PEOPLE OF THE DAY.
.Senor lynacio Marlscal, the Mexican
vice'presldent and minister of foreign
Affairs, who represented bis country
at the Chicago festlral, has bad an In-
,, teresting career, lie was born in bum
ble circumstances at Oaxaca and from
his boyhood up. to: the present has dis-

States who are to serve as commission
ers at the Paris, exposition. The other
11 commissioners are men. President
McKlnley decided to appoint Mrs.
BE50H IGNACIO MARISCAL.
played Inordinate energy and ambi
tion. Step by step be climbed the lad
der from errand boy to vice president
and distinguished himself in all the
various stages of his career. The Phil
adelphia Saturday Evening Post, re
lates this anecdote of Senor-Marlscal:
A friend once said to him:
f "You have filled every position ex
cepting president, haven't you?"
Senor Mariscal shook his head grave
ly as he replied:
"The honor is very great, but It has
not enough hard work to suit a man of
my active temperament."
White' Rxriting Career.
Major the Hon. Harry White, the
young Englishman who is now serving
as mayor of Kttfawayo, the capital of
. Rhodesia.' has had a most picturesque
and exciting career. lie began active
life as 'an 'officer in the Grenadier
guards. Incoming later a member of
the, staff of Lord Londonderry, lord
lieutenant of Ireland. During these
days, he was a famous leader of ger
mans. Then he fell under the Influ
ence of Cecil Rhodes, became an offl
cef 4 In- the Chartered company, took
part, in the Jameson raid and was
brought back to the scene of his for
xner society triumphs to occupy a cell
In Bow Street prison. When the brief
period of his punishment was over, he
went back to Africa and got himself
chosen mayor of the Rhodesia capital.
MRS. POTTER PAXMER.
Palmer In recognition of her distin
guished services at the World's fair in
Chicago and also as a compliment to
the women's clubs of the country,
Which favored her selection.
Mrs. Palmer's selection as one of
Commissioner Peck's aids is especially
Interesting because of the controversy
between these two which took place
last summer, when Mr. Peck declared
against the selection of women to serve
at the exposition because the French
government had not then made known
Its willingness to accept members of
the gentler sex as commissioners.
She Helps the Count.
Count Tolstoi has paid some very
charming tributes to the unselfish de
votion and helpfulness of his wife. It
Is said that within the first eight years
of her married life she made seven
copies of her husband's novel. "War
and Peace," a work in six volumes,
and at tne same time, as now. she con
ducted all her husband's business cor
respondence. The countess Is an uu
sparing critic, and much of her hus
band's work has undergone great mod
iflcatlon at her suggestion.

John Claflln Is one of the better men
In the world, a traveler, a story teller,
a thorough business man and all that,
but I wonder if be follows his father's
habit of buying an apple every morn
ing from the old woman near the front
entrance to his great , store ? . II. B.
Claflln neveX let a day go by without
buying an apple: It was his invariable
morning custom! .'He was as regular
as the clock. If the old lady missed
him, she was sa'd all day, because she
knew he was 111 and at home.

Something That Practically Any Han
Can Do Through Self Denial.
'There are some men of genius,'
said Mr. Nipplngly, "who accumulate
great fortunes by great strokes, but
by far the greater number of fortunes,
ncluding those of moderate dlmen
sions, .and, these form the great ma-
orlty of all, are made by-the very sim
ple process of living within one's in
come and Investing the surplus , with
more or less wisdom, but always where
it will be safe.
"The older I grow the more amazed
am that more people don't lay up a
competence for themselves, as most
anybody can do, by beginning early in
Ife to live within their Income and
sticking to that course faithfully. Did
do this myself? No. Am I, how
ever, having learned the wisdom of
this course, now making a beginning?
am obliged to say 'No.' I am still
spending all I get and laying by noth
ing.
"There are some lessons that we all
easily acquire, but never turn to our
own advantage. 'One of these Is of the
benefits that arise from the exercise
of self denial. We get from this at
once the direct benefit of what we
save,' and, self denial : nourishes,
strengthens and broadens the will and
enables a man constantly to do and to
earn more and more.
"There's simply nothing like self de
nial. - It Is the key to every one of
life's treasures, and everybody has
one of these golden keys In his posses
sion, eager to help him and waiting
only for him to bring It In use.'.' New
