the noted horsewomen of New York,
was ont riding in Central park one day
recently, when a runaway saddle horse
dashed by her. The rider, white faced,
had dropped U- J s reins and was clinging'
to his jxominel for dear life, while the
animal was bolting along at his topmost
sjieed. Mrs. Squire’s saddle horse,
Harker, is one of the best trained ani
mals iu the world, and os intelligent as
a human being. Ho wheeled about, even
before his mistress could lightly pull the
rein, aud as she gave tho word followed
after the runaway. Harker is a Ken
tucky thoroughbred with tremendous
speed and soon overhauled the bolting
horse.
Mrs. Squire quietly seized the fallen
reins, ami as the two horses ran along
together brought them gradually to a
standstill, Harker doing his part as if he
had been in the business of stopping ran-

when to ho able to do things en prince
has its compensations. One of our lovely
young American matrons whose resi
dence has been in-London for a number
of yearn enjoys nn intimate friendship
with the daughter of one of England's
richest peers. Recently the husband of
tho New York woman died in London,
ami later the bereaved wife earns back
to her native land. From tho- moment
of her affliction until she eailod away to
bo with homo relatives her friend lavish
ed upon her the most delicate petenmptn-

Boxes of rare orchids and other oxotics
came- daily from the magnifioent con
servatories of the English vqpman, to
gether with hampers of choice fruits
from her hothoasas. Every day a visit,
a message or a gift to testify to her con
stant thought and sympathy. Loving
letters followed her to this country, and
a few weeks after tbo widow's arrival in
New York she received a package from
her friend which when opened disclosed
a rich jewel casket. Within it lay a
necklaoo of superb pearls, and on the
giver's card was written, “I send you
the tears, congcalod, which I havo shed
with yon in your sorrow.”—New York
