SUCCESS IN LIFE.
Pvt Swain*** Bafoi*a Plaaaura Until
You Hovo Reached tha Top.
In an article called "Succeeding
With Wbat You Have” in the Amen- j
can Magazine Charles M. Schwab says:
“I have always felt that Hie surest
way to qualify for the joh Jus! ahead ,
is to work a little harder than any one |
else on the joh one is holding down.
One of the nn>st successful men I have 1
known never carried a watch until be
began to earn SIO.OUO a year. Before ,
that he had managed wi*h a nickel
alarm clock in liis bedroom, which lie
never forgot to wind.
“Young men may enjoy dropping
their work at i> or »t o'clock and slip
ping into a dress suit for nn evening of
pleasure, but the habit has certain
drawbacks. I happen to know several
abiebodled gentlemen who got it so
completely that now they are snending
all their time, days as well as even
ings. In dress suits, serving food In
fashionable restaurants tp men who
did not get the dress salt habit until
somewhat later In life.
“Recently we have heard much about
Investments. To my mind the best In
vestment a young man starting out in
business can possibly make is to give
all Ids time, all ills euergles, to work
just plain, bard work. After a man’s
position Is assured he can indulge lu
pleasure if he wishes! lie will have
lost nothing by wnltlng—and gained
much. He will have made money
enough really to afford to kjiend some,
and he will know that he lias done his
duty by himself and by the world.”
COLOSSAL CLOCKS.
Th* World's Four Lorgoot Onoo Aro In
'•* TMo Country.
A factory clock in Jersey City, N
J., is the largest In tlie world. Time
can be read with the naked eye at a
distance of three miles. The face of
the «dock is thirty-eight feet in diame
ter; the minute space* are two feet
spurt; the minute hand is twenty feet
long and weigh* one-third of a ton.
The second largest clock In the world
wns built for an electric lilumluai
lng company in Boston. Specifics
tions; Dial, thirty-four feet in dlame
ter; weight of hands, 875 pounds; hour
hnnd, fourteen feet four Inches long:
minute hnnd, eighteen feet six inches

The next two largest clocks are the
Metropolitan tower, New York city,

At the top of 8tj0 steps, in the clock

Silver c*f the Georgian Era.
Tin* appreciation of the work of tb
era of George II. and George III. was
Illustrated by an auction sale which I
attended the other day In London. A
small mustard pot, very simple and ele
g.-uit and slightly battered, was among
the lots. It would have been passed
over by most. eyes, but It bore a ball
mark of George II.’s time, and the
dealers bid eagerly enough for Its
possession until L. fell to an offer of 1!
guinew an ounce. That there are still
possibilities of appreciation In silver,
however, was shown by the price given
for a pnlr of old spoons of no unusual
elegance and not in the tiest condition
They were dated 1013, and the."
brought £10 an ounce. — Westminster

“Dry” Points Leads to Strong Note
to Salooniitf n.
A continuous string of core plaints j
to the Marshal's office regarding the!
shipment of liquors by the saloonmen
Of Seward to Anchorage and other
“dry" points along the government
railroad, has culminated in the issu-i
ence by Marshal Brenneman of strin
gent orders that the traffic must stop!
under penalty of a forfeiture of 11-j
censes. This morning Marshal Bren-t
neman telegraphed to Deputy Mar- j
shal Evans of Seward instructing him !
to notify all saloonkeepers at Seward
that they must assist the office in sup-;
pressing this traffic and refrain from
selling liquors for transportation to j
Anchorage and other points where the
tale of liquor is prohibited or he will
1 rocced to take action against all sa
loons with a view to revoking the li
censes, and will further oppose the
issuance of licenses in Seward at the
expiration of the present licenses.
In this connection Marshal Bren-1
reman states that he expects the co
operation of the saloonmen not only
at Seward, but at Valdez, Cordova
piiu mc^army m maintaining me od
servance of the laws respecting the
rale of intoxicating liquors. He
points out that in this division the sa
loon men have been permitted to sell
liquor by the bottle and case without
molestation and would not be disturb
ed in this matter provided care is
taken that the liquor so sold does notI
go to bootleggers or others who might I
engage in the illegal sale of the same,
but, he also points out, the license is
sued to saloons calls for the sale of
liquor “to be drank on the premises,”
and if violations continue a strict con
struction of the license will be en
forced and the sale, even by the hot ]
tie to be . taken from the premises'
where sold, will be rigidly enforce !'
throughout the entire division.
