Cannot stand in the Judgment - they
cannot stand long in the stern trial
which theworld has'for every business
man. But too many men misunder-
stand the meaning of the word work.
To many it means only manual labor;
to many farmers it looms up rs neces-
,sary and important above all other
things. For the sake OF their work
they will neglect their business. For
the sake Of their work they will pass
by opportunities of great value if they
were improved. The wise man spoke
of him who is .'diligent in business" as
worthy of the highest honor; not of
the man who is Q slave to his everyday
work.
There is nice problem confronting
every business man. 1t is what and
how much Of the drudgery OF detail of
his business he shall attend to person
ally. We have known man whose
time was worth several thousand dol
lars year to spend it on work that
cheap clerk could do as well. He was
losing something. We know farmers
and stockmen who are sticking at
home and at labor all the time who
ought to be attending to their bust
ness affairs instead of taking the place
of a hired hand. They are putting
their ability in at too low a price,
they are undertaking themselves. Con-
slider what work can be done most
effectively and do it. 1t may be that
writing letter will bring returns
enough to pay for laborer for sew
eral days. 1t may be that reading an
Article or an advertisement will be
worth more money than a months Ia
Dor. No man can lay down rule for
another in such matters, but if some
people would labor less and attend to
business more they would be better
off. Work is not ali manual labor, it
is the intelligent direction of energy
to the furtherance of business.-Na-
tional Stockman.

feet square. The meat is inserted
through the door in the side, which
should be no less than 20 inches wide,
and hinged at the lower part SO as
to let down from the top. Hooks
should be fastened to it, and staples
driven into the sides and top Of the
box, as indicated in the cut, to hold
the door in place when closed.
For hanging the meat, bore holes
through the top of the box and far
enough apart so that the pieces will
not touch when hung. Pieces of wire
work best for the purpose, one end
of which having been run through
the meat should be twisted together
with the other so as to form q loop,
and this inserted up through the au-
ger hole, where stick then pushed
through the loop will hold the ham
secure.
The device should be built on slop-
ing ground, provided such is avail
able, for then the fire that is to fur
nish the smoke can be placed at the
proper distance from the box and yet
have the smoke readily conducted to
it by means of several joints of old
stovepipe. The hole for the fireplace
should be about two feet deep and at
least six feet away from the box.
The trench for the stovepipe should
not be over one-half as deep, and dug
so that the upper end Of the stove
pipe will come out under the box near
the center; an old elbow joint makes
this very easy to do. The pipe, of
course, should be covered with the
loose dirt thrown out and. the sides
of the box banked up with earth, its
cracks being calked as much as pos
sible; for notwithstanding all the
precautions enough smoke will still
escape to, insure, the necessary
amount Of draught..&@@' Wy sqe

How much nearer to each other the
nations of the world seem to be to-day,
and really are to-day, than was the case
few decades ago. When weeks and
months were required for communication
between the United States and Europe,
the countries of the old world appeared
to be long way off. Now the circum.
ference of old earth is belted with tele-
graph and cable lines in every possible di-
rection. What happens to-day in Europe,
Asia, Africa, Australia, South America,
and the great islands of the sea, is made
known to us tomorrow by great news
papers like the Chicago Record Herald,
whose foreign news correspondents are
located in every important city in the
world outside of the United States. In
addition to its own staff correspondents
the Record Herald enjoys the foreign
news service of the New York Herald
famous for many years for the reliability
of its foreign news, and also of the New
York Tribune, and of that great cooper
alive news gathering organization, the AS.
ISOLATED Press. No other daily newspa.
per in America possesses facilities SC
varied and extensive for covering the
