YOUNG MEMS BEST CHANCES.

Business conditions Of the great
cities are not favorable to young
men" writes Edward w. Box i'll
the October Ladies Home Journal,
advising young men about to begin
their careers against going to the
big cities. 'It is said," he con-
tinues, that competition develops
men. 1t does, unquestionably.
But to cope with present compe-
tition as it exists i'll the centres,
calls lor a vast amount of expert
ence. That experience man must
have back of him before he can
enter the competing arena. But
how can l better acquire that
experience than where there is
constant need of it?' How better,
my young friend? By serving a
long apprenticeship in some city
smaller than the greatest. The
large cities are today poor places in
which to learn the rudinents of
business competition, for while the
young man is learning, the ex-
perienced man swallows him up.
But that is experience, persists
the young man. 1t is, but a more
severe kind than there is need of: a
kind which, once indulged in, does
not leave pleasant remembrance.
Competition in a smaller city may
be just as keen, proportionately,
but, what is all-important to the
young man starting out, the risks
are not so great: the experience is
not apt to be so costly should he
fail to succeed. 1t is a true saying
that a man before he succeeds in
business must expect to measure
his height on the ground a time or
two. But it is not necessary that
i'll his first knock-down he should
be knocked out.
But there is another and more
important fact which the young
man away from the large cities does
not realize. 1t is that the number
of possible positions in the large
cities is not increasing, despite the
reiterated assertions constantly made
to the contrary. The very opposite
is the truth. Various causes ex-
plain this: higher taxes, higher
prices of lots, or lack of building
room, labor strikes, and lower cost
of production. The manufacturing
interests Of this country are con-
stantly tending toward the smaller
cities and away from the centres.
All this means fewer positions, since
only in rare instances does the
executive branch Of a business call
tor larger number OF employees
than does the manufacturing side.
Strange as the change of current
may seem, it is, nevertheless, fact
that the young man who today
leaves a good-sized city of actual
manufacturing advantages, turns
his back on what i'll a few years
will be one of the industrial bee
hives of America"

THE TRUTH ABOUT 1T.
What Is tho Use OF living If You Can't
Ic I'm ITO

What Is tho Use of living If You Can't
Bc In 1t?
Yes, Erastus, we have noticed that
article i'll scientific journal advising
people to sleep moro in order to live
long, and to tell you tho truth we take
hut llttlo stock in it. We notice that
Tesla, tho great electrician, claims that
man might live to be 200 years old if
no would only sleep most of tho time.
And suppose he should. What would
man amount to sleeping like a fat dog
i'll tho summer? For all practical pur-
poses man might as well be dead as
to be asleep. with this advantage in the
way of being dead-he isn't in any
body's road
Suppose u man lived for 200 years
and slept 100 of it. He can only figure
out when the thing is through that he
has really lived 40 years, and in that 40
he neither cuts as much leo nor has half
the fun the man has who passes in his
checks mt GO and out OF tho 60 has only
slept 80 years. Is there any particular
object, my boy, i'll simply lying round
asleep for $50 years, wearing out bed
clothes and saving n triflo on funeral
expenses? We think not. All there is
i'll life worth living for you get while
you are awake. All tho time you ought
to spend asleep is just enough to enable
you to keep awake tho rest of tho time
Sleep is Il necessary evil, Just so
much good timo that you havo to give
up i'll order to keep your stomach, liver
and other organs in fair shape. OF
course we have read good deal about
beautiful dreams, when angels hover
overhead and all that, but our expcri-
erce is that this talk is almost alto
gother rot. When you arc in good phys
ical condition, you don't dream. When
you dream, the angels aren't in that
vicinity. 1t is when you havo filled
your interior with fatted swine and
boiled cabbage that you retro to sleep,
perchance to dream. To dream-aye,
there is tho rub!-when you feel II four
headed dog sitting upon your vitals and
know that the horned and cloven tailed
whangdoodle from tho barren mountains
of Hepsidam is crawling upon you,
breathing smoke and fire, and YOU arc
paralyZed, or you seem all ut once to
find yourself i'll the midst Of somo gay
and cultured assembly with no clothing
on your person except perhaps /, paper
collar and a pair of hose supporters and
utterly unable 70 explain to the ladies
and gentlemen present why you are

tako Your departure.
There is nothing angelic or heavenly
about tho average dream. On tho con.
trary, 1t is hadcs and repeat. Tho young
man who has to be routed out of bed at
Tor 10 O'Clock i'll the morning may live
good while, Int the chances are that

Such one Is John Welsh an ancient
evangelist who is making tour of Cali
fornia as the banner attraction OF tho Sal
Walton Army. Ho marches at the head of
the motley band through the streets, and
on account of his great height, antique

There is romance connected with the

on drunk that lasted half century.

YOU'RE stranger. I'll Take chances

iialf an hour later they were married by
