THE MAN WHO WORKS.
And the Man Who Gets Through
Things the Easiest Way He Can.

1.-THE man that is SO far advanced
that he likes the work he is doing"
said Mr.. Stoggleton, ''has reason to
feel hopeful of himself. I suppose that
the very great majority of us go
through the work we have in hand
the easiest way we can and get through
it, skipping the hard places when pos
sible and thinking We'll be glad when
it's finished; but the next job will be
just the same. There will be just about
so many hard places in it, and then
we'll be wishing just the same that we
could get through that job,
''The fact appears to be that we are
always trying to shirk the present job.
We mean well in feeble sort of way,
and the next thing we tackle are going
to do right up to the handle, but when
we strike that, when that becomes the
present work, don't we try to shirk
that too? We do, indeed. And that's
what we do all through life-daily put
ting off our best endeavors till to-mor.
row Kind of miserable thing to do,
isn't it?
but occasionally you meet a man
who puts in his best licks every day
and rejoices in the labor. He doesn't
care continental what the next day
is going to bring to him-he can handle
it, whatever it is. Just now he's en-.
gagged with to-day's labor, and he does
that up thoroughly and completely
and searches out the last nook and
Granny. He isn't trying to see what
he can pass by, but what he can root
out, and he goes home satisfied with
his work, and he's the one man in
thousand that leads all the rest, and
his pay corresponds with his labors. y

Fooled Them All,

The other morning pedestrians along
State street saw man suddenly rush
up to rain spout and begin vigorously
jamming his cane in the narrow open
ing. A minute later the familiar
squeaking of a rat pierced the air.
Women held their skirts and ran in
an opposite direction, while men and
boys crowded around the rainspout.
The man jammed harder and the
squeaks grew louder. People came
over from the opposite side and team
sters drew up to the curb.
"Stick amt long enough, misterp'

"Better get BRICK" advised sign

But the man with the cane was evil

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and Sc
cured large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that
the average person would never sus-
pect them of being spurious. Things
of great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably the
celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which has many imitators but no
equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, nervousness and general de-
bility. The Bitters sets things right in
the stomach, and when the stomach is
in good order it makes good blood and
plenty of it. In this manner the Bit
ters get at the seat of strength and vi
tality, and restore vigor to the weak
and debilitated. Beware of counter
feits when buying.

When the Nicaragua Canal Treaty
was first sent to the Senate, there was
an outcry against it, because it pro-
vided for the neutrality of the canal
and pledged this government not to
fortify either end oft In agreeing to
neutrality the United States simply
aims to be the greatest commercial ma
ton in the world, rather than military
bully among nations. In negotiating
the treaty President Mckinley and
Secretary Hay recognized the fact that
this country has a Navy and will al
ways have one strong enough to meet
any enemies it may have, and that
much more would be gained by assur-
ing the world of the neutrality of the
canal than could possibly be gained by
fortifying it and reserving the right to
close it against the ships of any nation
with which we might be at war. In
making the canal neutral, it will be
under the joint protection of every
protection will be assured by formal
treaty, later and its safety from at
tack from any country with which we
may be ut war, made certain. If we
reserved the right to close the canal to
enemies, we should have to assert that
right by force, which would be more
costly than beneficial, from any point
of view.-dmaolor Ledger.

Irrigation and Manufacturing.

Many of the manufacturers of the
country are awakening to the fact that
national irrigation is subject in which
they are very directly interested. The
problem is not an intricate one. Every
merchant is looking for new accessible
markets in which to exploit his goods.
If irrigation shall reclaim ten or twenty
or a hundred million acres of fertile
land in the West and people it with as
dense a population as exists in the
East, it does not take any remarkable
business acumen to see how the manu-
facturer profits thereby.

In country school, literary exer-

their neighborhood and all of them are
liars, at least all know, and l only

When He Ran.

The latest story from Scotch shoot
ing box is that reported by the New
York Telegraph, which says that a
young lady much admired by a young
man staying at the same house, was
kissed by him one day, greatly to her
indignation. 'If you dare to kiss me
again." she said, ~ must tell my
father" Kiss her again the ardent
lover did. Upon this she fled to her
fathers room, where she happened to
find him examining gun "Oh papa,n
she exclaimed, do run downstairs
and show Mr.. H your new gun.
He is so interested in guns" every
well, dear" was the good natured re-
ply, and down went the unsuspecting
father. AT the sight of the girls pa
rent armed with his gun the young
man fled precipitately. That girl must
have had sense of humor, there is no
doubt.

EXCUSES FOR THE PRESSURE.

Good Ones.

The Water Company, on the other
hand, made number of explanations
and excuses. One was that the pressure
was turned on as quick as asked Mr..
Ernest Balm who was in charge at the
water tower said his official record show
ed that the pressure was A. to start
with, was increased when the alarm was
turned in to - and before the fire was
over it was 105.
Mr.. Julius Lewis, president of the
Water Company, explained the lack of
pressure by saying that the pump man
was not at the water works at the time,
but was in the city attending court.
Still another stakeholder gave us an
excuse the cold weather, saying that
people, fearing their water pipes would
freeze had been leaving them running
over night and this had lowered the
pressure.

A PRETTY PROGRAM
Modest Request of Roads for
Time in Tax Case.
Chairman Mcneil Says a Month and a Half For
Each Side is Enough While til Roads
Want 9 Months For Themselves.

Il think that Il month and q half on
either side ought to be ample time for
the taking of testimony in the railroad
tax case said Chairman Mcneil of the
Corporation Commission, yesterday. IN
response to Il question. The attorneys
for the railroads have asked Judge ST.
monton for fifteen months. six for each
side and three months to take evidence in
rebutta, but we shall resist this as
altogether unnecessarily and unreasona-
bly, long
The attorneys for the State will meet
today and confer with the Corporation
Commission as to what time will be
sufficient to take testimony before
Standing Master Shepherd. 1t is not
probable that amy tine longer than three
months for each side will be agreed
on Judge Common will come down
from Wilson this morning to meet with
local counsel, Messrs. Simmons, Pou &
Ward, john w Hinsdale and J. G. T..
Harris
The request Of the attorneys for the
roads that fifteen months be allowed
Tor taking testimony makes it plain that
Their program is just what the News and
Observer asserted it to be immediately
after Slmonton referred the case to the
standing commissioner This program
is to get the matter tied up in the courts
indefinitely in order that the argument
may be made to the legislature. which
meets in June and again next January
that the ease is pending in the courts
and that it would be heinous offense
for the Legislature to step in and make
the roads pay their part of the taxes.
Thus if fifteen months should be agreed
upon the taking Of testimony would not
be finished until after the session of the
Legislature in 1901. If under this pro-
gram the two successive Legislature
could be stood off with the plea that tie
matter was in the courts the roads
would escape the payment of their taxes
for 1899, 1900 1901 and 1902: not
until the meeting Of the General As
sembly of 1903 would there be an
opportunity for compelling the pay
ment of these taxes without
it bei1f. urged that the action
Of the courts was being forestaled.
Then when taxes for four years on Il
reasonable valuation had been avoided.
and when Simonton had been given to
understand that the time was ripe for
one of his usual decisions in favor of the
roads. If the General Assembly should
take the bull by the horns and pass an
act compelling payment upon fair
basis other suits could be started and
the final settlement Of the vexod nrob-
lem again put off to an indefinite day
1t is Il beautifully arranged plan. ev-
cry part of which dovetails as nicely as
can he desired. Six months. nine months
or y months won't do. That would
give the General Assembly of 1901 a far
whack ut the question. but fifteen
months is the proper caper. The Legs
lature will have adjourned by then-and
Simonton would do the rest.
