TUE cuRse OF IDLENEss.

The complaint comes from the small
err cities and country towns thru their
newspapers that too many young men
are idle. The farmers add their voices
to the concensus of complaint ana say
that the town bred young man refuses
Z IN accent ordinary work when offered
him, altho wages are fair or even high.
He waits for the pleasant position with
the big pay. HA doesn't want a Job. ous
a situation. So he STAYS around home
and his father pays his laundry bills
Neither all nor largs proportion OF
young men follow this course, but TOO
many wait to accept a place Without
hustling for job. Every man, young
or old, who is properly ambitious wants
the best place and the highest wages
but the one VINO viii get Il isn't waiting
but working for 1t.
There are few salaried snaps" now
aaays. The worker who gets high
wage furnishes results commensurate
with his pay. Failing to do this he
Is discharged and another who is able
and willing TO deliver the goods Is
nut in his place. Nobody gives some
thing for nothing and the young man
who waits while he should work Will
find in later life that he has nothing,
not even energy, to trade for hlsh
wages and high employment. He may
cut ice in the winter and mix asphalt
in the summer If ice cutters and PAYERS
are needed. He has wasted the time
whes, he should have gained reputa-
ton and developed capacity. Ice cut

ployments, but each has its drawbacks

fTN HE spring ''round ups" were all
over and Bruce had nothing
Fs-TsS5 to do but to loaf about the
(@ssSSj Stopping Place, drinking Old
I.atour's bad whisky and making him
self nuisance. In vain the Pilot
tried to win him with loans of books
and magazines and other kindly cour-
tesies. He would be decent for day
and then would break forth in Violent
augmentation against religion ana all
who held to it. He sorefy missed the
Duke, who was away south on one OF
his periodic journeys, of winch no one
knew anything or cared to ask. Inc
Dukes presence always steadied Bruce
and took the rasp out of his manners.
1t was rather a relief to all that he
was absent from the next fortnightly
service. though Moore declared he was
ashamed to confess this relief.

after the service. "He is far too clever.
But" and his voice was full OF pam,
"Id give something to help him.
.1f he doesn't quit his nonsense

He doesn't go out Of his range, his few
cattle wander everywhere, his shack
is In q beastly state and he himself is
going to pieces, miserable fool that he
Is" For it did seem shame that d
fellow should so throw himself away
for nothing.
"You are hard" said Moore, with his
eyes upon me.
Hard? Isn't it true?" l answered
hotly. Then. there's his mother ut
home"
"Yes, but can he help it? Is 1t all
| his fault?" he replied, with his steady
eyes still looking into me.
His fault? Whose fault. then?'
"What of the Noble Seven: Have
they anything to do with this!' HIS
voice was quiet, but there was an ar
resting intensity in it.

man ought to look after himself

he added: What have any of you
done to help him? The Duke could

had been willing to deny himself lit

other. and SO you help one another

could not find anything just then TO
say. though afterward many things
came to me. For, though his voice was
quiet and low, his eyes were glowing

CITY folk usually rate country people
as greenhorns. Town or city people 60

do not have, which comes from attfi-

bullets, the bullet that entered the right
breast in the muscles of the back; the
wound in the left breast had penetrated the
right side of the heart, thence through the
liver, and through cavity of ninth rib, and
recovered it near the first bullet in muscles
of the back. The third bullet passed
through the hip.
Neither the first or second wound would
have necessarily been fatal. The shot in
the left breast was the fatal one. Powder

A mystery with money at one end and a
missing woman at the other, seems to
center in Freehold at present. Something
like fifty years ago, a woman, giving the
name Of Ann Van Dorm Kent, opened an
account in a savings bank and stated she
was born in 1928. subsequently, for some
reason, she opened another account in the
same bank under the name Of Ann Van
Dorm Kent.
In 1868 she gave her residence as Middle
town, N. r., and in 1879 she gave Freehold
as her residence. Since that time nothing
has been heard Of her in connection with
her money. she would be 50 years old, il
living, and, as twenty-four years have
passed since she was heard from, the ques
tion arises. Who was Ann Van Dorr
Kent, and what has become Of her Nj
one can be found in Freehold or Middle
town who has ever heard Of such a person
