ing people wliat to do. lhere always
will be a large number of persons
who are unable to rely on their5 onrq
judgement. Others come to a con
elusion with easo and certainty.
A young man had accumulated
81.000. and was debating whether he
Buouid tnyVsmkll ealidy-stdre wfth
it or whether he shodld lend it on a
ft Ako. The'latter lie knew" was
ecure wav. T!itf"dther -promised
groatprofitii In this preptaxity ho
saw an advertisement: - "Adrico
given to those going into business.'
After stating his case, the counsel
or said.
"My fee will be five dollars in ad
vance."
When this was paid, he asked:
'tDoyou understand the candy
l business r
fXtf&Wnk It was neces
sary, l exxect to supervise it merely
l henyou win lose all your money
n three months."
"You think I had bettor lend tho
money on the mortgage."' - "" "
"1 do not say that. What is your
business ? that is, what do you per-
ectly understand V
f'inknow r ther pickle f business
through' arid through. i I cau make
piCKies oi an juuus, . uut x uu not

"Never mind what yoti like. Go
and get a small place and make pick-
es. tio irom hotel to hotel, restau
rant to restaurant. In ten years
come back and see me. You will
Have ten thousand dollars at least.
'Here is a card I want you to put
it whereyou cun see it a hundred
times a day." These are the words
on the card: "Business is business.
jlen don't do what they like; they do
what they can."
The card had a strange iacinaiion
or him. Ho read it with care as he
walked along tho street. As he stud-
ieel it new light seemed to enter his
lie xouna a uingy uasuicui, hqu
began to arrange for his operations.
Of course, vinegar must be got,
sevoral barrels of it. Some was of
fered him at ten cents a gallon, some
more was shown at five cents. "Which,
shall I take?" He thought of the
IroTpdf dtf his card. He seomed to
see people testing his pickles, and,
. .i f it j &
not llaing inem, uepnrw wituuuw uuy-
mg. "l hey win Know gooa vinegar,
thought he; and . so he bought the
honest stuff.
.In a few davs several tubs of jraate-
rials weri ready; and" he khew lie
must market them. Now he greatly
readed to face strange people and
push his goods upon their notice. He
never had courage when a boy, and
now its a young man he leit more
timldnt seemed, uut he tuouguc
of the words of the card and entered
a restaurant. The evident manager
was a blooming young woman ; and
th pickle dealer .was more afraid of
woTiwn thawtnen. uut "business is
business" repeated itself over and
over and over in his mind.
Hie answer to his statement was
that his pickles would be tried, and
if found all right, would be purchas
ed.
. - "triad J got that good vinegar,
thought tho young man; and he be
gan to feel there was a certain power
in uie maxim ins aaviser naa given.
He began to feel a courage he had
nover expected in meeting people and
trying to sell his goods to them.
Uaiime at a store to get. if possi
ble. an order for pickles in bottles,
he was quickly and rudely met with:
iuii t n aub h boo auj oubu uu
Noticing the utter dismay on the
young man's face, the merchant said
short and sharp: "Don't you know
enough oi your business to put np
your goods attractively.
As lie retreated, ruffled and dis
heartened, the maxim repeated itself
over and over, with this addittona
sentence: "It is business to put up
goods attractively." He sought out
a lithographer, and had some hand
somely colored labels printed.
: ?They will buy the bottles," said
a friend, "just for the picture you
havo on them."
When he had gained sufficient
courage, ho sought out again the
merchant who had rebuffed him. "I
have come to make you a present of
a box of fine pickles." ;
i Why do you make me a present
of them?" . .
"Because you gave me advice that
is worth a great deal."
The morning of one irourth of J nly
came and he pondered whether to go
to his store or not. All at once he
thought : "People going on picnics
will "want pickles." f It was the magic
words on the little card that ran
throueli his mind.. He found as he
had thoughtV a large number of buy
ers waiting for him.
The little card was consulted in all
sorts of weather. If a man made
roposition to him of any kind and
e was in doubt, he would go and
look at the words, thoueh he knew
them by heart already. : One day
cheese merchant came to persuade
him to buy his stock.
"People." said he, "who buy pick
les always bnj cheese. You will do
a big trade." It was a temptation. He
went nd. loosed at the words and
studied them intently, trying to think
out their application to the case in
hand. ,V&n do w"ak ineJ can," ho
reflected. - VI would like to sell cheese
but I know l ean sell pickles." Then
he returned. Now he was ' resolute
and firm, although by nature easily
lent and swayed by the words of
others.
'.Business is business, lie said.
"I am iu the pickle business. If I
cannot" make money in this I shall
quit and go into something else; but
L Will iioi. liavu twu aiuus u uij
lands." '
It was a. turning point. After this
ie could refuse all influence to go
uto something that seemed at the
time more lucrative: He was not
only industrious; it is plain he had a
nxecr principle oi action, ui course
he Vas successful." All men who
nnt indnstrv and Jmind to their work
arefconnd to be successful. When
the ten years were itp" of course he
had the ten thousand dollars, anu
more too.

GOV. HOLT FOR THE CABINET.

Baleigh, N. C. Nov, 11.
The political leaders of the South and
West consider Gov. Thos. M. Holt, of north
Carolina, to be one of the able statesmen
of tin country, and his wise, conservative
and able administration have made for him
a political record that any ; man' mar be
proud to possess ': The splendid victory
that North Carolina has won over the Gid.
eon' Band and Third party, in the very
home of Polk, the Third party champion.
certainly entitles the State to a plaoe in the
cabinet of President Cleveland, and the
people will rejoice to see Gov, Holt offered
the place of Secretary of the Treasury or
Postmaster Genera!, no man In this conn
try would fill the position with more credit
and honor to the administration. The ap
pointment of Gov. Holt would give pleasure '
and satisfaction to the entire South, which
gives 159 electoral rotes to Mr, Cleveland.

such efficiency, such earnestness, such

haye certainly rendered most deserving,
timely, admirable service. It was the
State Press or a part of it that kept the

Bat for them the unprincipled, reckless,
unwise leaders aid betrayers of the Farm.
