Advice to BOYS.

You are learning a trade. That
is good thing to have. 1t is better
than gold. Brings always pre-
MUM. But to bring a premium, the
trade must be perfect-no silver
plated, do so with determination to
win. Make up your mind what you
will be, and be it. Determine in
your own mind to be good work
man.
Bide your time,
Learn to wait.
Learn to labor
Trust in tate
Ever honest
Keep your pluck.
Ever faithful
Trust in luck.
Have pluck and patience. Look
out for the interests of your employ
er-thus you will learn to look out
for your own. Do not wait to be
told everything. Remember. Act
as though you wished to learn. If
you have an errand to do start off
like boy with some life. Look
about you. See how the best work
man in the shop does, and copy after
him. Learn to do things we'll.
Whatever is worth doing at all, is
worth doing well. Never slight
your work. Every job you do is a
sign. If you have done one in ten
minutes see if you cannot do the
next in nine. Too many boys spoil
lifetime by not having patience.
They work at trade until they see
about one-half Of its mysteries, and
then strike for higher wages. Act
as if your interest and the interest of
your employer were the same.
Good mechanics are the props of
society. They are those who stuck
to their trades until they learned
them. People always speak we'll of
boy who minds his own business
who is willing to work, and who
seems disposed to be somebody in
time. Learn the whole of your
trade.-M NJ. Pomeroy.

Senate Reorganization.


GOSSIP OCCASIOSED BY THE VISIT OF HON. IN DOLPH
TO THE CITY.
Hon. J. N. Dolph, republican senator-elect from
oregon, was In the Senate chamber to day. His
presence just at this time, within q week of the
adjournment OF Congress, led to the surmse on
the part of many that he had been advised to
come here that he may be present at an executive
session OF the Senate to be convened i'm
medlately after Congress adjourns The
question OF probable executive session Is one
that is being much specialized about at present.
No formal step looking to the election OF presi-
aent pro ten,pore at this session has yet been
taken, but It Is said Judge Davis is willing
10 vacate the chair on the Sd of March pro-
vided the republicans and democrats can agree
upon his successor; and provided further that the
republicans VIII consent to leave the present Or
gan1zation OF the Senate undisturbed until next
december. 1t Is said also that some OF the repub-
ucans OBJECT to any conditions being imposed upon
thein, and that rather than assent to any they
VIII favor special session. The presence or Mr..
Dolph assures the full attendance or the republi-
cans should special session be convened and it
begins TO look now as If one is very probable.
