To Young Folk,

will tell you something of the lives
of two men with whom Twas acquaint-
ed, which will serve to illustrate what
| want to call your attention to.
One of these men was the grandson
of one Of the first manufacturers to
apply machinery to the manufacture
of cloth i'll this country and bore his
name. He had, when young, none of
what people usually call bad habits; he
neither smoked nor drank, was healthy.
active and quick to learn; had all the
money he needed and more too, with
out ever having earned cent. Here
was mistake-he had no idea Of the
value of money or of time, but lived
careless, needless life; drifted into bad
habits and died years ago, of no good
use in the world and dishonor to his
parents.
The other man when young started
on the shoe bench, with nothing except
what he could earn with his hands and
no advantages of education. Having
saved some money he started for an
academy determined to learn. From
this on it was study, work and work,
study until he secured a diploma as
NJ. d. Soon after he started a sani-
tarium where he received young peo-
pie out of health and endeavored TO
build them up and make them hale,
hearty and strong in body, and at the
same time train them mentally. He
surrounded himself with the most i'm
proved methods of doing both. He
died within a year, honored and
respected
Now what l want to call your at
tention to is the difference in the lives
of these two persons. One had an
object in life and worked diligently;
the other drifted. Mckinley and
Dewey are not made of driftwood; :;
neither are any of the good business
men and women in this or any other
community. Don't drift-work, and
work with an object. Aim high and
then put forth all there is in you to
reach your IDEAL ~

A Splendid Promotion,

Willard Fisher, agent for the Wis
cOnsin Central here, has been given &
splendid promotion by the company.
He was called to Milwaukee yesterday
and the officials offered him the posi-
ton Of travelling freight agent. The
promotion was such a desirable one
that Mr.. Fisher accepted and expects
to assume his new duties on the first of
the year. AS general agent for the
company Mr.. Fisher is in line for rapid
promotion to still higher positions if
he displays the right ability and his
past record is an indication that he
will do it. Mr.. Fisher is an Ashland
young man who has lived here nearly
all of his life and his advancement step
by step with such regularity is very
gratifying to the citizens. The people
OF Ashland will regret however that
his new position will require his resi-
dence elsewhere. AS travelling freight
agent he will make his Headquarters
in Eau Claire and will move to that
town with his bride.-Ashland News.

The Pittsburg Times comes to the

be good all-around newspaper ne
glecting no opportunity to entertain
its readers and sparing no effort or
expense to get the news accurately
and promptly. While it is Republican
in politics it endeavors to be fair in
discussion. Overlooking no field of
human interest, it is carefully edited
and courts the favor of the fireside
rather than the applause of sensation
mOngers. For reference it submits to
the unbiased judgment of newspaper
men anywhere in the territory in
which it circulates. Three dollars a
year or six cents a week.

Paid for Doing Good Work.

The Swedes have a custom which
might proftably be copied by other
nations. In the mines of that country
the workmen have their tools sharpen
ed by special blacksmith, and he is
paid, not by the number of tools
sharpened, but by the number of yards
bored by the miners whose instruments
he has sharpened during the month.
Thus, when the smith is skillful and
does his best he makes more money
than he does when his work is not
well done, and there is decided gain
all around.
