Dead ‘Stock
Possibilities
Hut unlay morning T ha<l a 10 a. m.
appointment with a Chicago man nnd
Ite had telephoned that he would be
an h6ur late. After debating In my
intnd and waiting twenty minutes 1
■decided to borrow paper and find a
desk and start this subject. After
writing a few words a man came In
and laid a package on the desk and be
gan talking with a man nt a nearby
desk. Thinking he used the desk I
was at 1 left It and again sat down
on the callers' couch by the elevator
door and before 1 had written a
minute there, my 10 n. m. man
walked 1 n al 10:2ft. Now. I had
reasoned that as lie had been de
tained beyond 10 a. m. he might, be
released before 11 a. in., and he was.
When he came In he politely explained
and as he had a man with him he said
he would see me in a moment. Soon
he came out ami Invited mo into his
■office, saying that ho could givejne a
half hour. It took us about fifteen
minutes to advance our subject a
step and make another appointment
for 10 a. m. Monday.
1 got there seven minutes late that
morning, ami he was much later, but
I got at tills letter again. Now* po
liteness pays. JIad I been Indifferent
to the man who put the bundle on the
desk Saturday morning I would not
lave seep my man when he came in.
Inquiry pays also, because Just now
!»,' more thorough inquiry than I made
on coming in, I And my man is sick
at his home and not likely to be down
this a. in. Waiting time is “dead
stock" time and it pays to he able to
Invest it by thinking or writing. The
skillful handling of Irritating things
produces pearls—even an oyster
knows that. A foundry salesman on
the road told me if lie had to wait two
or three days to see his man he got
so rattled that he seldom sold any
thing in that town that trip. If he had
studied how to use his time aright
while he waited he might have made
an extra good sale. While speaking
to some men nt the Ravens wood asso
ciation I asked the secretary If he had
any cards which were printed on only
one side and which he intended to
throw away. He sahl yes. and got n
bundle for me. I passed them out to
the men. explaining thot the cards
wore known as “dead stock" in the
stock room and that we could bring
them to life, and as I talked to them
f wanted tuem to write some thought
or question on the hack of the cards
for my work. Then I collected the
cards and secured some information
personally useful to me. I liavo rea
rm'd a strong catalogue from the
waste basket nnd turned it into a $25
scrap-book. All of us see. hear, road
and think of things every day which
ore worth saving and exchanging with
other people. There Is such a thing as
“dead stock” ideas, latent or idjo In
your bead, note book, or In bundles
or papers nnd magazines which you
frequently throw away und It is an
• occasional rescue of such a one you
nre invited to make for your continued
growth, tuo benefit of others and the

J Desirable \
Lonficvily s
Very old men with young hearts
have always interested me.
When 1 began studying the daily
sources of desirable longevity my In
terest in the healthy-elderly In
creased.
A few weeks ago I met in a Chi
cago bank a six-foot-six gentleman
who had been enjoying life for near
ly eighty years.
After telling him about my new in
terest In longevity forces and asking
him for n talk on the sub Jet t ho re
plied: "Well, you have struck mo at
a Imd time. I am going East to-night
for throe months."
On suggesting thut lie might give
me in a minute a few hints for young
men. he told me this:
"Extreme regularity in eating,
sleeping and working have been my
rule. My Sunday is not as regular
as other days and I do not feel as
well on account of It."
On a previous occasion he had told
mo that he ate what in liked and
wanted and that he hnd not lost an
office day on account of sickness in
forty-five years. He was u healthy
man and enjoyed wholesome food. H 1
hnd high motives and a shining face.
Ho made money and used it wisely.
You can appreciate my Intense
feelings when I read that a few days
ago he was killed by a train while
crossing a track in nn Eastern town.
Collected Paragraphs.
Thomas A. Edison says: "I believe
the life of a mail can lie prolonged.
Man ought to live to be u hundred
years of age."
The Chicago Record says: "Within
less than thirty years the average
duration of life has marly doubled
in Chicago."
One doctor says: “flood care has
more to do with longevity than in
herited qualities.”
Another doctor says: "Hard work
seldom kills it doesn’t wear us out
very fast, hut It Is the running con
stantly and the overstrain of one part
that causes the trouble.”
A jolly old centenarian said: "Stop
when you have eaten enough.”
An educator says: “Becoming thor
oughly Interested In a good spare
time hobby is very likely to improve
ono’s health and lengthen life."
“As long ns the world lias existed
mankind lias been searching ways to
lengthen life. Sensible people nowa
days think the best elixir of life is
fresh air, sunshine, the right kind of
food ami a good temper."
"Dr. Holmes thought a mortal sick
npss an element of longevity, and it
is true that serious weakness is not
only frequently coupled with great
ability, hut with unusually long living
also."
Sickness Is Intended to lie one of
life's stepping stoncß and a kind
warning, hut frequently it. by perver
sion, becomes a millstone around a
human neck.
More machinery Is jerked out than
worn out. and many more men aro
executed by useless hurry and worry
than are consumed by necessary du
ties.
Discriminate, ns suggestions useful
to the sluggish are unreliable for tho
excitable.
Even a locomotive must take a
rest, but it is better for it to run
too far than to rest 100 long.
Keeping well is like walking a
tight rope. You can fall off either
way. and one side Is ns dangerous as
tho other.
Find your weak spot, as a correct
knowledge of yourself is an essential
iu taking good care of yourself. ,
Now. the question of all questions
is how to do as well as you know’
how and keep cheerful till moving

Camel carriages are not common
conveyances In most purls of India
but on the great trunk road leadin':
to Delhi they are frequently t r , !><•

wagons, drawn sometimes by on**,
sometimes by two. or even three, carr

selves much to the Western traveler
but in out-of-the-way places the latter
are often found very useful.

Good Story Told in London on the
Late Sir Andrew Clark.
One of the best stories told of the*
ln*e Sir Andrew Clark is the follow
ing: At n dinner party one night h«*
noticed that the Jady sitting n«-xt to
him at talde passed a dish to which
he helped himself plentifully. He
asked if she did not like It. as it was
excellent. She replied: "Oh. yet. I
like It. but my physician forbids tnc to
eat it." “StufT aifd nonsense." said
Sir Andrew: “it could not hurl any
one. Who Is your physician? To
which the lady, whom the medical
magnate had forgotten, answered,
with a demure twinkle in her eye:

Bathing in Missouri.
A traveling man alighted from a
train, and, covered with the dirt and
dust of travel, made his way to tha
bent hotel in a south west Missouri
town the other day. As he handed
Ihe porter his grips, lie told him he
wanted to take a bath. The negro
boy hesitated a moment, and then
replied: i*Sorry. Wh. but we ain't
got no bath in this heah house"
"How do you people bathe?" asked

Wages of European Sovereigns.
A statistician In Paris has been
computing tho “wages" which Euro
pean sovereigns receive, with the fol
lowing result: The czar of Russia
gets $Bl a minute, the emperor of
Austria $35. the king of Italy $22.
Kaiser Wilhelm $lB. King Edward
sls. the king of Spain sl4. the king
of tho Belgians $5. the king of Den
mark. $3.50, while Peter, the now
sovereign of Servla, receives the mere
pittance of $1.55 a minute. These
“wages are reckoned on a basis that
each monarch in question works for
six hours a day, six days in the week.
Income From Private Yachts.
Private yachts tills year havo
proved as groat an investment as a
luxury. For business reasons over
fifty Wall street men have been
obliged to give up cruising this sum
mer. and most of them have leased
their houtt. to parties more favored
with leisure. One of these men. who
paid s2ofi.ol)o for a steam yacht a
couple of years ago. has already taken

Royal Baggage.
The dead weight of luggage taken
by the kin;; anil queen, their attend

Ireland was about 200 tons. On a
visit paid by King Edward, as Prince
of Wales, to tho Riviera ho had a
complement of 200 boxes, trunks and
parrels. The king und queen on their
Irish trip had to take their royal and
state robes, and the king several

" I think that a woman naturally

to me that l feel for the sake of other

what Feruna has done for me.
" I suffered for five years with uterine
i irregularities, which brought on hysteria
and made mo a physical wreck. I tried
doctors from the different schools of
medicine, but without any perceptible
! change in my condition. In my despair
1 called on an old nurse, who advised me
to try I'eruna, and promised good re
sults if I would persist and take it reg
ularly. I thought this was the least I
could do and procured a bottle. I knew
as soon as I began taking it that it was
ailccting me differently from anything
I had used before, and so I kept on tak
ing it. I kept this up for six months,
and steadily gained strength and health,
and when I had used fiiteen bottles I
considered myself entirely cured, fam
a grateful, liappv woman to-day.”—

far from l>eing able to do her work without
the greatest exhaustion. This is a very
common sight and is almost always due to
pelvic catarrh.
It is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after with a disease
that cun l>c )>ermaneiitly cured.
Feruna cures catarrh permanently. It
cures old chronic cases as well as a slight
attack, the only diilerence being in the
length of time that it should take to effect
