Some Excellent Advice to Ambitious

Young mechanics make a very eyre
gious mistake wnen they begin to think
that they do too much for their en-
ployers when they work few moments
overtime to complete small task they
are performing just at the time the
whistle blows to quit work. More
young men have been kept from receiv-
ing an advance in their wages from this
than from any other known cause.
Employers watch the movements of
young men very closely, and the least
little thing oftentimes places them in
an unfavorable light before their en-
ployers- 1t is the young man who
studies the interest of his employer,
and is not afraid to give him few mo-
ments, that gets the rapid advance

California Asce.ics Who Refused to An

Census enumeratOrs in Southern Cali

give any information to the census men,
so it was necessary to arrest the entire
party Of fifteen. They still refuse to
give an account of themselves, claiming
that they are not citizens OF the United
States. but of the world, and that no
power has authority over them save the
Supreme Ruler, and they will probably
receive the full penalty of the law.
This sect has many queer ideas, and
started about fifteen years ago when
George 7. Hinde, an Englishman by
birth. located near Anaheim. He gave
it out that he was DESTROYS of demon

animal food; that he could exist alone
on nuts and vegetables. The result has
been that he has gathered about him

belongs to the sect. They raise consid-
cradle produce, for which there is al

quietly with and among themselves and
public attention has never been directed
to them until now. At present Walter

The Happiest Of Women.

One of the most successful women in
society is the woman who absolutely
knows nothing-that is, in the ordinary
acceptance OF the term-but whose ma
ture is so nicely adapted to the needs
and requirements Of this life that she
makes no plumbers, and hurts the tender
feeling of no one. 1t is matter for US
70 reflect upon, and it should incite US
to help our children to cultivate that
spirit Of kindliness which would just as
readily speak we'll OF people as i'll. if
not to prefer to do so. We might teach
our daughters that to listen patiently to
the praise of others will not detract in
the least from their charms. Those
happy women who are capable OF honest
and hearty admiration for persons OF
thei, own sex are and always have been
admired and loved, though without &C

THE next day We all, some fourteen
men and eight dogs, went in the boat to
q large island shortly after sunrise. My
own crew of six were afraid and left
them in the boat. and Ogula described
the Law Of the land so they were to fol-

looked for mostly in the plantations, old
and new. But after four hours Of search
nothing was heard or even seen except
the tracks Of wild pigs
1--WE returned to dinner. In the after
noon Okendo. whose plantation Is on
another part Of the island we had been
at came in frantic haste, saying a gorilla
was just then seen by his wife. We
went. Sure enough, there were the
pieces of sugar corn the beast had
chewed and spat from his mouth still
wet with spittle. and the broken branch
es Of caSsara marked his exit from the
garden. We divided into three COM
panies, to the right to the left and CEN

went to the right with Ogula. Ogula
saw the gorilla, a female, but it disap-
peared before he could draw on it.
ION the following morning NJ. Gacon
and three men started at five a. m. in a
canoe. and l followed an hour later
in my boat with four men. We went in
the general region OF the previous after
noon and found plenty OF signs The
thicket was impossible to be passed by
. human being in any other than the too
noisy way Of cutting, or by crawling on
our bellies under the mass The masses
of vines, bushes and, worst Of all. grass
growing many yards in length. whose
long, narrow leaves were on their edges
as sharp as knives. Tho density Of the
growth alone killed out the leaves lower
down, and the thicket was tunneled with
MANY plsSareS, interSecting and OPEN
ing out into spaces Of a square rod or
two. where might be clump Of trees
and where the animals had their sleep
ing places on the lower branches. You
perceive, even if gorilla was heard or
sighted in such a thicket, while we
were crawling on our bellies, it would
get away before we could snatch our gun
into position; and if the animal should
only be wounded We would be in very
ugly place for defending ourselves

feet from US. We could see nothing.
The barking became more savage. the
screams more agonized. and as We tore
our way through the thicket there was
added the angry howl of parent gorilla.
Everybody took his own way. losing
sight of each other, following the sounds
along the several radii to that fierce
center. But the bark ceased with a
yelp. the screams and bowls rapidly re-
ceded-faster than We could follow.
II emerged into a small open glade.
where stood Ogula, NJ. Gacon and
Hector. The dog had come upon a
mother and child at the foot of tree "a
a hollow. which was still warm. The
mother had fed, but had returned at
the screams of the child which the dog
had seized. 1t was just at that moment
that NJ. Gacon and Ogula saw them.
The mother slapped the dog with her
hand and the dog had dropped the child
with yelp of pain. Ogula had allowed
the precious moment to pass fearing to
kill the dog with the slugs OF his mus
ket- NJ. Gacon was in his rear, and
emerged on the scene just as the
mother, who had picked up the child.
disappeared. He had not moment to
get his rife into position.
ION our way back to the boat we came
into large glade. where evidently there
must have slept that night not less than
twenty animals. 1t was very exasperat-
ing. All our hands and faces were cut
and bleeding by that fearful grass in
the frantic rush, and had hurt my
knee by fall over log. We returned
o'clock we started out again-this time
to q new place. where a gorilla had been
reported the previous afternoon. We
had an exhausting day. but did not ac-

THE DOOMED THIRTEEN

That am superstitious quite
For such stafd, prosaic wight
lean no: well deny.
Oh, call it weakness II you will,
But first, pray listen aud be still
The while tell you why:
Upon time I call to mind,
Twelve others and the undersigned,
All happy and serene,
Dismissed all thoughts Of fortunes frown,
And to banquet board sat down,
In number just thirteen.
Among the others who sat down
Were Smith and Robinson and Brown,
Tim Black, Bill Stiles and Hobbs,
Pnilander Philkins, little Stokes,
A chum of mine. one Sammy NokeS,
Another friend named Dobbs.
The others OF the doomed thirteen
Were Captain Alexander Green,
A military elf.
A man named White, from way down East,
And last, but certainly not least,
The undersigned myself.
A bakers dozen round the board
We al observed with one accord
And blanched each visage there;
But soon the cheering wassail bowl
Drove superstition from each soul;
Right reckless wights we were.
But backward now I turn my gaze.
And mingled horror and amaze
O'ercloud my furrowed brow.
A bakers dozen hearty men
Sat smiling down to dinner then.
Where are those thirteen nor!
Poor Smith and Brown and Robinson
Each reached the age OF eighty-one;
Then died excuse this brine).
Their deaths-Smith. Robinson and Brown
Were caused, I'm sure, by sitting down
With thirteen men to dine.
When only three score years and ten
Died-no apparent cause
While ten years after, on the field,
The Captain felt constrained to yield
To superstition laws.
Sam Noi,es was made an alderman,
Conceive. kind reader ifyou can
That dread fate, worse than death.
There's Philkins. he is bald, you know,
And little Stokes has asthma so
He scarce can get his breath.
White took to crime: in Jail is he,
While DobbS to Canada must fee,
His liberty to seek;
But saddest fate OF all is mine;
(What wonder that should repire0
I'm to De wed next week.
Though superstitious may be,
Oh do not, prithee pirate to me,
l scorn your common sense.
Despite my weakness you'll admit
That there is ample cause for it
In this experience.

cipality. They romp and riot about in
all freedom and all lawlessness. Read
sat looking at them disconsolate. Then
he arose, went to hotel Office where
paper could be secured without ex-
penditure filled several pages of manu-
script, went to the nearest newspaper,
sold an article for s., and ate. Next
morning appeared in one of the Mem
phis journals an account of the most
blood-thirsty squirrel fight of all times.
In fact, probably the only squirrel
fight in all history.
A later incident may, perhaps, be in
teresting by its contrast.
In recent years, not long ago, the
Arkdnsd1U IraveleT was struggling for
existence in Little Rock. Its editor
had married and had home, blessed
already with one child, babe. The
name of Opie Read was beginning to
be known. There was o demand for
his work, and the return assisted in
bolstering up the fortune of the paper.
One night the baby, little girl, who
had been i'll for some days, was counted
dying. The father had sat beside the
cradle for hours, and was sitting there
when friend came in. One foot land
what a foot Read has , wasrocking the
cradle and Read, with manuscript upon
his lap, was writing funny matter foi
an Eastern publication. The matter
no doubt, was bright, but the fathers
face was not. The baby recovered.
The work Of Read is genuine and
real 1t is American thoroughly crisT
and genuine. 1t is to other works as
maple syrup is TO caramels. There j,
the native fragrance to it.
OF Opie Read individually as AMMAN

ally that there is none more popular il

a Pleasant sketch of Popular HumorIs,

a Pleasant sketch of Popular Humorls,
Anyone walking along the streets of
London some time in the early COS
might have checked himself and turn
ed about to look at q passing figure,
writes Stanley Waterloo in the Cleve-
land Plaindedler. Thousands did.
They paused and looked because the
man was big, different in expression of
face from other men, and because from
the face, somehow, shone out what was
at the same time critical and genial.
There was the indication of acuteness
and of the big heart. These things
showed themselves in the mans face.
His name was Thackeray.
Walking the streets of Chicago to-
day, one is liable to turn and look
again at man who may chance to
pass. The impulse is almost the same,
doubtless, as that which made one
turn to look twice at Thackeray.
Oddly enough, too, the man who at
tracts attention in Chicago is, perhaps,
nearer Thackeray in character than
any other writer whose name has be-
come known upon two continents. He
is giant physically. His height is 6
feet 3 or inches. He has broad
shoulders and leonine front. He is
physically perfect, barring, perhaps,
one organ. His heart may be a little
overgrown. This is Opie 2. Read,
the one American novelist of to-day
whose touch reminds one of that of
Theodore Winthrop-who died much
too soon--the sketch writer, whose
humor and pathos are now appreciated
alike in some back county of Montana
and in scme Kentish county seat.
Read is native of Nashville, Penn,
is 81 years old, and has been a citizen
of Chicago 'ince 1887. The following,
among other amusing incidents of his
career, is related: Several years ago
he was stranted high and dry in Mem
phis, Tenn. He had no money and he
was hungry. There is in Memphis,
