BIZ NY1S ADVICE 70
4, YOUNG; N.EN.

YOON(v AEN.
oun5 man. what are you living
forl Have you an object dear to you
Is Ife and without the attainment O.!
whfh you feel that your life will have
been wide, shoreless waste of shadow,
p=opled by the specters of dead ambl-
t'onl You can take your choice in
the great battle OF life, whether you
viii bristie up and win 4 deathless
a.fe and owe almost everybody, Or
be ztisGed with scabs and mediocrlty,
Many Of those who now stand At the
head Of the nation as statesmen and
logicians were only unknown, union
ored and unsung. Now they saw the
air in the halls of Congress, and their
names are plastered on the temple of
fame.
You can win some laurels, too, if
you will brace up and secure them
when they are ripe. Daniel Webster
and President Garfield and DR.. Tan
ner and George Elliot were all, at
one time, poor boys. They had to
start at the foot OF the ladder and toll
upward. They struggled against
poverty and public opinion bravely
on till they won aname in the annals
Of history, and secured to their loved
ones palatial homes, with lightning
rods and mortgages on them. So
may you, if you will make the effort.
All these things are within your reach.
Live temperately, on 50 per month.
That's the way we got our start. Burn
the midnight oil if necessary. Get
some true, undetermined young lady
to assist you. Tell her ofyour troubles
and she will tell you what to do. She
will gladly advise you. Then you
can marry her, and she will advise
you some more. After that she will
lay aside her work any time to advise
you. You needn't be out of advice
at all unless you want to. She, too,
will tell you when you have made a
mistake. She will come to you frankly
and acknowledge that you have made
jackass of yourself. AS she gets more
acquainted with you she will be more
candid with you, and, in her unstudied
girlish way, she will point out your
errors, and gradually convince you,
with an old chair-leg and other argu-
ments, that you we're wrong, and your
past LIE Will come up before you like
panorama, and you will tell her so,
and she will let you up again. Life
is indeed a mighty struggle. 1t is
business. We can't all be editors,
and lounge around all the time and
wear good clothes and have our names
in the papers and draw princely
salary. Some one must do the work
and drudgery of life, or it won't be
done.

The other night young man from

from the southern part of the state
met at hotel in Memphis and were

young man went out and sat in front
of the hotel while his wife went up to

There is more truth tran poetry in
the following from the Beaver Tines:
Ask some men for an advertisement
or some locals, they answer they do
not believe in advertising-a paper is
never read. Let that man be caught
kissing his neighbor's wife, or trying
to hold up the side ofa building some
dark night, and his tune Changes
instantly, and if the printing Office is
in the sarret of a seventeen story
building, he will climb to the top to
beg the editor to keep qulct-don't
publish it in the paper you know

provided bstter safeguards-ve might
say some safeguards-for the protec-
ton Of investors there must be de-
vised some system by which officers
and directors Of mining companies
will not so readily be made the tools
by which scamps can outrageously
hoedwink and rob the public. The
very fact that the investment of money
in mining properties is attended with
more risk, even though the possible
profits be greater, than that which at
tends investment IN railroad property
renders it the more necessary that
means 6e devised to keep that risk a,
its minimum. There recently have
been several unhappy instances of fhow
all bank directors do not d,rect. and
all bank examiners do not examine.
Their effect has not been to strengthen
other financial interests which are
sadly in need Of public confidence.
But unless mining management can
be made more effective for the work
which it is designed, the days Of spec
ulation or investment in mining stocks
are numbered, and they will be re-
membered only as scandal to the
land and stencil in the nostrlls OF
honest people-Ex.

EDUCATING THE INDIANS

A delegation, with the Joint com
Enitteer of both houses of Congress,
consisting of Senators.Hoar, Dawes,
Ingalls,, Harrison andWifliams, and
representatives Hooker, Decring,
Rice, palding and Blanchard, have
Just returned from visit to the Car
Isle Indian school, where they went
at the, invitation of the superintcn-
dent Of the institution. Secretary
Teller'was to have gone but missed
The train. Congressman Spalding.
in relation to the trip, said: we
came back greatly satisfied as to the
management Of the school. We
went there morcl especially at the
invitation of Capti Pratt the super
intendent, to see what had been
done and to learn what is promised
FOR the future, and / think
that if the education of the Indian
children is carried out us contem-
piatedby Capt. Pratt, it will solve
the Indian problem. IF YOU once
get them away from wild life and
teach them what civilization means.
while some of them go back to wild
life, others go back as teachers,
blacksmiths and tinsniths, and the
result is the latter want their chill
dren educated. Those at Carlisle

EASTERN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.

In the various discussions, pro and
>Dn, concerning the advisability Of
educating Indian children at indus
trial schools at n distance from their
dome reservation few facts seem to
be generally overlooked. In the
irst place every child sent to Car
Isle or to Hampton is a hostage for
the good behavior and non-combat-
iyencss Of dozen able-bodicd rea-
tivcs and it has proved a fact which
can not ibe disputed that the sending
Of n,nnbernof children to eastern
industrial schools is virtual dis
rming of the tribe. In the next
1lacc every educated Indian who
returns to his reservation has an in
ifuencc for good, which is not un-
derstood by eastern people, but is
appreciated fully by those in con-
slant contact with the Indians.
Even if one of these Indians returns
90 his former life he soon finds his
former habits irksome and unnatur-
nd to him, and soon returns to the
white mans road" each time with
renewed energy, until he finally
sticksS. But probably the strongest
argunssnt in favor Of eastern schools
is the great disadvantage the teach
ers at Agency schools labor under,
on account of the evil influence of
camp life, from which it is nearly
impossible to protect the scholars.
II theeIndians become dissatisfied
from any cause, about their first
move is to want to got their children
oalt of school. 1t is Q&IeH,fff III i I laGSi5icct
tta great deal of ANNOYANCE and
rialcNSe from their camp relatives
and companions, and are thus sub
jsct to an influence not easily coun-
teracted by their teachers. Thus it
will be- seen that while the majority
ofthe children must be educated at
home yet the influence of the east
srn industrial schools is plainly felt:
md IS power in the cause of cdu-
CATION.

for ponies is greatly increased this
