to be in •style, and partly to avoid
it e extensive purchase of 'absorbent
Cotton, antiseptic gauze, salve and bi-
chloride of mercury tablets In pre-
paration for the annual ibadlfest, I
went and bid in the visible supply of
a certain brand of moist leaven •and
proceeded to eat freely thereof. That
is, almost freely. Three cents per
dab isn''t much.
I ate the first dose with orange
juice, the second with peanut butter
(or goober goo), the third with im-
punity and the fourth with abandon.
Yes, indeed, I took two at a time. And
there was my mistake. One should
not immediately after iruhaling three
large raw turnips and just before
eating a hearty dinner, eat two yeast
cakes in single tile, close order. No,
one shouldn't.
it was but an hour or so after that
heavy evening meal with which I had
tamped down those two restless, foil -
flocked ,hunksof demnition disturb-
ance, that I began to sympathize with
Vesuvius and Lassen. I knew just
how they must have felt. Never again
will I be heard to speak harshly of a
volcano that gives wayto its emotion.
A good man has roting on a good
yeast cake when it comes to non-
keep-dovmableness. My seismograph
registered decidedly. I felt as if some
one had fed me a bushel of dried ap-
ples and then attempted to give me
the watercure. 1 remembered the
story of the trouble -hunting angel
who dropped a cake of yeast over the
battlements of heaven just to "raise
hades." I had never really been
"swelled on myself" before.
' I had often, when weary, "felt like
a good, long loaf;" many a timewhen
waked suddenly in the morning I
.had felt like just another roll; but
this time I impersonated a whole
bakery, on Saturday morning at that.
I wondered when the balloon would
go up and whether my tether would
hold when I gave instructions to un-
tie the shot -bags. I also had qualms
about the parachute opening in time.
1 was a Zeppelin, in doubt as to my
own dirigibility.
Had this not occurred in cold wea-
ther, I should not be writing this• now.
Had I stepped into a telephone booth'
on a warm day, just after this dose,
I'd have turned into some sort of
splinter -filled staff of life.
Further details are unnecessary.
The seething furnace inside me—the
turbulent typhoon, the sibilant siroc-
co=made me thank of the rhyme:
'"Speaking of biggest boobs, I'd
name at Random
Bill Botts, who took a seidditz pow-
der tandem"
And when at last the tempest had
abated its fury; when comparative
calm and a rising barometer indicat-
ed a return to comparative gastrono-
mical normalcy, with the accent en
the gas, I had had my little education
on the subject of vitamn.nes, whatever
that means. I had my diploma, with
a degree and a summum cum laud-
anum.

