"The paper handkerchief comes to us from Japan, where for centuries it has been In use. It Is soft and thick and strong, and It looks liko silk. It costs a cent less than tho cost of laundering a linen handkerchief. "The linen handkerchief, physlclaus agree, Is the most dangerous article In the human wardrobe.

Instead of being laundered, It should be destroyed. Put It can't bo destroyed; It Is too expensive. "Tbo paper handkerchief Is destroy ed. It Is thrown Into the Arc.

Trumbowcr PERSONAL FAILURE. People Who Are Alwnya Driving Snea cess Away From Them, Ono of tho strangest paradoxes In human naturo Is that men and women struggling, apparently with all their might, to succeed are yet constantly doing things, saying things and think ing things which drive the very success they nro after away from them. They arc all the time counteracting their efforts by some foolishness or weakness or Indiscretion. They nro saying tilings which prejudice people against thorn and doing things which destroy confidence. Although they apparently try very hard to build a foundation, they are all tho tluio undermining themselves.

Men work like Trojans to get a cov eted position and then, by getting puffed up with conceit or by some foolish or weak act, knock the scaffolding, which they bare beeu years In build ing, oat from under them, and down they go. Their lives arc a series of successive climbs and tumbles, so that they never get anywhere, never accomplish anything worth while. Always tripping themselves up, neutralizing their work this Is their greatest stumbling block. I know a powerful editorial writer who wields a strong, vigorous pen, hut who at sixty years of ago. Is Just wliero ho was at twenty.

He has had scores of good positions, but he could not keep them because of his Indiscretions, because cf a hot temper and a sensitive nature which was always being wounded by trifles. Thero Is no harder worker than ho Is. Every time bo gets knocked down he begins at tho bottom and starts planning and re cllmblng, only to fall back ngnln liko the fabled frog trying to get out of the well. Now, If this man had taken an Inventory of himself In bis youth and Strengthened two or three little weak points, ho would hare ltecn a giant lu tho field of letters. There arc thiisnnds of men who are working ns clerks or In very ordinary salaried positions who might have lieea employers or pioprletors themselves but for some unfortunnto weakness, some little deficiency In their natures or some peculiaritysomething which might have been remedied by a little discipline and self study In youth.

It Is not an unusual thing to see a man In some subordinate situation who but tor one of these little lacks would have been a bolder man than bis employer. And so he has to submit to the humiliation of plodding through life In a me diocre position when be feels conscious that be has superior ability to thoso who are over blm. It is tragic to see thousands of peo ple constantly pushing away from themselves through life (be very suc cess they arc trying to achieve, push ing tt awuy because they do not "oti trol A hot temper, becauso of some little Indiscretion or other weakness or lack In their nnturc. Others arc always driving success away from them by their doubts, their fears, their lack of courage, their lack of confidence; driving It nwny by thought habits which repel success con ditions. They never tnnko themselves magnets to attract success, but keep so many enemies of achievement In their nilud that thero Is no homo for harmony there, no place for a strong purM)se.

They hold the failure thought, tho doubt thought, tho poverty thought, Instead of clinging to tho success thought, the thought of abundance, until they attract achievement and plenty.

Loais National Man ager as a Trader Is a IFonder, Only One Player of Original Team on Regit' Jar Payroll. As a trader In that greatest commodity, flesh and blood patterned Into a banchntl, player, all must tnko off their chtipeaux to John J. McCloskey of the St. Louis Cardinal (National league) toam. This man, went to St.

Louis late In tho winter, after nil tho other teams of the two big leagues had their pick of tho tiilont from tho minor 'leagues aud after all apparent profltnblo trades had boon completed. When everything appeared ns though Stanley Uoblson would havo to man ago tho team himself McCIaskcy accepted his terms aud reported ready for work. A Httlo heart Jo heart talk with tho owners Af. tho club resulted In perfect understanding, nnd tho now manager started to make himself familiar with the conditions which kept St. Louis a tall end proposition for such a loug time.

Today there remains on tho regular payroll but ono of the old team Mike Orndy, a catcher. Tho others nro anywhere and everywhere, but McCloskey has a harmonious group of baseball players who aro taking the best caro of themselves. Hits he has accomplished In the middle of the season. It Is a feat never even attempted by any other manager. While the Cardinals havo not held a high position lu the race, they look far stronger than when tho season opened.

and this from the standpoint of team work nnd Inside baseball. McCIoskey's ilrst trade was to get rid of Jimmy Iturkc. The turbulent one was shipped to Kausns City as a ter rible example. Then be got a sterling young left bander, Druhor, from Cincinnati. He 1.

ll'CLOBKXr. next moved on to Pittsburg nnd landed Karger. lit exchange for Knrger ho gave McFarlnnd, who was released by Pittsburg. McCloskey landed nn ex celleut twlrler, gnvo away a man who Is not of major league caliber nnd came out far ahead. Ho next stacked up against Chicago.

lie gnve Pitcher Jack Tnylor, wb! has always been a hard Cian to handle, lu exchange for Pitcher Ileeho nnd First Baseman Noonau and a large bunch of cash as a bonus. Taylor Is a great pitcher, one of the best In the country, while DocIni Is only a youngster. But this youngster has more tbau made good. Ho bas won enough games this year to place him In the list of the five leading pitchers of the National league. Noonnn Is a fair ball player.

McCloskey, on the work of the men since this trade, far outgeneraled Chance. McOraw of tho champion New York Giants was his next victim. The all wlso John J. fell for a trndo which Is still a sensation. Ho sent Out Udder Merles and Catcher Marshall and a large cheek to St.

Louis lu exchange for Shannon, who was never a star. Mertes has showed up better In every department than Shannon. Marshall Is one of the best catchers In tho business, nnd as a pinch hitter he has few equals. He can also play a good game In the outfield or on first base. McCloskey bas released McUrlde, his great fielding shortstop, on account of weak hitting and bas taken a youngster from Texas, Crawfonl by name, to All the place.

Crawford was tbt star of the first game he played, and, while he cannot be expected to Uerp up tbo pace bo set there, bo la looked upon ns a comer by MeClonkcy. Uo has broken In a' pitcher, Hostetter, as a utility man, and In this role the player is equal to any In the big leagues. He nailed down Bennett, from the coast and a former Southern league tar, as second baseman. Bennett In one of the most reliable men In the lenguo and has fulfilled cxpcctatloM In every way.
