He tears open the envelope, and as he looks at the -address a flush of colour steals over his face.

(TO ns cnNTINUFD,) Steer Steaigbt. " There is only one road to success, and that is in a bee line from where you stand." That saying of a well known writer upon commercial topics might be classed as one of the axioms of trade. Men follow it and attain success, and then conies the danger,` the deviation and disaster: The successful man gains besides moneya supreme confi- dence in himself. And he has a right to. He has demonstrated that he is the possess- or of those qualities whioh the world has endorsed as the chief requisites of success. His straight steering has brought him to affluence and given him a surplus. That surplus is the reef upon which the success- ful man is apt to become a wreck. He seeks to employ it in linea orventures foreign to the business lie has pursued for a life tune. The personal equation is largely eliminated when the surplus goes into the Central American Gold Mining Company the Irreproachable Dish Washing Machine; the Consolidated.

He became interested in a patent for making a very merchantable aretiole in twenty-four hours, which ordinarily required days. Re pinned his faith and.put up his money to back the enterprise.

Never to ouch any enterprise other then my chosen busi- ness. I will not have the care and responsi- bility of dividend interests. My surplus income goes into first -plass dividend -paying bonds." That mans only trouble outside of his business is cutting coupons. It is common rumor on Wall street that ono of the richest associations of capitalists 1n this country has lost money in nearly all its operations outside of that in which it legitimately engaged,and which has made some of the greatest fortunes in America. Within a short time they were forced to put up millions of means. Temptations to out- side investment. They have been saddled with enterprises that are unproductive and minus a future. What is true of giants in the business world is equally true of the mon of smaller means. Temptation to outside investment comes to the praprietor of a news stand or a peanut vendor, if he has loose money, with the same persistency that it pursues a millionaire. We have noted retail grocers to have taken an interest in a patent buzz saw, carriage spring, or other notion, and which little side show has withdrawn their at- tention from business, and led them into annoyance and losses. The road to success is -easy, plain and very straight. From success to disaster is a very inviting road, and many there are travelling thereon. Tho remedy is to invest surpltia money where it brings an income t from sources that do not demand personal attention, and call for additional capital.

Nelson's house at :Merton, in the London suburbs, the house in which the great ad- miral lived,was said, the other day, to have been purchased by a London barrister. Not, so, however, say Some writers, who have evidently the best means of knowing.
