MARK. TWAIN'S ADVICE.


Mark Twain has found situations
for many man in a unique way.
When any one asked him for help
along that line, he would write the
delighted applicant cordial affirm
alive, asking him to pick out any
position he preferred and to aim
high. The desired position being
selected, Mark would simply fire
back at the applicant the following
instructions. In every case, where
they were carried out in good faith,
they landed the worker at the top Of
the ladder. Here they are:
Formula:
First.-By benefcent law of our
human nature every man is ready
and willing to employ any young
fellow who is honestly anxious to
work-for nothing.
Second.-A man once wonted to
an employee and satisfied with him
is loath to part with him and give
himself the trouble of breaking in
new man. ..,.... ..
Let us practice upon these foibles.
Instructions:
First. You are to apply for work
at the Office of your choice.
Second.-You are to 60 without
recommendations. You are not to
mention my name, nor any ones
but your own. "
. Third.-You are to say that you
want no pay; that all you want is
work-any kind of work. You make
no stipulation. You are ready to
sweep out, point the pencils, replen-
ish the inkstands, hold copy, tidy
up, keep the place in order, run
errands-anything and everything.
You are not particular. You are SO
tired of being idle that life is a bur-
den to you. All you want is work
and plenty of it. You do not want
a pennyworth of remuneration. n.
B.-You will get the place, whether
the man be a generous one or a sell
fish one.
Fourth. You must not sit around
and wait for the staff to find work
for you to do. You must keep
watch and find it for yourself.
When you can't find it, invent it.
You will be popular there pretty
soon, and the boys will do you a
good turn whenever they can
When you are on the street and see
a thing that is worth reporting, go
to the Office and tell about it. By
and by you will be allowed to put
such things on paper yourself. n
the morning you will notice that
they have been edited and a good
many of your words left out the
very strongest and best ones too
That will teach you to modify your
self. In due course you will drift
by natural and sure degrees into
daily and regular reporting and will
find yourself on the city editors
staff without any ones quite know
ing how or when you got there.
Fifth.-By this time you have be-
come necessary, possibly even in
dispensable. Still you are never to
mention wages. That is matter
which will take care Of itself. You
must wait. By and by there will
be vacancy on neighboring pa
per. You will know all the report
ers in town by this time, and one or
another of them will speak of you,
and you will be offered the place at
current wages. You will report this
good fortune to your city editor,
and he will offer you the same
wages, and you will stay where you
are. ~:
Sixth. - Subsequently, whenever
higher pay is offered you on another
paper, you are not to take the place
if your original employer is willing
to keep you at like price.-Mc.

No Need of Looking shabby Even Though
Times are Hard-Easy to Make old
Gowns and Suits Look Lii New
When One Knows How.
It is astonishing how much a be

Diamond Dyes to a fashionable color
and then made over so that it will
look almost like new. Suits for the
boys can be made from old ones dis
carded by the farther, and a bath in
Diamond Dyes will make them look
like new. Dresses and cloaks for
the little girls a be made with but
little trouble and scarcely any ex-
pense, from cast off garments of the
older folks. and when the color is
changed with Diamond Dyes, the
made-over will look as though they
were fresh from the dressmaker.
Diamond Dyes are made especially
for home use, and the plain directions
on each package make it impossible
for even the most inexperienced to
have poor luck with dyes. They
