If a business man wrote to you on a scrap of paper and
never used a letter head, you would conclude he wasn't
much of a success—wouldn't you? A man who does not
use modern business methods cannot possibly compete
with the man who does. A man who pays all his bills
by cash and never by check does not impress people with
being a successful man.
If you pay your bill* by check* on your Bank Ac
count here you are writing upon the. Letter Mead of
5? Success.

"Prohibition has made a. prohlibi

cently. "The grocer® are helped
woadtrfully in the matter of collec

GOT THE HOSSilS ASHORE.
And HeyDidn't Go About It In the Reg
ular Official Way, Either.
In his |yo«riger days Sir Bryan Ma
hon was (quite a character In the nrmy
and manj* are the tales that nre told of
his daredevil recklessness and his no
less readj resourcefulness In an emer
gency.
Once, for Instance, a lot of horses
bad to bo unloaded at Isnialliu. There
svei.' no bouts ai.d tliere was shortage
of slings, to say nothing of gioairaets,
breast firths and ell the other queer
paraphernalia that disembarking offi
cers delight in.
But Mahon, who Is. of course, a son
of Erin's Isle, had seen horses disem
barked on the wild Irish coast many
and many a time In rough and ready
fashion, and he knew what they could
do when they had to. So, while the
others were discussing ways and means
below decks, he simply threw these
horses overboard.
The animals promptly swam ashore,
and while the horror stricken disem
barking officer was looking on aghast,
too surprised even for words, Mahon
ordered the trumpet for "stables" to
be sounded, and every horse promptly
lined np on the beach.—London Tele
graph.
DRILLED TO PERFECTION.
8ocret of the Military Success of "the
Madman of the florth."
From drill man gets accustomed to
doing under any circumstances what
has been hammered into his brain time
after time till It becomes second nature
to him.
Charles XII. of Sweden, "the mad
man of the north," ripped most of
Europe up the back again and again
because his soldiers were drilled to
perfection before be let them take the
field at a time when there was great
neglect of drill in other armies. IIo
valued 1,000 well drilled fighters above
10,000 not so well drilled, and. madman
or genius, bis Judgment was vindicated
repeatedly In terrible battles.
One night Charles XII. was surprised
In Poland by an attacking nrmy of
8,000 when his scant force of COO was
sleeping like the dead from the ex
haustion of a hard march. Before his
outposts and sentinels could be driven
In his small band was aroused, mount
ed, formed In battle line—all in pitchy
blackness—and swung Into a fierce
charge upon the enemy. P.y daylight
the Russians and Poles who had
thought to eat LIm up were virtually
annihilated.—Westminster Gazette.
How C!;s.':'3 rc Colored.

manner in wlikj the sunlight falls

droj-s of mjlstu:e w!:!cli g> to form
the cloud. Heavy rain clouds, on the
other band, are found much nearer the
earth, and so the light falls on them
more directly from above, giving a sil

Due's In Greenland.
In Greenland when one man has
been Insulted by another the adversa
ries each compose a satire In verse.
This each man recites to liis household
until the servants and the women
know It by heart. Then a place of
meeting Is appointed. The two men.
the lnsulter and Insulted, the offender
and the offended, stand face to face,
and each recites his poem, tlis friends
and servants form a chorus. Each man
tries hard to raise the laugh against
his adversary. Each man speaks in
turn, whipping the enemy with epi
gram and quip, and after two hours of
this wordy battle the meeting gives
the victory to him of the two adversa
ries who has amused the whole as
sembly most.
An Odd Team.
Over on® of the trails of the Sahara
desert the queerest of teams is employ
ed in drawing a two wheeled cart
which carries light freight The team
consists of a camel and a small mule,
and, while the loads may be unevenly
distributed between them, the mates
never disagree. Each draws his por
tion of the load, the camel loping along
with great strides, while the mule
trots beside him.
