What might have been disastrous
wreck vas narrowly averted on the Ohio
River road down at the "Narrows" above
Moundsvilc. The Ohio River north
bound passenger train due here at $3.50
in the afternoon was coming along there
yesterday at rather fast speed, when
the engineer saw an obstruction on the
track ahead. He succeeded in stopping
the train few feet before the obstruc-
tious were reached. 1t was found that
several immense stones and lot Of dirt
had come down the hillside and lodged
on the tracks. It was several hours be-
fore the track was cleared so as to allow
trains to proceed. The train arrived
here at 6 o'clock. Had it been during
the night wreck would have surely
occurred.

The street-cars in a certain Western
city have small stoves in the centre or
each car for the additional comfort OF
passengers in cold weather. The driver OF
one Of these cars had reached the end Of
his route one cold day last November.
and was changing his horses from one end
Of the car to the other. when half
grown, half-starved and bedrag sled-look-
ing kitten came mewing across the road
and ran into the car 1t curled up under
the warm stove i'm great contentrient, and
the kind-hearted driver, who was also
the conductor. allowed il TO lie under the
stove during the downtown trip. He
begged a saucer of mix for the little waif
at the other end Of tn route, AMI after
her lunch. for which she was manifestly
grateful, kitty went back 20 her snug lit
tie place under the little stove. and dur

AS for things 20 eat, kitty has them in

had gifts of a choce bit of raw steak
offered her by an Old Irismman on the
car. big otmeal cracker and some gum
drops presented by little girl. lump of
loaf sugar, lime, a sandwich, some pea

The Dissatisfied Hov

The boy who thinks he could do great
things. IF he only had a chance" Is the
boy who seldom makes a success Of any
thing. He is always waiting. for good
luck" TO bring him into prominence He
isn't valuable TO Il practical employer.
VINO wants boy that can do ordinary
Things well and who is willing TO do or
binary things.
The boy who sullenly thinks that his
position. whatever II may be. is not "as
good as he deserves" is preparing the
way for disappointment in after years.
Inc world never puts a valuation on
boy or man as il does upon horse or
steam engine they have a market value
the minute they are shown-based on
their capacity to do good work But
boy has no value until he earns one him
self The world never applauds n man
for what he says he can do, but for some
thing he has actually done. When he
has shown that he possesses qualities and
capabilities. then the world stamps his
value upon him. as the mint coins the
gold.
The qualities that are valuable are in
tclligence. accuracy and honor. boy
must show that he has fair mental ca
pacity. that he has formed the habit OF
correctness. and that he is trustworthy.
Employers do not seek phenomenal
Above all else they appreciate the accu-
rate boy. one who. in workshop store or
office, does the right thing at the right
time. The duty may be but a trife in
itself. but the doing Of 1t and the per-
ceiving that IL should he done without
waiting to be told. proves the boys value.
The boy VINO allows himself 10 feel that
he is working solely for the wages he
receives will never get beyond the grade
of wage-earner. He should try TO learn
something new each day, because IL is
what he learns. not what ne earns that
makes him valuable. by knowing more
he is able TO earn more
There is a difference between ambition
and dissatisfaction. Ambition comes from
knowledge, but dissatisfaction often comes
from ignorance. The first question a
reasonable employer asks when a boy re-
quests advancement is, What are you
able to do?" If the boy can reply that
he is able TO do more or better work than
when his pay was last fixed he can gem
orally count on an increase IL he can
only say he is dissatisfied" he will
probably be told TO go somewhere else;
but II he can show that he can earn
money for his employer he can command
money for himself. That Is a rule as
stable as gold itself, not only in the work
shop. but in every walk OF life. Any EN-
ployer who ignores this truth would be
tearing out his own foundation.
III a boy will realize that dissatisfac-
ton with conditions is an injury to him
self. but that laudable ambition to adj
vance is merit. he will prosper And
advancement can come only through doing
well what Is each moment to be done.
Such bows are always observed and kept
in mind by men who need boys services,
