That St. Louis is the greatest hardware market in the world was proven by the large and varied number of exhibitors at the thirteenth annual convention of the Missouri Retail Hardware Association at the Southern Hotel last week. There er forty-two companies represented, showing practically everything in the hardware line. Souvenirs of all kinds, saws, trays. buttons, miniature washboards and lanterns, and even carnations were given away to the retailers.

Nearly all the St. Louis companies had booths and had automobiles at the Hotel, waiting to take prospective buyers out to their plants. These all 'I Jill 1 1 i ItWmn' fflil i 4fPi iuf fef 444 "ll MSmmMtm iA mimiA''-- if -J reported a fairly good business done during the convention. R. L.

"I then purchased a larger camera and began to work the Chautauqua assemblies in my vacation, making good money every summer. I did my own developing and printing and read everything I could find on the subject or photography.

My first definite aim was individuality, something to which J. always have adhered, and which is partly responsible for my success. "Before I learned the possibilities of my profession, I lost many opportunities. For Instance, I happened to be in Jacksonville, at the time of th great fire In 1900. Because of my inexperience I was unable to market my pictures, but publishers who saw them afterward said they were the best made at that fire.

I did $200 worth of work there, but failed to sell it because I did not know how. "My first work as a newspaper photographer was done in Buffalo, r. jc.

The play is the story of a man of great wealth, who owns tenements in New York and who does little to aid his tenants. The "kicks" and grumblings of the poor people reach his ears.

He hears nothing of the squalor and hunger of the East Side block, which brings him in rents. At length, angry with those who have taken him to task, lie takes an assumed name, lays aside everything but the clothes on his back and descends into the tenements, bent on teaching the "kickers" a good lesson.

This done, he got a job as a common baker, earned enough to start a shop, took on help and in six months he had a monopoly on the bread of the neighborhood and those who had been loudest in crying out against him clamored to be allowed on his enterprise. He demonstrated the fact that effort will win a man success no matter what conditions he may work under. Too many are the cases of men of wealth who grind down the poor, but there is another side to the question. Making the best of conditions have "made" many men.

SIGHT SCHOOLS TIR1XG. Night schools are a blessing to those who can afford nothing better, but it is an exceptional boy or man worth his salt at his day's labor who is not too exhausted at night to give his best efforts to learning. This new: plan puts the schooling where it belong in the day time and in close co-ordination with the day work. The fact that the employer plans to make the shopwork instructional by moving the apprentice systematically and gradually from one" machine and one operation to another, makes schooling doubly effective. The pupil can earn wages while going to school.

Certain provisions in the contract with the members of the Metal Trades Association are noteworthy. The first of these is that the course shall not be limited to employes of members of the association; the second, that all students must be acceptable to the superintendent of the school from the standpoint of character and ability to learn; third, that no student apprentice connected with the school shall be employed to take the place of a workman on strike. These three provisions are significant of the attitude of the school. It enters, first, into nc with one party that in V3 ITHE WINKLE TERRA COTTA GO, Genuine Imported Spaghetti From Italy.
