the glass and drew it full OF beer, but with the
least margin OF froth, when the Old gentleman,
Selling his hand, said:-''You make dose glass IS

Why Is Il!

Notice was taken In recent issue OF this
paper or the experience OF large shoe manu-
facturer OF this state, who advertised in Boston
and New York for twenty-five shoe filters to
work In his factory, Offering full current rates
and steady work. The advertisement brought
one application.
About the same time Boston firm advertised
for bookkeeper, and the next days mail
brought 347 answers.
During the same month an advertisement for
clerk In Detroit paper brought 1870 applca-
tons the first day and greater number OF let
tiers and personal applications the next day.
An advertisement for week in the same city
calling for good carpenter, brought only four
replies.
It is altogether probable that in any consider
able city In the land an advertisement for
bookkeeper or retail clerk win bring titty times
as many replies as an advertisement for fair
workman In any trade.
1t Is also probable that In any and every city
the average earnings OF clerks are nowhere near
60 large as the earnings OF workmea OF average
Skill In the various trades.
Further, it is fairly certain that, with equal
capacity, industry and thrift, the young man
who learns any trade win achieve reasonable
competence sooner than the young man who
sticks to clerking: while the chances for mate
rally improving ones condition are more nu-
merous In the trades than behind the counter
or at the desk.
why is It, then, that the boys all want to be
clerks? Why is 1t, that intelligent parents en-
courage them In looking for a chance to ''get
into business" and In looking down on me-
SnduiCai eiupAoS AcutS-dS tuOuSQ Inere could
be any calling more wretchedly mechanical
than average clerk1ng? Why Is II that teach
ers almost invariably train their pupils to
''look above" mechanical pursuits?
What the country nov wants Is workmen-
Intelligent, industrious, thrifty workmen; men
who can do sk1lfully the work that waits for
the doing-who can invent new means and
better processes for developing the crude re-
sources OF the land, and for converting crude
matter into life sustaining and life-enrichiny
wealth. Mere clerks and record keepers are at
discount. There are too many OF them. And
the professions, SO called, are almost equally
crowded with men who have nothing to do.
There never was time when ability to do
something real and practical was worth so
much as now. Yet our young men swarm after
