MARK TwAIN'S ADVICE.
When Taken, 1t Always Landed a
Man in a Comfortable Position.

Mark Twain has found situations for
many man in an unique way When
any one asked him for help along that
line he would write the delighted ap-
plicant cordial affirmative, asking
him TO pick out any position he pre-
ferred, 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 We're carried out in good
faith, they landed the worker at the
top Of the ladder. Here they are:
Formula: % BY a benefcent law of
our human nature, every man is ready
and willing to employ any young fell
low who is honestly anxious to work
for nothing.
CD A man once wonted to an employe
and satisfied with him is loath to part
with him and give himself the trouble
of breaking in a new man.
Let US practice upon these foibles.
Instructions: ID You are to apply
for work at the office of your choice.
CD You are to go without recon-
mendations. You are not to mention
my name, nor any ones but your own
CD You are to say that you want no
kind of work-you make no stipulation;
you are ready to sweep out, point the
pencils, replenish 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 q PEN
nyWorth of remuneration. n. B--You
will get the place, whether the man be
a generous one or. a selfish one
"a 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, in
vent it. You will be popular there
pretty soon and the boys will do you
good turn whenever they can, When
you are on the street and see a thing
that is worth reporting, go to the Of
flee and tell about it, BY and by you
will be allowed to put such things on
paper yourself. In 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
yourself. 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, with
out any ones quite knowing how or
when you got there
(5) BY this time you have become
necessary; possibly even indispensable.
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 a vacancy on a neighbor-
ing paper You will know all the re-
porters 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
(6) 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.-McClure' Magazine.

When Maria Jane is Mayor.
When Maria James elected to the Mayor-
atty chair
There'L be many wrongs corrected that
are now apparent there.
The sidewalks will be carpeted, the
streets swept twice a day,
The alleys be as fragrant as fields of
new-mown hay.
What with parties and receptions and oc-
casionany a ball,
There will be transformation around
And each ward in the city will be repre-
Sented then
By lovely Alderwomen, and not horrid AL
dermen
When Maria Jane is Mayor, none but la
dies will, Of course,
Be appointed members of the city police
force;
And in their bloomer uniforms they'll look
so very sweet :
The gang to be arrested will consider 1t a
treat.
The stores will be compelled to have a
bargain sale each day,
And for chewing gum and soda you'll not
be asked to pay.
Great reforms will be projected. all the
wrongs will be corrected,

Manager Van Osten's energy, enter
prise and business ability Is due this
revelation in the theatrical world. The
question naturally arises, How can he
do it?" The answe Is very simple: by
securing artists in the various roles who
are capable Of rendering them intelli-
gently" In order to do this It was nee
essary to have a lead for each play and
Willard Lee, Miss Ella Warren Harmon
and Miss Inez Mecusker play the leads
in the dramas, thus guaranteeing the ex-
cellence of each production. All OF
these stars q V secured recognition In
the front rank OF the profession and in
addition they have been surrounded by
n superb company OF actors, such as
Charles w. Meyer, Edmund Elton, Al
bert Kranz, Miss Bertha B. Elton,
Kathryn 81. Evans and La Petite Lii
llan. !
The plays offered are not such as
originate In dime novels or over-worked
failures, but are all standard produc-
lions and such as have stood the test of
excellence, besides several new ones
which are seldom seen outside Of the.
Metropolitan cities and never attempted
by less competent companies, as they re-
quire skill, ability and artistic interpret
tation. The company opens here to-
night In THE Heart Of the Storm,
Prices are 10, 20 and 80 cents, !,
