There were seven cars, every one of them being pretty well filled, and on the entire trip there was not a sign of anything approaching disorder. Captain Jule Mccall was the conductor and En- gineer Spruell. These two brought the excursionists through without hitch, the only delay being a stop for coal down about Georgiana. The train will leave on the return trip ct o'clock this afternoon.

THE TRAINED FACULTIES.

We want to say word about what
we call the knack of turning off work.
In employing labor we find that there is
the man who will turn off a lot of work
and not half do it; then there is the one
who does his work SO well, but accom-
plishes SO little, both of which are an
aggrayafion to the man who EMPLOYS
them. There is happy medium be.
tween these two extremes, that of the
man who can intelligently size up a
job of work and determine how much
of petty fussing. and detail may be
omitted in the doing of it, which being
done is Improbable thoroughness for
his employer. There is SO much wasted
effort, the doing of things in the most
awkward and the hardest way, what
we call the uneducated, laundering way
of doing things, when labor might be
by the use of intelligence and fore
thought made a pleasure instead of a
burden, as SO many rate it. The educa.
ton Of the eye the ear, the hand, what
may be termed mechanical dexterity,
of the boy or girl does not receive suffi-
Gent attention in our usual school
training.

a wonp TO THE Farm boys.

We greatly value the privilege of be-
ing able to reach SO many nice boys on
the farm each week bright active,
ambitious little fellows, eager to learn
all about the great world in which they,
live-fortunate boys, we call them, in
that their boyhood is passed under the
most healthful and desirable Of condi-
tons. They go to the country school,
milk the cows, can handle team bet
ter than many man, and while they
thus help about the farm work they are
planning what they will do when they
are grown up. Some want to be rnil-
road men and send the express scoot-
ing across the old farm at mile O.
minute clip, some want to be mer-
chants, some lawyers, here and there
one minister or politician, and per-
haps the fewest of all want to have
nice farm like fine old home place and
have fine stock and run things in an UP
to date way. We want to say to them
that there will be plenty of chances for
them all in these different lines of bust
ness-tbat is, if they grow from nice
boys into honorable and ambitious
young men. In order to do this they
must make the most of the opportuni-
ties which come their way. They should
read and study and work hard to know
all they can. Books and papers are
very cheap; use the spare time reading.
Think and observe as you work; lots
can be thus learned. Do some expert
menting in a small way-plant tree,
care for small garden patch, raise
pig or some chickens, try some new
kinds of plants or flowers, and while
you do these things find out all you can
about them and try to do we'll what
you attempt to do. The men who en-
ploy labor today are becoming more
and more particular as to the kind of
boy they want to take into their en-
ploy and train for business. The boy
or young man who smokes cigarettes.
plays poker, drinks Intoxicating liquor.
who takes no interest in his enfployer's
business aside from drawing his wages.
stands mighty poor show, for bust.
ness men do not want this sort around.
1t is the steady. faithful. Industrious
and reliable boy who is wanted, and he
does not have to be very smart in or
der to get into good place. If you
want to be an engineer on the fast mail
or run big store or have plenty Of eli
ents and patrons seeking your services
as lawyer or physician by the time
you are forty, you have got to lay the
groundwork for such success between
fifteen and twenty five, for it is almost
impossible to make successful man
out of scad of boy. The scads be-
come loafers, drunkards, beats, crimi-
nails, while the good boys make the
good men.

FARMERS AS SPECTATORS.

We have always believed in selling.
farm products when the price was fair
and the stuff ready. Once in awhile a
man can make something by holding
on and holding over for turn in the
market, but not often. The farmer Is
not built for a Spectator and In the;
main will do best to clean up and get
rid OF each year the stuff produced
during the year. Wheat, corn and 9th.
er nonperishable stuff may be held
with the absolute certainty that some
time during period of ten years SUCH
product will command fancy price, /
but we have noticed that the men who
SO hold 1t never know enough to let 60
at the right time. Then when interest,
taxes and rattage are charged off they
seldom make a cent and often are
heavy losers. We saw six year old
corncrib emptied not long since, and
the rats had destroyed over half the
contents of the crib.
