. He settled in St. Louis, but he was not a success as a lawyer> The profesâ€" sion was too slow for him. He was bursting with ambition and energy,and found it impossible to confine himself to the slow and tedious routine of a young lawyer‘s career. There was sueâ€" ‘cess ahead of him, but the young man. could not wait for it. He looked about for some manner of life in which he could bring all his suppressed energies into immediate play. He found it in journalism. Mr. Pulitzer became a reporter on the staff of the Westliche Post, of St. Louis, a German publication. â€" He imâ€" mediately threw all the energy there was in him into this work.. He astonâ€" ished other reporters of the town with the care and enterprise of his underâ€" takings, and soon made a name for himself in all the: newspaper offices of the city. _ One of his fellow newspaper menâ€"William Fayalâ€"while talking to a New York World reporter recentâ€" ly of Mr. Pulitzer‘s career as a reporter, said : In the course of a very short time Mr. Pulitzer passed the required examâ€" ination and became a member of that profession. This was in 1868â€"just four years since he had buckled on his cavalry sabre to march from Castle Garden to the battlefield. He had condensed a short lifetime in those four years of his chackered career. While this struggle for daily : existâ€" ence was going on, young Pulitzer was putting in every spare hour upon books, periodicals and newspapers. He plung ed into the study of thelaw. â€" While his brother workmen were passing their hours of rest in the saioons and disâ€" cussing the woes of the workingman in labor halls, this young soldier of forâ€" tune was preparing himself for a posâ€" sibly higher caveer. He was arming himself and tempering and sharpening his intellectual falchion for the future and greater battle of life. "He was quick, intelligent and enâ€" thusiastic ; but of all his qualibies!,he most notable was his determinatio to accomplish whatever he set out to do. T recall an incident which illustrates this characteristic. . He was at Jefferâ€" son City as the correspondent of the Woestliche Post. _ I represented the Republicationâ€"then, as now, a Demoâ€" cratic organ. One night there was a secret Democratic caucus, to which only representatives of the Democratic papers of the State were invited. Early in the session there was a noise fa_the corridor. Sudddenly the doors we roken open, the doorkeepers At the close of the war he went ‘West. He was not familiar enough with America and American ways yet to choose a career, and_ meantime he lived as best he might. _ He worked in the cavalry barracks for a time, and then became a farm hand. Then he hired out as a hand aboard a river steamboat. t The country was in the last throes of domestic war. The blue uniforms of soldiers, the tramp of armed men and the rumble of the artillery caisson and the baggageâ€"wagon were the first sights and sounds which greeted the young Hungarian â€" adventurer. He espoused the cause of the country he had so lately.come to, and became a soldiersof the Union. Without anything but a mere smattering of tlte language of those for whom he fought, without any very clear idea of the issues .at stake, he rode forth in a German cavalâ€" ry regiment and served until the war was ended. Mr. Pulitzer had not the advantage of wealth or influence in beginning his career. . He did not even share with other great and successful Americans of toâ€"day the advantage of American birth. _ When he came to this country it was as a poor and friendless Hungarâ€" ian boy who had found his native city of Budaâ€"Pesth too narrow _ a field_ for the great and undefined ambition which swelled within him. _ KHe was not even skilled in the language which he has since wielded so powerfully as a public teacher and a public leader. TIS EARLY CAREER. He was eighteen years oid when he landed at Castle Garden without a cent. â€" He knew no one, . and had no place to appeal for aid.. But he did not want aid. All he wanted was a chance to strike. He found it in the cause of American liberty. No paper, or, indeed, no corporate thing ever bore the stamp of its maker more indelibly impressed upon it than this great journal, and its marvelous success is merely the measure of that of its brilliant creator. It is impossible to speak of the World without speaxing of Mr. Pulitzâ€" er, just as it is impossible to consider Mr, Pulitzer and not the World. . The two are one. . Their careers. are so inâ€" tertwined, so practically identical, that the history of one is necessarily that of the other. How Joeeph Pulitzer‘s Marvelous Energy Turned Failure into Great Success. The amazing success of the New York World during the decade just elosed is due entirely to the energy, clearheadedness and forcible character of its editor\ and proprietor, Joseph Pulitzer. Real Leaders of Men, AS A REPORTER, "Atâ€"the end of each week the Postâ€" Dispatch had rendered some new public service. _ It inaugurated the movement which gave to the city a magnificent boulevard. _ It suggested and did more than any other one agency to build the great Exposition Building. It made a most effective exposure of the whiskey ring.. It broke the freight pool. It stopped bribery in the