The average person who expresses
himself on the subject seems to think
that young man can only get ahead
these days by some pull, either
through influential relatives or friends
or by the lavish use of money. We
wish to register a decided protest to
such nonsense, and in support would
refer to the advancement of DR..
Schwartz, mention of whom is made in
this issue. The pull that will shove
boys and men ahead today as hereto
fore, is worthy ambition, honesty,
and disposition to work hard at any
honorable work whether cleaning out
stables, working in the woods, blowing
on the farm or studying in school. Let
it always be remembered that there
is lot of room at the top. But it's
mighty few who are pulled" to the
top. Climbing is the Surer way to
reach the top.-Greenwood Cleaner

OF the few holidays in the different
states none are celebrated with a
keener relish than watermelon day
in Colorado. From five to ten thou
sand people meet at Rocky Ford each
year. in September, and for one day
at least care is thrown to the winds.
The railroads give excursion rates
and all the different classes meet on
one level. The merchant and mine
owner. the railroad officers and pro-
feSsional men unite to make it
jolly day, while an undertOW OF
the picturesque Mexican laborer,
Indian, Chinaman, sporting character
and cowboy still give each mec ting a
distinctive western flavor. Over five
thousand melons are required to
satisfy the hungry crowd. At their an
nual meeting it is great treat to the
eastern tender foot to witness the
sports of the day. The cowboy is here
ia all his glory and it is here that he
appears at his best with his fayorite
bucking broncho. The untamed horses
are brought in from the plains for
many miles around and many exhibit
tions of skill and daring are given by
the broncho buster.
Target shooting with both revolver
and rifle is one of their favOrite sports
and some of the best shots are found
among the ladies. Good music is
always furnished and dancing is not
at all uncommon. Several speeches
are made, then comes the foot races
which are INDUCED in by both sex.
But it is the horse race that captures
the entire crowd. The cowboys life
has all but passed away on the great
ranches but one may see them yet in
wide sombreros and leather trousers.
The cowboys of today are employed
not to round up the herds but to ride
fences and assist in driving the
fattened cattle to market. Many a
former cow puncher is now following
the pillow and driving the self binder.
Grain farms have been turned into
watermelon fields or get rich quick
concerns on the broad plains formerly
called the American desert.

The Band Concerts.

The value of the band concerts car :
not be estimated in dollars and cents.
1t must do the heart of anybody a
world Of good to notice the children
as they listen to the music. Some one
has said "that music has power to
charm the savage breast" We do
not know very much about the truth
of this statement, but we do know
that it has power to relieve many of
us that are not Savages of good deal
of care and tiredneSS. 1t helps us to
forget that the worries and difficulties
that will need our attention tomor-
row. As long as it does that it may
be rated as blessing. Bandmen, don't
forget, then as you play, that you are
chasing the blues away for someone.

The bottom went out of the straw
berry market. Most shippers were
getting only fifty cents per crate the
first of the week, and we know OF at
least one producer who quit picking.
He said that the crate cost 13 cents,
the picking Is cents. the express 10
cents and cents for commission, max
ing a total of So cents cost and hence
three cent loss besides the cost of
boarding pickers. So he considered
he was making money by letting his
berries remain on the vines, and it
really looked like very good reason

A school girl in neighboring town
produces the following composition on
men: "Men are what women marry.
They drink and smoke and swear and
have ever so many pockets. but they
won't go to church. Perhaps il they
wore bonnets they would. They are
more logical than women and also
geological. Both men and women
sprung from monkeys, but the women
certainly sprung farther than the
men,"

The Imperial Chinese Post.

A lady of the China Inland Mission
at Taikang, in the central province of
Honan, in a letter to her family has
some amusing things to tell about the
establishment of the Chinese imperial
post in the province, which is some
weeks journey from/the coast. She
says:
1--WE have got the Chinese imperial
post here now. At Kaifeng when they
first got it the Dostoff1ce clerks had a
fight with some men who bought
stamps and wanted the clerks to lick
them and put them on the letters for
them. They said the clerks were there
to lick the stamps and paid for the
business, and they wouldn't lick them.
But the clerks wouldn't agree to lick
them, so they came to blows, and the
police had to come in and separate
them.
Here at Taikang the man who has
got the Dostoffice has begun well. Har-
ry was in his shop when the first Gus
toner came for stamp. 1t took him
nearly five minutes to find the key and
get the stamp box open, and when he
gave it to the man he said in a very
decided way: Now lick it and put it
just there The customer was foolish
Cor wise) enough to do so. and now a
custom has been established in Taikang
that all purchasers of stamps must lick
them and stick them on. There was a
great row at the Kaifeng postOffice one
day because an address on a letter
could not be found and the letter was
brought back.
THE sender wanted his money back
because the letter had not been deliv-
cred, but the clerks refused to give it
to him, contending that they had had
more trouble over it than if it had been
delivered. Another man was deter
mined to get the postoffice clerks into
trouble because he had sent a letter
some time ago and received no answer.
This was clear proof, he said, that the
letter had never been sent. The service
here is somewhat irregular yet."-LOn-
don Daily News.

Hlas! Dobbin Is Gone.

A brand new use for the autono-
bile has been developed in an English
dairy country. This is a motor wag-
on equipped to constitute a travelling
creamery. The farmers instead OF
hauling their milk to a central cream
cry have the motor wagon stop at
their gates on its daily round The
driving power is utilized for the oper-
alton of separatOrs, so that the skim
milk is returned to the farmer for
stock feeding and fattening purposes.
1t is proposed to extend the facilities
of the travelling equipment so that the
butter fats may be replaced with
other cheaper fats. thereby rendering
the skim milk suitable for calves or
young pigs. Recent experiments have
shown that if butter fat or whole
milk is replaced with some other ami
NAL fat the modified or blended milk
is just as satisfactory for raising
young animals as the milk Of their
mothers A combination Of this kind
that is, a travelling separator plant,
combined with an emulsOr for blend
ing fat with skim milk-wOuld do
much to revolutionize the present sta
tus of dairy work.
