Advice.

There is wide difference between
the advice which is thrust upon you
and that which you have to hunt for
The general carelessness of the former
brand of advice. and the caution with
which the latter is impaired should be
taken into consideration in estimating
their value. But in general. it is with
advice as it is with taxation, We can
endure a little of either, II they come
to US in the direct way They must
not thrust themselves upon US, We
do not understand their knocking at
our door; besides, they always choose
such inconvenient times and are for
ever talking about arrears.
Some people have a very peculiar
way of asking for advice when they
really want assistance, and it is Just
punishment when they merely get what
they pretend to want Good advice ID
very frequently worth more than mon
ey, but the trouble comes in when the
creditors refuse to see it in that light
The proper rule in imparting advice
to another is to find out his opinion
first and then make your advice coin
eide with it.-Texas Siftings

G. Frank Allen attests the impor-
lance of the relation of railroads to the
state, which is becoming more evident
almost day by day, as reason why a
regular course of instruction in railroad
management should be looked upon as
a useful part of liberal training in
colleges where instruction in technical
engineering finds no place. Railroad
administration furnishes abundant OPP
portunities for any well educated young
man to exercise all the ability which
nature and training have placed at his
disposal, and technical training is
without doubt the best foundation
upon which to build in anticipation OF
