Successful Man Realized Inability to Make Accurate Forecast. This trom a man of Suceess: “My. business requires as much decision as picking winners on a. racetrack or buying stocks in Wall street. I mean that judgment is required: I have to figure out in my own mind in my own way what to do‘ in order to accom- plish a certain purpose, Long ago I recognized fully that only 7 per cent of the human race is successful in ' following its own judgment. Just think: Out of 100 good men, of aver age brains, 93 go wrong in following their judgment and'7 go right. Well, I agreed with myself that I should be one of the 93, so, after diligently working out a plan of.action and cast- ing my vote one way, T always did the opposite. If+I, figure out to-day “ that steel_is going down I buy some *; of it, eéppering my judgment. In that . way I have achieved success th’ to ,* some may seem marvelous. I am com- plimented on my judgment, whereas » in truth I am coppering myself every * aiément of my life.” That’s where he shows judgment.—New -York Press.

DEFECTIVE PAGE VERY UGLY WHEN DRUNK. Qualification Not Absolutely Essential y to a Minister. A preacher in Topeka, Kan., tells this story relative to another member of “the cloth,” and inferentially the tale must be true: 4 “A church ‘at Anadarko was consid- ering the merits of a pastor who had applied for the pasterate. The deac- ons had been told that a lawyer of the | town had known the pastor intimate- | ly. They Went to him and asked for a statement of the qualifications of the candidate. ‘Yes, I know Brother very well,’ said the lawyer. q! tended his church after he ,entered the ministry. He is scholarly, able | and eloquent and I am sure you will” like him.’ The deacons thanked the lawyer and were going away when he called to them in consequence of an afterthought, ‘I dcn’t know as makes any difference,’ said he apolo- getically, ‘but perhaps I should tell you that he’s as ugly as h—l when he’s drunk.’” A LITTLE TOO PREVIOUS. Boy’s Parting Shot at the. Professor Was Ill-Timed. In a public school in the northwest section; it is the custom for the super- vising principal to receive . “Good morning” and “Good afternoon”, from the pupils on entering and leaving the school. It was rather repulsive for ome boy, who evaded the custom as often as possible. One Friddy’-after- noon he saluted the principal~ with the startling farewell, “Go to the dev- il, professor,” and ran out of the school, The professor. became very angry over the affair, and thought over several plans of punishment to mete out on the following Monday morring. Monday morning came, and with it the boy, who sat on a bench outside the class room. professor appeared, he began’ to cry, and loudly explained: “Oh, profess- or, don’t expel me; we were going to move away-from here on Friday, and now we ain't.” It is needléss to say he. was not “expelled.—Philadelphia Ledger. : Modern Scarecrows.

Some light is thrown on the bilities of memory culture by an in esting recital contained in the aut ae Diography of Robert © Houdin, famous conjurer, He taught his son to glance at, say, a shop window and- to memorize accurately, as in a brain | picture, the window’s contents, Then he would ask him to describe the con- tents, checking and correcting him as he went on. On¢one occasion Houdin was commanded to the Tuileries to give a performance before the French court. As he passed through an ante-. | room to the salon he bade his son to note the arrangement of the rooms andthe contents of the bookcases. | Then at: the:close of the entertain- | ‘ment Houdin astonished his audience | ‘by giving what he called a -“second- | it | sight” test. . iarity with, the’ Declating his unfamil- Tuilieries,.