Legisâ€" lature. _ It closed gambling dens and dives. It obtained justice for the street car employes. It made Christâ€" mas merry by supplying gifts to thouâ€" sands of poor children. In short, it never lost an opportunity to perform a praiseworthy act." HE COMES To NEW YORK, But it was in New York that this brilliant man of fertile resource and gigantic energy attained the full measure of his success. Almost any newspaper man would have been satisâ€" fied with building up a great newspaper out of nothing in a few years, and would have remained in the Western town to enjoy the results of his tireless energy and almost unparalleled success. Friends tried to dissuade him, but he merely laughed at. them. There could be no failure for him. He felt that he had accomplished but a small part of what he was capable of, and he was not the man to rest satisfied with anything less than all he could attain. So he came to New York. The New York World had never made a striking success. It had been started in June, 1860, as a penny paper, with an evangelical flavor. It had no police reports, no scandals, no _ divorâ€" ces, not even dramatic news. It had a large backing, but it failed of money making. As the years passed its character changed. It became Demoâ€" cratic and a newspaper. In 1876 Williym H. Hulbert took it, representing a syndicate of capitalâ€" ists. â€" He made it an able and brilliant paper. He employed and : liberally paid the finest writers of the day. His editorial page equalled that of any in the land. But the World did_. not prosper. There was something lackine.. The The recent jubilee edition of the World gave Mr. Pulitzer‘s ideas in greater detail. Speaking of how the Postâ€"Dispatch attained successs the World s_z;ys "The Post and Dispatch will serve no party but the people ; will be no organ of Republicanism, but the organ of truth ; will follow no caucuses but its own convictions ; will not support the administration, but criticise it ; will oppose all frauds and shams wherâ€" ever and whatever they are ; will . adâ€" vocate principles and ideas rather than prejudices and partisanship." While all his friends were Javghing at him for buying such a piece of worse than worthless property, â€" Mr. Pulitzer suddenly and unexpectedly bought the Post also, and combined the papers in the Postâ€"Dispatch of toâ€"day. He seâ€" lected an able staff, with Colonel John Cockerill, one of the best allâ€"around newspaper men in the country, at the head of it, and let it go. And the Postâ€"Dispatch now goes to theâ€"tune of about $100,000 a year net profit. This shrewd man made his success in St. Louis as in New York later on by striking out in a new path. He abandoued the old and beaten ways of journalism. _ He threw over party bondages.. The very first number of his newspaper defined his policy. It was this : He then resolved to have a paper of his own, and in 1878 returned to St. Louis and bought the Evening Disâ€" patch. This was a local paper which had never paid a profit, and was reâ€" garded as utterly worthless. _ Mr. Pulitzer bought it for $2,500 } He was not satisfied to simply do his assigned duties, but was eager to write editorials and suggest plans for the management of the paper. He revelled in the study of American histâ€" _ory and politics, men, principles and _methods. _ While still a reporter he was a chief promoter of the influences which resulted in the combination of Democrats and Liberal Republicans which restored popular selfâ€"government to Missouri in 1872. He became city editor of the paper and acquired an interest in it. In 1874 he went abroad to complete an education which so far was chiefly of his own getting. *A SPECIAL, CORRESPONDENT. Mr. Pulitzer kept up his brilliant journalistic record after the close of the Hayesâ€"Tilden campaign as special correspondent of the New York Sun at Washington. _ He threw all his energy and political clearheadedness into the tangled affairs in the national capital, and achieved a success which made his name known all over the country. He was a frequent editorial\contributor to the Sun, and attained the unique disâ€" tinction of having his editorials in that paper signed with his name. went sprawling on the floor, and through the open casement calmly walked the correspondent of the Westâ€" liche Post. He stepped to the reportâ€" ers‘ table without a word, placed a pad of paper before him, took his seat without question or objection from the members, and the next day his was the only Republican paper in the State which contained a report of the caucus." This throws a side light upon Mr. Pulitzer‘s character as it has been exâ€" hibited in the more remarkable achieve ments of his later years. When he first came to the city he caused a list of the most brilliant newsâ€" paper writers in New York to be made out, and these he persistently followed with offers, until, as he_ recently said, he had obtained the services of all of them except one. The newspaper world of New York was given a decided sensation one night soon after Mr. Pulitzer had takâ€" Another quotation from Mr. Pulitzâ€" er‘s paper throws another light upon the genius of this man whose life had been spent in turning failure into success : "He was unable to expend