the cab aped on. "I'11 find out what

flashed across his features as he
thought of the treat in store for/him.
•When at last the boy reached bis
office, where, behind the mahogany
partition with its pigeon hole cut
through the glass front :he sat every
day, he swung back the doors o3 the
safe, took out his books and papers
and made ready for work. He had
charge of the cheque book, and he
alone signed the firm's name outside
of the partners. "Rather young,"
one of them protested, until he looked
into the boy's face, then he gave his
consent; something better than years
of experience and discretion are want-
ed where a scratch of a pen might
mean financial ruin
Breen had proceeded him with but
a nod to his clerks, and had disap-
peared into his private office --an-
other erection of ground glass and
mahogany. Mere the senior member
of the firm shut the door carefully,
and turning his back fished up a tiny
key attached to a chain leading to
in a Ih the result of severe
burns th ed• at the Inside •Inn.
The aucebsa of 'that hotel ands of the
others, .wilncll.,he has since built; is
mainly due..: to the fact that Mr.
Stabler adopted, or invented a
slogan that had not previously been
in general use among ' American
soteikeepers.. That slogan is: "The
Guest as Mways Hight." It -was a
greater drawing card than his plan of
having a bath with every room.
There 'probably were other hotels
that acted on the same principle,
but the gtiests may not have been
.aware of the fact. Mr. Stabler told
his employes publicly that they were
not toargue with guests; they were
to satisfy them. If they failed in this
they had better work for somebody
else. Mr, 'Stater :,ays that his hotels
are operated primarily for the banefit
and convenience of their g'tiests.
Without guests there would be no
hotels. Therefore, the prime neces-
sity of all, employes is to please these
guests.
Some of the instructions and sug-
gestions that the Stabler manage-
ment offers to employes are as fol-
low's:—
Snap judgments of men often-
times are faulty. A man may wear
a red necktie, a green vest and tan
shoes, and still be a gentleman." '
"The Unpretentious Man with the
soft voice may possess the wealth of
Croesus. The stranger in cowhide
boots, broad brim and rusty black
hat may be President of a railroad
or a Senator from over the Ridge"
"You cannot afford to be superior
or sullen with any patron of this
hotel. I said so."
"At ram intervals some perverse
member of our force disagree with
a gueste+as to the rightness of this
or that."
"He maintains that the meat is
well done—when the guest says it
isn't."
"Or that this sauce was ordered
when the guest says the other."
"Or that the boy did go up to the
room."
"Or that no party called."
"Or that it was e room reserved
and not dinner for six."
"Or that the trunk wasn't there."
"Either may be right."
But these are permanent instruc-
tions: '"No employee of this hotel is
allowed the 'privilege of arguing any
point with ita guest. He must ad-
just the matter at once to the
guest's satisfaction, or call hie
superior to adjust it Wrangling
has no place in this hotel."
HOW STATLER MADE HIS
HOTELS SUCCEED
Probably there is no hotel in the
United States which has been visited
by so many Canadians as bhe Stabler
in .Buffalo. There are two reasons
for this. The first is that Buffalo is
the nearest large American city for
some millions of Canadians, and the
second is that the Statler is their
favorite betel. It was the first hotel
built by E. M. Statler. Later he built
a hotel in Cleveland, then in Detroit,
next in St. Louis, and, last of all, in
New York, the Pennsylvania, with
2,200 rooms with baths. A new
Statler is almost completed in Buf-
falo, and the latest announcement is
that he will build a 'hotel in Boston.
The occasion seems fitting for some
remarks concerning Mr. Statler and
the means by which he •has become
one of the notable hotel men in the
world. The data is eupplied by the
New York Times, which tells us .that
Mr. Statler began work at the age
of nine. He had practically no
education, and when he started
work at Wheeling, West Virginia,
he took a job in •a glass factory,
earning before he left ninety vents
a day.
He quite his jab to apply for a
position as bell boy at the McClure
House in Wheeling, which was con-
sidered very grand indeed, and
which paid him only six dollars a
Month. But the work area easier,
and we presume there were some
tips. He advanced and became
night clerk, and finally day clerk at,
$50 a month. But then he seemed
to come against a dead wall. \He
made up his mind to leave, and
only remained because 'he was able
to lease the billiard room and rail-
road ticket concessions front the
hotel, which was planning an en-
largement. He made money by
this deal and presently bought out
a defunct bowling alley, which he
divided into a billiard 'room, a
lunch room and a barber 'slum. He
made more money, and fifteen years
after having entered `the hotel busi-
ness was making from $4,000 to
$5,000 •a year. He felt rich enough
to buy what had been denied :him
in, chis boyhood, namely, some fun
and playti'gie. So he acquired the
!habit of coming up to Canada every
year for a few weeks' fishing.
On his way up he passed through
Buffalo and was struck by the
Square building, which with •astound-
ing prodigality, had running ice wa-
ter on each floor. He ate at a near-
by restaurant and the .prices he paid
seemed exorbitant. Thus he develop-
ed the idea of a restaurant in Buffalo.
For $8,400 a year he got the privilege
of :building and operating a restaurant
on the ground floor of the Ellicott
Building. Within itlhaale months he
had installed $26,000 worth of equip-
ment all on credit. Bills .were pre-
sented which he could.not meet die
seemed about to be ruined before be
could get started, but by transferring
all fits property to some member of
his family he defeated by a single
day the legal processes. that would
,have wiped him out. Eventually he
did pay his bille, and his restaurant
became popular. When the Pan-
American Exposition was held in Buf-
falo he erected a temporary hotel of
2,100 rooms, but brake only even on
the deal. Later on be got the con-
cession for the famous Inside Inn, at
St. Louis,- Land gleaned up more than
a quarter of a million dollars.
With this money he began the
building of the Statler Hotel in Buf-
falo at a time when he was lying

