Oddly enough, too, those whe exercise the greatest vigilance over the penny in hand are not the poor, but the truly rich. An instance to illustrate this fact is told of Cornelius Vanderbilt, grandson of the Commodore. Mr. Vanderbilt was notably j exacting in bis personal business rela- Noble, but they found that the Oakridge tions of himself as well as of others. boys were too strong for them. The At a meeting of a certain railroads board score bv inning was as follows: of directors of which he was a member it 133456789 ' was found that several were absent.

Mrs. Eugene Ilarpool has returned from Stlthton. Dean Taylor, of Columbia, has pur chased the farm belonging to Chas. and Herman Iiarnett. C. W. Taylor and 6on,of Milwaukee, are here. Jas. Dowell, of Cannelton.Ind , called cents. At tbe close'of the meeting, as the secretary handed each member his apportioned fee, he accepted the given numbers of dollars and passed up the twelve and a half cents to avoid the bother of making change. When the secretary came to Mr. Vanderbilt, bow ever, he found him busily counting some small coin from a purse onto the table. ''I can change a dollar for you, aud will take the twelve cents," said Mr. Vander bilt; then smiled as he added, "but I cannot manage the half cent." And the man worth more than a hundred million dollars had taken the trouble to change a dollar, for the sake of twelve cents, which, together with the extra dollars, had come to him through the default of others. Had the proposal halfpenny then been in circulation he would prob ably have "managed the half-cent." The next day Cornelius Vanderbilt gave half a million dollars to establish a charity work in New York.' And it was iu a measure due to his constantly keeping close tab ou the pennies in the handling of his large affairs that he was able to make such a splendid gift iu the cause of humanity.

Cleveland Plain Dialer. Paid To "Think Ahead" There is a man in an olllce in New York whose business is to think ahead on behalf of the community aud pre pare for coming events, writes T. Sharper Knowlton In the September "Century," discussing "Tho Uses of Imagination in business." He sits at a big table, and before him is a map pf New York with its environs by.land ' .zatlon. - Coutury K and sea. The problem is to determine what shipping acommodatlon will be required In the future, and to begin the work of reconstruction now. Dur ing the last century the story was one of growth, growth, growth; and the story is to be continued. is the question which the man with the grounds. map has .to settle. He is not on piece wortc; ne is paid for thinking. In other words, whatever his official title may be, I shall call him Actincr Profess or of Imagination to the Shipping In terests of New York. In every progressive house of bust-, ness there is, or ought to be, a similar omcer. generally ho Is the principal himself. That is one reason why hi divides his business into departments and pays men high salaries to superin tend them. He wants time to think. ' But tho far-seeing element in Im-. agination is r.ot the only one; there Is one which concorns itself .with details. If I might say so, Imagination, Is tele scopic for big things and microscopic for small things. You can imagine billlon-doliartrustandyou can imagh a now way of pointing a needle.
