General Charles H. Taylor, of Bos
ton, one of the most widely known
newspaper men in the country and,
popular everywhere, is especially es
teemed among those in the newspaper
business. The Boston Globe, which
he built up from obscurity to be one
of the greatest newspapers of the
country, is conclusive proof that he
knows what success is. He is espec
tally fitted with evidence and by nn
ture to talk on that subject, and a re
cent address of his on "The True Se
cret of Success” deserves as wide a j
^ reading ns possiblo. It is full of j
sense and of encouragement. The
Times takes the occasion to publish
a brief extract from it as a choice
sample of a delightful paper. We
should like to see it in every paper
in the country:
“The best rule for success in life
is to do a little more than is expected
of you in any position that you may
secure. The boy or man who does
more than is expected of him and is
anxious for his employer's progress
will never get mislaid in the smallest,
office or the largest establishment.
The people who do not Rucceed are
those who begin at noon to watch the
clock ho that they will be certain to
be all ready to rush out of the build
ing at 5 o'clock or whatever the hour
for closing may be. The people who
are afraid they will do more work than
they are paid for will never be paid
for more than they do. Unsuccessful
people in this world think that those
who have succeeded have had luck.
There may he something in luck, hut
the man who sits down and waits for
it to come to him will starve. If there
is any luck the man who is courage
ous and ambitious and industrious will
be sure to find it.
"Some years ago Senator John
James Ingalls, of Kansas, wrote a
poem called 'Opportunity.' His theory
was that Opportunity knocked at your
door but once. His poem is one of the
most beautiful in the English language
but his theory is all wrong. The per
sons who have the microbes of ambi
tion and industry do not wait for Op
portunity to knock at the door, but
have the door wide open and are out
on the sidewalk or in the street hunt
ing for Opportunity, anil it is not dif
ficult to find it. Do not wait for Op
portunity to knock if you wish for
success.”

LONDON, Nov. 2:i. — The long hon |
ored moustache of the English soldier
may soon be a thing of the past. By j
a revised army regulation it is now
made optional and already thousands
of the carefully cultivated hirsute
adornments have fallen before the ad
vanee of the grim reaper usually
some brand of American safety razor.
Old-timers in the army regret the
passing of this "mark of the soldier,"
but the youngsters who have been
struggling lately to grow a respectable
appearing moustache have breathed
a distinct sigh of relief. It was com
paratively easy in the old days to con
trol the army moustache, but in the
tremendous new fighting machine now
marshalled under the Union .lack they
had gotten completely "out. of bounds"
and had begun to border on the ridi
culous.
So an order has been Issued, strik
ing out the fateful words "but not the
upper lip” from paragraph No. 1696
of the king's regulations. Titis para
graph originally read:
“The hair of the head will be kept
short. The chin and under-lip will be
shaved, but not the upper lip. Whis
kers, if worn, will be of moderate
« length.

Advertising
Surely
Pays.
By BREEN.
The biggest business
enterprises in this coun
try were built upon ad
vertising. None will
deny that. Newspaper
advertising is the most
potent of all. The money
that is spent annually in
the newspapers of the
United States is enor
mous.
Enormous as it is, the
return is tenfold. And
yet one occasionally will
find some self sufficient
business man who will
declare he doesn’t need
advertising.
Every man in every
business needs advertis
ing. Some need it more
than others. It is non
sense to say that a cer
tain article sells itself.
Keep 7'our
Name ‘Before
The Public.
By BREEN.
Don’t suffer from ego.
You may think that j j
everybody in town knows
where you are located
and what you have to
offer. Don’t make this
grievous mistake.
1 fie public is fickle.
1 he public is forgetful. |
It needs to be continually
reminded where you are
and what you are doing.
If you don’t let it know
through the columns of
a newspaper it soon will
transfer its trade.
Don’t think your busi
ness “so well estab
lished” it doesn’t need
advertising. New York’s
biggest bank seeks ad
vertising. It probably is
as “well established” as
most enterprises.
Don’t He a
Calamity
Howler.
By BREEN.
If business is a bit
poor don’t cry that the
country is going to the
bowwows. I hings will
come out all right.
When business life is at
a low ebb newspaper
advertising will help sus
tain it. When the finan
cial and business de
pression was at its height
a Pacific coast merchant
spent $ 100,000 in a
newspaper ad. campaign.
The results more than
justified his optimism.
The Wall street
maxim is, “Buy when
everybody is selling; sell
when everybody is buy
ing.” If one wants to
buy or sell anything he
consults the newspapers.
