I Am Determined.
To respect my work, my asso
ciates and myself; to be honest
and fair with them as I expect
them to be honest and fair with
me; to be a man whose work
carries weight; to be a booster
and not a knocker, a pusher not
a kicker, a motor, not a clog; to
base my expectations of reward
on the solid foundation of serv
ice rendered, to be willing to
pay the price of success and hon
est effort; to look upon my
work as an opportunity to be
greeted with joy and made the
most of and not a painful drudg
ery to be reluctantly endured.
To remember that success is
within myself, my own brain,
my own ambition, my own cour
age and determination; to ex
pect difficuties and force my
way through them; to turn hard
experience into capital for fu
ture struggles; to interest my
self heart and soul in the a
chievement of results; to be pa
tiently receptive of just criti
cism and profit by its teachings;
to treat equals and superiors
with respect and subordinates
with kindly encouragement; to
make a study of my business du
ties, to know my work from the
ground up, to mix brains with
my effort, to use system and
method in all I undertake; to
find time to do everything need
ful by never letting time find
me or my subordinates doing
nothing; to hoard days as a
miser does dollars; to make ev
ery hour bring me dividends in
specific results accomplished; to
I
steer clear of dissipation; to
peace of mind as my most prec
ious stock in trade.
Finally, to take a good trip
on the joys of life; to play the
game like a gentleman; to fight
against .nothing so hard as my
oviD weakness and endeavor to
grow in business capacity and as
a man with the passage of
every day of time.—From Life.
Chaflin Company In Receivers’.
Hands.
United Press Dispatch.
New York, June 25—Receiv
ers were appointed today for
the Claflin Company, one of the
largest dry goods firms in the
world. $25,000,000 is involved
but the retail and subsidiaries
will probably be taken care of.
The Associated Merchants, U
nited Dry Goods Company and
controlled companies are direct
ly involved.
The Chaflin officials declare
that at present it is impossible
to say whether the stores con
| trolled by the company in other
cities will be closed.
The unprecedented shifting
i of trade centers in New York is
I assigned by the Chaflin Co,
I as the reason for the trouble,
j One of the most remarkable fea
tures of the present business
j life in this city is most striking
1 ly apparent on Twenty-third
| street, where there are now a
vacant line of great buildings,
I while ten years ago this was the
largest shop block in the world.
Now almost all retailers are
moved to Forty-second street,
and further up.

ters, vaudeville, tn burlesque. In small
shows; performers in the various de
parttnents of the innumerable circuses,
carnivals, street fairs, baseball play
ers. football players, basket ball play
ers, motor races, aviators, boxers. In
numerable exponents of Innumerable
forms of professional sports.
[t includes also the people who pro
mote these amusements; who Incor
porate companies and manufacture
devices to be used In amusing—film
companies with armies of employes
in the moving picture field, for ex
ample; the people in their large o Bee
forces; the people who manage and

vertise them and draw the attention
of the rest of us—the patrons who com
prise the other 90 per cent.
OTHER “ISTS” A POOR SECOND
Pessimist and Optimist Alike Had tc
Yield the Palm to the Quiet,
Undisturbed Fatalist.
Three students of philosophy sat on
top of a high hill. One was a pessi
mist, one in optimist and the third
had not declared himself.
While the first were warmly dis
cussing their opposing theories ot
life, a sudden gust of wind simultane
ously lifted off three hats and sent
them bowling down the hill. The
pessimist and the optimist gave
chase, hut their companion remained
calmly sitting on top of the hiUjand
watched the others running after the
hats. Presently each procured his
own hat and the optimist picked up
also that of the third man. Then they
panted back up the hill.
“'Whew!’’ gasped the optimist, as
ne handed over the hat to him whc
still sat on top of r.he hill. “I guess
you're an optimist, too. You didn’1
seem to wqjry aay “
“Why should I?” was the dispas
stonate reply. “1 knew hat 'mins
own shall come to me,' >u see, '
am a fatalist.''—Lippincotts Maga

Good Air in the House.
Clean air in the house is as much a
necessity to health as clean water
and, Inasmuch as a considerable por
tion of the air In the house rises from
the cellar, the cellar must be aa clean
and pure aa It 4a desired that the
house atmosphere shall be. Ia the ab
sence of any ventilating system win
dows and doors cdust do the work ol
bringing tgi and letting out the air. The
impure air must escape to make room
IKJl «U4 n »»«
the top as well at the bottom, the
warmer air at the top of the room wil
thus pass out. Keep one window on
the top floor open a little most of the
time to provide a general air-escape
tor the whole house. When airing bed
rooms in the morning leave the cup
board door open. A. sleeping room
used as a sitting room during the da]
must be given a good airing before
bedtime. The bath room and the
kitchen need special ventilation, an<
the living room must be well airee
the last thing at night, otherwise the
used-up air will make its way througl
the house, ./
Retort of John Wilkes.
In the days when George IIL wai
king, and when his periodic lapses Inti
infirmity of mind brought about re
sumptions of the regency and change
of policy, there was an English iori
chancellor who trimmed hts sails ti
the doctor's builetins. He was a pol
tician of a type with which we are al
too familiar. lie heard one day tha
the king was better and would resum
the reins of office, and he made an Iir
passioned speech against the regenc
in the house of lords. In his neroru
tion he cried, “I cannot1 forget all tha
I owe to the bounty of my graciou
sovereign; and when I forget him, ma,
my God forget me!” He was impress©!
with the magnificence of his own ora
tory, and could not refrain from r«
peating the last phrase to John Wilkes
■whom he met In Westminster hall aft
er the debate. 'Forget yon!" sal
Wilkes ‘‘He’ll see you damned first.

Arranging Flower*.
To arrange flowers the best wa;
take a lesson from the fields, wood
or garden where you find them grow
ing Where red and white clovei
daisies and grasses are found, arrang
them in a loose bouquet to look Jus
as they grew; and, as these are unprt
tentious flowers, do not put them in i
glass vase, but rather choose an oi
dinary vessel—a brown unglazed poi
a gray Chinese ginger Jar or an eartl
en crock The effect will be artlstk
Indeed, the finding of exactly the righ
vessel for every flower is a delightfu
study, just as weU m to the proper ai
