HOW TO BE MERCHANTS.

The boys and young men now en-
ployed in our stores will be the future
merchants in these lines of trade, es-
peciallY those who are studious, at
tentiYe, honest, reliable, and who
make the proper effort to master in all
its details the business in which they
are engaged. Those who are trying to
make the best of their opportunity as
rule will be successful.
Every clerk should strive to gain
a knowledge of the construction,
weave, finish and all that relates to
the goods which he handles, buys or
sells.
The long winter evenings give
plenty of leisure for reading and
study, which, if intelligently directed
and rightly employed by our young
men in the trade, will form the foun-
dation of knowledge that viii be a
mine of wealth for them in the near
and distant future. Even half an
hour every evening devoted to reading
some good book Will leave its impkss
-, .s msma-z =
create upsire for more knowledge.
No one ever achieved success without
work and study, and no one can gain
knowledge without 1t.
1t is an old saying that every tub
should stand on its own bottom. Boys,
You have got to face tho world as soon
as you are men, and rely on your own
abilities. You can not ali stand upon
what your fathers have done, or your
family names. You may profit by their
example, their experience and the
honest names they have left you. What
your father did, he accomplished, not
you; what you do the world judges
you by.
Be governed BY good common
sense, be self-reliant. be a gentle
man, do your duty. Remember that il
is the bright, studious store-boy who
grows into the good merchant. The
more intelligent young man is in his
calling, other things being equal, the
higher ne viii get. Young men, make
positions. do not let them make you,
The men who have achieved the great
est success as merchants were not
ashamed to work, and nothing can be
accomplished without it.

BURNED Him UPIN THE TENT.

That is a painful, revolving story
that the son Of a Philadelphia police
man named CALDWELL writes to his
father from the scene of the Wounded
Knee Indian fight, and that is repro
duced in the Philadelphia Times. He
says:
Even after the Indians were wound
ed and lying on the ground they would
wait until they got chance and then
would shoot soldier in the back.
There was one Indian who was lying
in tent He killed about four men
before they found out where he was,
but after they found him they shot
him, and then they burned him up in
the tent. Then some of the men went
around and shot every Indian that
was able to do any damage. | don't
think there were any more than nve
or six who got away out of the whole
band. It was a clean sweep and a good
one. They got what they wanted.
Why did they burn him up in the
tent?' That sounds more like cruel
barbarian warfare than that of an en-
nghtened alleged Christian nation.
Had the Indians been a white foe Of
equal standing in the world, doing
just what white foe might have done;
would the soldiers not have captured
these wounded skirmishers and dis
armed them? Would they have wound
ed them to death as they lay on the
ground and then burned them? It is
sickening tc think Of this outrageous
descent to the level of barbarians as

A DEPARTURE from the requirement
OF unanimity in the verdicts of juries
has been made in Minnesota. An
amendment allowing ten members, of
five-sixths of a jury, to render verdict
in civil cases was voted on at the re-
cent election, and appears to have been
carried. The adoption of the amend
ment has occasioned some surprise in
the state. The departure is, however,
in direction which many thoughtful
men have pointed out as the path of
progress, and expert opinion is on
record to the effect that the demand
for such a change will become greater
as juries improve and as the difficulty
of securing conscientious unanimity
increases. The operation Of the new
system in Minnesota will be watched
with interest.

The old theory that in order to build
up your own business it is necessary to
pull down YOUR competitor does not
seem to have lost its hold. The public
is able to make comparisons for itself,
and by attempting to give the idea
that a business rival is fraud, one
succeeds only in bringing suspicion
upon himself.

give us for presuming that he or she
should doubt the account, but the sub
ject (rat killing) is something with
which the average person is perhaps
not familiar. Yesterday evening, Ed.
Amborne, who owns a Russian terrier
called ''Topsey'', and Chas. T. Schmidt
went to the latter's slaughter house,
where they proceeded to disturb a wood
pile which proved to be actually alive
with rats. ''Topsey' killed over 200 in
less than 30 minutes. The best record
extant for killing rats is 100 in five
minutes and 40 seconds. A great many
of the rats succeeded in making their
escape. The 100 record given above
is one which was, Of course, made in q
