A YOUNG MAN ADOPTED "HE ABOVE A8 A MOTTO AND G/T RICH. •VM Don't So «Mt Do vtti Thor cn* | VMMrtood miit i Wont-Good Adrleo. T like; Thoj Tonng Man Into Plcklaa Bo There Uvea fa the civ ot New York a man who haa accumukted quite a for tune by simply adviang people what to do. There always wjl be a large num ber of persons who a/o unable to rely on their own judgment; others come to a conclusion with ease and certainty. A youug man had accumulated a and was debating buy a small candy Whether he should lent) it on a mortgage This latter he knew was the secure way; the other promised . -great profits. In this perplexity he saw an advertisement, “Advise given to those going into business.” After stating his cate the counselor said: “My fee will be 16 fa advance.” When this was paid/ioasked: “Doyou understand the candy business? “No; I did not thhix it was necessary. I expect to supervlai it generally.” “Then you will I*se ail your money in three mouths.” / “You think I haa better lend the money on the mortgage? »I do not say that. What is your busi ness; that is, wist do you perfectly un derstand?” “I know the pickle business through and through. I can make pickles of all kinds, but I d* not like it." “Never misd what you like. Go and get a small place and make pickles; go from hotel to hotel, restaurant to restau rant, and tell them. In ten years oome back and see me; you will have $10,000 at least.” As the young man was going away he was called back. “Here is a card. I want you to put It where you can see it a hundred times a day.” These wore the words on the card: “Business is business. Men don’t do what they like, they do what they can.” THE FASCINATING CARD. The card had a strange fascination for him; he road it with care os ho walked along the street. As ho studied it, now light seemed to enter his mind. He found a dingy basement, and began to arrange for his operations. Of course vinegar must be got, several barrels of It; some was offered him at ten cents a gallon, some more was shown at five cents. “Which shall I take?” He thought of the words on his card. He seemed to see people testing his pickles, and, not liking them, depart without buying. “They will know good vinegar," thought he, and so he bought the honest stuff. In a few days several tubs of materials were ready, and he knew he must mar ket them. Now he greatly dreaded to face strange people and push his goods upon their notice. He never had courage -when a boy, and now as a young man he felt more timid it seemed. But he thought of the words of the oard, and entered a restaurant. The evident man ager was a blooming young woman, and the pickle dealer waa more' afraid of women than men. Bat “business is business” repeated itself over and over fa his mind. The answer to his statement was that his pickles would be tried, and. if found all right, would be purchased. , “Glad I got that good vinegar,’’ thought the young man; and he began to feel that there was a certain power fa the maxim his adviser had given. Be began to feel a courage he had never expected fa meeting people and trying to sell his goodji to them. Calling at a store to get, if possible, an order for pickles fa bottles, he wasquick- ly »nd rudely met with, “Don’t want to see any such sttill" Noticing the 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? Aa be retreated, ruffled and disheart ened, the maxim repeated itself over and over with this additional sentence: “It is business to put up goods attractively.” He eought out a lithographer and bad some handsomely colored labels printed. “They will buy the bottles,” said the friend, “Just for the picture you havo on than.” APPRECIATED ADVICE. When be had gained sufficient courage be again sought out the merchant who bad rebuffed Urn. “I have come to make you a present of a bottle of One pickles.” “Why do you make mo a present of them? “Because you gave me advice that was worth a great deal." The morning of one Fourth of July came, and he pondered whether to go to his (tore or not. All at once bo thought people going on picnics will want pickles. It was the magic words on the littlecard that ran through his' mind. He found, at he bad thought, a large number of buyers waiting for him.' The little card was consulted fa all sorts of weather. If a man made a pro pot i lion to him of any kind, and be waa i in doubt, ho would go and look at the words, though he knew them by heart already. One day a cheese merchant ansae to persuade him to buy his stock. I "People," said he. "who buy pickles always buy cheeee: you will do a big trade.” It was a temptation. He went and looked at the words and studied them intently, trying to think out their aDDUcation to the case fa hand. “Men dowhat they can," he reflected. "I would like to tell cheese, but I know 1 can sell pickles? then he returned. Now he waa resolute and firm, although by natnre easily bent and swayed by the voids of othtfie * “Business is business,” he odd. “lam fa the nickle business; if I cannot make money in this 1 shall quit and go into fiMiiitwy else; but I shall not have two kinds on nsy hands.” When the ten years were up o* oouree be had the *10,000, and more, too- Treasure Trove.

My neighbor keeps peacocks. .Suppose some of them should fly over into my yard— which they are doing all the time—and lay some eggs here. Would those eggn belong to me, orccnld my neighbor com pel me to give them up?" The lawyer, having duly scratched hia head, answered: “Well, Mr. Barnum, I most take time to look into this matter. Bat the best thing for you to do would be to keep the eggs and let your neigh bor sue for their possession. In tliat way yonr rights would be determined, and we shonld have a very valuable test cose.” “Well,” said Barnum, “while you are looking into the matter will you And out how it would be if the eggs were laid by peahens?” The lawyer swore softly to himself, but never inode any investigation.—San Francisco Argo naut A Unique Character.

An expert book reviewer does not need to reud a book thoroughly in order to de scribe it sufficiently for his purpose.
