An Old Railroader.

Thomas Dee, watchman at the
Washington street railway crossing
in Springfield, Ill.,, is the Oldest
employe in point of continuous
service, on the Alton Road. He
helped build the Chicago & Alton
from Alton to Springfield, into
which city he rode on the pilot of
the engine drawing the first train.
Speaking of this old locomotive,
he says: ut was av the size of ha
mule, aud jist as donkeyfed. "
Dee is man of great honesty,
sobriety, and hard worker. Dur
ing the sixteen years he has guard
ed the crossing, not single mis-
hap has occurred. The old rail
roader has a wife and nine grown
children, and that his home is hap
py is evidenced by his statement
that the finest, most luxurious
trains, not even the Alton Limited,
can give the JOY of staying by his
own fireside. For over half a CEN
tury this quaint old Irishman has
not taken railroad pleasure trip,
although entitled to free trans
portation. The crossing gates be-
ing controlled from tower which
rises some feet above the tracts,
there is humor in his philosophic
statement that he has risen high in
the Atoms service.

An old country woman died IN
Nodaway county recently and left
an estate consisting of seventeen
cows. To her eldest son she be-
queathed one-half, to her second
son one-third, and to her youngest
son one ninth of the estate. The
executors were sorely perpleXed as
to how to divide the cows. AT
last some one suggested that they
borrow a cow from neighbor
This was done and the estate was
thus made eighteen cows. The
first son received his one half, or
nine; the second son his One-third
or six; the third son his one-ninth
or two, making seventeen cows in
all. The neighbor's COW was then
returned with thanks. This
scheme obviated the necessity of
cutting up a live cow but it did
not carry out the provisions OF
the will because nine isn't the halt
of seventeen, nor two One-ninth OF
seventeen. The neighbours COW
has been guilty of fraud and
should be prosecuted.

WORK VERSUS EASE.
"The Strenuous Life" Is No
Bad Doctrine.

j. Ii. Collins in the School Bul-
letin, published over at Madison,
Monroe county, writes the follow
ing lines. 1t is good doctrine,
and we hope all young friends
of the MESSAGE will read it care.
fully:
| have just read several chap
ters from" The Strenuous Life" by
Theodore Roosevelt. He breaches
to the youth and manhood of the
land gospel of work, of toll and
strife. He has little respect for
the man who shrinks from toll
and hardship. He holds out no
reward for the one who refuses to
put forth an earnest effort in the
right direction. The world has no
place for the man who works only
along the line of least resistance.
Every thing worth having in
this life is earned by effort. We
live in a world where battles are
fought before victories can be won.
"A mere life of ease units for Sc
rious work, and is always very un-
satisfactory. The boy who is 60
ing to make his life count for any
thing, must make up his mind to
work. OF the American boy,
President Roosevelt says: Vie
must work hard and play hard.
He must be clean-minded and
clean-lived, and able to hold his
own under all circumstances and
against all comers. 1t is only on
these conditions that he will grow
into the kind of American man of
whom America can really be
proud"
Every parent and teacher in the
land should preach this gospel of
work to the boys and girls; and,
at the same time there should be
provided ample opportunities for
them to live the doctrine preached.
There never was a time when in
struction of this kind was more
needed than now. An imperative
need Of the present day is work
outside Of school for the boys and
girls.
During the last third of Il cen
tury, there has been an industrial
revolution. Social and cconomi-
cal conditions are radically changed.
The opportunity and necessity for
work are, too often, not found in
the modern home. In the old time
country home forty years ago, there
were carried on nearly all kinds
of industry for supplying the needs
of the family. Very early each
member had to bear responsibility,
and contribute his share Of the la
Dor necessary to provide II living
and to advance the interests Of the
family. This experience in the
old time home was IL valua bic part
of the education of the boys and
girls of that day. They became
stronger men and women on ac-
count Of the responsibility they
had to bear and the labor they had
to perform. The boy who leads II
life Of ease and is brought up in
idleness. needs to be pitied He
is usually weak, not only physi-
cally, but morally and intellectual
ly.
Preach the gospel Of work. If
the home cannot provide something
for the girls to do daily, while out
of school. then there is greater
necessity for manual training
schools for these neglected ones.
