Sticking to Business.

There is nothing which should be
more impressed upon the minds of
young men than the Importance OF
steadily pursuing some one bust
ness. The frequent changing from
one business to another is one OF
the most common errors commit
ted, and to it can be traced more
than half the failures of men in
business, and much of the discon
tent and disappointment which rem
ders life uncomfortable. 1t is a
common thing for man to be dis
appointed in his business and to
desire to change it for some other,
which it seems to him will prove a
more lucrative one; but in nine
cases out of ten it is mistake.
Look around you and you will
find among your acquaintances
abundant verification of this asser-
ton. Take, for example, an honest
farmer, who has toiled few years,
got his farm paid for, but does not
grow rich very rapidly, as much for
lack of contentment and industry
as anything, though he is not aware
of it. He hears the many wonder
full stories of the vast fortunes made
in stock investments, and how they
may be had for the trouble of pick
ing them up. He mortgages his
farm to raise money, comes to the
land Of the scalper, and after many
nights goes home again, to COM
mence at the bottom of the hill, for
a more weary and less successful
climblng-up again. Mark the men
in every community who are noto-
rious for never getting ahead, and
you will find them men who never
stick to any business, but always
forsake their occupation just when
it is beginning to be profitable.

A Conrenial Wife,

To dwell happily together, man
and wife must have congeniality of
tastes. The woman must be tai
ented as a woman, and must have
very fine touch for the affections,
and it is more important that a
person should gossip and talk pleas
antly and smartly ofcommon friends
and the Thousand and one nothings
of the day and hour, than that she
should speak with tongue of men
and angels, for while together by
the fire, happens more frequently
than the presence of guest at din
ner. That people should Saily
laugh over the same sort Of jests,
many an old joke between them,
which time cannot wither nor Gus
tom stale, is a better preparation
for life than many other things
higher and better sounding in the
worlds ear. You can read Kent
by yourself, if you wish, but you
must share joke with some one
else. You can forgive people who
do not follow you through a philo-
sophical disqusition, but to find
your wife laughing when you have
tears In your eyes, or staring when
you were in a fit of laughter, would
go some way toward the dissolution
of the marriage. Twill own that /
enjoy a fresh and unsophisticated
mind. think it is better sort of
mind that goes necessarily with the
clearest views on public business.
1t will wash. 1t will keep. 1t
will find something to say at an odd
moment. 1t has in it spring of
pleasant and quaint fancies. Where
as, 1 can imagine myself yawning
all night long, until my jaws ached
and the tears came in my eyes, al
though my companion On the other
side of the hearth held the most en-
frightened opinion on the franchise
or the ballot.

"Mr. Perry be hangedp' muttered
Carol, striding disconsolately down
toward. the beach.

impudent of him to come here! He

the rosy red lips very decidedly.
Courage, Carol! Mrs. Carmi-
chaers consent is to come much
sooner than you expect, and in a
manner you do not dream of.
The very next day CAROLS stroll
ing along the beach, feeling very
ill-used indeed, and thinking il
would be great relief if he could
only hate the mercenary girl he
loves so much.
But, somehow, he has only loving
thoughts of the girl who had stoler
his heart, though the knowledge Of
how almost hopeless his love il
makes him very miserable.
Mrs. CarmichaePs party are bath
ing, and as Carol watches Cts, ht
thinks she looks like sea nymph
Poor Carol is very far gone in
deed, and does not see any incon
gruity in a sea nymph wearing s
baggy bathing suit.
Then something happens which
might have ended in a sorrowfll
tragedy. Mrs. Carmichael ventures
a trif1e too far out alone, and is i'm
mediately thrown off her feet by the
current.
She. utters a low wall of terror
which seems to paralyze the rest Of
the party. Only Carol has presence
of mind enough to dash into the
water, and bring her, almost I'M
conscious, to land.
OF course he is lionized and made
much of at the Arctic. Though
driven to desperation by their at
tention, he declares again and again
that it is only what any one of Mrs.
Carmichaers party would have done
the next moment if he had permitted
them the opportunity. o..
But, though he hates to be
praised, he is in the seventh heaven
of delight when Cts takes him by
the hand, with grateful tears On her
dark lashes.
Of course you can guess the Sc
quel. Mrs. Carmichael summons
her niece and Carol the next day,
and declares that if Cts doesn't,
within three months, marry the man
who saved her life, not a penny of
her money shall she have.
And our mercenary little heroine
tells Carol that she can't bear to
lose so much money because of the
slight incumbrance he will be, and
so-she marries him.-Sat. Night.

Bows. Go Hora,

All, boys! you have gone out
from the homesteads into the rush
and hustle of life, do you evel
think of the patient mothers who
are stretching out to you arms thai
are power ess to draw you back tt
the old home nest? Arms that were
strong to carry you once, pressed
to hearts that love you now as
then.
No matter, though your hair is
silver streaked, and Dot in the
cradle calls you grandpa, you are
"the boy" so long as mother lives
You are the children of the old
home. Nothing can crowd you
out of your mothers heart. You
may have failed in the battle oflife,
and your manhood may have been
crushed out against the wall of Cir
cumstances; you may have been
prosperous, gained wealth and
fame; but mothers love has follow
ed you always. Many "boy" has
not been home for five or ten Oh
twenty years. And all this time
mother has been waiting. All,
who does not know the agony ex-
pressed by that word? She may
be even now saying, Il dreamed OF
my John last night. May be he
will come to-day. He may drop in
for dinner and the poor, trembling
hands prepare some favorite dish
for him. Dinner comes and goes,
but John comes not with it. Thus,
day after day. month after month,
passes, till at last, "hope deferred
maketh the heart SICK" aye, sick
unto death; the feeble arms are
stretched out no longer. The dim
eyes are closed, the gray hairs
smoothed for the last time, and the
tired hands are folded for everlast-
ing rest, and the mother waits no
more on earth for one whe comes
not. God grant that she may not
in vain wait for his coming to the
heavenly home. Once more 1 say
unto you, boys, go home, if only for
a day. Let mother know you have
not forgotten her. Her days may
be numbered. Next winter may
cover her grave with snow.

Fortunately got message to the station in time to flag the first train that got there, but if one of them had happened to pass there would have been fearful accident. It was a very natural mistake.

A Train DIsPatcher's Gray Hair.
 From GilhooIey's Etch'ngs.l

''Yes, sir, don't mind telling you why it is,' answered the conductor of one of the accommodation trains running out of the city, in response to a reporters inquiry as to why his hair was so streaked with gray, while his face indicated a young man scarcely over thirty 'tAt twenty my hair was as black as coal. Those streaks of gray were caused by my three or four years experience as train dispatcher on great trunk line run ming out of Chicago.
 'sPeople who climb on 8 passenger train when she is two or three hours late little imagine what endless planning and manage ment it takes to get through safely Let 8 freight get behind time, and we can handle her by running on another train's time, but 8 passenger breaks up everything on the road A train disr stcher must be familiar with every circumstance and every possible combination of circumstanses. He must know just on what portions of the road fast time can be made. and give orders according Fly. He must never give an order for certain time to be made unless he is positively cer- tain that the grade and condition of the weather will permit of such time being made. To day may order a train to run from sta tion A to station B, and; another for train to run from to A, when the same order to- morrow would precipitate collision.
 f.You have got to know all 2the men on the line Why, on that road that worked on there would be engineers and conductors that could never get train through on time Then there were others that would never be late except in case of accident. Why, some times dnring my eight hours of duty I would give 250 train orders. Just think of that a moment. Here is passenger train four hours late, and freight train side tracked at every station. Of course that puts every train behind time First have to order the operator to put out his flag and hold the train for orders and then have to send the order and wait for it to be repeated back. At the same time train may be passing station five miles away, when want to hold and side track her. All this time must not only keep g clear track for the passenger train, but must unnecessarily detain the freiQhts. Sometimes. right in the midst of K rush of business like this, the wire will break, Or some operator will leave his key open. Then everything is to pay. Fortunately the train dispatcher's order is the law. Every empIoye is bound to obey it. So we do not have to worry about that. l" zr-
 "Did ever have an accident? No; but I've come mighty near it. Once left the office, by permission, in care of my assistant, and when returned found that he had two trains running toward each other on a single track, and only station between them.

 This is especially true of family medicine, and it is posi- tive proof that the renledy Sq'sstoted is of the highest value.
 As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and most valuable family medicine on earth, many lmita- tions sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and people of the country had express ed the merits of H. B., and in every way trying. to induce suffer ing invalids to use their stuff lp- stead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of Fl. B. &
 Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. B., with 7ariously cnnningly devised names in which,the word FFHop" orse Hops '' were used in way to induce people to believe they were the same as HOP Bitters. All such pretende ed remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word "Hop" or Hops" in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imi- tations or commercials.
 Beware of them. Touoh none of them, but: Use nothing but genuine Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label. Trust nothing else. Drueeistsand dealers are warned against dealing in limitations or cOunterfeits. -..s,..--fg,--.,
