could not help thinking how unfit he
 was for a days work. I suppose he
 would have been offended if his em- ployer had paid him for that day's service, not by the hour but by the amount of energy he put into his
 work As to pleasure? Of course every person needs some and can have it and not incapacitate himself for good work. AS to turning night into day and going to work in the morning physically unfit, as many do. who will say that an emlloye can dc it and feel the same interest in his work and discharge his duties as well? An em- ploye should feel as much interest in doing his work well as he does in get ting his pay promptly.
 One of the most searching tests that can be made of a persons moral char acter is that of the degree of faithful ness with which he does his work One can understand what the employer meant when he said that he wished his
 men had been taught that it is dis l honest fer them to take their pay and not to do their work faithfully Let us see. If a person is taking $10 a week for his services and only dces four 1 fifths of his work he is receiving $2 for which he gives nothing in return. Hundreds of employees who would not take a cent from the money drawer do not seem to realize that it is wrong tO take wages and not give an equivalent in labor
 Turn the tables a minute If an emplCye worked full time and his em- ployer paid him for only four-fifths of the time, let's of things would be said by the employe, among them that he was being cheated out of his honest due. In the one case the employe does not do what he agreed to do, and in the other case the man for whom he works fails to keep his contract. Fair questions: Is the debt of labor any less sacred than the debt Of wages? Think of the hours of labor which are paid for and the money not earned; time robbed by employees being late, being physically unfit for their work On account of loss of sleep, and the general lack of interest in their duties For the man who is risking his capital in business, and who has the bills to meet when they come due, it is nat ural that he should expect the people in his employ to manifest an honest interest in what they are doing.

KNOW THIS SALEsGIRL?

Pardon me! But some of the young women clerks need a word here We mean those young women who divide their time with the customer and the salesgiris next to them. The customer must summon courage to ask to be shown more goods, for she must break into a trivial conversation being car. ried on about What Will said last night" or Pink will be prettier" Meanwhile the customer waits and wishes that Will would lose no time in marrying this girl, so that her place could be taken by a saleswoman who would pay attention to customers, and do her chatting at some other time.

FAULT-F1NDING FMPLOYES.

| Do not expect your employer to take
 a great interest in your welfare until you show him that you are taking an equal interest in his business, and are endeavoring to do all you can to pro-
 mote it's welfare Do not find fault
 with him, and then wonder why he does not advance your salary more
 rapidly, or take you into the firm right
 away. Learn this truth: Employers
 are not the chief factors in the ad-
 yancement of employees. When a
 young man realizes the meaning Of
 this statement, and begins to put it
 ill practice, he is headed toward sue cess. Many a clerk has put his whole
 energy into "a business and worked
 hard for years, studying every detail Of the business, and finally made him
 self so valuable to his employer that
 he had either to advance him, or be the loser by not doing it. Some men
 have forced themselves into firms in just this way. Do not be surprised if you do not get ahead in business if you are not straining every nerve to this end. Success in life is a costly thing, but one can generally have it if he will pay the price for it.
 The way is still open. Most employ CTS were once working for other peo- Die. Some Of them are where they are new because they saved their money until they had enough to make start in business. They denied themselves some of the good times that their friends were having, for they knew that this was the way for them to get the first thousand dollars. They went into business and denied themselves still in order that they might draw out as little money as possible so as to get along the faster. They have succeed ed, but by denial, hard work and the weight Of many responsibilities. You have the same right. Let no man get the idea that his employer is lying awake nights in order to study out plan to get ahead of him in some way If you accept his money, he is entitled to your best service. Give it cheer fully. You will not be the loser by So doing. After all, these employers are entitled to just what you would be if you were hiring others. What would you expect of people in your employ?

4 CLERG YMAN'.S VIEWS.

The Messenger OF Hops, edited 10y
Key w. j. Smith, Superintendent oil

prints an Interesting editorial on ire
GHent lynchings. Among other
things, 1t says:
eve know, Of course, the origin o.
lynch law, and we know the reasons
that are often brought forward in its
vlndication, but alas it is no longer
confined to the one crime against
which, 1t was first directed, but almost
any crime which stirs up the righteous
| indignation of community Is sufli-
cient to gather together a mob for the
speedy punishment of the offender.
Now, no right-minded person, would
say that these crimes should not be
punished, nor can it be denied that
they often meet with just the punish
nent they deserve, but the point is,
the persons who infict the punish
inent have no right to do it. They
not only disobey the commands OF
God, but they also violate the laws of
the State and nation, which they have
sworn to support. These are suffi-
Client reasons for condemnlng lynch
law ; but another reason is that as a
means to an end it is failure. So far
from preventing crime, we believe that
1t often tends to produce more crime.

ABOUT READING BOOKS.

ABOUT READING BOOKS.
"Wondrous indeed is the virtue {
true hook "-CARLYLE
The great mind of Carlyle ne, er cor
ceiyed truer thought nor cid his &C
tive pen ever write truer sentence.
Recently we heard one oerlorin,
the fact that the masses O! the peopl
are wofu!:x ignorant. And we par
italy agreed with him. Not so ignor
ant, to be sure, about passing events
for perhaps tie masses of the peopl,
were meyer more alive to the news ane
gossip, OF the passing hour than they
are to day. And there is a reason thai
1t should be 50 ; and the reason is that
meyer before have the people had such
opportunity for knowing things of the
present. The grea. multiplicity oil
cheap newspapers ard magazines makes
1t possible for anyone who wishes to
do so to keep pretty we'll up with PASS
Ing things at very small COST And we
do not mean that this is not the cor
rect thing to do; but the tendency is
to rely too much on such mediums as
newspapers and magazines for inte!li-
gence and general mental pabulum to
the exclusion of books.
To any one who makes close observa-
ton it is very clear that fewer books
are read and studied now in COMPARE
son with the number OF NEWSPAPERS
and magazines than formerly. Is it
because papers and magazines are so
cheap? Well, one would think so, per-
haps, at first but as matter of fact
books are now made and sold as CORE
spondlngly cheap as newspapers and
magazines. Then wherein lies the
cause for the voraclous reading of the
daily, weekly and monthly prints to
the neglect of books? Perhaps no one
can sum it up, and we do not propose
to try 1t here but as We observe II.
such Is the case with the masses.
There is more in this than appears
at first thought, perhaps, and especial
~ to the young Now, we would not
Tor moment say to the young men
and the young women OF the land that
they ought not to read papers and
on the other hand we would {
encourage it. But we would also suggest
that they be careful about the char {
acfer of the papers and magazines
which they read. And we would en-
phas'ze especially the Importance of
as much good book reading as possible. T
No matter it you do not know the lat. c
est sensational story In some of the (
no matter if you have not c

sirable that every one keep up with Il

lines the less one knows of certain re
l1nds OF news the better. ly
Then, to the young, whom we have CT
