! Hnmilton Mable, in Success.It is the use of the leisure hour that, equip

II a man to use wisely what the working hourft bring to him. The work Ing hour develops hi

character, If the principles are good, wbll' they increase his fortune, but they do noil give him broad views of life, knowledge am1 love of the best things. These are the giftand fruits of the leisure hours, for the leisurhours constitute a man's educational oppoitunities. No man who has a few hours «jverweek which can be used as he pleases sboulremain uneducated. Education Is not a malter ot schools, colleges and universities; therare valuable instruments ana uiuh iu duuch

tiou, but they are not so essential that tbman who canuot command their privilege

e needs remain uneducated. Some men arbelter educated out of college thau In It. Ahighly educated men, no matter bow llberntheir opportunities may have Deen, are welleducated. The school and the college teacmen bow to study and what tools to use, buwhen they have done with tbe school and th

saw the old man with his head bowe<£ and his bonnet in his hand. He cam

up and said to him after a bit : "

"Well, not exactly that," said tlir' old man, -'but I will tell you whatif was doing. Every morning for fortJ- years I have taken offmy bonnet her.t to ttie beauty of the world."

A man accompanied. by his wji should not dra;; licr iuto llie croi'® that liajiirs around the ofllce, as tv<1 thirds of them do. He should first ta*' her to the parlors, leave her there av-ih go to the office alone. When he ty registered and been assigned a roo

he should go and get her.When the boy has shown them 1

room, the guest should not hesitatej!| say so if he does not like It. There ii5- doubtless others empty, and It is t,'J clerk's place to try to please,i Another great blunder is not to a

there is no use complaining after ti bill is sent in and saying that he tJ] been overcharged, that he has bee there before and always had a lo^
