DO A LITTLE WORK WELL.

A gentleman seeking employment
and assistance, writes letter which
it is cross and burden to read. 1t
is scratched, and scrawled, and scrib
bled; it is hurried and slovenly and
jumbled; the lines ascend and de-
scend, and it's whole aspect is that of
carelessness, haste, and disorder.
And yet this is not through ignorance
or inexperience, for the writer is
graduate "with honors" of one of the
most noted of English universities,
and has been in respectable and re-
sponsible positions, and is intelligent
and doubtless conscientious. What
then is the cause of such an abomin
able scrawl as this, which in itself
would be well nigh sufficient to bar
ones way, and cause any application
made to be received with disfavor?
1t is probably simply through haste,
and such haste as binders the proper
performance of work which is under
taken. Such haste is wasteful. 1t
results in turning out half finished and
worthless work, and in causing care
full men at a great expense of time
and labor, to go over work which, had
it been properly done, they might
have avoided to their great advantage.
Is it any wonder that such men are
unemployed?
1t is an important lesson to learn
that little work we'll done is of more
value than large amount done in a
slovenly, i'll adjusted, and half finished
manner. Probably thousands of peo-
pie are out of work simply because
everything they do needs to be done
over again in order that it may be
right. There are such marks of
slovenliness and inaccuracy in all
their doings that no prudent man
would dare to accept what they had
done without examination, or endorse
their statements without veri6cation.
Such people do themselves great in
justice, they are capable of much
better work than they do; and the
result is they lose positions which
they might worthily fill, if they would
only use the careful olllgence winch
is the prerequisite of all completeness
and excellence.
Let the young especially learn the
lessonAof doing little work well, so
we'll that no one could find fault
with it or with them. Let them, if
they would avoid failures and dis
grace, see 60 it that nothing leaves
their hands until it is done as we'll as
it is possible for them to do it. Then
there may still be defects which only
greater wisdom and greater expert
ence can reveal, but they will not in
suit ADLER, moro experienced and in
telligent persons, by asking them TO
correct errors which they themselves
might easily have corrected if they
had only taken ordinary pains to do

Farming a Great Business.

The experience of different men in
farming shows that farming is a good
and successful business, on either a
large scale or a small scale, when con-
Quoted on true business principals.
We know several men who have made
great successes on small farms; some
of them less than fifty acres; we also
know men who have started in with a
single, small farm, made enough to
buy another and still another, until
they had thousands of acres and still
made a success of them. They made
money on them, too, whether they
farmed themselves or leased the farms
to others. The essential principal in
farming on large scale or small is
business sense. The man who has
business sense, who exercises the
same care and Judgement i'll farming
that he would in business, who per-
mits no unnecessary losses or wastes
and looks as carefully after details as
every successful man does in COM
mercial or manufacturing business
will be certain to make a great sue
cess.-ErchGnge.

Sucher, the new commander of the Second regiment This is q formal proceeding and it is in accord with military ethics. It is not at all i'm probable that Colonel Sucher will make reappointmentS of some of those who have resigned. First Lieutenant and Quartermaster Matthew 4. Key holds of this city will not return to the staff. He announced his intention of feSignlng some time ago and he de SlfeS no reappOlntment. AS for other changes it is reported that eN-Lieu- tenant Young of the Blues is . candi- date for appointment on the coloneFs staff as inspector of small arms prac- time in place of Captain Daniel l.. Barber of Wallingford. Captain Lau- tensack. q former officer of Company E, is said to be a candidate for the same place on the staff.
 Major McCabe has one appointment to make of 0 battalion adjutant to succeed Lieutenant Charles F. Smith, resigned. Sergeant Kraft of the Grays is out for this place. Major Tillson, the junior major. has two appoint nents of battalion adjutant and q sergeant major. He has not yet an- nounced what his plans are.
 The talk of the resignation among the captains who had been jumped by the election of Captain Tillson is wan ing and it is now believed that matters have been smoothed over and there will be no resignations.

 Rockford, III, Jan 1o.-Elijah w. Blaisdell. one of the founders of the Republican party and who is said to have been the first man to propose the name of Abraham Lincoln for the pres- 1dency is dead.
 MT Blaisdell had been q resident of Rockford for forty y-seven years, and during the time was newspaper pub fisher. an author, lawyer, real estate dealer and politician.
 Alr Blaisdell was born at Mont peiler, Vt, in 1926.

 Shortly after this AIr Blaisdell at tended the convention at Springfield and listened to the great slavery speech Of Abraham Lincoln. The trend of the speech led the editor to urge Lincoln for the presidential nom- nation of the republican party, then forming.

 If you get a bigger one than I did l will agree to carry it back to camp,' yelled Smith to Zuckmaier as he start ed out.
 "Ill take that proposition" replied Zuckmaier, as he shot around the point of little island
 It lacked an hour of the appointed time for starting to camp when Smith and his party returned to the place from which we had separated from Zuckmaier and Frazer at noon. and they did not put in an appearance for another 90 minutes. but when their canoe finally rounded the island Zuck- maier was yelling like a Camanche Indian, while Frazer was straining away at the paddle as though he was towing a log raft.

 The Girl-We seem to meet SO often afternoons-quite by chance.
 The Boy-1t's one of those coinci- dences-you go by certain hour every day.
 The Girl-And you are always there.
 The Boy-And it seems az though we always have something to gay.
 The Girl-That's why our friendship is so delightful. l get so tired of senti- ment!
 The Boy-It's such rot-anyhow- but you know there are very few girls like you. Most of them expect mar to throw bouquets at them all the time. Now, you
 The Girl-Oh. I hate tkat sort of thing! When first met you-and real. ized that you weren't that kind of 8 man-I was so relieved! found my. self interested in you, because saw al once that you regarded me as a human being, irrespective of sex.
 The Boy-Well, rather! had mel lots of girls. and they ylseemed so alike
 The Girl-That was my experience with men. They seemed to think gir, .@santed silly compliments all the time The Boy-But we can talk rationally l find myself wishing to consult yor about even the most ordinary things. , find your point of view is more direc' than my own. You look straight al things. I blink.
 The Girl-You never do quite ope1 your eyes, do you? Let's see-gray blue eyes mean that you are very de termined-you will be quite desperate when you fall in love.
 The Boy-Never intend to-it's toe slow! What does the color of your eye, mean? Look at me. I knew they wert black. If you should ever love-ther. would be TO half way about it.

The Duke of York and the Caddie.
 Apropos of the pleasant custom re- gently mentioned in M. A. P in Paris of President Loubet sharing his cigars with his gamekeeper, Driault, when out shooting at Rambouillet, a cor respondent sends the following: Tt is we'll known that the duke of York includes golf among his pet pastimes When on the golf links at Angles near Gossport, he usually employs one particular lad as caddie. This boy. be- sides the honor of having tramped many mile in the dukes company. can also lay claim to the distinction of hav- ing shared a unique lunch with his fu- ture king. The incident occurred on the above mentioned links. when duke and caddie paused for little we'll earned refreshment. The duke. after mopping his brow, pulled a flask from his pocket and offered the youngster a
 drink. The boy declined the offer with thanks. saying that he was teetotaler. The duke warmly commended the lad for this, and thereupon offered him something more substantial-a ham sandwich. The caddie took it eagerly. the duke took another, and the simple meal was shared by the oddly-assorted pair with that hea-thy hunger which is the common heritage of prince and pauper alike.
