MAKING AN IMPRESSION.
Reason Why a Young Man Did Not

Reason Why 4 Young Man Did Not
Get a job.
II have applied for q position In
dozen newspaper offices and half that
many stores" said the young man who
was standing at q desk. "No one will

need work very badly. The best !
have been able to get Is: 1--WE have
nothing for you; good morning. an
discouraged"
And here Is what the man behind
tie said desk. 1t was MOI the essence
Il wisdom, just simple hard sense;
lesson learned by rubbing up against
q busy world, that has little time for
sentiment and none to waste on lazy
folks:
'You came In with your hat on, and
you kept 1t on. You did not tell your
name. You didn't even show the man
at the desk the courtesy of throwing
away the butt Of the cigarette you
had been smoking. You asked for a
place in the literary department, which
proved that you had made no investl'
gtaion OF the ONCE you desired 70 en-.
ter. When questioned you had the
most haEy idea OF the position you lie
sired to fill and you gave the impress
ion that you were looking for soft
job-that you were born tired. You
really asked for charity. for in no
way did you show or attempt to show
that you expected to earn any salary
that might be paid you. Listen! There
are no literary positions on the AVE.
age newspaper. The man who thinks
that somebody is paid a fine salary
for reading the magazines and writing
book notices Is badly mistaken. There
are few soft Jobs In any profession.
Everybody has to work and dig and
sweat AS the years pass and compe-
tition grows keener there Is less and
less Of an opportunity for the lazy man
The dreamer II you want to work
and guow and be somebody. tell the
next man so. Tell him that you viii
gladly take humble position, that he
hours and the salary are of small mo-
mont, when compared with the oppor-
trinity. Make him feel that you are IN
earnest by being earnest. Take cff
your hat and cut out that cigarette.
And II YOU don't get place the fr9t
time, try again, and keep on trying. II
tho lazy mlcrobe Is implanted in you
you had better pick out your room in
the poorbouse. You will not be sue.
ccss, even In that institution; but you
will be out Of the way Of busy people.
Tha, Is all. OF course, 1t hurts e lit.
tic. The truth is not always pleasant.
Some day, after you have landed rear

to you for situations, you can tell them

During the Franco-Prussian war
Bartholdi served with distinction and
fought under Garibaldi. In the days
of the Commune he visited the United
States, being unable to pursue his
studio worl, in Paris. The magnificent

was approved In five years France SUD-
scribed the $4,000 necessary for that
purpose Bartholdi spent on the statue
nearly ten years. Levi 2. Morton,
then United States minister to France,
received the gift July 4, 1884; it was
brought over on a ship of state, erect

work Barthodi made deep study of
colossal figures in Egypt Greece and
eastern lands. The statue is the largest
bronze figure in the world. being 151
feet from the pedestal to the extremity
of the torch, the figure being III feet
high and the torch being 300 feet
above the tide level.
The masterpiece Of his creation,
however, is The Lion Of Belfort. To
commemorate the defense of that place
during the Franco Prussian war he
sculptured the immense lion. figure
so feet long and so feet high, partly
cut in the rock and partly built up
with stone, which stands against tie
face Of the citade,'s plateau. AS tes-
timonial Of gratitude to Americans FOR
their sympathy and service in that
war the statue Of Lafayette, in Union
Square, was given to New York 1t

subsequently did one of the public

Some Wireless Yarns.

They tell some funny yarns about the
operation of wireless telegraphy in the
present war When Admiral Togo was
at his island shelter, some miles from
Port Arthur, he was the victim of what
might be called Russian joke. The
Russians knew that Togo's ships were
equipped with wireless apparatus, so the
Russian wireless station at Fort Ar
thur sent the following message: "Rus-
sia's fleet coming out" and signed the
name of Rear Admiral Dewa. Togo came
rushing up, with his whole fleet, forced
draft. four boilers, four bells, ippity
split, anxious to get there in time to in
fcrcept the Russians. In the meantime
the Russian joker was leaning against
e fertilization, laughing in his beard,
and uttering strange sounds Of mirth. Ad-
miral Togo did not consider it much Of
joke at all, according TO Chefoo rumors,
and the same afternoon blew the top
off of a prominent hill near the signal
station

were taken from an open boat by a
passing vessel.
"Of course, on a well-trayeled track
like that there's always the chance Of
being picked up" he said. I'D sooner

Toward evening the wind dropped

The LuII in the Fighting.

Since the fighting of last Sunday af
ternoon and evening we have no news
Of engagements between the armies Of
kouropatkin and Oyama more serious
than occasional skirmishes between
outposts, or little desultory artillery
fighting. Both armies seem to be we'll
concentrated, and facing each other at
a distance of only two or three miles,
except possibly on the Japanese right,
which is the Russian left, where the
hilly country necessitates division Of
forces
1t may be, the Chicago Record-Her-
aid says, that the heavy rain, flooding
the rivers, has been the main factor
which has occasioned the temporary
lull in the fighting. Again, the ex-
haustiOn Of the men and the need Of
bringing up fresh supplies of ammuni-
ton may have had more to do with it.
Neither army seems inclined to retire,
but which will first take the offensive
no one can say The Siberian Railway
seems to be given over entirely to
troop trains Fastening re-enforcements
to Kouropatkin, but if his losses are
nearly as great as seems probable it
should take perhaps three weeks mere
Iy to make them good with new
troops However, a Mukden dispatch
says that had it not been for new
downfall of rain Thursday Kouropat-
kin would again have taken the ag-
gressive that night. Oyama, 1t will be
remembered, said In one of his dis
patches toward the end Of the hard
fighting that he had attained his first
object. leaving it to be inferred that
his plans included second object al
ready definitely determined upon. That
may be an advance upon Mukden.
The weather in Manchuria will not
seriously interfere with fighting for at
least a month more. Then the rivers
will begin to fill with floating ice,
making them difficult to ford, especial
~ for transport services. The surface
Of the ground will freeze about that
time and form a crust, which, over
soft mud beneath, will only make
teaming more difficult for the time.
BY Christmas the ground is usually
frozen to depth that makes trenchinS
impossible. The fuel problem will be
very serious for both armies, as there
are said to be no forests on the hills

ations. except in the neighborhood cf
