been sent with books right up to ,hs
houses OF people we know socially.
My son hasn't been brought up that
way. and | think won't have him
learn this business
II did not, and, what's more. has
never learned any other business.
That is one side of the picture. and
the wrong side. Now let us look at
another case. The son of a wealthy
mill-owner just from college, came
to his father one day and stated that
he would like to be manager of the
mills
But that is impossible" said the
father, unless you practically learn
the business"
.That is what would like to do"
said the son.
But to become a superintendent or
manager. we prefer a man who has
risen from the ranks and understands
the mechanical department and the
WAYS of employees"
LET me begin in the ranks then, I"
replied the young man.
To this the father assented, stipu-
lating that no favor should be shown
the son, but he should actually begin
work at regular labor in the mechan-
ical department
Not only was this done, but the young
man went and boarded in the manufac-
turing town at workman's boarding
house, and went in and out of the fac
tory at bell call. In three years he was
foreman of one of the departments, and
former classmate and well-known so
ciety man. calling there upon him, was
surprised at meeting stalwart fellow
in blue overalls, with hands so soiled
with machinery oil as to prevent the
conventional hand-shake.
But this young man persevered, made
and paid his own way himself. and his
father concluded it would not injure his
future prospects.
Judging from the fact that he is now
manager of mills mot his father'sl at
salary of ten thousand a year, and with
ability to command even better com
pensation and partnership, is evidence
that ''learning business" even by men
with good education and rich father,
pays a good return, both in money and
manly independence. Golden Days.

South Dakota Letter,

| A1'tNof AhHtIdt 4 otNt AFtOhftts --
1t is high time | sent you few
scraps for your paper. Excuse my
delay this time.
Tho next day after | wrote you
the card, (the 25th ult) we had a
regular blizzard of snow and wind.
From foot TO sixteen inches of
snow must have fallen, but ~ the
wind soon began 10 blow it was
impossible to tell It's depth exactly.
II is all in big drifts now. The
thermometer ran down to six below
zero We had to keep the chickens
shat IN for three days. But it is
fine again now--the Goth. BY the
way, we sold chickens and turkeys
to the value of $3.50 this fall. and
have 90 chickens and turkeys left.
Crops this year were rather light,
and prices are low About 80 cts
for wheat, The exception is
potatoes, which are 75 cents per
bushe.
Mr. Teasdale is buying grain
again, and is making considerable
improvements on his place, You
would not know that little boy Of
his, if he was set down in Mineral
Point streets some day. lie is a
big, manly fellow now, a bigger
man than his father will be 81
next February.
This part Of South Dakots is not
filling up again very rapidly, but
still, it is Sling up some. If we
had had another crop like last year,
all the vacant places would soon
have been occupied. Though many
have moved away from the place
where we have held Sunday school
for several summers, we managed
to hold a school this year for few
weeks, but were finally caused TO
give up by the school house being
/ plastered afresh, and the job was 50
long in hand that the little interest
was gone when it was done.
Severe weather came on SO
suddenly, and the change was 80
great that we both--Mrs. ID. aud
myself-took a severe cold which
has lasted more than three weeks,
and still fingers. Alpena il slowly
improving. 1t is a great business
place for it's size. New houses
going up occasionally and good
substantial side walks laid down.
Mr. Il. Kiusman seems to be
| prospering in town as blacksmith ;
has got his house fenced with a
good picket fence, aud nicely
painted. Indeed several lots have
been improved in similar way this
last season.
Mr.. May is also prospering by
sll appearances; enlarging his
grounds and buildings.
One good thing here is absence
Of drink, drinking and druukards,
| ! don't remember seeing a drunken
man since / have been here. No
doubt some get it by express for
their own private use, but no such
thing is in sight

makes it worthy of a foremost place
among examples of after-dinner wit

expressed was: "The Press, the

morals, and the third spreads con

while others go away with the

THE Review of Reviews for
December sustains with remarkable
enterprise and ability the great
reputation this magazine has won
for timeliness, exact pertinency and
wide range of interest. Among its
almost countless illustrations are
groups including some thirty Of the
newly-elected Governors of States.
No other magazine could possibly
have secured and made such lins-
trations and actually embodied them
in its December number, for in
many instances it was not definitely
known until the middle of Noyem-
Der who were actually elected as
Governors. The editors review Of
the election and his discussion Of
the results will attract wide atten-
ton. The editorial department en-
titled "The Progress of the World"
is unusually extended this month.
