YOUNG ITEMS ENEMIES
How They Puncture Holes in q
Young rlan's Business
Prospects

"Girls are by far too apt to
thoughtlessly punch holes in the
business prospects of the young
men of their acquaintance" writes
Edward Box in the October
Ladies' Home journal. "They
work this mischief in various
ways. They consider it great fun
to step to a telephone, for example,
and ring up some young man
while he is at his office, only to
send him some unnecessary mes
sage or indulge in some fiippant
talk. They are forgetful of the
fact that what may be rare sport
at their end of the line may cause
serious EN- barrassment or worse to
the young man at the other end.
Even if the young man enjoys it,
his employer does not. Sending
unnecessary or even fancied neces-
sary notes to young men at their
offices during business hours is
another favorite 'pastime' of girls.
Sometimes the fun is carried
further by meeting young man
at his luncheon hour, or by even
calling at his Office. Again, even
more dangerous element is in
troduced by girls urging young
men to leave their offices before
closing hours to escort them to
some place of amusement, some
game, or to train.
"The danger in these acts is not
in themselves, but in the injurious
distractions which they mean.
Business hours, though doubtless
they seem inexplicably long to
girls, are, in reality, all too short
for the accomplishment of things
necessary to young mans sue
cess. Hence every moment when
he is at business should be prec-
ious to the right sort of young
man. His mind should be focused
on the problems before him,
which mean either his success or
his failure"
The Florence daily tribune., 1898-09-26

The Victor Record hits the nail
on the head when it says that Gen
eral Alger ought to kick himself a
few times for appointing incompe-
tent civilians with distinguished
names to positions of trust and
honor.
In too many instances important
commissions were granted to men
whose only qualifications were in
the fact that each was the son of
his father. The result is the con-
demnation OF officers who with
the support and aid of others
equally competent, could have
satisfactorily conducted the affairs
of their department and averted
the suspicious that are resting on
them.
Efficiency in the military is GER
tainly as essential as it is in the
civil departments of the country,
although in the latter political and
personal influence sometimes cuts
more of figure than does a mans
actual ability and fitness.

Rates Reduced. Time Changed


On and after August 14th all
classes of tickets will be honored
on the Burlingtop's Chicago
Special without additional charge
the extra fare having been abolish
ed.
On the same date, a slight
change will be made in the
Specials schedule. 1t will leave
Denver at 9:l5 a. M, reaching
Chicago at 4:25 the next after
noon-in time to connect with
afternoon and evening trains for
the Atlantic seaboard as we'll as
for such comparatively nearby
points as Detroit, indianapolis,
Louisville, Cleveland, Cincinnati
and Buffalo.
No deterioration in the superb
service offered by the Chicago
Special will occur as a result of
changes noted above. That it will
continue to be, as it has been in
