How To Get On In The World.

4 bit Of advice to young men who are
trying to get ahead: Never complain that
your employers are selfish. Not that
they are otherwise, but it will help mat
ters to growl about it. They are selfish.
Their employers, when they we're young,
were no doubt selfish and from them thew
learned the lesson. You, too, learn it,
and when you become employers you'll
be selfish too. It is from selfish motives
that men engaged in trade, and selfish
ness rules their actions. Of course it
would be better, and wiser, and all that.

what are you going to do about it? WIN.
make it for their selfish interest to do
better by you, and they will. Respect
yourselves and you'll make them respect
you. Reminder that you are at a dis
advantage, that there are hundred
ready to climb into your place if you
do not fill it, and that those who en-
ploy you are fully aware of the fact
and ready to make the most they can out
of it. Remember that if you are

urge haste, as he may be behind time; but,

1t Is Not an Improbable Occupation.
Galveston (Texas) News - ..
The robbing of stages and mails beyond
Fort Worth had become amusingly monot-
onous, if such state of mind is possible,
when slight shock was given to the monot-
ony by the recent casual shooting of one of
the highwaymen in an unofficial interference
with the regular order of amusements in
Robbers Hollow. Doubtless the man Ross
who fired the fatal shot will apologize to the
State and federal authorities for his violent
intrusion upon the scene, and serene
impunity for stage and mail rifing, inter
rupted without their agency or sanction, will
soon be re-established on the road to Fort
Yuma. Doubtless, judging from the past,
it is safe to assume that the stages and their
contents, including passengers, will continue
to be systematically robbed. or course. on
each repetition of the performance there is a
new set of passengers, new and deeply
interested audience, SO to speak, but the
programme and the actors in these popular
open air theatrical entertainments appear
to undergo little or no change. However,
it is early in the season yet. and possibly the
managers and the scenic artists NAV have
some novelty in store. Meanwhile, let us
glance at a skeleton of the performance which
has 80 long been on the boards, or rather on
the wayside and the road, for q run of ap-
parently unlimited duration.
At the usual hour the.stage reaches Rob-
bers Hollow, twelve miles west of Fort
Worth. The two we'll known villains in the
play rush from behind their favorite old
bush, down the we'll beaten path, to the spot
where the robbery is to take place. They do
not need to shake their pistols sternly at the
stage-drvier to secure his attention, for the
horses, intelligent brutes, stop of their own
accord, as does the propelling power at
tached to milk-wagon in front of q house
of a regular customer. The driver seems to
regard the subsequent proceedings in the
light of business transaction between
the robbers and the excursionists in the
stage, in which it would be indicate
for him to intrude without special invita-
ton. AS soon as they can do so with eafetv! |
