THE YOUNG OF FORTUNE TODAY
By Russell Sage.

A young man has more chances in the
world today than young men had when
l was a boy.
The boy that is climbing the ladder is
helped along in a thousand ways that
he was not GO years ago.
Willing hands are stretched out on
every side to assist him.
If a young fellow is bright, and not
SWEET and clean, he will get on.
I know New York l have seen 1t
larly interested in the business end.
Why, more than u half century g I
was hustling in the interest of the coun-
try up in Troy. There is \ nice town
for you! There was a default er up there

to the county 1 was employed to
straighten it out, and I did. I got the
money and returned 1T to the county. The
personal satisfaction that I experienced
at that time was an cement to
me. I have served the city, the state
and the nation since, but / do not re-

NO WAR WITH THE SULTAN.
BY Mundji Bey, Turkish Consul General
in New York.

There will be no war between America
and Turkey. The two countries have al
been friendly, n a paltry indem-
nifty of $50, 900 will never be allowed to
interfere with neir friendship.
Personally 1 did not know whether the
missionaries are right or wrong in their
demands. That is purely a local matter,
and u be decided by those who know
all the circumstances. But I am quite
sure that If the demands of the missions.
aries are right the Turkish government
will a them what they ask after a
roper investigation has been made.
| do not know of any cases similar: to
this, SO 1t is impossible to quite prece-
dents. On several occasions. when for
eign travellers have been captured by
Turkish brigands who held them for ram
som. the government of Turkey has paid
the ransom or imprisoned the %brigands
and allowed the travellers to &C free.
Is not this an evidence that the Turk
ish government wishes to treat all resi-
dent Foreigners with justice ana Impair
TALLY? III
The amount of trade between America
and Turkey is larger than is generally
supposed. In 1893 American exports to
Turkey were valued at $1,214, 789, and the
value of the imports from Turkey was
50, 437, 16O. ,E
Turkish exports consist Of carpets,
dried fruits, rugs and tobacco, and her
imports from this country ave hitherto
consisted mainly 10 machinery.
Turkey is not a manufacturing nation,
and there is no reason why a very much
larger tdade might not be carried on be-
tween the two countries.
The Turks people are great admirers
of American civilization. They have al
ways received fair treatment when deal
ing with American merchants. Aneri-
can merchandise is preferred to thu :
any other country. In the large towns
in Turkey you will see over the stores
these words painted on the signs: "Amer-
lean Watches" american Bicycles"
American Photographs" american
Dentist" and so forth.

Livingston, June 3.
sOne of the most delightful social events
remembered for it's beauty was given
Friday Afternoon by Mrs. Mentor Wetz-
stein, in homo of her guest, Mrs. Lee
Eisenberg of Billings. The parlors were
beautifully decorated with yellow roses
and carnations in great profusion and
the handsome toilettes of the ladies did
Justice to the occasion and surroundings.
The guests We're received by the hostess
assisted by Mesdames Lashorn and Gray.
The form of entertainment was progres-
sive euchre and was played at eleven TIA
bies. The head prize, a handsome cut
glass dish, was taken by Mrs. H. McCue
and the prize for the most lone hands,
also a very pretty cut glass dish, was
taken by Miss Belcher The consolation
prize, which went to Mrs. Daniels, was a
very unique arrangement, IT, was COM
posed of a covered pack of cards through
which, apparently, protru1ei a silver
fork with the following inscription writ
ten on it: 'If you use this fork three
times a day, perhaps in time you'll learn
to play"
A delicious punch was served during
the afternoon and a g~ramophone dis
coursed very entertaining selections. A
very dainty lunch was served at the con-
clusion of the card games after which
the guests departed for their homes hav-
ing spent a very enjoyable afternoon.

There is a we'll founded runor here
that the Northern Pacific intend to en-
large their shops, at this point, consid-
eraIbly. The head officials of the company
looked over the ground with this inten-
ton during their recent visit here. Plans
and specifications have already been
drawn up and are now in the hands of
the st. Paul officials. There is every in
dication hat the work will be COM
menced this fall. The most important
part of the contemplated improvements
will be the erection of a new machine
shop in which will be constructed a large
crane to facilitate the handling of the
large locomotives now in use on this di-
Vision and which at present are handled
With great Inconvenience for the want of
more room and larger machinery. This
is good news to the people of Livingston
as it means the shop force will be ma
terially increased.

(From the Modern Mexico.)

The aversion Of all Mexicans except the
lowest class to the adoption OF any voca-
ton that embraces manual labor. even in
Its earlier branches. is responsible for the
fact that practically all the important po-
sitions in the industrial development OF
the country are held by foreigners The
presidents. managers. and superintendent
OF the railroads. the factories. and tho
great mercantile establishments ere rarc-
ly Mexicans. In a measure this is the case
because these enterprises are largely own
ed by foreigners. who give preference to
their countrynen In filing positions. 1t is
also true that few Mexicaus are willing to
devote themselves to gaining the practical
knowledge indispensable to those who are
to be placed in positions Of responsibility
and administration.
The taste of the upper class is toward
the professions and the life of the ran
chero. The middle classes of necessity
enter business life, but they seek the Of
fee positions and their career develops
into a lifelong clerkship. 1t is a rare
exception to find any but member Of the
actual laboring class who begins work in
any practical line where Il thorough mas
