Look For Fresh Water Supply.

A special agent of the Great
Northern Railway has for some
time past been investing the
water supply at several of the
stations along the road in this
vicinity. The company has tanks
at several towns in this vicinity
that soon must be abandoned for
the reason that the watercontains
some quality that eats out the
boilersof locomotives and renders
then useless long before they
should be. Water from all tanks
is to e.carefully analysed in the
future. and the road will make an
effort to establish a new water
supply which will do away with
the obstacles to which the pre-
sent supply gives rise.

To Young Men.

The following from the st. Paul
News is worthy advice for every
young manto consider and improve:
"We were living beyond our
means, SO we stole to make up the
deficiency. It was either that or
give up social and club relations that
were dear to us" With this confess
sion frankly made, James II. Pres
ton and Peter D. Hax, of Chicago,
were locked up on the charge of
larceny, embezzlement and conspir-
acy. The two young men, neither
Of them over % years Of age, were
book keepers, and by shrewd con-
spiracy have stolen considerable
money from their employers. They
were ambitious to shihe socially,
and rather than give up society,
committed q crime. Having got in
ito the charmed circle, they were not
brave enough to break ont. We
were living beyond cur means.
That was all. The boys had nc
Vicious personal habits. They did
not gamble or speculate. They went
ia social pace that was too rapid for
their gait. And it ruined them.
Here's a lesson young man. It is an
old one. You have heard it often.
It is we'll worth your attention. To
live beyond your means is to court
certain failure. 1t may not lead you
to crime but it will certainly lead
you to slavery the slavery Of debt,
Live within your income. Do moi

ways lies danger. If you earn only
