why So Many Young Men Fau

zone trouble with many young men
who start out in business Is they try TO
do too many things ut once" says Het-
~ Green. The result is that they
don't know as much as they ought to
about any one thing. and they natural
ly fail. The trouble with young men
who work on salaries is that they're
always afraid of doing more than
they're paid for. They don't enter into
their work with the right spirit To
get on and be appreciated young man
must do more than he's paid to do.
When he does something that his en-
ployer has not thought of, he shows
that he is valuable. Men are always
willing to pay good salaries to people
who will think OF things for them.
The man who only carries out the
thoughts and ideas of another is moth
ing more than a mere tool. Men who
can be relied upon are always in de-
mand.. The scarcest thing in the world
today is thoroughly reliable man."

The abandoned team found on the turnpike
near this place on Tuesday of last week, a
full account of which appeared IN THE
CHRONICLE last week, has been returned to
It's owner, near Bermudian, Pa. 1t appears
that :hc horse and buggy had been hired by
a young man on Sunday evening, Nov 18th,
to take drive and left it standing in front
of house. When he came out of the house
to return to his home he was greatly SUR
prised to find that the team was gone. W..
Smrach, High Constable Of Hanover, Pa,
sent postal card to the Sheriff of Frederick
county giving description of the stolen
team. The card and a copy of THE CHRoN-
1oLE reached Frederick about the same time.
Deputy Sheriff Rowe, after reading the de-
scription of the abandoned team in the paper
telegraphed Officer Smeach that the team
was in the possession ofConstable Asbbaugh
OF Emmitsburg. Smeach came to this place
on Saturday last, secured the team and re-
turned it to its owner near Bermudian. -

He Was A Human Torch.

DALLAs, TEXAS, Dec. 3rd.-Screams OF
agony coming from a saloon in East Dallas
today caused an investigation which resulted
in finding Pate Balm seated In chair un'
able to moye and his garments mass OF
flames.
Patrolman who answered Bain's cries says
Eugene Faulkner and j. W. Chapman were
sta nding behind the bar smoking cigars and
watching the unfortunate man, who was be-
ing.roasted to death.
Bring some water here quick" shouted
one of the patrolman.
Get 1t yourself" they say one of the men
retorted. Let him die. What's the use OF
worrying over him'"
One of the patrolmen took off his coat and
with it beat out the fire. The man WAS sent
to the City Hospital, where he died later.
Soon after his arrival at the hospital the two
men were brought before him for identified.

had been destroyed.
1t is said by the officers that Balm WAS
drugged and as he reclincd in char uncon'

was literally roasted When the heat and
pain had partially revived him he called

Keeping IL Up.

The Catoctin Furnace property was ad-
yer,ised to be sold on the 22nd ult.: failure
to advertise in more than one newspaper
prevented the sale. 1t was Immediately re-
advertised by the receivers for sale on De-
cember 26th About two days thereafter one
Lawrence Morris came along, paid the re-.
ceivers the amount due, principal and inter-
est, and then ad dvertsed 1t for sale himself as
assignee, changing the date to December
goth. Thus far no further change has been
noted in the situation.
The property has been perfect bonanza
to the legal fraternity and Frederick City
newspapers during the past ten or twelve
years. should it get into the hands of some
real owner and ca pable party, and do busi-
ness for like period of time without the
intervention OF receivers, trustees, solicitors
and newspapers, it will mean comparatively
dull times In Frederick. but the people out
this way who, during the past decade, have
had to be content with Catoctin skim milk,
should then recall the ancient lichness ofthe
real short.horn Catoctin cream. 1t has been
a protracted season of "Hope deferred that
maketh the heart sick" but We still have the
hope that this great industry will be pre-
served to the people of this section.
