The World Wants Determined Men and W omen. There was a woman who found herself at 50 years of age a widow with a family of half grown children. Aud no income. Sh j had alwavs written little stories to entertain her children, and so she set about Irving to write better stones to amuse and entertain the public. The fact that she had lived almost a half century did not discourage her. Because of this fact, she

believed she had a wider understanding or numan , nature, and of herself, in the face of innumerable j discouragements, she persevered; and before many ( months she had sold her first manuscript. Since then she has become a woman of wealth, and her lxoks are always among the best sellers of the season. This woman possessed talent; sha could never have succeeded had not this strata of talent been in her mind, on which to build the structure she rearcjl by unremitting labor. But hundreds of women equally talented would have looked to relatives or charity organizations for assistance, saying they were "too old" to begin a new career. A man died a few years ago and left a fortune to be divided among his children. Besides the fortune he left a well established and successful business. At 50 this man had been bankrupt. But he began at the bottom of the ladder once more, and although of delicate physique and not over strong, he climbed far above the middle of that ladder before he reached the age of 60. He wasted no time in regretting any of his past mistakes. . t , , He simply used them as stepping stones to future successes. . . He knew the things to avoid doing. It has become the fashion of the day to say that the world does not want mature men and women in business. . , The world wants any man in any position where he can prove himself a power. The world wants vital, lorcefu1, acti, determined men and women. If you have allowed yourself to grow old-fashioned in your ideas and phlegmatic and dull, if you have lot your interest in life and are seeking a way to go through the world mechanically and make a mere living then do not wonder that you are not wanted when you seek a position or attempt to find a place in the busy world. f Many time we hear people sav, "I ask so little ot life, it seems as if that little might be granted. But the man who asks little, usually puts little effort into obtaining it; while the man who asks much, tries much to obtain his wishes. 1 1 is what you feel and think that counts, i Whatever youjdesire, if it is based on common 1 sense, and is penitently and fervently sought, you can obtain.

The Old Maids' Club. Mollie put on her hat, looked at herself in the mirror, then slowly drew out the silver pins and laid the hat on the 'dressing table. "Mollie B.," she sam severely, "you are a vain goose, Miriam said not to wear that hat again if you were in earnest about wanting to be an old maid, and here you are putting it on and prinking as hard as ever: I'm ashamed of you." She picked up the offending hat, gave it a little shake, and then put it on her curly head at a ditterent angle and gazed at herself once more. 'It'saverv becoming hat," she sighed. And the last time"l wore it Tom said-" and no one but herself and Tom will ever know just what he did s v """'it's raining," she went on, presently, "and I won't meet a soul and I'm just going to 'wear it no matter what Miriam says. She Tikes stiff shirt waists and plain hats and she doesn't knov what a temptation it is to wear pretty, fluffy things. Now Mollie B, had just joined the Old maids club, and had faithfully promised to discourage the: arch enemy, man-especially one particular man who answered to the name of "Tom." Nature had not intended that Mollie should be an old maid and had fashioned her in tenderest curves and softest lines and made her altogeth r a most desirable young person. . But Miriam had said that it was noble and independent to be an old maid, and that all men are unworthy; and Miriam, being stronger of will than

little Mollie, had won tne day.

An aged colored man was engaged in burning the crass off the lawn of a young broker when the latter returned 'to his home and, thinking to have some fun with the old man, said: "Sambo, if you burn that grass, the entire lawn will be as black as you are.

Today the ram was on her nerves and she was rebellious. - . For three weeks many imploring notes signed "Tom" had remained unanswered.

Now, for four days there had been no notes and no violets. , , , , ,. , , Mollie told herself bravely tha'; she did not care, that she was glad Tom was taking it sensibly; but the pink of Mollie's cheeks was growingiainter and the blue eyes held a wistful question m trieir depths.

"Here's to the downfall of the Old Maids' club," said Tom, shaking the raindrops off the umbrella. m Then he kissed Mollie right before the scandalized Father Squirrel, who had hopped back, honing those foolish human beings would remember their dty and scatter a few nuts for him to glean. "It must have been that hat that made us act so foolishly, ' ' said Mollie B. hypocritically. "That must have been it," said Tom, and then he

kissed her again.

Visitors Will Provide Themselves With Coins to Open Turnstiles at the Gates.

The coin system of paying admissions to the Indiana State Fair is to be tried for tho first time the week of Sept. I. it is to be tried to tho end of makitiB It moro convenient for visitors to get within the gates and avoid the usual crowds which flock about tho ticket windows. It is thought that every person in Indiana knows nhat the athnisslou fee for an adult to tho Fair is fifty cents, and for a boy or girl undor twelvo years tho price is 25 cents. Heretofore it has been the practice for the street cars to unload thousands of people at tho Fair gates, followed by a rush for the ticket windows. It Is now the purpose of the fair management to do away with this inconvenience to visitors by asking each person to provide himself with tho exnet change. A man or woman is asked to leave home for tho Fair with a fifty cent piece to pay the gate admission, but instead of buying a ticHet at the Fair, the visitor wUl proceed from the street car to tho gate and deposit the coin In the turnstile. These mechanical devices will register, or count, coins as readily as tliey will receive and count tickets, and the visitor will avoid the rush for ticket. All of tho admission gates around the Fair grounds are provided with turnstiles aud the coin system will ho tried at all of them. Tho coin system will be followed at the race track grandstand. Where a visitor arrives at tho gates without the exact change, money changers will be on duty to supply them. The coin system will he so generally followed by visitors that tho selling of tickets will be entirely dono away with, not only for the convenience of visitors, but it will do awsy with the counting of tickots, which requires all tho time of a clerical force while the Fair fs In progress. Cured by Funny Stories. Having vainly tried many and various remedies to restore to health a business man whom I know and tvho had fallen iato a morbid condition owing to years of overwork,

a famous Baltimore physician at last persuaded his patient to take a course of fnnny stories, one at each meal, with "an extra two at dinner. The patient, a solemn and gloomy fellow, at first rebelled, but. finally falling in with the idea, adopted the course recommended and was in the end restored to health, the effect of laughter bein entirely to change his mental and bodilv condition. Laughter, in fact, is one of the cheapest and most effective of medicines, breaking up stagnation of mind and body and sending a healthy vibration, through one's system. There is very little the matter with the man who can enjoy a hearty laugh. Xashvilio TcnnesEeeaii Whn Ohio Failed.

In the midst of C. B. Galbreath'i lecture on "Lafayette" tho .other night at the Young Men's Christian association he spent quite a little time on the incident of tho princely sum of $140,000 which he brought with him to this country and gave to congress. "When Lafayette returned to tho United States about forty-two years later congress voted him $200,000 in return for the ?140,000 which ho gave to us in that time of 'great need. When the vote was taken every state in the Union voted for it with let ii3 mention it softly tbo exception of Ohio." Columbus Dispatch. fhr- I'merfmlre Uooater and tl Proverb.
