MILLIONAIRE'S MAXIMS. THE FRUIT OF EXPERIENCE. There visited London recently a man of 74 years of age, who said that, although ho started business without a penny of capital, and is now a millionaire several times over, he has never had to harbour a worry. Ho is Mr. Theodore Gary, of Kansas City, tho head of a group of independent American telephone companies, chairman and almost owner of a banking trust, and chairman of the Missouri Highways Corporation. For tho first timo in his life, Mr. Gary was taking a holiday—" just for a new experience. It has been a somewhat fiat experience," ho said. In his pockot memorandum book, Mr. Gary has jotted down maxims ho has evolved from experience. These are some of them, which ho thinks will take anyono through whut ho culls tho volley of tho shadow of succoss Determine to be prosperous. Be patient and tho world is yours. Hold your temper and your tongue. When you havo found that honesty and ability havo met in a man you can generally trust him. It is not enough to bo truthful; it is essential, especially in business matters, to know what the truth is. I ell the truth to those entitled to know; to others tell nothing. Stretch, stretch, stretch—morning, afternoon, evening and night. Never allow yourself to think cr act as if you were in a hurry. Bo content, but not satisfied. Be particular, but not critical. Most of tho things we think we know aro wrong.
