Make Every Day Count.
O.S. Marden,, in Success.
The man who starts out in the
morning with a determination to do
something during the day that will
amount to something, that will be
distinctive, that will have individu
ality, that will give him satisfaction
at night, is a great deal more likely
not to waste his day in frivolous, un
productive work than' the man who
starts out with no plan.
Begin every day, therefore, with
a progiaui, and deter mine that, let
what will come, you will carry it out
as closely as possible. Follow this
up persistently, day after day, and
you will fee surprised at the result.
Make up your mind at the very
outset of the day that you will ac
complish'something that will amount
to something,that you will not permit
the little annoyances of your busi
ness to spoil your day’s work. Make
up your mind that you be larger
than the trifles which cripple and
cramp medioore lives, and that you
will rise above petty annoyances and
interruptions and carry out your
plans in a large and commanding
way.
Make every day of your life count
for something, make it tell in the
grand results, not merely as an add
ed day, but as an added day with
something worthy achieved.
Great Blunders.
In the Crerar Library, Chicago, is
a book compiled by Dr. Earl Pratt,
in which five hundred men, out of
work, have recorded <( the greatest
blupder of their life.” Here are some
of them:
1. Didn’t save what I earned.
2. Did not as a boy realize the
value of an education.
3. If I had taken better care of
my money, I would be in better
health and morals. \
4. Did not realize the importance
of sticking to one kind of employ
ment.
5. The greatest blunder of my
life was when I took my first drink.
6. One of the greatest blunders
of my life was not to perfect myself
in one of the lines of business I
started out to learn.
7. My greatest blunder was when
I left school in the fifth grade.
8. The turning point in my life
when, at fifteen, I ran away from
home.
9. Spent my money foolishly
when I was earning good wages.
10. When I let myself be misled
in thinking that I need not stick to
one thing.
11. Self-conceit and not listen
ing to my paPSfits.
12. Was to fool away my time
when at school.
It is not generally known, Bays
London Health, that in many parts
of the world clay’is eaten on bread
as a substitute for butter. This is
termed “stone butter,” and is used
in many parts of Germany. In
northern parts of Sweden earth is
often baked in bread, and is sold in
the public markets on the Italian
peninsula as well as on the Island of
Sardinia, Persia, Nubia and other
tropical countries. This practice
probably had its origin in the
knowledge that all earths have some
kind of flavor, and take the place of
salt, a necessary ingredient in all
kinds of food.
A Galveston dispatch Bays half of
the cotton oil mills in Texas have
closed down for the season and that
most of the others will close this
week. This is six to eight in advance
of the usual closing time. Scarcity
of cotton seed is given as the reason
for the early ending of the season.
There was a shortage of the „corn
crop and farmers are generally hold
ing back a lot of their cotton seed
to be fed to stock. The cotton seed
crop marketed, it is said, will fall far
short of the average.

Discovery that will surely lengthen

of Ohurubusco, Ind. “I wish to

Discovery for consumption is the
most infallible remedy that I have
ever known for coughs, colds and
grip. It’s invaluable to people with
weak lungs. Haying this wonderful
medicine, no one need dread pneu-
m nria or consumption. Its relief is
instant and cure certain.” Every 60c

Don’t believe that everybody else
in the world is happier than you.
Don’t conclude that you Lave nev
er had any opportunities in life.
Don’t believe all the hvil you hear.
Don’t repeat gossip, even if it does
interest a crowd. |
Don’t go untidy on the plea that
everybody kndws you.
Don’t be rude to your inferiors in

Don’t overdress or underdress.

Illiteracy Declining.
The WaycrosB Journal comments
with pleasure upon the statistics
contained in a recent census report
showing the decrease of illiteracy in
the south. We quote:
“One of the most helpful signs in
the south is the marked decline in
illiteracy among children from ten
to fourteen years of age, as shown
by a recent census report. Taking
the sixteen states along the border
and below Mason and Dixon’s line;
the gain in literacy has been nearly
seven per cent within ten years. In
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana where the percentage has
been greatest on acoount of the
black belt and the mountain wh.ites,
there has been wonderful improve
ment, the gain reaching nearly nitfe
per cent. Fully three-fourths of
the children can. now read. Fifteen
years ago only about two-thirds
could read. So' wide sweeping iB
the educational revival in the south
that it is safe to predict that, ten
years hence, nine-tenths of the new
generation, white and black, will be
able to read.”

There are 1,470,000 persons over
the age of ten resident in the Uni
ted States who cannot speak the
English language, exclusive of 72,-
000 Indians. This number is about
two per cent of the total population.
The largest number of non-English-
speaking persons is found in New
York, where they number 226,000.
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Texas fol
low. Texas has a considerable Span
ish-speaking population. So has New
Mexico and Arizona. In the former
there are 16,000 persons not Speak
ing English and in the letters 27,000.

In his talks with members of his
own race, Booker T. Washington
always endeavors to impress on his
hearers that faith without works is
not enough. On a recent occasion
he impressed this lesson with a sto
ry of an old negro, professionally pi
ous, who wanted a good Christmas
dinner and who night after night
prayed to the Lord to send him a
turkey. The days passed, Christmas
approached and the old fellow un
dertook to compromise by asking
the Lord to send him to a turkey.
He got one that very night.
The most successful barber in New
York has his shop in his kit. He
starts ouf in the morning on a regu
lar route, which he follows as sedu
lously if not as early as the milkman
follows. He has fourteen customers,
each of *whom pays him not less
than 60 cepts for a shave. Three
give him $1 each. Two bachelor
brothers, living in the same apart
ment, give him $2 for half an hour’s
work.—New York Press.
