WHY Many Young Men Fail.

1t is the fault and the cause OF the
failure of so many bright. capable
young men that, being put into GER
tain work-day rut, they make no effort
to climb or even crawl out OF 1t; they
donot seek the work that is not routine
and go beyond the terms Of the bond
in search of additional labor in order
to attract the approving notice Of their
employers. They do not go to their
posts before nor remain at them after
the fixed hour. They are content to do
enough, and no more than enough, to
earn their hire The life Of the average
clerk is generally genteel, easy, clean
w; he need not soil his hands nor his
clothes, and his ambition is satisfied
with these pleasant conditions.-Phil-
adelphia Ledger.

In 1902 this country was the largest
exporter of domestic merchandise in
the world, while no longer ago than
1870 her exports were exceeded by
three countries, France. Germany and
the United Kingdom. In favorable
balance Of trade" or excess Of exports
over imports, the United States also

Washington, May ll.-Seeretary
Hitchcock will soon issue an order
withdrawing Is, 600 acres of land in
Finny, Grant, Kearney and Haskell
counties, Kansas, from homestead
entry. The order will be made in
compliance with a request from Sec
rotary Wilson of the Department OF
Agriculture. The bureau of forestry
has completed its plans for the es-
Establishment of a forest reserve of
81 600 acres in Southwestern Kansas
and, Immediately upon the order
from the Secretary of the Interior,
will begin its work.
The boundaries of the reserve are
irregular. The tract will include
1900 acres of government land !,
4, 500 acres of school land and 16, 600
acres of private land. The north
eastern boundary of the tract will
run to within one mile of Garden
City. The nursery will be near Gar
den City in the irrigated district.
The present plans contemplate the
planting of seed from the jack pines
of Northern Michigan. These exper-
iments already have been made on a
small scale in Northern Nebraska.
The effort will also be made to Guilt
yate the red cedar, which is now
found in the vincinity of Mcfarland,
Kans.
Two forest reserves were establish
d last year in Nebraska aggregat-
ing 2l0,O00 acres. One is in Thomas
county in the central part of the state
and the other in Cherry county, In
| Northean Nebraska. Former expert
ments on small scale had positive
ly demonstrated the success Of tree
culture in these sections of the state.

The House has finished the considera-

the Committee on Finance.
1t took until 1918 this morning to do it.
And, after working until that hour to

quorum was present to pass it, and so a

The tax on retail liquor dealers was re-

800, this making the total State and
county revenue from that source $500 a
year instead of $500. That was done
upon the suggestion of Mr.. Gattis.
There was a disposition to reduce the

wanted to strike it out altogether. but it
went through without change.

tinuing the law of 1901 that the Legisla-
ture choose the county boards of edu-
cation, and taking from the county COM
miSSiOnerS the power to elect them.
Amendments were sent up to exempt
the following counties: Cherokee, Alex
ander, Buncombe, Surry, Swain, Column
bus, Yadkin, Macon, Davie and Wilkes.
PENSION BILL PASSED.
At this point, eleven o'clock, the special
order, the pension bill was laid before tho
HOus. Mr.. Parker, of Halifax, explained
that the bill eliminated that part of the
former law giving pensions to members
of the State Guard. The present bill
has been SO amended that only those
Confederate soldiers and sailors who are
disabled to the extent of three-fourths
are entitled to PENSIONS; but these al
ready On the roll are not disturbed. The
Board of Pensions is given power to re-
wise the list and strike off any that. they
may deem best. The members of the
county boards are compensated at the
rate Of $500 a day for three days.
The section excluding widows who
married again has been changed so that
they can all draw pensions, provided they
are widows again.
Instead of the Sheriff and the County
Commissioners constituting the county
advisory board the present bill provides
for the Clerk of the Superior Court and
three reputable Confederate soldiers to
serve as the advisory board.
Mr.. Parker then proceeded to deliver
an eloquent, ringing address upon the
patriotic feeling that prompted the
younger geration of North Carolinians 20
stand by the old veterans SO nobly.
He expressed beautifully the heartfelt
thanks of the veterans to the people of
North Carolina.
Mr.. Parker was heartily applauded as
he proceeded, and received an ovation as
to shake his hand.
Judge Graham, as a member of the
Committee on Pensions, thanked the
chairman for his splendid work in draw
ing UP the bill. He himself had hoped
that the date of marriage might have
been extended to January LIST, 1856. =.
least, but this had not been thought ad-
visable at this time. Moreover, Judge
Graham had thought that soldiers who
had deserted and returned to the army
ought to be pensioned. He called atten-
ton to the fact that the examining board
consisted of the Clerk of the Court and
three confederate soldiers, not pension
erS
Mr.. Lucas said: II thought right
much of Friend Parker before he made
that speech, but now I love you, Parker,
my bow" ~(Laughter.)
Dr. Alexander, of Tyrrell, thought that
the widows who were married immedi-

questions TIC be asked in arriving at the
income to be taxed.
That was Judge Graham's proposition
and after a somewhat lengthy
it finally went through.
The only question omitted is the one
concerning interest on United States and
State bonds.
Here are the questions:
what was your gross income during
the twelve months ending June 1st?
"Q) From salary and fees?
"(2) From annuities?
"(3) From trade or profession?
go Any other source except from
property taxed?"
The pension bill was passed. There
are few changes from the present law.
Widows who married again are not ex-
Guided, provided their second husbands
are dead. Only veterans who are three
fourths disabled are eligible to pension.
But this does not interfere with any one
now on the roll.
The county boards will be composed Of
| the Clerk of the Court and three
table Confederate veterans, who are to
serve without compensation.
The Board of Pensions is empowered
to revise the rolls, and strike off any
names they may consider should not be
there. for any reason.
Mr.. Parker. of Halifax. chairman Of
the Committee on Pensions, made an elO-
Quent speech on the patriotic spirit of
the younger generation Of North Caro-
linians. and upon the gratitude of the
veterans.
It it's conclusion Speaker Gattis sent
Mr.. Parker the following note:
81 congratulate you on your eloquent
! speech and feel that your appointment as
! chairman of the Pension Committee has
been gIoriously approved by the whole
House. GATTIS."
That is a rare compliment in a House
of representatives.
The tax on undertakers was finally
fixed. Tt is $25 for towns of over Il, 900
people, $15 for towns between 10, 900 and
| SIS, 900, and IS for towns under S., 900.
