COURTESY A BUSINESS MAGNET.
A successful New York business
man once sent a telegram to each
of his several thousand clerks which
read, "Did you say 'thank you to
every customer you waited upon to
day? This man says that "thank
you" has been the motto on which
he has built an enormous business.
He has spent $50,000 in trying to im
press this motto, and ' all that it
means, upon his salesmen and clerks,
so that they will not fail to make ev
ery customer feel that it is a real
privilege to wait upon him.
These clerks are urged to establish
the friendliest possible relations with
their customers, to greet them with
a smile, and to talk with them, not
at or to them. They are urged to
make such a pleasant impression up
on every customer that he will not
only come again, but will bring a
friend.
A successful business man has tried
to impress this idea upon the minds
of his clerks, "Always think of what
the customer will say when he gets
out of the store."
Competition has become so keen,
and the bid for public patronage so
insistent that it is a matter of first
importance for the business institu
tion which would succeed today to be
popular tohave the good will of its
patrons.
The officers of a bank, for instance
know that they must win and hold
the favor of the public or go to the
wall. They know that they cannot
snub their customers today, as they
once would, when there were fewer
banks, without losing business. With
a score of banks soliciting his busi
ness and offering every possible in
ducement to secure it, it does not re
quire a very keen insight into human
nature to know that, other things
equal, the business man will patron
ize the bank that has the most pleas
ant, the most agreeable officers and
clerks. It is human nature to like to
be treated with courtesy, with con
sideration. I have known a rich New
York man who carried a very large
balance at his bank to change his
account because of a little incivility
of the receiving teller. One warm
day when transacting business at the
bank the man removed his hat and
put it on the shelf in front of the
teller's window. The teller ordered
him harshly to remove his hat. "Yes,"
was the quick reply, "I will, and I
will remove my account, too," which
he proceeded to do. This was a lit
tle thing, you may say, but it is just
these little things that influence cus
tomers. Bank officials often wonder why Mr.
So-and-So has withdrawn his patron
age, and they will probably never
know that it turned upon a hasty
remark of a teller, a little disposition
on the part of some official to be un
accommodating. .
On the other hand, men often go
out of their way quite a distance in
order to desposit at a bank where
the cashiers or tellers have been
courteous, kind to them, have always
shown a disposition to accommodate.
Some railroads in this country have
built up an enormous patronage and
made millions of dollars by this pol
icy of helpfulness and courtesy among
their employees to their patrons,
while some parallel roads have been
unsuccessful and have gone into the
hands of a receiver largely because
of the lack of courtesy, kindness and
obligingness of their employees.
Courtesy pays in every business in
stitution. Human nature is so consti
tuted that people will often put them
selves to great inconvenience, will
even put up with an inferior article
or with discomforts, rather than pat
ronize houses that treat their custom
ers rudely.
Courtesy is to business and society
what oil is to machinery. It makes
things run smoothly, for it eliminates
be jar and friction and the nerve
'acking.
ONENESS THAT PERVADES THE
UNIVERSE.
The late Professor Shaler of Har
v&rd university said that the greatest
discovery of the last century was that
f the unity of everything in the uni
Verse, the oneness of all life.
This idea that there is but one prin
ciple running through the universe,
une life, one truth, one reality; that
his power Is divinely beneficent, and
Wat we are in a great principle cur
Jent, which is running Godward, is one
Jf the most inspiring, encouraging and
er killing thoughts that ever en
ured the human mind.
The realization that in the truth of
ur being we are a part of the one
&reat creative principle of the uni
verse, a necessary, inseparable part
01 it, and that we .can no more be an
nihilated than can the laws of mathe
matics: that We must hfi Immnrtal mils.
Jeives because we are a part of im
mortal Principle; that we. must par

were created by Perfection, solves
the
greatest mysteries of life and

Jt, which nothing else can give.
ue constant contemplation of our
union with the infinite life helps to
establish a certainty in our lives, an
assurance that we are not the play
things of chance, the puppets of ac
cident or fate; that we are not tossed
hither and thither in the universe, the
victims of a cruel destiny which we
cannot control
Just in proportion as we realize this
oneness with the Divine, this atone
ment with, our Maker, &o our lives
become calm, confident, creative.
I have seen a delicate woman pass
through sufferings and trials which
would have sent most strong men
and women to an insane asylum, and
yet she never wavered or complained,
but was always, even during the dark
est hours, poised, helpful, serene, al
ways full of love for her fellow-men.
There was a light in her eye which
was not born of earth, because she
was so intrenched in principle, in
truth, so conscious of her oneness
with the Divine, so completely in tune
with the Infinite, and her faith was so
gigantic that nothing could happen to
throw her off her center. Not even
torture or starvation or ostracism
could snuff out that divine light which
shone in her eyes or destroy her
equanimity or serenity. She felt the
presence of a divine hand leading,
guiding, protecting her, and she was
not afraid.
It has ever been a 'mystery to the
world that martyrs and prisoners
could go through such sufferings and
tortures, not only without a tremor
of fear, but even with the assurance
of victorious triumph. The reason
was that they were anchored in eter
nal principle, buttressed by truth, jus
tice and right Nothing could happen
seriously to disturb them, because the
hand that held them fast was divine,
omnipotent.
Just in proportion as we have a per
fect sense of our at-one-ment with the
Divine shall we receive the life cur
rent, the health current, which can
heal all our diseases. This is the se
cret of all mental healing, of all
health, prosperity and happiness, a
conscious union with the Divine. There
is no harmony, no health, no genuine
happiness that is lasting and worth
while outside of this at-one-ment If
we could only constantly live in the
consciousness of this union we could
always maintain physical and mental
harmony. This is the secret of all
human blessedness.
In this consciousness we do not
grow old in spirit Instead of declin
ing with the years we renew our
youth perpetually, and we constantly
advance to greater and greater
growth.
What a comforting and sustaining
thought it is that an infinite power
presides over us which is kinder to
us than we are to ourselves, kinder
than we can be to those we love best;
a force which is always ready to heal
our hurts and to restore us, no mat
ter how we have sinned In violating
nature's law!
When one feels that his hand is
gripped by the Omnipotent hand he
is "too near to God for doubt or fear,"
and he knows that no harm can come
to him from any finite source.
The realization of all this will help
us to live the life which is worth
while, and will show us the bareness,
the hollowness, the emptiness of the
selfish, greedy struggle in which most
of us are engaged. The consciousness
that we actually do live, move and
have our being in Divinity will elevate
our standards and multiply our pow
ers as nothing else can.

Jest:
A young woman from abroad is
starting her conquest of the country
by entering into domestic service with
a haughty family. She had an after
non off last Sunday and she put on
her finest finery and paraded down
the street with another domestic, a
friend. And as they were walking
along, talking of this and that, compar
ing experiences and notes and other
such things, the companion said:
"Look, Norah! There's the woman
you work for on the other side of the
street!"
"Heavens.Maggie ! v I hope she don't
see me!"
"Why? Are you afraid av yep
boss?"
"No, ye fool. But it would be Just
like her to see this hat an' go an'
get one Just like it!"
Walrus Ate Itself to Death.
Ephraim, a huge walrus at the New
York zoological park, has died of
sheer laziness, superinduced by the
most voracious appetite ever pos
sessed by any animal. It was caught
near Etah, Greenland, by Paul Rainey,
and was presented to the park four
years ago. At that time he weighed
149 pounds, but he began eating his
way to an early death on the day he
arrived. Eating was a continuous per
formance with Ephraim until he be
came so fat that it pained him to
move. He weighed 500 pounds on
the day of his death. In the last four
months his weight .Increased at the
rate of half a pound a day.

LITTLE ESSENTIALS
A Model Dairy House Where Cleanliness Is Paramount.
Don't blame the cow that kicks the
Jian who allows her to go around with
Bore teats.
It is rather hard to be asked to buy
white duck trousers for milkers while
selling milk at something less than
four cents a quart to dealers who
double their money on It
There is a close connection between
clean milk and a clean conscience.
No man can afford to feed high
quality feed to low quality cows, but
a good many dairymen keep right on
doing it
In many a dairy farm the manure
pile represents the larger half of the
profits. Better take good care of the
manure.
Saving the liquid manure and using
it as a fertilizer adds to the profits,
the health of the cows and the at
tractiveness of the dairy farm.
While the dairyman must work Sun
days and holidays he is certain of his
money whether the wind blows high
or low, whether the crops are good
or bad.
In the prevention of disease in a
dairy herd, too much stress cannot
be put on cleanliness.
We should place the cows in the
stable in the fall before extreme cold
weather and begin feeding winter ra-
CONVENIENT BOX FOR STABLE
Handy Place to Keep Bridles, Brushes
and Curry-Combs Free From
Pestiferous Rats.
For the use of a one or two-horse
farmer take a soda cracker box, one
with hinges on the top, putting on
hasp and staples to fasten top, which
answers for the door. Put in a parti
tion lengthwise of the box. Two-thirds
of the width of the box must be al
lowed for the "bridleroom" and the
other one-third of width is divided up
into small compartments for the cur-

ry-comb, brush and for salt for the
mules or horses. Where more than one
or two head of stock are kept a larger
box will have to be used. But even at
this, a very handy and serviceable box
may be made for about forty or fifty
cents. A light pair of hinges and the
necessary screws can r be bought for
ten or fifteen cents; the hasp and
staples will cost another ten or fifteen
cents, and the nails and a small lock
will cost about fifteen oents. Now,
with an outlay of only 45 cents, you
have a box that will keep the rogues
and rats away from your bridles, etc.,
and where you will have them always
at your hand. Southern Agriculturist

mm
tions. It Is poor economy to compel
the cows to live on half rations late
in the fall and be in poor condition at
the beginning of the winter.
Keep the cow stable whitewashed
and use absorbents in the gutters to
keep down the foul odors and save
the liquid manure.
Feed the heifers liberally with bran
for a few weeks before coming in.
It assists developing the lives they
have to support
Don't allow too much tomfoolery
around the heifer or allow the chil
dren to tease her or teach her to kick
and fight
Provide good large, mangers and
feed boxes, for a cow likes to have
her feed palatable as well as man, and
it will save large losses.
The first stanchions were used for
punishing men, but were later used
for punishing dairy cows. Chains are
more humane.
Train the heifers so that when they
come in they will have cow habits and
will milk the first time without lift

TREATMENT TO AVOID SMUT
Severe Damage to Crop in Arkansas
Was Needless Because Disease
Is Easily Prevented.
(By MARTIN NELSON, Director of Ar
kansas Experiment Station.)
Many -oats in the state last year
were severely damaged by smut The
loss due to this disease was needless,
because it is easily prevented. Treat
ing the seed with formaldehyde be
fore planting is practical and effec
tive. 1. Mix one pound (one pint) of for
maldehyde with 40 gallons of water
in a large-sized barrel.
2. Put a bushel or more of oats in
a two-bushel bag (a cheap gunny sack
of very coarse, open material).
3. Dip bag and oat into the solu
tion and shake up and down until all
oats are thoroughly wet. Elevate and
drain.
4. Allow the oats to remain in the
bag for about two hours, or empty in
a heap and leave for about two hours,
5. Spread them out to dry. When
nearly dry, drying may be hastened
by sprinkling them with thoroughly
slaked lime.
6. Sow about ten per cent more per
acre to allow for the swelling.
7. The machinery and receptacles
to be used in handling the oats after
they, are treated should first be thor
oughly cleansed with the solution.
8. Mix the solution just before us
ing. Apply the treatment just before
seeding.
For convenience a pulley may be
arranged directly over the open end
of the barrel and through it a rope
can be used for dipping, shaking and
draining the bags of oats.
Another method sometimes used in
treating seed with formaldehyde con
sists of spreading the seed out in a
three-inch layer on a smooth, clean
floor, sprinkling them with the solu
tion, and then shoveling back and
forth to insure contact of all seed
with the solution. The treated seeds
are then shoveled into a pile and" cov
ered with sacks or canvas to keep
the gas inclosed. After six or eight
hours the covers are removed and the
oats spread out to dry.
Planting Strawberries.
Strawberry plants fail to grow more
frequently from being set too deeply
than from any other cause. The
crown should always be above the
surface of the ground. A dibble Is
better than a trowel for planting.
When the hole is made the long, fine
roots should, be placed in the hole
and the earth pressed very tightly
about them. If there is danger of a
dry time, water may be put in the
dibble hole and allowed o soak away
before the plant is sex m.
Co-Operat'on.
Every business in the world except
fanning is well organized. Combina
tion in other lines has been the rule
because it is more profitable than to
operate in smaller units. The same
principle a. plies to farming. A farm
is too small a unit to operate tc the
best advantage as the buying and sell
ing unit Agriculture will be made
more profitable by the rapidly increas
ing development of co-oBemin .
