Wanted-WOrk.

We have just laid down one of
the large city dailies. The column
after column of short want adver-
tisements is appalling. In each is
found human call for something
to do-something that will furnish
bread for hungry mouths. They
say appealingly: "Give us some
thing to do that we may live ="
And who are these people2 They
are, in the main. the unfortunates,
the misfits of society. A small
percentage are now in the ranks of
the employer and desire to improve
their condition. The student Of
social conditions is dumbfounded
when confronted with the extreme
large percentage of men with no
fixed calling who aimlessly drift
with every tide, having no anchor.
In measure, changes in business
conditions which result from the
invention and introduction of ma
chinery to supersede mans labor
and the consolidation and central
izing of business enterprises, is re-
sponsible. But, generally, the fault
is to be found in the individual.
He has failed to adopt, in early
life, a fixed purpose. Being man
without a goal ahead-some fixed
object to .rivet his attention and
give definite aim to laudable pur-
pose, he shifts and halts until the
world has no use for him and he
sinks TO the level of the "misfits. ="
The young person should decide
what calling he or she is best
adapted TO and having made a
choice, "stick to your BUSH" that is
do your very best and remain with
that occupation so long as there is
a ray of hope. Don't be unstable,
seeking first here then there for
something that looks more attract
i've than your present employment.
Talking, as we do to our readers
monthly, upon the homely beauty
of contented farmers life we are
once more impressed with the duty
of appealing to the young people,
especially, to choose wisely, and IN
choosing, inquire into your own
deeper convictions to ascertain if
your best welfare will not be sub
served by remaining on the farm.
You may thus be less liable to find
yourselves mustered among the
army of business wrecks in the
years to come. Observing men
discuss a remarkable tendency
toward the farm, with it's pure air,
wholesome food and the touch of
nature that makes for home, health,
purity of life and happiness. The
old argument that the farm life de-
prives one of the good things,
socially and intellectually, is no
longer well founded in fact. The
rural delivery, interurban and
steam railways and other modern |
conveniences have made that life |
the best of all lives to live.-The |
Farmer.

How to Elevate Farm Labor.

More than two thousand years
ago Jewish writer said: Glow
can we get wisdom and hold the
plowT" He questioned the posi-
bility of it and the thought has
lived along down the centuries un-
til today. There has always been
a prevalent idea that little or no
education is required to make a
farmer and that agriculture and ig-
norance are natural companions.
1t is a very wrong view but it pre-
walls to a considerable extent.
Why is it that labor or the farm,
holding the pillow, driving teams,
sowing grain and cultivating and
harvesting crops, does not stand in
the worlds estimation on an equal
lty with the labor of the merchant,
the manufacturer or the profession
al man2 1t is partly the fault of
farmers themselves in not taking
broader and higher view of the
business and in allowing the son
who is to remain on the farm to
grow up with little or no education.
If one of the sons wants to be a
preacher he must receive a good
education. If another one is des-
tined for the law or the medical
profession, be too, must 90 to col
lege But the one who is to remain
on the farm, gets a mighty poor
education and very little of that.
The idea seems to be that "any old
thing" in the way of education is
good enough for a farmer, and the
worst of it is that farmers them
selves have fallen into the idea.
This is all wrong.
There is more downright drudg-
cry more absolutely repulsive labor
in the life of one physician than
there is in the lives of a dozen
farmers. Lawyers work very hard
for a living and comparatively lew
of them achieve independence. Yet
these professions stand higher in
the labor scale than farming and
our medical colleges and law schools
are filled with boys from the farms.
One reason of this is that the
labor of the physician and the law
yer is educated, while that of the
farmer is too often uneducated.
Education dignifies all labor and |
the lack of education prevents labor
from taking its proper place. 1t is
one hing to be able to accomplish |
results and quite another to under |
stand the modus operandi, the ra-
5ionale and the reason of things. |
Place agricultural labor on the |
same plane in point of education as
The medical and legal professions,
md it will be as highly thought of |
As they are There is more science
involved in raising one crop of corn
han there is in the practice of med
cine Tor years. There is more
science involved in managing
'arm than there is in teaching
Greek and Latin. The trouble is
hat the farmer is too apt to be
content with the drudgery OF his
7ocation without trying to master
is science. One OF the most need
I'd reforms in the agricultural
world is more and better education

NATURALLY RELIGIOUS.

Being naturally religious my
imagination was early caught by

which it occupied ia America, so l

Amateur Cracksmen Do a Poor

Lake. ,yB vi

Cracksmen bungled their work at
Forest Lake, Washington county, last
night. They not only failed in their
effort to get the money deposited in
the Forest Lake bank, but it is evident
that they came near losing their lives.
The report Of the attempted robbery
came to Superintendent of Police Con-
roy this forenoon. The Forest Lake au-
thorities said that the burglars had
entered the bank and, with large
charge Of dynamite, had blown open
the safe, which was built into the wall,
vault-like. -. -
The charge, apparently, had been
larger than the robbers intended to use,
for the explosion was deafening and
ripped the door from the safe and dam
aged the building.
It is possible that the cracksmen
were injured, for they left the place as
soon as the safe was blown and with
out taking any of the funds which were
exposed in the wreck Of the vault.
The Minneapolis police are watching
for suspicious characters here.
Burglar insurance to the amount OF
$4,000 was carried. The loss will not
be more than 500 as the vault door
was used only for fire protection. The
insurance company believes that the
attempted robbery was the work of
amateurs as the door could easily have
been opened without explosives.

buys an ivory for the minuteness Of the

enough, but why should we spehd our
money for frivolous limitations, which will
not bear close scrutiny and which merely
clutter our houses? A few years ago the
mantels were a mass of cubbyholes and

ROGERS WILLING TO BRING IN
DIANs TO MINNESOTA.
While the Offer Has Not Been Formally
Made, Tt Is Known That Contest Can

Prove a Great Attraction in the
Northwest.

While Michigan is sending emissaries
east looking for a. football game, Mime
sofa has one coming next year without
effort on her part. What is more, if
arrangements are completed, the game
will be played at Northrop field, and
Minnesota rooters will have an oppor-
.tunity to see the gophers lined up
against what is probably one of the
most famous teams Of the east-Carlisle.
When Ed Rogers left Minnesota last
spring to act as coach for the, famous
Indian team, he announced that he
would bring them to Minnesota next
year, if possible. The team is in St.
Louis today, playing the Haskell In
of football enthusiasts to see the game,
and as a result Carlisle will probably
come to Minnesota next fall. Rogers,
a few. days ago, expressed a Willingness

Rogers is willing to talk business and
Minnesota will probably not be slow to
take up the matter and clinch it.
Carlisle under Rogers training has
played stiff and creditable schedule

RUSSIAN DoMESTICs
Law Excludes Them as Witnesses Against
Their Employers. - ::

ST.. London Mail. -
The Russian servant is hired for one
year, and is told exactly what his particu-
lar duty is to be. He then sticks to that
one duty. AS long as each servant faith
fully performs the special duties Of his po-
sition all is well, but the neglectful butler
or cook or cOachman is sent by. the en-
ployer with a written note to the police
judge, who, after carefully Investigating
the complaints, has right to order bodily
punishment or to write a bad mark in the
book kept for this purpose.
In great Russian households often from
twenty to fifty servants are kept, and even
the middle class families have two to four.
The pay of these servants varies according
to the line of work. While the "chefs'' in
the kitchens of wealthy families often re-
ceiVe $1,000 a year, a cook in an ordinary
citizens employ gets no more than $50 a
year, and a maid of all work never gets
more than $25 year. At Easter every
servant gets a present generally suit or
dress. ~ t4- = e,.--,. IL
Every other Sunday the servants in a
Russian household are entirely free. Their
work stops Saturday night after supper,
when the servants leave the house, not to
return until the next Monday morning.
The employers never ask where or how
the free time is spent r
! Russian servants will pilfer Since Rus
sian ladies leave everything to the care of
the servants, the latter do as they please.
The men servants smoke cigars belong
ing to their masters, and pay frequent WIS.,
its to the wine cellars Of the house; but a
gentleman would consider it "demeaning"
himself to prosecute a servant for this.
The Russian servants will talk about
fellows servants, but never about their en-
ployers. Even when they quit one place
and take service in another family they
would never mention anything about their
former masters. This discretion goes 50
far that even the law considers it.. In
Russia the law excludes servants as wit
nesses against their former or present
employers, SO long, at least, as these SER
wants are not suspected Of having taken
part in the crime. ri a~,-z.~.