Sometimesyou've learned a quota-

you've credited it to Shakespeare or
some other well known writer. when,
as a matter of fact, the author was
the writer of the Proverbs.
Here are some of the more, familiar
of these great sayings which you'll
find in the Bible—in the Book of Pro-
verbs, the guide book for the every-
day an:

"Pride goeth before destruotion,end
a haughty spirit before a fall."
"Better it is to be of an humble
spirit with the lowly, than to divide
the spoil with the tproud."
"'He that is slow to anger is better
than the :mighty; and he that ruieth
bis spirit greater than he that baketh
a city."'
Better is a dry morsel, and quiet-
ness therewith, than .an house full of
sacrifices 'with strife"
"Let a bear robbed of her whelps
meet a man, rather than 'a fool in his
folly."
"A friend loveth at all times, and
a brother is born for adversity."
"A merry heart doeth good like a
medicine; but a broken spirit drieth
the bones."
"A man that hath friends ,must show
himself friendly, and there is a friend
that sticketh closer than a brother."
"It is better to dwell in a corner of
the housetop, than with a brawling
woman in a wide house."
"Whoa) keepeth his mouth and his
tongue keepeth his soul from troub-

rather than silver and gold.
"The rich and the poor meet to-

"Rob not the poor, because he is

"Train up a child in the way he

boy's whole inheritance, and of late
had treated him as if he had been his
OWn eon.
As to his own affairs, close as he
sailed to the wind in his money t.ans-
actionsa--so close sometimes that the
Exehange had more than once over-
hauled his dealings—it was generally
admitted that when Arthur Breen
gave his word --"a difficult thing often
to get—he never broke it. This was
offset by another peculiarity with
Less beneficial results: When he had
.once done a man a service only to find
him ungrateful, no amount of apolo-
gies or atonement thereafter ever
ntoud him to forgiveness. Narrow-
gauge mets are egynetimes built that
w It was to be expected, therefore,
considering the quality of Duck -
worth's champagne and the impres-
sion made on Jack by his uncle's
outburst, that the ride down town
in the cab was marked by anything
but cheerful conversation between
Breen and his nephew, each of whom
sat absorbed ip his own reflections.
"I didn't mean to be hard on the boy,"
ruminated Breen, "but if I had picked
up everybody who wanted to know
me, as Jack has done, where would
I be now?" Then his mind still
clouded by the night at the club (he
had not confined himself entirely to
champagne), he began, 'es was his
custom, to concentrate his attention
upon the work of the day—on the
way the market awoutld open; on the
remittance a belated customer had
promised and about which he had
some doubt; the meeting of the board
of directors in the new mining eom-
pany—"The Great Mukton Lode," in
which he had an interest, and a large
one --etc.
Jack looked out of the 'windows,
his eyes taking in the remnants of -
the autumnal tints in the Park, now
nearly gone, the crowd filling the
sidewalks; the lumbering stages and
the swifter -moving horse -cars cram-
med with eager men anxious to be-
gin the struggle of the day—not with
their hands—that mob had swept past
hours before—but with their brains
--wits against wits''and the devil take
the man who slips and falls.
Nothing of it all interested him.
His mind was on the talk at the
breakfast table,- especially his uncle's
ideas of hospitality, all of which had
appalled and disgusted him. .,With
his father there had always been a
welcome for every. one, no matter
what the position in life, the only
standard being Nine of breeding and
character—and certainly Peter bad
both. .His uncle had helped him, of
course—put him under obligations
he could never repay. Yet, after all,
it was proved now to flim that he
was but a guest in rho house enjoying
only each rights as any other guest
might possess, and with no voice in
the welcome—e condition which -would
never be altered, 'until he became in-
dependent himself -= a possibility
which at the moment was too remote
to be considered. Then his mind reg" ,
verted to 'his conversation the night
