PUNCTUALITY AN ELEMENT OF
SUCCESS.
Amongst the essential parts which
contribute to success in life there is
one ol f,reat value, but one, if neg
lected, of little value. We speak of
punctuality. To be punctual in al
things is the first law -of success obi
ligatory upon you. Louis X. I. V.,
who was the most successful, or
among one of the most successful
military men that ever led an army
said : “Punctuality is the politeness
of kings.” He need not confine his
sayings to royal blood alone, but it
might be. and is applicable to the
whole race of mankind. Punct
uality is politeness in everybody.
Success and happiness relies more
than any one might suppose on the
degree of our punctuality. It is not
enough to do the right and proper
thing, nor in the right way, but you
must surely do it in the right time,
or else you will not, and cannot ex
pect rewards for your labor. We will
quote the notable utterances of that
grand, heroic English Admiral, Lord
Nelson, who said, “I owe all my suc
cess in life to having been a quarter
of an hour before my time.” He
attributed his success in life, which
conduced most essuredly to his hap
piness, to punctually. Even, our
own lament, peerless Hill’s success
was due, to a large degree, to this
important factor in his life's grtat
drama which he so wonderfully acted.
Yet there are thousands, yea, tens of
thousands who never realized the
worth of tnis simple duty, their duty
of punctuality—but have failed, sim
ply because of not executing this
powerful element of success.
Again, there is nothing animates
the confidence of a person in another
than this clement of success, nor is
there anything that saps his esteem
as a man of business than always be
ing behind time. He will not, and
Tortured By
Rheumatism.
A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy Is the Only
Cure.
If the peoplo generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, thero
would bo no such thing as lini
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
Of the blood —it can be reached,
therefore, ouly through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is au obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy —something more than
a mere tonic. Swift’s Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
t>f even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago I was taken with in-
flammatory Rheumatism .which .though
mild at first, became gradually so in- ;
tense that I was for weeks unable to ;
walk. 1 tried several prominent physi- |
clana and took their treatment faith
• * u Jlj.but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to

of a friend 1 decided to

K u *rdian, who was a
ied the remedy, and pro
of potash or mercury.
j cannot command neither the respect j
! and esteem nor the salary that a man
| who is always punctual, can, and
j ninety-nine times out of every hun-1
i dred will always be out of work,
i I bis might be more graphically iilus- j
I rated by the following story : “Once
i a merchant realized that he needed
an office boy who was energetic and
industrious. So he advertised for an
office boy. Two bright boys, appar
ently, applied. He told them to ap
pear at his office at 8 o'clock sharp
j the next morn. At the appointed
| time, the one was there, two minutes
| later, the other ony appeared. The
j one was chosen; the other was not
| given any consideration for the po
sition at all.” Why? Because of
non-pnnctuality. So with every bus
iness man, time is money, and lie who
robs him of it, does him as great an
injury *as if he had picked his pockets
or-paid him with counterfeited bills.
The whole universe lends evidence
of the importance of punctuality.
Obsetve the Heavenly bodies, how
they keep accurate time in their rev
olutions, and how each one as it
goes around the sun annually comes
to its place at the appointed time. So
in business and in all avocations of
life, punctuality is the soul of them.
If your time be rightfully filled, each
and every moment will have its spec
ified duties. Successful men in every
calling have had a* peculiar sense of
the worth of time, its conduciveness
to their happiness and content. Each
hour, as it parses swiftly away is gone
to the dead past. Lost wealth may
be regained by toil, industry and
economy; lost health may be recov-;
ered by medical skill; lost friends |
may be regained by proper actions;
but lost lime can never. While you j
read these lines, it is numbered with j
the dead past and dying present.
There is no recalling, no regaining,
nor restoring time that is lost. You
must make the most of time while it
flies, for we sure have no right to
waste lavishly this God given element
of success.
If a certain piece of work is to be
done we are too certain to put it oft
until a better time. Such delays are
often the source of much unhappi
ness and discontent. It is easy to
say, “Wait awhile”; so easy to let the
burden 01 to-day’s work fall on to
morrow's. We should never put oft
until to-morrow what should be done
to day, for when tomorrow comes,-it
lias its own specific duties to be per
formed; hence we simply have a
double burden that should he per
lormed, but is delayed. Remember
tomorrow never comes.
How easy it is to show by example
from the lives of all great men that
punctuality is one of thd great ele
ments of success and happiness. All
great military men have exhibited this
habit in a large measure. Robt. E.
Lee and Stonewall Jackson whose
lives should inspire the life and ac.
tions of every young man, possessed
this’facultyto a great degree. The
punctual man’s word is as “good as
his bond,” his credit is not doubted.
To sum the whole truth up in a nut
shell, every position of worth that
leads to the grand and glorious con
sumation of success, is open to him.
A adopt this element o
success which is of so vital vital im
portance to you and your success in
the future as one of your constant
habits ic life. Let your life be in
spired by the examples of the great
men of history who have gained many
victories under many seemingly in
surmountable circumstances by al
ways exercising the habit of punctu
ality. This will be a valuable agency
of your future success.

FROM BOHEMIA.
Van licuHstlaer had sat through many
an embassy dinner, eating messy dishes
out of ribbons and frilled papers and
offering bis polyglot remarks to many a
foreign celebrity, but be glanced to
ward bis left baud neighbor with some
apprehension as he finished his soup,
making a hasty study of the jirincess,
with her blue black hair and her swar
thy side face. There was a display of
shoulder and blazing green jewels in
the corsage, an impression of large out
line and it pervasive personality. Clear
ly she was not attractive, he decided,
and then, as she finished what she had
been suying to the man who took her
out and turned toward Van Rensselaer,
he instantly reversed his judgment
under the compulsion of her dark eyes.
Whether or not she was handsome by
ordinary standards ho could not have
told, but attractive and interesting cei
tainly, and inexplicably odd. With her
large red lipped mouth and gleaming
white teeth she might have been a quad-'
roon or she might have posed to good
effect as a gypsy queen in private theatri
cals. Mho spoke to him iu French.
“I suppose you are a senator or a gen
eral, or perhaps a cabinet member? You
American men are so ostentatiously
plain in dreks. You übstaiu so carefully
from wearing your decorations on your
evening coats that a poor foreigner may
not know."
He laughed. She was audacious even
for a princess.
“I um sorry, your highness, but 1
have neither office nor insignia to my
name. Indeed I have been puzzling my
inglorious head not a little to know
why lam placed so illustriously at your
side!”
But he knew, and so did she, that it
was because he spoke French like a Pa
risian and was the cleverest diner out in
Washington. It wus not until tho first
entree that they again took a turn, and
she passed with evident relief from the
heavy German of the Austrian embas
sador to her more accustomed tongue.
They tasted and hazarded suggestions
as to the composition of the dish before
them.
“Permit me, monsieur,” she broko
off suddenly. “Allow me one more
guess, more intimate—personal! lam
a cluirvoyuut, it has been said, and I
have taken a great liberty. I have been
reading your thoughts. Will you allow
me to tell yon?”
Van Hensseluer bowed, smiling his
incredulity.
“You dome much honor, niadarae!”
“Very well. You were looking down
the table a moment ago when I address
ed you, past the greeu aud gold Bohe
mian glass. I do not know what you
saw. but it was something very far
•way—oversea, I think.” He flushed
slightly aud assented. "We spoke of
the entree, your luiud on other things.
1 said, ‘lt is made of fish, I fancy,’ and
you replied, ‘Since it is a game of guess,
I choose lobster. ’ What you were think
ing was, ‘lt is tho world old mess of
pottage—to be henceforth my daily
bread!' N’est ce pas, monsieur, un bon
husard?”
Van Rensselaer finished his wine and
set down his glass. He was not smiling
now, and the flush had died out of his
ebook. He looked at her with a gravity
very like displeasure.
“Your highness i* indeed clairvoy
ant. It was not a guess. It was the
truth. Princesses always tell the truth,
do they not?"
She made no reply, and the jewels in
her piled up hair burned not half so
deeply os her eyes. He wished that peo
ple who were clairvoyant would not
fall to his lot at dinner. It was distinct
ly uncomfortable uud not conducive to
good digestion.
“Is it too much,“ said the princess
softly, “to ask what the birthright
was?”
It was too much decidedly, and yet
before he kuew be answered, “Music."
“Ah!" murmured his questioner.
"And uow?”
“Now," said Van Rensselaer, smil
ing once more as he shrugged his shoul
ders, "uow, I am Darby. But perhaps
Darby and Joau are not indigenous to
Russian society."
Through the orchids a face was 6mil
iug greetings to him.
"How despairingly charming!" sigh
ed the Russitui as she laid down her
lorgnette. "And that is Joau?”
Thero was au exasperation for Van
Rensselaer in the finality of this wom
an's intuitions.
“Priucess, " he said when next they
turned toward each other, "I am haunt
ed by u resemblauco. 1 think my sub
conscious mind, if I have oue, had gone
wandering over time and space to veri
fy it when you caught me uappiug. I
have uever seen but one woman who
looked like yon—it was years ago in
aiy student days. She also was a prin
oess—of Bohemia!”
"That was ouco my country," she re
plied.
Van Rensselaer langhed. “But not
hers —or mine. There is another and
greater Bohemia where such as yon
may not dwell. Yours is geographically
located. The other is pot It is No Man'a
Laud. As It happened, that other prin
cess belonged to both Bohemias."
“Whowassbe—and what?"
"Pardon met She had joar ayes, but
; not your ancestry. She was a gypsy vio
i linist Itt Prague. I have never since
i seen eyes tike hen until tonight, and
1 shall nevar again bear a tone like that
grorn her violin. ”
t If he thought he bad oonisbed her.
be was mistaken. She drew in her
breath with an odd little sigh and look
ed at him from under her lowered lida.
‘‘l again read your thought, mon
sieur, and 1 honor yon for it. Yon are
saying to yourself that her real rank
was as far above mine as yonr Bohemia
was a happier land to dwell in than —
let us say Russia!”
It was after dinner when the women
Were grouped in knots iu the long draw
ing room that the princess managed to
learn what she wanted to know of her
neighbor at the table.
‘‘Van Rensselaer—oh, yes!’’ said the
hostess. “We call him Fortunatns; he’s
such a lucky dog. He's the iast of an
impoverished old American family—if
there is snob a thing as an old family
iu so yonng a country—und was quite
out of sorts with fortune when he met
his wife. I believe he was knocking
about Europe consorting with all sorts
of shubby mns-ical people, studying to be
a piajiist. She fell so desperately in
iove with him that her father was
obliged to allow the marriage. She had
always had her whims gratified, and
she threatened to kill herself if denied
this one. There was some delay about
it, and then the wedding took place,
with the compact—so I have been told
—that ho was to give np his profession.
I fancy that was no great hardship,"
she laughed, “as the price was $3,000,-
000 down and the baud of the richest
heiress in America. It is not a difficult
metier to be tich, princess!"
“I think it is sometimes very diffi
cult,” was the* surprising answer.
It was at the bidding of a scented
note with a coronet on it that Van Rens
selaer found himself a few days later
entering the apartments of the Russian.
“It’s a thundering aunOying sort of
filing having your mind read, nud I
hope she won’t be up to it again,” he
grumbled.
She was clad in flowing red garments,
ornamented with gold filigree, and a
fineiy wrought gold girdle hung down
from the clasp to the hem. Van Rens
selaer felt the costume to be so barbar
ic as to be out of good form—too theat
rical—and yet her manner was simple
enough.
"We were speaking that night,” 6he
began as if they had just left off, “of
mnsic, Hungarian music, or were we
only thinking of it? I was hoping you
would play for me today.”
“I never play, never touch a piano
any more.” And he felt a thrill of an
noyance, as if someone had pushed
against him roughly.
The princess arose and crossed the
room, taking up a violin that lay on
the open piano. “Then yon will listen
to me?” she said.
It was Schubert, and she played with
such mastery of the instrument, such
sympathy and love of the work, that
Van Rensselaer was moved out of his
reserve. He laid aside his hat and
gloves nud sat down by thepiauo. Once
more ho threaded through exquisite
harmonies and filled the scheme with
the piano accompaniment he knew so
well. For more than an hour they play
ed with no words save: “Do you re
member this?” or “Another composer
has solved that problem thus—you know
it,“ leading aud following by turns
through those paths where only musi
cians may walk in happy knowledge.
“And now, “said the princess at last,
“do you remember?” She stood straight
and tall in her barbaric reds, the gold
ornaments gleaming in the late slanting
light, aud Van Rensselaer had no need
to wait for the strains that were com
ing. He was back again in student days,
aud through the cigar smoke of the mu
sic hall in Prague he could see the gita
ana, more slim aud girlish, but with
the same strange eyes and the blue
black hair, while above the clink of the
beer glasses and the soft shuffling of
the waiters’ feet he could hear the
witchery of her gypsy music—that half
remembered strain that had teased him
so often through the intervening years.
Back aud forth flashed the bow while
her figure swayed to the mad motions,
and then came the sad cadence with the
heartbreak in it that often chaiacterizes
the Hungarian music. Here she broke
off aud laid the violin on the piano.
Then she came aud put her hand on
Van Rensselaer’s shoulder.
“You know me now. I also was a
Bohemian and I also sold my birthright
for a mess of pottage I Ah, comrade, it
is a grand couutry, that Bohemia! But
we were not worthy of it, and there is no
going back ! But it is still left to us to
be true —true to a compact, and one dis
honor is enough I"
The princess held out her hand in
farewell and dismissal, and Van Rens
selaer kissed it reverently. He felt un
steady on his feet, as if he had been
drinking.
“Goodbyf" she said brokenly. “I
■hall not see you again, for I am going
away tomorrow —back to my Darby in
Russia. I shall think of you sometimes
wheu I dream of Bohemia, and I shall
pray that you be not too unhappy in your
exile. Be good to your Joan!" —Annie

AN EFFORT IN THE CAUSE OF SUFFERING
. HUMANITY.
Tha Successful Method of Mayor Weltner in Accomplishing a Praise
worthy Undertaking-Many People will be Benefited.
From the Optic-News, Wellsville, Mo.
The Hon. C. 11. Weltner, mayor of Wella
ville, Mo., hns lately accomplished something
of which he might justly he proud. It is an
effort in the cause of suffering humanity and
one which, for nearly ten years, he has been
quietly trying to carry out.
Everyone in anil around W knows
Mayor 'Weltner, and of his progressive busi
ness ability, which has made him a leader in
various enterprises. It is this fact winch
inspires confidence and the hearty support of
citizens in his undertakings. ’
About ten years ago he appealed to the
best local physicians, as well as to a number
of specialists, for relief from the dread dis
ease—catarrh, but his appeals were in vain;
the doctors' efforts were fruitless. The dis
ease, uli the while, was fastening its clutches
firmer upon him and lie was about to despair
of ever obtaining relief when Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People were recommended
and as a iast resort he began tbeir use, the
happy sequel of which is that lie now feels
like anew man.
“ I became aware about ten years ago, he
says, “ofthe fact that some disease was prey
ing upon me. The physician whom I con
sulted diagnosed my case as ‘pharyngeal
catarrh’ and prescribed for it.
“Instead of getting relief the disease had
a deeper hold upon my system.
“I sought other physicians, hut their treat
ment was unavailing. I tried a number of
catarrh remedies, but without obtaining any
relief to speak of, and had come to the con
clusion that my case was incurable. Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peonlc were
recommended to me, nud I concluded to give
them a trial.
BATTALION NOTES.
From the Crimson and White.
We are still having guard mount
ing and missing many dinners, caused
by being forced, though duty, to be
at guard mounting by i p. m.
Some of the boys are becoming
very much disappointed on account
of not getting orderlies. You will
find many more and harder misfor
tunes to face in life, and you will not
have a Commandant to fall back
upon.
Battalion drills have been stopped
for the present and extended order
taken up. You had better begin to
study, non commissioned and com
missioned officers.
Some of the boys are becoming so
enthused in military that they even
wish to go to Cuba and be placed in
regular service. That is encourag
mg. It is the only way we can ever
have a good battalion. And a good
battalion is what we want now.
The only way to make a good bat
talion is to take the greatest interest
in it possible, and always be present
and willing to do your duty.
There is one vacant office now
and many ot the boys are very anx
ious to know who will be the next
Corporal.
Our boys seem to be very irre
ligious, as the only way to get them
to church was to form the battalion
on Sunday morning and march them
to church. It is not that the boys do

The best authorities state that catarrh is a
blood disease acting upon the mucous surfaces
of the system, it does not always commence
in the Hose, but. frequently starts in the
stomach or bowels with symptoms like dys
fepsia, which many mistake for that disease.
his is because the blood is in such a con
dition as to irritate the stomach. It is a waste
of time and- money besides harmful to use
“snuffs.” Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for Pale
People are composed of vegetable ingredients,
forming an internal remedy which acts di
rectly on the blood ami mucous surfaces of the
system, cleansing it from impurities and
causing the diseased matter to pass through
the proper channels. The medical profession
recommends these pills and every druggist
sells them.

The boys were greatly pleased by
