During the rest of this year,
•there will appear under the Rober
sonville Department an article on
some element of success. Any
( person who will faithfully practice
the principles found in these ar
ticles .will be sure to succeed in
life. They are not difficult, if you
master one at a time.
The Enterprise is growing very
popular at Robersonville. The
writer sends in twenty-three new
subscribers this week. Most of
them say they have already been
thinking about subscribing, but
just neglected to send in the money.
Words of praise are beard from all
its readers now. More subscribers
will make it a better piper still,
and that will bring more •'subsc fi
bers. It is an endless chain that
works to the good of all. It
costs you nothing to speak a good
word for your county paper, and
thereby increrse the number of its
readers. The increise in support
will give you increased valua.
An Element ot Success
ORDER
Order is used here in the 9en*e of
method, rule, or arrangement. It
means simply to have some system
in the affairs of life. It was ex
pressed by Paul when he said,"Let
all things be done decently and in
order."
If orrter is not learned in child
hood it is seldom ever learnei. So
it is the duty of parents to learn it;
yes. enforce it. The child should
be very anxious to learn it, because
without it he can not succeed.
The mother teaches her child
order, wl en she requires that child
to have a place for its clothing and
toys and compels the child to keep
these things in their places.
It would save much valuable
titne and endless worry and con
fusion, if children knew justwheffe
to find every article of clothing. It
is not only necessary to l\ave a cer
tain wardrobe or trunk for cloth- j
ing but certain articles should have
certain racks in the wardiobs or
certain corners or boxes in the
trunk; so that they could be found
in the dark, if necessary.
This same principle should be
carried into al the details of the
household, the w.)ik basket, the
brooms, the cooking utensils, the
washing materials, etc., etc. Do
not think you have not time. It
will save time. Just try it.
Hoys recieve their training in
ordiliuess by what they do at home,
and not by what they are told. If
they are require to keep the hoes,
shovels, plows, hammers, saws,etc.,
in their proper places, they Will
form the habit of order system that
would go with them through life.
Too many times tools are left out
in the weather, because the boys
have not had this training. The
loss in a few years amounts to the
cost of a new supply of tools, and
every year it amounts to a great
deal of lost time, looking for things
that ought to be in their places. In
a few cases it requires a little more
time, but the gain is very much in
favor of system.
C This idea of system should not
be confined to things alone. It
should include time. There should
be a time to work, a time to rest,
a time to eat, a time to sleep, and
a time to read. If there is uo time
for these duties some of them will
receive too much timet while others
will receive too little. The old
maxim,"a place for everything and
everything In its place," . applies,
irwith equal force to time. Jietija
min Franklinsaid, "Dastthou love
lite? Then squander not time; for
that is the stuff life is made of."
We should count our time as our
lives and part with it as unto th e
Lord.
If nothing were involved but get
ting along in the world, order, sys
tem, should receive our most care
ful attention. While it is essential
to true success, it also has great in
fluence ih the formation of 1 char
acter. You never heard of a "go-,
lucky" idler growing into a strong,
beautiful character. Sa let us de
termine over and over, until we
succeed, that we will systematize
everything, aud so order our time
or to make the most of the few
short years given us for our use,
not waste.

be was In camp witb a friend from
Minnesota. Toward morning, saya the
New Yorker, he awoke shivering with
cold. The Are was very low. His
companion was fast asleep.
It isn't nice to get out of a warm
blanket to roll frosty logs to the fire,
so the wily New Yorker bis
friend a kick and then pretended to
be asleep. There was no response,
and presently the man from New York
tried another kick.
At this the westerner broke into a
laugh. "I did the same thing to you
twenty minutes ago," he explained,
"and thnt's how you enme to be

Then, of course, both turned out to

An Expensive Fire.
She was n splendid servant, but she
didn't know anything about gas to
cook with, so he went to the kitchen
with her to explain about the range.
So that she could see how It was op

While still explaining a message called
him from the kitchen, and he left her,
saying, "I guess you will find that it
will work all right now, Martha."
He didn't see the cook agaltyfor four
or five days, then upon entering ithe
kitchen he said- "Well, Martha, how's
that range doing?"
To his utter consternation, she re

* That Should Interest
Every Reader. 
•According to reports, crop pros
pects were never better than now,
and everybody feels that there will
be great activity in business of all
lines this fall. The Stieff Piano
Company have no reason for com
plaint anyway, for their business so
far this year, far exceeds that of
last year, which Was unusually .
good in all lines. This activity in
piano sales must be accounted for
bv the fact that the Stieff people
sell nothing but the very best in
struments. and save the purchaser
at least one hundred dollars, bv
selling direct from factory to user.
People appreciate this great advan
tage, and also the fact that if _
there should be any reason for,
complaint, they make it direct to
the maker who is responsible.

see more strangers there than in
any other one place in the city.
They seem to follow the Norfdlk
people when it comes time to eat,
and that leads to Linn's in the
Hoard of Trade building, opposite
the Post Office. The same people
have the Pavilion Cafe at Ocean
View, the best place there for
meals.
