Working For Uncle Sam.

There are government positions which
hold out excellent possibilities in the way
of developing a young mans qualities,
writes Edward W. Box in The Ladies'
Home Journal. But these are rare For
the most part, and on general principles,
I would not advise any young man to en-
ter the employ Of the government-that
Is, if he has any ambition. A government
position holds out attraction to the average
young man because he feels it is safe-that
is, so far the payment of his salary is con-
cerned. Then, too, he is apt to believe
that government salaries are somewhat
higher than the, salaries attached to civil
pursuits. Butt to my mind, he buys these
"sure" elements at a very dear cost to
himself.
The average government clerkship is a
very poor affair. Not only is it poor in it.
self; but, in ninety cases out of q hundred,
it means pure clerical routine. 1t has
about it peculiar sitting monotony and
restraint which are apt to quench the fire
of ambition. Promotion is impossible upon
the same lines as in business house. The
chances for development are meager.
While there are exceptions to the general
rule, government service is not the best
thing for any young fellow. He will be
wiser if he enters into the more fearless
freedom Of civil pursuits and leaves the
average government position alone. In
the first, he can be what he likes; in the
latter, it is doubtful.

Tho Diamond as a Friend.

".That's my silent partner" said Tody
Hamilton, when called attention to tho
fact that he always wore his big diamond
beneath his vest.
"a good diamond" he explained, sis
about the best friend in need travelling
man has. You may think it a case of van
ity. but it sisn t-;t least it isn't with a
majority of the men who wear them on
the road. A diamond is the most con-
venient form of portable property and the
least Auctuating in value. You may get
out Of money in some faraway town, be
robbed on the road lose your money or
blow it in on a spree. There you are.
Your diamond Of the value Of $3.50 will
stand you in for 500. You couldn't get
moro thar $50 or. something like that OH
watch worth $3.50 to $500. So, you'n see
most travelling men wearing good stone.
1t Is silent or special partner and stands
by d man at the right time.
"Circus men and theatrical people save
their money in, diamonds. They see good
many ups and downs, and If they didn't
put their surplus cash into gems they'd let
1t all go and have nothing for rainy day.
An actress can this way both save her
money and be using 1t at the same time in
personal adornment.- We used to have q
man with the Barnum show who Went
through the entire season dealing in dia-
monds with our people. He'd sell them
diamonds, buy them back or loan money
dn them when the possessors were hard up
and run regular diamond brokers' trade
with us exclusively. '-Pittsburg Dis
