DON'T BE AFRAID OF WORK.

Don't be afraid of killing yourself
with overwork, son, Is the facetious way
the Burlington Haaokeye has of counsel
ing young men to thrift. Men seldom
work so hard as that on the sunny side
of thirty. They die sometimes; but it
is because they quit work at 6 p. m. and
don't get home until 2 a. m. It's the in
terYals that kill, my son. The work
gives you an appetite for your meals; it
lends sslidity to your slumber; it gives
you a perfect and grateful appreciation
of holiday. There are young men who
do not work, my son--yOung men who
make living by sucking the end of
cane, and who can tie necktie in elev-
en- different knots, and never lay a wrin-
kle in it; who can spend mere money in
a day than you can earn in a month, sen;
and who will go to the sberiff's to buy
a postal card, and apply at the office of
the street commissioner for marriage
license. So find out what you want to
be and to do, son, and take off your coat
and make success in the wsrld, The
buster you are, the less evil you will be
apt to get into, the sweeter will be your
sleep, the brighter and happier your
holiday, and the better satisfied will the
world be with you, my son.

Considerable difficulty was expert
enced by the wOrkmen one day last
week At Biggs's saw mill while engaged
in saving a large oak log. The saw, in
passing through the log once, became
SO clogged that it was necessary to split
the log in order TO unlOose it. Upon
doing so, the workmen were surprised
to find n cavity in the cCnter of
the log containing more than a peck
of large hickory nuts The log was
perfectly solid and no indication of a
hole ever leading to the cavity was per-
ceptible. The tree from which the log
was cut was a very old one. When the
hickory nuts were all removed two
squirrels were found so old and feeble
that they couldn't bark above a whisper
and had to be taken away in carriage,
OF something of that sort. Fact is. our
reporter got his notes mixed and can't
remember what was the particular at
traction Of the original item given him.
