A United States Judge in st. Louis
has sentenced n man to Imprisonment
at hard labor for life and twenty years
In addition. The question now arises
whether the entire sentence can be set
aside for lack Of jurisdiction in the
country where the convict may be dur
ing the additional twenty years.

own ability; he becomes careless and forgetful, and finally
loses his place altogether. A too frequent use Of praise in
the management of employees is productive of undesirable
results Of a different character. The man who is continu.
ally praised after a while becomes imbued with the idea
that he Is "IT." He has an exaggerated idea Of his own
Importance and is liable to assume a patronizing air toward
his associates and customers that is not at all desirable
in fact is decidedly harmful. Such a man is almost certain
in the end to become so intolerable that he is at last mott
fed that his services are no longer required.
Too much praise or too much blame Is therefore equally
harmful, though in a different way. A judicious use Of
both is highly desirable. When a salesman makes a good
sale, it pleases him to receive a word Of commentator
from the manager and it spurs him to do better. On the
other hand, If he is impolite to a customer or does some
thing he ought not to do, he should be reproved gently but
firmly. This will make him more careful in the future,
and in the end he will be more valuable to himself and the
firm.
Much depends upon the manager himself. If he pos
sesses good common sense, has a fair knowledge of human
nature, and has personal magnetism, he will have no
trouble with his employees. If, on the other hand, he is
unjust, hard, and unsympathetic, he will be unable to keep
good statesmen or saleswomen in his employ for any length
of time. No one of spirit will submit to being cursed and
reproved before his shopmates by the man from whom he
receives his orders. Dissatisfaction is certain to show It.

If agriculture is without opportunity

LABOR'S RIGHT TO COMBINE.
BY Senator Hoar. of Massachusetts,

l cannot see why if capital may COM

bine in labor unions. Every corporation
and every partnership is IN aggregate
Of individuals. So when a single work
man desires employment he has to make
his bargain not with one employer. but
with many employers acting as one.
He is also at another disadvantage. The
thing he has to sell is his days work. If

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

1t isto be hoped that the postoffice
department will not make any rulings
to cripple the rural free delivery route.
1t may be that there are few routes
which are not justified by the patron
age. But upon the whole, although the
system has been quickly expanded, il
would be an injustice and hardship to
decrease the service.
The country can afford to spend some
of it's millions on rural free delivery.
In no instance, perhaps, do the people
reap so much for their money. The
system is proving great educator. 1t
is making the country home far pleas
anter and it is reconciling the boys
and the girls on the farm to their lot.
The ruling recently that at least 10G
families must be served on each route
and 5000 pieces of mail handled month
ly will cut off perhaps so per cent. OF
the routes and in some states the dis
will amount to 80 per cent.
The recent disclosures of fraud in the
department having charge of the sys-
TEN is doubtless at the bottom of the
ruling. But Secretary Payne mistakes
the temper of the people if he thinks q
of the service is desired. The
cost of the service, so far as the pub
lie is concerned is immaterial, if the
money is honestly expended. The con-
demnation of the rascality in the adj
ninistration did not involve the service
in condemnation.
The facilities Of the rural free deliv-
cry should not Je impaired.

HIS FIRST GRAFTON.

Twas the last day of school, and The
ophilus Beech
Was going to make on the platform a
speech.
His mother had carefully taught him
each word,
And fifteen or twenty rehearsals had
heard.
Beginning Dear teacher, so kind and
so pleasant"
1t told her the scholars had bought her
a present.
The phrases were long, but Theophilus
knew them,
And, backward, he boosted, was sure
could go through them.
He'd learned when to bow and the
platform to leave;
It came after saying, "This token re-
ceive''
Then handing the box, he would grace
fully go
To resume his own seat in the best
scholars row.
Some day shall stand in pulpit and
preach,
So thought to himself proud Theophilus
Beech.
But when it was time for the elegant
speech,
So loud thumped the heart of Theo-
philus Beech,
So short was his breath and so shaky
his knees,
His cheeks burning up and feet ready
to freeze.
He thought with such terrible symp-
toms united
He'd certainly die if he stood and re-
cited;
And what seemed to him most mysteri-
GUS of all,
The very first sentence he couldn't re
call.
So, trembling and painting, he stalked
up the aisle,
And met with a scowl his teachers
sweet smile.
He snatched up the box as if he would
break it,
And shouted as though in the school
yard, Here, take i'll"
| Then throwing it down far out of her
| reach,
He ran to his seat, poor Theophilus
Beech.