large sums of money in the gathering of news, for the very excellent reason that he did not have it to spend. He did instil life and energy into every department of the paper on the very first day of his proprietorship ; and in no part was the change in the character of the matâ€" ter printed more noticeable than in the news columns. But it is a fact, patent to anyone who will turn over the files for that year, that the first impetus given to the new World came from the editorial page. To this Mr. Pulitzer gave his personal and almost undivided attention, and by this agency first imâ€" pressed upon the public mind the fact that a new, vigorous and potent moral force had sprung up in the community." LOOKED SHARPLY FOR MERIT. Mr. Pulitzer made no violent changâ€" es when he took hold_ of the World. He retained nearly all the old staff, and made changes only when he found them desirable to carry out the new ideas he had brought to this city. He was always indefatigable in his search for good reportorial and editorâ€" ial ability, and was always ready to pay high salaries to the men he wanted. His ideas were built on the broad plane, and the consideration of a few extra dollars never dimmed his clear view of the final object to be attained. From the start it was a question of hard work as well as shrewd manageâ€" ment. To take a nonpaying piece of newspaper property and turn it into a paying piece of property is often a more difficult task than starting wholâ€" ly anew, but the financial returns are usually greater. _ As has been demonsâ€" trated, Mr. Pulitzer‘s energy and ca pacity for hard work is his genius that carries him over the business pitfalls that would engulf other men. And they carried him safely over the journâ€" alistic quicksands in this darng New York venture. Hehad the knowledge of men that some men have by intuiâ€" tion. He had the faculty of imbuing every man on his staff with the same snap and industry that he himself possessed. _ He gave personal attention to the most minute details of the paper until it reached a paying basis. The new proprietor took . possession of his New York paper May 10, 1893, and the first igsue was stamped all over with the enthusiasm and alertness which, tempered by calm judgment and a broad view of men and things, has been the reason of his marvelous success in life. He made a newspaper of it, and in a short time made i6 felt in spite of the contempt of many. of his competitors. He was almost enâ€" tirely ignored for a time by some of his fellow editors, but the time soon came when he compelled all to consider him as one of the leading elements in the journalism of the country. } But Mr. Pulitzer undertook it calmâ€" ly and with the utmost confidence in ’his success., He had done even a greater thing n making a gold mine out of two i\orthless papers in St. Louis. He could repeat his success on a vastly larger scale in New York. In his own paper lately there apâ€" peared a paragraph which shows the calm confidence of the man and the reason for it. Here it is : "To obtain possession of the World he (Mr. Pulitzâ€" er) was obliged to invest nearly his enâ€" tire fortune, leaving a comparatively small margin for expenditure in buildâ€" ing up the property. â€" In view of the great success he had made of the St. Louis Postâ€"Dispatch he could undoubtâ€" edly have borrowed whatever amount of money he might have deemed neeâ€" cessary to assure the success . of his undertaking. _ But such a course was both opposed to his own theory of maintaining perfect independence and contrary to his custom. Although comâ€" pelled to begin his journalistic career without a dollar of capital or a single influential friend he had made his way thus far without incurring the slightest obligation to any human_ being. The Postâ€"Dispatch was the product of his own untiring mind and zealous , indusâ€" try, and nothing else. _ He determined to adhere strictly to the same principle. in building up the World, and has done so without the slightest deviation to this day. ‘ spirit of enterprise was not in it. It sank into a lamentable financial conâ€" dition. It was known that it could be purchased for little or nothing, but nobody wanted it. To buy it was to sink money in a hopeless speculation. So at least thought everybody but Joseph Pulitzer. BUILDING UP THE woTLD. Mr. Pulitzer bought the World. The venture was regarded by friends | and enemies alike as foolhardy. Asa fact it was a stupendous task to infuse new blood in the shrivelled veins of this paper. It was a task which might well have appalled. HARD WORK BROUGHT SUCCESS Waterloo County Chronicle.

There is a cheap restaurant in a Park Row basement where one Oliver Hichcock has from time immemorial dispensed corn beef, baked beans and coffee at ten cents a dish. At that time it was the only allâ€"night restaurant in the neighborhood, and was frequented by printers and reporters, whose duties necessitated late eating. _ Mr. Pulitzer was kept at work until after midnight, and being hungry descended Hitchâ€" cock‘s steps and ate his dime‘s worth of this cheap food at an untidy table opposite a bareâ€"armed printer. â€"This throws still another light the character of this remarkable LEMONS IN SUMMER Uptill man.

I‘d like to see the Missoury jury that‘d fine a woman for not leavin‘ her soap bilin‘ when it was at a critical p‘int, as one might say. Tell the Jedge I‘ll come toâ€"morâ€" row, if we don‘t butcher our peegs then; A Missouri constable rode out to a farm near St. Joo armed with a subâ€" peeoa for a woman who was wanted as a witness in a case in court. He found her in her back yard busily engaged in stirring & boiling, babbling mass, in a large black kettle. He stated his business, and she said : "I can‘t go toâ€" day."â€""But you must,"â€"‘"What‘s the hurry ?"â€""Why, court‘s in session and the case is now on trial. They want you by noon:"â€""Weli, I ain‘t going. You think I‘m going off and leave this hull kittle o‘ saft soap to spile, just to please your old court ?" Let the Sunday mea‘s be regular, but lighter than those of other days, and Sunday headachess will be happily conspicious by their absence. It is true that aâ€"person should have all the sleep nature demands ; but he should have that every night in the week, not keep running behind for six nights and then »ttempt to make it up on the seventh. Moreover if one wishes to secure extra sleep, it should be se cured by retiring earlierâ€"not by sleepâ€" ing later, which can hardly fail to dis turb in some way the whole day followâ€" ing. In the case of children such a pracâ€" tice is particularly bharmful, because these little people cannot wait the long period between a nine o‘clock breakâ€" fast and a threeâ€"o‘clock dinner, and so a lunch is usually demanded and obâ€" tained. Then before bedâ€"time hunger again steals over the small person and another lanch is called for, and few parents have the heart to send their children to bed bungry ! The person who is running a dairy for profit is particular to feed his cows at just such a time each day‘ for he has discoverâ€" ed that only in this way can nature be expected to do its best. There would appear to be no reason why he and others sbould not apply the â€" same sound reasoning to the bygiene of their own families. Sunday meals should vary but slightâ€" ly, if at all, from the time these meals occur on week »days, while prudence and good sense dictates that the Sunâ€" day meals should be of lighter nature than those of other days, as less of phyâ€" sicial or mental labor is employed upon the seventh day of the week. Nature is most orderly in all its dealings with men and women, and when men and women are wise they strive to act in an orderly manner toward nature. When meals are taken at a certain hour for six days it is natural for nature to expect to be supplied at the same hour , or hours, on the sevenâ€" th day, and to rebel if her expectations are slighted. But this also is not all. Not only is the system compelled to wait long beâ€" yond the accustomed meal time, but it is then overburdened not only in quanâ€" tity but in the kind of food that is commonly found at Sunday meals. It seems to ke thought that as but two meals are to be eaten, something unâ€" usually hearty should be provided, and so we find a common use made, especialâ€" ly in the Eastern States, of brown bread and beansâ€"the heartiest in the whole category of foods. Just why people should be so insane as to burden their stomachs with such food on the one occasion of the week when they refrain largely from physicial labâ€" or, does not appear, but certain it is that this idea prevails almost univerâ€" sally, and if it is not brown bread and beans it is some other hearty food in great abundance that graces the Sunâ€" day breakfast and dinner tables, and when the family surrounds the tab‘e each member usually has the bigpest kind of an appetite concealed about his or her person that has to be satisfied before the meal is over, and a lethargic headache very commonly follows. 1t is a common practice to rise later on this day than any of the others, and part‘y for this reason perhaps, and partly because of a desire to save some Iwbor, it has become a custom in many families to have but two meals on Sunâ€" day, which in itself entirely disarrangâ€" es nature‘s orderly habits ; but this is not al!, for not only is the stomach disâ€" appointed in the matter of its accusâ€" tomed nourishment, but a person beâ€" comes so hungry when that nourishâ€" ment finally appears that very much more food than usual is consumedâ€" and the same is true of the late Sunday dinner. There is a certain kind of illness of so pronounced a type that it can a!most be styl«d a distinct malady in itseifâ€"a kind of Sunday headache and a generâ€" ally stupid feeling that has come to be very firmly associated with the Sabbath day. Some part of this Iutter feeling is, no douht, due to the physical relaxâ€" ation from the active duties of the week, tut more of all this uncomfortable Sunâ€" day feeling is due, I am convinced, to unressonable tab‘e conditions on this day of rest. SUNDAY MEALS Soap vs. Law. Not long since a bride and groom from the btate of Michigan were visitâ€" ing Washington, D. C., as is the custom of young people in the honeymoonatic condition. Just where they came from cannot be stated, as a Saginaw man residing at the national capital says they were from Bay City, and a Bay City man in one of the departments says they were from Saginaw says the Detroit Free Press. She smiled at the cabby, until he thought spring had come with a face full of sunshine. ‘Of course he is.‘ she replied ; and clutching his arm convulsively she exclaimed : ‘Oh, George, isn‘t it lovely to be so handsome that even the men in the street pay tribute to your beauty. And you are my husband, too ! Oh, George, and George thought it was all right and hadn‘t a word to say. _ _‘"What does the Jedge care about your soap !‘â€""Well, what do I care ‘bout the Jedge, if it comes to that?

In any event they were in Waskingâ€" ton, and the young bride thought her busband was the loveliest man that ever did live ; and, as nobody told her he wasn‘t, he must have been. One night they went to the theatre within two blocks of their hotel, and, as she clung to him and gazed up into his goodâ€"looking face as they came out, the cabmen along the curb caught on and began calling their cabs.
