THE YOUNG MANS CHANCES.
Such Opportunities to Win Success
Have Never Before Been Offered.

"A young man of capacity, indus
try and integrity has field for indi-
vidual effort such as has never before
existed in this country" writes Ed
ward Box in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. "And success is neither harder
nor easier than it ever was. Success
never yet came to the laggard, and it
nevre will. Let a young man be cap
able, have enterprise, be willing to
work, and carry himself like man,
and he goes where he will His sue
cess depends upon himself. No times,
no conditions, no combinations of cap
ital can stop a young man who has a
determination to honorably succeed,
and who is willing to work according
to the very utmost of his capacity and
sinews of strength. The real trouble
is that the average young man won't
work. He has gotten the insane no
ton into his head that success comes
by luck; that men are made by oppor-
tunities which either come to them or
are thrust upon them. And he waits
for luck or a chance to come along
and find him. Instead of taking q sane
view of conditions and seeing with a
clear mind that as trade widens oppor-
tunities increase, he takes the mis-
taken view that the rich. are getting
richer and the poor poorer. These are
the conditions of mind and life which
are keeping thousands of young men
down, and will keep them down. The
times are all right. 1t is the young
man who finds fault with them who
is not"

In another column will be found
most interesting interview with Sir
Thomas Upton about the boat with
which he proposes to lift the cup that
symbolizes the superiority of American
yachts ever the yachts of any other ma
ton that sails the seas. If he can beat
the Constitution, no other maritime ma
tion is likely to challenge his possession
of the trophy. There is no doubt that
the Shamrock II is a dangerous boat.
BLOW high or blow low" Sir Thomas
says, 1.-The Shamrock II will be equally
at home. She can sail before a gale or
enter drifting match with equal show
OF success" The best evidence of the
foreign boats quality is the tone of the
betting, which is about even. English
sports have SO far sent across the water
about $4,000 to wager on the Sham
rock II, and they are asking odds. Blu,
odds are not conceded, and the result is
that the betting is light so far, and dol
lar for dollar Sir Thomas may win, bu,
every true American will hope that HI
will gain nothing on this side except {
warm welcome and a square deal.

ut is true that the kitchen checker

at is true that the kitchen checker
must get good wages, as 1t requires
person quick at figures, who knows the
dishes and keeps the run of the prices,
and who can foot up a bill with suffi-
cient celebrity to avoid keeping a line Of
waters until their orders get cold. But
in any large establishment the amount
saved will much more than pay the
amount saved will much more than pay
the salary of the kitchen checker.
1T is, of course, possible for the
kitchen checker to be in collision with
dishonest waiter and mark down bills
for him when he knows that his GUS
toner will whack up. Such a collision
| is very dangerous one for proprietor,
but a man who does not keep his eyes
open for such games will not make
| money in keeping a restaurant.
1.-The only way to do in such a case is
| to make an example of both the kitchen
checker and the waiter. 1t is a long
road between the pantry and the till.
but every step Of 1T must be watched
with a jealous eye, and the kitchen
checker is the last Waterman.
| Formerly kitchen checkers were
mostly men. Latterly women have
worked into the business and some of
them are quite adept and skillful. Not
many years ago it was the custom at
some Of the lage restaurants to take the
customers word. No checks were used
| Then as each man finished eating he
would go up to the counter and say
what he had eaten and the cashier would
figure up the bill.
1T was found that the customers did
not always tell the truth. The system Of
checks to be given by walters was Their
introduced and went on for many years
until the little games of the walters will
their favorites were exposed. Last comes
the kitchen checker, a device of Later

Before the supreme court yesterday
Manager Frank Klepetko stated that
the eight-hour law had not increased
the cost of smelling because the en-
ployes, he said, worked harder during
eight hours than during ten. This is
valuable information coming from q
high authority. What is true in the
smelters is true in the mines, and thus
while the red metal shall continue in
fair demand at living prices, it may be
said that the eight-hour day is one Of
the permanent reforms Of Montana. 1t
is in equal favor with both capital and
labor Eight hours Of toll in any in
dustry involving danger to life and limb
ought to be the limit the world over,
and it will be as soon as conditions can
be properly adjusted.

The Helena Independent sensibly re-
nonstrates against unfair criticism of
General Donovan on the subject of
prize fighting. It says:
Where are these Ubiquitous prize
fights? Who has been indulging in this
unlawful pastime? And is Attorney
General Donovan the only prosecuting
attorney in the state? He has shown the
county attorneys how to put a stop to
gambling. He has done and is doing his
duty fully in showing county attorneys
that the law which the Billings Gazette,
among others, said could not be enforced
is enforcible.
Attorney General Donovan made no
promise to act as county attorney for
every county in Montana. He said he
would enforce the anti-gambling law.
He has kept his word. If he is to 10
work for all the county attorneys of the
state he Is entitled to the salaries of g
few of them. If Billings is pestered with

Mr.. Griggs, who was born in Paterson,

they may be sold on that day Of the

only for the quartermasters at the
