Crawford’s Luck. Youth’B Companion. Ab the newly arrived guest walked into the dining-room of the summer hotel, it was clear to anyone that he was a successful business man—a man of large responsibilities and strength of character. Two men sitting at a table a short distance from that to which the stranger had been assigned looked at each other. < You know who he is?” Bald one. “Crawford, of the B. & C. Wool Cor poration." "Yes, I know him," replied his friend. “He is the executive head of all the dozen concerns affiliated with the company. He’s a big man, finan cially.” "Success just naturally seems to blow into some men’s hatB," said the first speaker with a little bitterness. “Lucky fellow! I don’t believe he ever had a worry in his life." 'That’s where you're wrong, old chap! That man failed once and lost his job twice before he finally found himself and got his real chance." “By Jove! You don’t mean it! There was money back of him, however, I’ll wager!" Not a cent. . He built up a business on borrowed capital, putting his brain and vigor and youth against the cash of an old friend. Then be and his de. voted wife, both still in their twenties, saved and planned. and scrimped and lived small. They were paying up a little here and a little there, meeting this note and that when it fell due, and that bill that was imperative, when the panic of 1907 struck New York.” “Well?” “Well, then the man who had posed as the' kind and indulgent friend and sponsor of the younger man’s business venture threw off his mask. He called in on fifteen days’ notice all the money he had loaned, and of course, face to face with an impossible situation, Crawford failed—threw up his hands!” “Pretty rough! Didn’t he save any thing?" “Not a cent; lost everything. Then the old scoundrel took over the busi ness, and he now makes about twenty- five thousand dollars a year from it.” “That was a blow! What did Craw ford do next?” “Waited for a job, my friend. Have you ever done that? I did once, for three months, and every day I found myself degenerating. It was a rude shock to me, really, for I had always thought that I should keep up appear ances — clean linen, smooth shave, creased trousers, andi so forth—at any cost. Wei], one day I caught a real look at myself in the glass, and that brought me to my senses. I saw that I was carrying the badge of failure on my cheek and around my neck and wrists; my inner feeling had taken that outward form.” “It is easier to go down the tobog gan slide than to come up, eh?” “Rather! Well, I saw Crawford of ten, and I had friends who knew him Intimately at that time. He was out of work for six months—had absolutely nothing to do—and God knowa what frenzied momentB come to a man at such a time, but he never for one day went unshaved or without clean linen— and, best of all, his manner was always cheerful. His wife was a wonder all the time. She helped him in every possible way, made one cent serve for five, and bore always the same gallant and indomitable front." “How old a man is he?” “Just turned forty-one. Oh, yes! I know you’d take him for a man fifty years old. That’s the price he paid. His courage and self-control took their toll, as they always do. But he’s a man of men, and if you knew, aa I do, how sympathetic and large-minded and kinded he is, you’d realize that very bard experience developed in him traits that no amount of instant or easy suc cess could have given him.” “Well, the other fellows who declare that there’s no such thing as luck could use him as a good example, couldn’t they?” “They certainly could. It was just courage that made his success—courage and character—and there’s no. luck about them.” Aluminum production in the United States totaled 80,000.00b pounds last year, against 16,000,000 pounds in 1906 and only 82 pounds in 1888. Paper Situation in U. S. Serious. Some grades of paper havd taken an other jump in prfoea and are likely, to continue to riie, is not sending any rags now as griBt for American paper mills, and, m this ountry never depended entirely on its own pulp supply, the book and the magazine makers are likely to have to pay still more for their stock , As an example of how the market has been going, the bids for picking the rags and the waste paper from the dumpB in the boroughjof Queens, New York, were opened recently, and the highest was $19,522 for the current year, which was more than twice the figure for last year, $8,216. Other items will bring this bid up to at least $20,000. The successful bidders were elated over their succobb, for they con sidered the privilege likely to become profitable. Since France and other European countries, owing to the war, have ceased sending rags to the United States, American manufacturers of high-grade paper have bad to put up their prices, as they formerly depended on foreign markets' not only for pulp of various grades, but also for chemicals. Paper for coating also went up half a cent a pound, and there have been steady riBSB of various grades. The paper situation,” said a big New York paper, manufacturer the other day, “is daily becoming nkore serious. We are endeavoring to have the embargo against the shipment of rags from abroad lifted. This embar go,: declared on Feb. 18 by the French, was issued without warning. We hope, however, at least to get those ship- ments which were bought before the embargo was declared. “Owing to the war,” ,he continued, “the whole paper industry is demoral' ized. I see no help for the situation until the war is over and the conditions again become'normal. Rags are scarce and cannot be brought to this country from Europe. The supply of Scandi- navian pulp iB very low. To whiten paper chloride of lime is needed. In stead of selling this for bleaching pow der, the makers can dispose of it to foreign powers for making chlorine gas for military purposes. The wire meshkaed by the makers has gone up in price. They must pay much more for the felt belts over which the moist paper passes. “The coating or sizing of paper composed largely of casein. It is really cheese. Formerly it was cheap and abundant. A good deal of it used to come from Denmark. Some waB made here. In days like these all the milk is needed for making cheese in this country, for the importation of those select cheese, from abroad haB largely fallen off. Glue has its place in Bur- facing paper, and there are other con. stituents as well. All white paper is made to appear more so by using blue dyes, all of which are very high. Col ors which were formerly only 40 or 50 cents a pound are sold for $18 and $20 a pound.” Manufacturers also say there has been a great decrease in the importa tions of Bulphites. Formerly there were 1,000 to 1,200 tons imported daily, as compared with 375 tons a day which are now received. , The Army of Sorrow. Albany Herald. It was announced in the House of Commons a few days ago that "the widows of British soldiers thus far re ported number 41,500,” not to mention’ 8,000 widows of sailors who have been killed or drowned in the war’? disasters »t m< An hfmy that lacks blit 8 feW hun dred of being 50,000 “thus far report ed!” Every day brings new recruits to its ranks. Fighting began a little less than twenty months ago, bo tho war has been making British widows at the rate of about one every seventeen min utes since the first gun was fired. More British soldiers are in the field now than at any time since the beginning of the great confllot, and the fighting in that region where most of the British troops afd engaged becomes more fu rious. It is probably safe to say that the war iB now making a British widow for every dozen minutes that pass. Fifty thousand widows! What an army I Marching four abreast, and With but three feet between fours, it would be nearly ten mllcB long. Marching two and a half miles an hour, it would re quire four hours for it to paBB a given point. And this, let it be remembered, is but one of Sorrow’s Armies. There is another in France, much greater than Britain’s. There’s yet another in Rus sia, a vast legion in Germany, and still another in Austria-Hungary. Serbia’s widows form about the only army that bleed-drenched little kingdom can rally now, and thoBe who sit, stunned and hollow-cheeked, among the ruins of Belgium are that desolated country’s only defenders. In the villages of Mon tenegro, in Italy, Roumania and Turkey —wherever the seething, singeing, de. vastating flame of war has rolled—sit those whom Death haa conscripted into the vast Army of Widows whose tears bathe a continent, and who have given for country more than those who fell on the Helds of battle. And there’s another army—the Or phans! Hundreds of thousands of them! Blue-eyed and golden-haired orphans, dark-skinned orphans with eyeB of black and brown; orphans who, ages ago, it must seem to them, waved fare wells to fathers they were never to see again, and yet other orphans who came into the world after their fathers had been laid in soldiers’ graves, some where along the battle front. And still these two vast armies grow. The big guns may tear great gaps in the armies that fight, and it may be come more and more difficult to keep the battle lines Intact, but the widows and orphans will not grow less. Hun dreds are made each day, as the artil lery roars, the rifles bark and the dead ly work of mines and submarines goes on.' And the world has been boasting of its civilization for lol these many years. Two Marylanders, who were visiting the National Museum at Washington; were standing in front of an Egyptian mummy, over which hung a placard bearing the inscription, “B. C. 1197. Both visitors were much mystified thereby, and said one; “What do you think of that, Billy?’ “Well,” said Bill. “I dunno, but maybe it waB the number of the motor car that killed him.”—Chicago Journal, FEEL LIKE GIVING UP? Many Newnan People on the Verge of Collapse. A bad back makes you miserable all the time— Lame every morning; sore all day. It hurts to stoop—it hurts to straigh en.

Washing, tori street, Newnan, Ga., says: “The worst trouble I had was a dull ache in the small of my back. I tired easily, especially in the morning. I had fre quent headaches, little objects floated before my eyes and at times I became dizzy. Colds settled on my kidneys, making my back worse.

Don't buy one that is a bit too small, for the present style coat with its flar ing hem looks especially bad in a size too small. Don’t, if you are over five feet six, get up-and-down stripes. Don’t buy a tan suit if you are sal low. Some of the tan shades are again in fashion, and they are a pitfall for the unwary sallow woman. Don’t buy a suit trimmed with alight color if you mbst wear it constantly for nothing looks worse than soiled trimming. Don’t, if the family bible has you down for over 40—you needn’t admit it —get a suit because the saleswoman tells you it’s girlish. Don’t be a "flap per” at 40. Don’t, if you’re under five feet three, get round-about trimming. Don’t get a jacket that has Bieeves too short or too long, for misfit sleeves spoil what may otherwise be a very at tractive jacket. Cole Younger, whose name forty years ago spread terror throughout Mis souri, Iowa and Minnesota, is dead at Efee’s Summit, Mo. He and biB broth er spent a quarter of a century in the Minnesota penitentiary, and he lived in Minnesota for years afterward. While he was not so notorious as Jesse James, those who knew both men said Younger was the gamer of the two. Told That There Was No Ouro For Him. “After suffering for over twenty years with indigestion and having Borne of the best doctors here tell me there was n.o cure for me, I think it only right to tell you for the sake of other sufferers, as well as your own satisfaction, that a twenty-five cent bottle of Chamberlain’s Tablets riot only relieved me, but cured me within two months, although I am a man of 65 years,” writes Jul. Grobien, Hous ton, Texas. Oobtainable everywhere, An Irishman, applying for a pension at Washington, insisted upon the jus tice of his claim, owing to the fact that he had been wounded while in the ser vice of his country. “How and where were you wounded?” one of the committee inquired. Placing his hand over his heart he said: ‘I was shot in the breast on a retreat from Bull Run, yer honor.” ‘Shot through the breast on a re treat?” said the committee man. “How could you be shot through the breast on a retreat?” ’I had the indiscretion to turn and look back, yer honor.” “But if you were shot in the breast in the place you indicate, the ball would have gone through your heart. How is that?” ‘Me heart was in me mouth at the time, yer honor." Protect School Children.
