Robert and William were chums.
They were junior salesmen, both had
"made good" in a moderate way, and
both gave promise of ultimately be-
coming successful.
‘Tve something to tell you,” said
Robert one day, “and it’s In strict con-
fidence.”
“Go ahead. Bob.”
“I’m thinking of getting married.”
“Thinking of It. or have you de-
cided?"
Tin pretty close to the finish, I
guess."
“Have you asked the girl?”
"No. but I’ve about made up my
mind to propose."
“Think she’ll say ’yes?’ " asked Wil-
liam with a smile.
"Guess so."
"You want my advice?”
"That’s It." replied Robert. "I’ll tell
you who she Is.”
Not Just yet. my boy. Let’s discuss
it upon general principles first, and
specifically afterward. Are you sure
you love the girl?”
"Do you think I’d propose to her If'
I wasn’t sure?" exclaimed Robert.
“No. but you may think you’re sure
without being so.”
"But how can I be surer?”
"My dear fellow," replied William
earnestly, “marriage Is the most sol-
emn contract you or anybody else can
make. It requires more consideration
than any other action. You can lease
a house and sublet It If you want to,
and you can change your job If you
don’t like It, but you can’t get rid of
a wife so easily. It Ib a life-long prop-
osition, or should be. You say you
love her. If you had selected an au-
tomobile, you could probably give a
dozen or more definite reasons why
you had made tho choice. Can you
give ine six real, definite, solid reasons
why you have picked out this girl to bo
your wife?”
Robert frowned.
"Bob,” resumed William, "let’s get
down to brass tacks. I’m you. friend,
tho best friend you have. Give me the
first reason why you want to marry
this girl.”
"Because I’m In love with her."
"All right. Give me one reason why
you are In love with her. In what par-
ticular respect does she appeal to
you?”
"She’s pretty, she’s sweet and dainty,
and, hang It, man, 1 love her!"
“I’ll admit she’s pretty, but beauty
In Itself doesn’t remain net in the
matrimonial market, and sweetness Is
relative. What have you talked about
principally since you met?”
“Honestly, I don’t rememebr, old
boy."
“Hob, If you had many things In
common, wouldn't you remember
something you talked about? Do you
love her, or are you Infatuated with
her? Ixive carries with it companion-
ship nnd community of Interest, a de
sire to work together as well as to
play together. Has this young wom-
an shown any Interest in your work?
Would you bo happy with her If you
were to see no one else for the next
40 years?"
"Well, honestlv." replied Robert. "I
can’t remember that she ever did show
any particular Interest In my work
As for being alone with her tho rest
of my life, 1 shall not hnve to. I have
other Interests."
"If tills young woman Is sufficiently
In love with you to marry you, she
ought to be nt least somewhat Inter-
ested la the work which Is to be
means of livelihood for both of you
Nobody expects a man to see only his
wife, but If he does not feel that he
would bo willing and ready to, and that
ho could be happy with her alone, he
lias no business to marry. Qo home.
Bob. Write out what you want your
wife to be. Irrespective of this pnrtlcu-
lnr woman. Then ask yourself with-
out prejudice whether or not you have
any tangible evidence that she can
meet the requirements. If you don’t
know why you want a thing, whether
it Is a motor car or a girl, don’t fake
either. When In doubt, wait."
OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY.
Rich men's sons and Inheritors of
wealth have succeeded, have risen
above their unfortunate environment,
and, aided by other people's money,
have at times accomplished great re-
sults; but the large majority of men
of mark, men who are recognized as
leaders In their lines, reached their
goal through their own endeavors and
wholly without financial or other as-
sistance.
A close study of conditions proves
beyond a doubt that comparatively few
men have succeeded except by their
own personal endeavors.
So much is self-work necessary for
self-advancement, that sensible and
practical men of wealth Invariably
subject their sons to hard training. In-
stead of placing them in responsible
positions, at the start, they require
them to learn the business from the
bottom up, even though It may be nec-
essary for them to carry the dinner-
pails of labor and wear the overalls of
subordination.
Practically every railroad president
began as a brakeman, or occupied
some other menial position. He was
good brakeman before he was a con-
ductor; a good conductor before he
was the superintendent of a minor di-
vision, mastering each round as he
progressed upward.
Nearly all of our great merchant
princes began as office boys, swept out
the store, and carried bundles.
It Is an economic fact, not subject
to exceptions, that no man can suc-
cessfully or profitably manage any
kind of business, or any class of In-
dustry, unless he understands from ex-
perience the details of his vocation.
There Is no way under the sun of
accomplishment whereby one can ef-
fectively and profitably command
workmen, who are doing that which he
does not understand or cannot himself
do with some proficiency.
Many great men have been born
with sliver spoons In their mouths,
but their success Is due to eating odt
of common crockery dishes, with iron
knives and forks, at uncovered tables,
where they come In close contact with
the fundamental subbottom of labor,
from which they progress until they
are able to command men doing what
they themselves have done.
.Nothing can be accomplished with-
out experience. Even ability Itself Is
valueless unless It Is developed by ex-
perience. Seeing other people do
things Is not sufficient. To under-
stand how to direct, you muBt have
been directed. To command, you must
have been commanded. There is no
other way,* Theory, great as It Is,
without practice, Is worth less than
practice without theory.
If you begin nt the bottom, you may
work up. If you begin at the top, you
will topplo over.
Washington.—Developments which

and Captain Eranz Von Papen, naval

considered Improper their exequators
will be cancelled or the state depart
ment will find other mans of having
them discontinud in the offices they
hold.
Any action that may be taken will
undoubtedly have the full approval ol
President Wilson. It is understood
that the state department is proceed-
ing with the utmost care and officials
are reluctant to discuss the matter.
It was said at the department, how-
ever, that no decision had been
reached In the case of Alexander Von
Nuber, Austrian consul-general at New
York, whose name frequently has been
mentioned in connection with the ac-
tivities of Boy-Ed and Von Papen.
MUTINY ON CHINESE WAR-SHIP
Shanghai Harbor Scene of Battle Last
Ing An Hour.
Photographs on the Wing.
Germany has employed ninny Inge
nlous devices In the great war, and
surely one of the most unique Is that
of employing carrier pigeons for tak-
ing military photographs. Soino years
ago tbo camera employed for this pur-
pose was exhibited In Germany,
was Invented by Doctor Noubrnnnn.
nnd was a wonderfully light Instru-
ment, weighing only 2 Mi ounces. Tho
leiiR was only 2 Inch focus, and the
photograph produced measured 1 Mi
iittfuis square One of tho models
could take eight pictures In succession
on a film, while another consisted of
two dlitlnct cameras. The lens of ono
pointed forwards nnd the other back-
wards when the "carrier" wns In
flight. In each case the exposure
mechanism consisted of a rubber bulb
containing compressed air, by the slow
escape of which through a minute
uporturo a lever was operated to re-
lease the shutter at the end of an In-
terval of time which could be deter-
mined lu advance.
NOBILITY OF THE NATIONS
Writer Contradicts Assertion Made
by Lord Rosebery, Famous
British Statesman.
"A nation cannot be as noble as a
single man In It can," snld Lord Rose-
bery.
I would say a single man cannot
hope to ho as noble ns a nation can.
A nation Is capable of an accelera-
tion—a momentum of moral action.
The nobility that is in a single man,
n nation can raise to an nth power.
One man who pulls himsolf together
nnd loves or ono man who pulls him-
self together and hates, is Impressive.
A nation that pulls itself together and
loves—Is sublime.
Even n nation that pulls Itself to-
gether and hates all over with one
mighty heat of hate, Is sublime. Ev-
ery mnn in Germany who Is singing
Llssnuor's chant of hate and fighting
England with that chant of hate—has
ten times ns much hato In his one
single heart than ho would have It
he were hating ns a single man. Ho
hates everybody elso'B hato on fop of
htH own hato. One stick of wood In
a fire nuiy bo hot—but It Is hotter
with three moro—and still hotter—
that ops stick—with three million
more.
It Is absurd to says a nation cannot
ho nH noble ns a single mnn can. It
Is a defiance of psychology and of the
lnws of dynamics In tho human henrt.

Tom Magnzlne,
Shanghai.—The crew of the Chinese
cruiser Chao-Ho mutinied and opened
fire on two other warships and the
arsenal. The fire was returned, the
engagement lasting for an hour. Sev-
eral shots fell in the foreign conces-
sion. Apparently the outbreak has
been confined to the Chao-Ho.
Conflicting accounts of the outbreak
are current and owing to strict meas-
ures taken by the authorities it has
been impossible thus fur to obtain offi-
cial Information. It appears, how-
ever, that twenty men set forth from
the foreign settlement In a launch and
went alongside the Chao-Ho, which is
lying opposite the King-Nan arsenal.
On the arrival of the launch the
crew of the Chao-Ho mutinied, appar-
ently by prearrangement. At about
6 o'clock the mutineers opened fire
on the arsenal, the cruiser Hai-Chi und
tho gunboat Tung-Cliing.

London—The British, German and
Turkish accounts of the recent light-
ing iu Mesopotamia, while contain-
ing minor dispatches respecting the
casualties und character of tho British
retreat on the Tigris, clearly estab-
lish the fact that without further re-
inforcements to equal the overpower-
ing odds against which they have been
struggling, the British troops under
General Townshend have very little
prospect of continuing the march to
Bagdad, which city appeared a few
weeks ago to bo ulinost within their
grasp.
Having advanced during October and
November through the desert of Irak,
to the very environs of Bagdad, the
British force Is now retiring upon Kui-

•f Westorn Canada’s Rapid Progress
avy crops In Western Canada have caused

new recori
by railroads. For. while the movement of these
heavy shipments has been wonderfully rapid, the
resources of the different roads, despite enlarged
equipments and increased facilities, have been
strained as never before, and previous records
hava thus been broken in all directions.
Tho largest Canadian wheat shipments through New York ever known
are reported for the period up to October 15th,'upwards ot tour and a
quarter million buoholo being exported In leoo thin alx weeks,
and this was but the overflow of shipments to Montreal, Uirough which
point shipments were much larger than to New York.
Yields aa high ae 60 bushels of wheat per acre are reported from ell
parts of the country, while yields of 45 bushels per acre are common.
Thousands of American fanners have taken part In thie wonderful pro-
duction. Land price* *re (till low and fie* homestead lend* are easily secured
