AN uNDRSr1ADLE BOY.

ssThat b the eort of young men al- ways out of a job," said one. In aia- swcring a question about 8 certain fanny of boys.
 We are all familiar with the .'sovt. y Every business man has had his pa ttence worn down to q thin edge by tEe blunders, carelessness and stupidity of members of this undesirable leisure class" whom he has beeu persuaded to give a trial" Perhaps the place was given at the solicltaIon of some friend, perhaps because he was in need of immediate help, and must perforce take whatever offered itself-but one thing is always certain: The employ CT is tue one who has the .'trial," and it is only a question of time and pa- tience before the employed is turned out to graze in pastures ney.
 Not long ago young man Che Is 20 years old, and he ought to be a man), who five or six years ago was taken as an apprentice i'll the press room of 8 large printing office, but was dis charged after repeated blunders, the spoinng of several valuable orders, and an expensive injury to q new press, was taken back into the same office ''on trial" He had had various and varied ''jobs' since his dismissal, so he was in no position to grulnble at the work offered him-running q freight elevator. But the men who were de- layed by his dallying, sometimes i've ten, fifteen minutes, had reason to grumble, and they could not be blamed for improving the occasion. It was not only inconvenient but expensive when a large form was waiting to be taken from the composing room to the press room, to leave it and chase up stairs and down in search of the cle- vator boy. Forbearance came to an end when he was found in the base ment asleep, the elevator bell plugged with cotton. Now this desirable young man is again looking for a job.' If you had a place for q boy, would you hire this one? His address is to be had. .,.s
 In the same town where he lives there is another young man of the same age, who, by his faithfulness, diligence and application, has mastered the details of q complicated mechanism and won the respect and conndence of his superiors. Lately he was appoint ed to q position involving the greatest responsibility. Every sense must De OH tue cNCly uoCully SuAAu q moments forgetfulness or neglect might lead to results too dreadful to think of Alex is good for it; he is always on hand, and always to be trusted" say the men who know him.
 These are typical cases; the individ- uals composing the two classes are, to be found i'll every city and village in the land.
 The question for the boys in the schoolroom. and those who have been obliged to leave school to take up their share in the worlds work, is, To which class shall l belong?
 The world has need of you, boys, and it's richest treasures of service and achievement and success are yours if you are of the right sort: but it has nothing honorable or desirable to offer to the boy. youth or man who is perpet- ually "out of q job. Bee Cooper in American Boy.

How thoroughly Senator Ham

dominates the republic steering com. mittee of the senate is shown by the threats of cloture rule for the senate, if there is any attempt to flibuster against the ship subsidy or the army reorganization bill, that have come from that committee since congress re- convened. Whether those threats can be made effective will depend largely upon the backbone exhibited by repub- lican senators who are opposed to both bills. It is expected that before the army bill is voted upon a democratic substitute providing for continuance of the present strength of the army for two years from the first of next July will be offered.
