Do the Best You Can,

A young lawyer once complained
to member of the same profession,
who was a very successful practition-
er, that the profession was crowded,
and that there was but little chance
for a young man like himself; where
upon the old, wise lawyer gave the
young man little advice. He said ::
Young man, that the lower stratum
Of the profession is crowded there is
no doubt, and it always will be; but
as in all kinds Of business, so in ours;
there is plenty of room at the top.
Get out Of the lower ranks and come
up higher, and you will not be crowd
ed" While these are not the exact
words of the wise doctor, they convey
the idea actually expressed, and teach
lesson to every laborer or profess
sional man. Did you ever notice in
an orchard the finest apples and cher
ries and peaches are always in the
very top Of the tree, and that they are
not crowded, but have plenty of room
to grow, and plenty Of air and sun
shine and dew and rain to assist in
their development? Do you not know
that the upper rooms Of a building
are the heslthiest to live in, because
of the pure air and sunshine? But
you will notice they are almost always
unoccupied, because, we suppose, it is
too much like work to climb the
stairs.
There are some printers who are
never idle. They always have en-
ployment and get good wages, and it
is just because they have climbed the
stairs and have thoroughly mastered
their business; and not only so, they
have mastered themselves, and, in ad-
dition to being proficient in the art,
they have trained themselves to be
gentlemen. and have given some at
tention to business principles. They
are known to be sober, industrious
and we'll qualified. Such men do not
have to seek business, but employers
have an eye on them, and when they
wish to change their locations, posi-
tions are open to them. Such men
become the foremen and eventually
the proprietors.
In the lower stratum, representing
three-fOurthS OF the Workmen, Will be
found those who are all the time COM
planning that their ranks are crowd
ed. They whine that they get no
work to do. The trouble is that they
have not the ambition to get up into
the place where there is room. Do
you ask how can I get to the top?
begin with yourself. if you have moth
ing else, and be gentleman. Be So
Der and honest, and when you find
some kind Of an opening, go right in
and do your best. Slight nothing,
and present the best work it is in your
power to perform, and you have made
several steps toward the upper room.
Too many Of our profession are given
to frequenting drinking places, and
while we are willing to accord to eve
ry man personal liberty and all that
kind of thing, we know that employ
ers are not seeking that class of work
men, nor in just that locality for fore
men, bookkeepers or treasurers. Put
yourself in the way Of business, and
you will not only find it, but it will
find you.

The very best remedy that can be
compounded from our present knowl-

consumption when all other remedies

WHOLE NO. 1911.

An alleged interview with Gov.
Foster, in Washington, few days
ago, has been published. We would
that the whole thing were joke, but
it is probably genuine. Mr.. Foster
made the solemn declaration that
president Arthur could not carry
Ohio as candidate for the Presi-
dency."
Just how Mr.. Foster obtained spe-
cifc information as to President Ar
thurs unpopularity in Ohio, might
be puzzling to many were it not for
the fact that he hastens an explana-
tien. Listen to it: HE could not
carry Ohio because Of the memory Of
Garfield" 1t is quite probable that
the name of the loved and lamented
Garfield has not been thoght of, in
connection with Ohio politics, for at
least year. A large number Of am
bilious politicians attempted, for some
time after Garfeld's death, to climb
to greatness over his grand fame, and
this class assumed to be the especial
friends and admirers Of the dead
statesman, to the exclusion of all 9TH
ers. But when it comes to saying
that President Arthur could not car
ry Ohio because Garfield died, it
sounds like the argument Of the luna
tic asylum. There may be a good
many things connected with Ohio pol
itics that even Gov. Foster does not
know.

Drunkenness Cured.

1t is generally presumed that when
a man has been cured once Of some
infrmity or complication of diseases
by the use of our medicine, that he
knows a good thing when he sees it.
It is stated by those who know that a
monkey cannot be induced to partake
a second time of any drink which con-
tains alcohol. 1t appears as if the
memory of the pangs and tortures
first inflicted exert a beneficial infu-
ence upon the animal. Man is quite
different in this regard, and glance
about US will show that numbers of
our friends and neighbors are daily
becoming the worse by the use of in
toxicants. This can be remedied by
the moderate use Of a well known
remedy called PERUNA. If the
medicine is taken daily, the appetite
for liquor will be finally removed, and
the patient, no matter what his pre-
vious condition, will be restored to So
briefly and to society. Yes. PERUNA
is great medicine, and should be used
by all. Send for it. 7feb2w

hundred dollars, from an inheritance
in Germany. Beck Immediately got
on big spree, and spent about five
hundred dollars Of his money before
they could get him stopped. A guar

ground that he was incapable of tax
