m ' 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.— — Trove. go companionlcss of thee; For we have learnt together love is meant To make each bloom by mellow husbandry.

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- • •SutoTl»i*BoweU»*%pr *. -Jchfldrer vat If emmenditMcupea^r.tlT ty prescription Kfrwntome.” B.
