A man without ambition is not

men. Not fossils those rest-and-be-

to-day, will be satisfied to keep on do

men who, if they do a good business
to-day, will strive for a better to-
morrow; who, when they find one
store too small, shall spread out. I'm
fortunately there are some who say we
don't advertise because we have more
business now than We can do. We
pity them; they may make fair ped
dlers but their abilities are unsuited
for Ogden. Sleepy Hollow is where
they belong.-Ogden Argus.

A FATHER To HIS SON.

The following is copy Of letter re.
Gently sent by father in Waterton, N.
L., to his son in Chicago:
My Dear Son Fred: The twenty. 6rst
anniversary Of your birthday is at hand,
and, like all its predecessors, will soon
be past. But, unlike them, il marks a
period in your life's history Of special
interest. Up to this date you have been
q minor Tor infant in lsw). Now you
step out upon the platform of life a man,
recognized alike ia society and in law as
citizen with rights equal to any and all.
In other words this is the declaration Of
your independence. You can no longer
be commanded. Your consent must be
obtained, and so long as you keep in.
violate the law Of God and your country
you will be protected in these rights.
Now, my son, IN giving you your time
legally and morally-I have chosen fit
emblem as a momento OF the the occas.
sion, and beg you to accept the presenta.
tlon OF the accompanying watch,
chain and charm as not only
an expression OF the united al.
feetions Of the givers-your father,
mother and sister-but also as a re.
minder all through life Of the high
obligations this twenty-frst birthday
places you under. In assuming these re.
sponsibitities for yourself let me give
you my valedictory. As you look upon
the watch may enduring memories arise
in your heart. May il remind you Of
happy childhood only, forgetting your
many little sorrows and Affections, which
are always designed for your good; and
as you gaze upon its dial, indicating the
feeting hours, may it remind you that
time will soon be past and eternity will
demand an accounting OF its hours.
Therefore place those hours in the
keeping of God, now, from the beginning
Of your manhood, and you will not only
the principal but the compound in.
terest added when life is over. So, when
you look upon the chain let il remind
you that it is the hair Of your father and
mother entwined in love for their only
son; and when the venerable heads from
which il was cut shall have turned gray
with age and care, or perchanee shall
have lie moldering under the sod, may
1t still speak in unmistakable language
to your heart of the love they bore you.
And lastly-your dear, loving and only
sister. wishing to join us on this special |
occasion, knows OF no more fitting way
than to lock herself up in the charm for
you, with the hope that she may ever be
carried near your heart; and when you
look upon any other fair daughters OF
earth you may defend and protect them
as you would the virtue Of your own
sister. In conclusion. my dear boy, may |
God bless you and never desert you.
Read his word and keep close to him in
prayer and he will ever be found Of you
in time Of need. Farewell. Your ever |
devoted and ahectionate father.

A Washington dispatch OF August Z
says: Senator Bowen was before the
Senate Finance Committee to-day for
several hours in relation to the pro-
posed reduction of the duty on lead
ore. The Mills bill first had it on the
free list, but finally put it at one-half
per cent. The Senate committee had
determined to put it at three-fourths
per cent, but Senator Bowen con-
vinced them that it would ruin the
industry. He said tonight that the
Senate bill would now retain the pres
ent duty on lead ore, and in addition
would provide that lead ores, when
mixed with gold or silver ores, shall be
subject TO proportionate duty.

A sneeze that woke a sleeper.

An amusing story was this, told by
Ex-Governor Bullock OF Georgia in a
speech at the meeting Of the National
Prison Association: "In one OF the
penal institutions a few years ago a
prisoner was asked by a visitor,
What brought you here?'
"' A sneeze,' answered the jail-bird, /,
who by the way was professional
burglar.
"' A sneeze?'
Yes. / pursued my calling un-
molested until one night while | was

unfortunately overcome by an impulse
to sneeze. That woke the policeman,
who brought me here.

lie Objected 60 Face Powder.

A divorce was granted recently in
San Francisco to Mrs. Emma G..
Pease from DIR. Giles NJ. Pease on the
ground of desertion. Mrs. Pease tes-
tilted that the doctor objected to the
use of face powder, and when, one
morning, he found her face covered
with it, he left the house in disgust.
Though returning to his meals, he
never spoke to her again for fifteen
months, and finally left her altogether.

Rev rype.se.tinx Machine.

An ingenious machine is being built
at the Ames Manufacturing Companys
shops at Chicopee, under the super
vision OF the inventor, George A.
Goodson, which the inventor claims
will revolutionize the present compost
tion OF a newspaper. 1t is called an
electro-matrix machine, and intended
10 do away with newspaper type-set-
ting as practiced at present. All that
the operator has TO look after is the
lettering, which is done as on type
writer, for the machine takes care Of
the alignment, which is perfect, and
by novel device for regulating the
spacing the perfect justification Of
every line is secured. II is estimated
that the machine will take the place
OF four compositors, besides saving
the time of distribution. The card
comes from the machine perfect
matrix, and all ready for the metal to
be east into it, producing the COM
plete stereotype for the press. The
machine is run by electricity Boston

From rruc.mea 10 miIloaa,re.

Thirty years ago freckle-faced,
stout English lad, broganed and
roughly dressed, applied for work in a
wholesale shipping and chandler
house on South street. lie had Just
landed. He was given a place push
ing hand-truck, and he did his work
satisfactorily. He found better stu
alton presently and drifted away. The
other day a rosy-cheeked man stepped
along among the trucks and the crowd
OF South street TO find the place where
he once worked as a roustabout and
laborer. He could have well afforded
to have sought the old store in car
riage, but he did not, though he is a
millionaire now more than three times
over, and lives, when at home, in one
OF the grandest houses in Cleveland,
Ohio. His name is Samuel Andrews.
When he left New York he went west
and made some money in the then
comparatively unknown trade of tar
roofing. He saved what he had made,
and when the Standard Oil Company
was formed he got in on the ground
floor. The way to millions was then
opened to him.-New York Graphic.

Water is found most everywhere,
especially when it rains, as it did the
other day and got our cellar full. Jane
had to wear fathers rubber boots to
get the onions for dinner. Onions
make your eyes water, so does horse
radish, when you eat too much.
There is a good many kinds Of
water in the world-rain water, soda
water, well water, holy water and
brine.
There is a girl in our school named
Waterman. All the boys say Water
man you are and then she gets mad.
| don't think girls look good when they
are mad.
Water is used for a great many
things. Sailors use it TO go to sea on.
II there wasn't any ocean their ships
couldn't float, and they would have to
STAY ashore. Water is good TO make
dams in, and to fire at boys with a
squirt gun, and to catch fishes in. My
father caught one the other day, and
when he hauled it up it was an eel.
Nobody could be saved from drown
ing il there wasn't any water to pull
them out OF. Water is first rate to put

and see the men work the engines.
This is all can think about the water
