I WHAT SHALL 8E DONE TO
! INSURE A HAPPY NEW
i YEAR?
The best resolve to make at this
season is to resolve to make others
happy. This not only brings happiness
to others, but to ourselves, it does
not spring from the seltish desire to
please ourselves by pleasing others,
but from that proper self love which
prompts us to do for others what we
would have them do for us In giving
pleasure we receive pleasure, and thus
the New i'ear Is madg brighter and
happier for all.
A MILITARY DANDY.
Ruxaky's Oaintlnst* Under Fire the
Start of His Riee, to Fame. „
General Ruiaky. who comman/ted
the Russian army that overran GalV
cla and became Id consequence the
hero of the day la Russia, was con
spicuous aa a young lieutenant for tbe
daintiness and elegance of his dress.
In tb« Turko-fiusslan war <?f 1877
Ruzsky, then a young lieutenant, serv
ed as ald-de-camp on the staff of one
of the Russian generals. In this heat
of the battle of Plevna be was order
ed to take a dispatch to the command
er In chief, the famous Skobelev, Be
found Skobelev standing to a rather
exposed : position, surrounded by bis
itaff.
As young Ruzsky delivered his dis
patch a shell from a Tiirkish tbati»ry
struck the ground near by and. ex
ploding, flung a shower of dust and
dirt oyer the party. Most of the offi
cer* Involuntarily ducked tbelr heads,
but young Ruzsky stood firm and
erect Then, as calmly as tf he were
In a ballroom, he drew from bis pock
et a spotless linen handkerchief and
flecked the dust from Uls immaculate
uniform.' " "
A smile of derision passed over the
faces of the staff officers, but Skobelev
looked nt the young lieutenant with
sudden Interest and asked his name
"You will remain with me as a mem
ber of my jStaff," he said to the as
tonished young officer. "1 am In need
of 8ucb men as yon."
Years after, when Ruxsky's service
had proved the correctness of General
Bkobelev's eetlmnte of his abilities, the
general told the Incident of the burst
tog shell to the czar.
"Wben a soldier has such a keen re
gard for his appearo/ice before his
fellow man that no danger can make
him unconcerned abont the figure be
cuts." explained Skebelev, "he makes
s dependable leader of men. He will
suffer death rather than permit any
regard for bis personal safety to Im
pair the lnipn-sstea of Inferiority tbat
be Is so anxious to make upon Uls fel
low man. Even though he be a cow
srd at heart he will always p!ay the
part of a brave men in his deslrs to
have men consider him possessed of
superior qualities.
"In Ruzsky ,1 am doubly fortunate,"
concluded tbe veteran general, "for
Ruzsky Is both a dandy and a brave
man."— Youth's Companion.
OUR WILD PONIES.
"Jino-go-tlgs" Are the Only Hsrds Ws
Have In This Country,
"Look to me like Jtag-go-tlgs," ssld
tbe veteran borsemap at a horse sale
it Durland's when a batch of Virginia
ponies, stubby, scrubby and scraggy,
cime Into the rtng to go under tbe
hammer of tbe auctioneer.
"Jlng-go-tlg's a new one to ma.
VTbat are they—something la tbe horse
wblir " "* "
"Very much—tbe oalv wild ponies
bred In the United States eo far aa 1
know* and I've bought horses In about
ill tbe marketH of tbe country. A Jtog
go-tlg beats anything In tbe world for
l wild, scrawny and disreputable pony.
But tame 'em and they're fine. When
sver you see n pony trap In Baltimore,
Washington. Annapolis or any of the

Honesty In Business Is
the Keynote of
Success
By SIMON F. ROTHSCHILD, New
York Merchant
THE basic needs of th® young
man of today can be classified
as honest)', ambition, perse
verance, health and the three It's.
"Of course/' yon will say, "every
one knows that a man is required to
be honeet in business. That is self
evident." But what I wish to speak
of is innate honesty. The whole
world has learned that dishonesty
and tricky methods are the very
height of business follv and lead to
disaster. BUT THE MER
CHANTS 1) E S I H E T II E I K
YOUNG MEN TO HAVE THAT
HONESTY THAT USED TO BE
CALLED BY THE GOOD OLD
FASHIONED NAME OF "CON
SCIENCE."
We want the honesty that makes
a mau realize that when he is paid
a certain amount per week this
money means that from the open
ing hour to the closing hour he
should be engaged in the work he
has contracted to do.
THE YOUNG MAN WHO TAKES
FIFTEEN OR TWENTY MINUTES
FROM HIS WORK WHILE HE DIS
CUSSES THE AFFAIRS OF THE
NATION AND DEBATES THE LATE

PICK YOUR COMPANY.
Be very circumspect in the choice
of thy company. In the society of
thine equals it is true thou shalt en
joy more pleasure, but in the socie
ty of thy superiors thou shalt find
more profit. To be the best in the
company is the way to grow worse.
The be*t means to grow better is
to be the worst there.—Quarles.
