The Young Mans "chance. A"
Wait moment, young man

Wait moment, young man.
You say you haven't been given a
fair chance in life to make something
of yourself?
Look at William E, Corey, whois the
acting president of the United States
Steel Corporation at salary that would
made man rich in year.
Do you think he had "a pull?"
He did Fifteen years ago Corey was
pushing a wheelbarrow in the yards of
one of Carnegie's mills rt Braddock.
And this was his "pull.
"He wheeled so much more iron in a
day than the men at his elbow that he
was soon made foreman over them"
In other words, Corey wasn't afraid
to "do 50 worth of work for dollar, I"
fear that besets many young men to-
day.
When Corey became foremen it was
noticed he got twice as much work out
of his men as the other foremen. He
didn't swear at his men. They never
grumbled at their boss. They respect
ed him.
Carnegie began promoting Coley.
And Corey worked hard. He had
only a fair common school education.
He studied at night. He took up q
course in a correspondence school. In
time he became an expert chemist. By
and by he was an authority on armor
plate. He knew more about armor
plate than any other one in the mills.
There was only one thing for Carnegie
to do. He made Corey superintendent
of that department. Corey increased
the output.
That's all.
Only remember this: "He wheeled
SO much more iron ore than The men at
his elbow"

Only a Mask.

Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little If any stronger than
they were. The tan on their faces is
darker and makes them look healthier,
but it is only mask. They are still
nervous, easily tired, upset by trifes,
and they do not eat nor sleep well.
What they need is what tones the
nerves, perfects digestion, creates ap-

that is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils

Not Over Wise.

There is an old allegorical picture of
a girl scared at grass-hopper, but in
the act of heedlessly treading on a
snake. This is paraleled by the man
who spends a large sum of money
building cyclone cellar, but neglects
to provide his sanity with a bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Dia-
rrhoea Remedy as a safeguard against
bowel complaints, whose victims out
number those of the cyclone hundred

cal interest in the wrlfore of their
country, which ownership of property
brings about? Why should the cream
of our land be taken and settled by the
poor ones of Europe, and our western
and southwestern farmsteads go, in
thousands of instances, to the children
of the foreigner, instead of being occu-
pied by the sons of those who helped to
give to history and to the world the
United States.
The overflow of population from our
mountains must find new homes. The
question to be answered is, shall the
young men turn into day laborers on
railroads and other public works, in
mines, in forests, etc, and the young
woman into servants of various sorts,
or shall they remain masters and mis-
tresses of themselves and owners of
their own homes?
Under the conditions first named,
they must live in towns, where the ma
jority of them gain little in useful
knowledge, and lose dreadfully in in
nocence and right living; under the
second, they are given the free country
life to which they were born, are freed
from the temptations besetting and,
generally, mining the ignorant country
boy or girl in cities and towns, and are
more apt to make useful and good citi-
zens. Besides, with good farms they
become independent, and can give to
their children that which they them
selves did not have, good educations.
Make community prosperous in this
country, its citizens will establish
schools for themselves; leave the peo-
pie of community in discomfort and
poverty, and they will not receive edu-
cations, though milllonaires establishes
schools and employ teachers for them.
Educate! Yes, let us educate, but lei
one part of the education given the
overflow from our mountains be, to
stick to the farm, to the work they been
; trained to; and let them aspire to more
, than the life of day laborer, for hu.
man musclein one of the cheapest com
modities in the United States.
Therefore, if there are any who want
to help the young men from the noun
tains, let them help them to find gooC
country homes; and my advice to oul
4 mountain boys, who are seeking new
e fields Of employment, is, to go into
