for what he does His nature longs
for something. exactly what he does
not perhaps know until one day some
friend tells him of certain nice COM
.pliment paid to his work by his en-
ployer. Then it occurs to the young
man that has employer has never said
an appreciative word to him. Now,
what that young man is really hunger
ing for is not another increase of sal
airy SO much as it is to have his en-
ployer acknowledge that this was par
ticularly well done, or that piece of
work was cleverly conceived and even
better carried out. A word of praise
is tremendous stimulant to the right
young fellow in business, Flooding
hard each day for his employers inter
ests. And employers are far too chary
of praise. The general claim is that
they cannot afford to praise 'for pol
icy's sake" In some cases, this may
be. But in the majority of instances
it hurts no man to be told that he has
done a thing well. 1t helps him.
I do not say that word of praise
will take the place Of an increase Of
salary. But I do say that In thou
sands of cases these two factors in
young mans progress should more
often go hand in hand than they do.
Too many employees are left TO infer
that their services are satisfactory to
their employers because they are al
lowed to work on without criticism
This silent praise has stifled the ambi-
.tion of many a young man. 1 have In
mind young man who became a vital
part of the interests of house from
eight years connection with IL. His
salary was increased during that time,
at intervals. from 5000 year 10 e, 500.
But he never received the slightest
recognition of his services other than
this monetary evidence. When the OPP
portunity came he resigned simply be-
cause the pure heartlessness and sell
fishness of his employers Jared upon
him. Exceptional case. some one says.
Not at all. There are men, and lots of
praise means more than the clink of
gold. The absence of the former has
cost business houses the loss Of many
a good man. give no larger place 10
sentiment in commercial strife than
will any business man. But 1 do be-
lieve that there is place for the kind
word of approval expressed by the en-
ployer TO the employee. II costs moth
ing. and have known cases where it
was remembered long after instances
of increased salary were forgotten.

the fact that overindulgence in them
produces precisely the same effect upon
the birds that liquor does on man. One
day last winter my stable boy brought
a bluejay home which he said he found
fiuttering about in the road. 1t would
lie in the boys hand seemingly per-
fectly contented. with eyes elated and
fearless, and its head wagged about in
ridiculous manner in it's efforts to
hold up. 1t was a common North

DENVER, May 8. - The railroad has
killed the stage in this as in nearly all
other localities, and away back in the six
ties they tell me that one great stage
system comprised 1,6OO horses and 100
coaches and where stages could not go
they put on pack trains, for they were
bound to get passengers and mails through
somehow. During the winter months in
the snow belt of the Sierras they ran
sleighs Virginia City and the Comstock
lode in Nevada were one objective point in
these days, and the lines never stopped
running for storm, heat nor cold. 1t cost
800, 600 to build the road Of one line, to
say nothing of the equipment. All, but
those were piping times! So they tell me
here.
But those marvellous Rio Grande rail-
roads that climb mountains like sand hills
are pushing the stage, with its four-in-
hand, its reckless drivers its mad whirl
around precipices and its flight down
mountain sides, to the wall. With the
passing Of the stage from the Colorado
mountains will go many romantic adj
venture, many a deed Of daring and many
tale of hair lifting nature. The road
agents, those delightful rascals who have
entertained us SO many years with their
audacious exploits, will perforee degener
ate into mere commonplace, humdrum
train robbers. The jaunty, devil-may- care
young drivers, whose picturesque costume
is cross between that of a cowboy and a
miner, will find their occupation of soaring
timid eastern people to death gone. Alas,
other times, other mannersl What pity
that the old fashion is continually depart
ing!
The most romantic stage ride in Colo
RADIO today is that from Ironton to Ouray,
the gem of the Rockies. It lasts only three
hours, but to the timorous traveller it is
three centuries. Here amid snow clad
