TEN BUSINESS COMMANDMENTS
The following ten oomm&ndments
have been compiled by an exchange for
the modern business world:
1 Thou ub?li not wait for some
thing to turn up, but thou shall pull off
thy coat and jjo to work that thou may
est ptosper in thy affairs and make the
word "failure" spell "success."
2. Thou sbalt not be content to go
about thy business looking like a loaf
er, for thou shouldst know that thy
personal appearance is better than a
letter of recommendation.
3. Thon shalt not try to make ex
cuses, nor shalt thou say to those who
chide thee, "I didn't think."
4 Thou shalt not wait (? be told
what thousbalt do, nor in what manner
thou shalt do it* for thus msy thy days
be long in the job which fortune hath
given tbee.
5. Thou shalt not fail to maintain
thine own integrity, nor shalt thou be
guilty of anything that will lessen thy
Rood resect for thyself.
?>. Thou shalt not covet the other
fellow's job, nor his salary, nor the
position that he hath gained by his own
hard labor.
7. Thou shalt not fall to lire within
thy Income, nor shalt thou contract any
debts when tfcou canst not see thy way
clear to pay th?*m.
S. Thou sh?lt not be afraid to \low
thine own horn, for be who failest to
blow his own horn at the proper oc
casion findest nobody standing ready to
bllow it for him.
9. Thou sbalt net hesitate to say
'"No," when thou meaneth "No," nor
thali thou fail to remember that thtre
are times when it is ucsafe to bind thy
self by a hasty judgment.
10. Thou sha'.t give every man a
square deal. This is the last and great
commmdmeut, and th?re is none other
unto it. Upon this commandment
hangs all the law and proGts cf the
business work). The Storekeeper.
IM ON INTELLIGENCE
Id declaiming against the tariff ou
p<per John Sharp Williams used the
felicitous phrase of Mr. Roosevelt, de
scribh g it as a tax on Intelligence.
Congress has had called to ita attention
the importance of giving relief to the
publishing interests by action on the
prevailing paper pulp schedule. Cer
tainly the last articles tbat should be
made pay tribute to the country's ex
chequer are those that relate to the
spread of intelligence. The newspapers
of the country, through their associa
tion, have protested Against the con?
tlnuance of a rate that furnishes the
manufacturers excuse for an extortion
ate charge for white paper. There is
more given for the money in the news
paper world than any other trade ex
trnt, the price a$ked for a Sunday news
paper, for Instance, being no more than
the value of white paper.
Aona Gould-de Castellane It appears
is really going to marry the Prince de
Sagan. This will bring about a situa
tion that will afford' us am&sement for
a while? until it wears. The count
will have the same right to pull his
note as he has now and will probably
retain the disposition and so the thing
will be frequently done. And then,
after a while, Anna will come to like
the man wbo can pull her husbana's
nose in such devilish fashion atd will
begin to pull it herself? for of course
anybody can do what the fool little de
Cas'ellane can do. And that wi.l bring
about a rupture in thj family again
Anna, having broken with her folks on
this side .'or having married the Prince
w.l: be out of it all round. Of course
the count may marry her again? for her
monoy? but anybody c*n see who un
dertakes to think It out tbat Anna is
due to get ners. This malevolence it
not provoked by her going off to marry
a foreigner, bui because of her inal ility
to learn even with experience. There
ia no hope for those whom experience
will not teach.
THIS GOVERNOR IS RIPE
llepealedly, through the platforms of
botb political conventions, more than
once through a free ballet and by large
majorities, the people of Alaska have
expressed the desire that thev be giv
en the privilege of self-government so
fir as that privilege exists in the terri
torial form of government. A repre-1
sentative of the people, olccted by
them on a pla'form that made it his
duty to do so, prepared a bill granting
to us somewhat of that privilege, and
the bill is before the committee of
congress which has it in its power to
recommend its passage. Before that
committee went the governor of Alas
ka? the governor being appointed by
the president? and declared Alaska to
I be "not ripe for self-government."
THE REAL GOODS
*
Better iban grandeur, better than gold,
Than rank and duties, a thousand-fold,
Is a health body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always
please.
A heart that can feel for another's woe
With sympathies large enough to enfold
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Sam Frazier will be just the man for
commissioner at Kuskoquim. Bisldos
being a first-class newspaper
man?having seen life in just about
every phase that it pr -sects itself, as
becomes the experience of one who goes
through the ruck of it, as bis calling
made him do? he knows the law, having
been admitted to the bar in several
states. He is just the man for the
place.
A senator of the United States who
carries a revolver on the streets of ?
city ought to be placed in the common
j*il where other people are put for such
an offense, the only distinction
recognized in his ease being that he be
not allowed bail.
tf all they say about a golden key be
true Admiral Evans will be in a fine
way before he leaves the navy.
Certainly, open the coal lands? under
proper provisions.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all o.hcr diseases
put together, and uutil the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many yeats doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and pre
scribed local remedle., and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it Incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. H-ll'g Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co ,
Toledo, -Ohio is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken inter
nally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
they offer one hundred dollars for any
case it to cure. Send for circular
and testimonials.
