Lots Of Shopping

This is the time of year to give, the
time in all the year when one puts
everybody else before himself. There
are the old folk, and the children, AMI
a score Of relatives to be remembered,
besides the half dozen little newsboys
and office boys, and there Is a lot of
shopping to be done to prepare for all
of these gifts.
There is distinct evidence, too, tnat
all the gifts already purchased vii
not be kept in Las Vegas. for the
postmaster and the express men may
have to look about for extra men 20
help them handle the rush of Christ
mas packages that are being sent
out OF town. It is early yet for the
packages to lie received here, but
hundreds are being sent to every 9th
or part of the country. The business
both at the postoffice and the express
office is greater than that of the same
time last year.
But there will be many a family
where the only Christmas gifts vii
be those provided by charitable or
CARNATIONS. These, however, hav'
made such complete plans that not
person will be overlooked and tbs
Christmas cheer win be taken int
every one of the poorer homes OF To-
city.

CAPABLE PEOPLE ALWAYS
NEEDED.

Touching the world of the employed
and the employer alike. can say thai
the world Is lacking woefully In com.
petent help. whether from the point
OF technical or personal equipment. OF
the combination of both. There are
not enough capable people to do the
worlds work. The cry of the employ
er is that his men lack interest in the
work; that they are indolent and de
void of concentration. This is not a
new complaint and long ago 1t was de
ciled that the time clock would rem.
edy the evil. 1t has done II. however.
it has unnamed men and has ma.
chine made the idler: 1t has brought
workers to the shops on time. but has
left them there. good and bad. on the
same general plane of service-the
idler anxious to beat the machine If ha
can; the competent. Industrious one
Indifferent if he shall do so.
There must be a better method than
this evolved in the business world.
Already in some houses there is dis
position to dlscredit the clock and the
idea of the cashiers punching hole
each day in the pay envelope of the
employe has been introduced as a sub.
stitute. The clock. of course. is CON
fession on the part of the employer
that he cannot get the class of en-
ploycs that he would like to have. and
the worst feature of It is that when
he gets good man and subjects him
to the system, that good man is less
good because of it.
Again, as to the personality of the
man employed. he will make fewer
mistakes out of his personal equip
ment of Judgment. memory. concen.
tration. and self-control than will be
saved him by proficiency in technical
knowledge. A character may have all
the technical knowledge in the world
and II It has not these four personal
attributes its training will have gono
for nothing.

SENSITIVE ABOUT CRIPPLED
MENTALITY.

Recognizing the defects that arc in
the mental equipment of men and
women as one OF the bars to their
progress, It Is striking fact that the
physical defect is less a disability. a
friend of mine who has a printing Of
nee was walking through an alley sew
eral years ago and found a man who
had lost both legs playing marbles
with some newsboys. He asked why
the man was not at work and was
told there was no work for him. My
friend looked the man over and told
him II he wanted work to do to wash
mp and come clean to the office on the
next Monday morning. The fellow
came and there found'a benci built for
him at the side of job press and
there he was placed to feed paper into
the machine To-day he is regarded
/ as the best operator of press in the
whole establishment. He could not
have been bank messenger, but he is
an excellent press feeder. while with as
big defect in the mental and moral
nature as Is this legless state he
would have been untitled for anything.
Nature seems to be especially dis
posed toward the extinction of the
mentally deficient. If man has only
one leg there is not the least diff
Guilty in getting him to see the neces-
sity of wooden one. but If he is lack
ing in two or three of the most i'm
portant personal attributes, mental
and moral. he shows resistance Just
to the extent that he is lacking. If
ne is lame physically he viii take a
crutch that is handed to him. but If he
is lame intellectually he win resent the
suggestion that he should take mental
treatment for the defect.

ed. He stood reading his paper and
every few minutes would whistle parts
of tune in a clear tone.
Passengers would look around try

No one seemed to resent the un-

Some whistling sounds as If 1t
meant cowardice or conscious error
but this whistle had resemblance to
an overflow of normal mental activity.
While he was waiting by the door
for the train to stop and while going
through and out of the station. he
whistled as il he had been waiting for

kept it up. There is too little music

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
81 had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe it was
injuring me although l had palpita-
ton of the heart every day.
Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and l gave up both
tea and coffee. using Postum instead.
and since that time have had abso-
lutely no heart palpitation except on
one or two occasions when tried a
small quantity of coffee which caused
severe irritation and proved to me |
must let 1t alone.
When we began using Postum 1t
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make It according to direc-
tions-but now we put a little bit of
butter in the pot when boiling and al
low the Postum to boil full 10 minutes
which gives it the proper rich favor
and the deep brown color.
II have advised a great many of
my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum; In fact |
daily give this advice" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe It to
patients. There's a reason"

Trust methods are about to be adopt

churches will cooperate with each
other and will consolidate many of the
smaller pastorates.
las 1t is now said DIR. Coyle. lin
many OF the villages one will find a
number of small churches, none OF
which have a good congregation.
AT the Murray Hill hotel in New
York recently there was a meeting of
representatives of the Methodist. Pres
byterian. Baptist. Congregational and
other denominations. Resolutions were
adopted looking to the consolidation OF
all Protestant denominations in small
places. Thus. II the people OF any town
want Methodist church. all the other
denominations will help in establishing
and supporting that church. No other
denomination will establish a church
there until the community has grown
so much that the first church is made
quate. This will enable some one of
the denominations to have a successful
church. where. under the present sys-
tenn, there would be four or five
churches. none of which would be sue
cessful.
II was surprised to find how unani-
nous all the representatives were con-

confer. and | believe II will be adopted

Forgetting Transfer.

A passenger took certain street cars
to reach n point because on those cars
he could get transfers and save lit
tie, but he forgot to ask for transfer
and expected to have to pay that way
as much as any way.
1t happened that the cars were so
crowded that the conductor did not
reach him to collect the fare so he
didn't need a transfer
This passenger was one who pays
The conductor whether he has to or
not, but on this occasion he felt that
he did not owe anything, or it may be
that he semifelt so because he debat-
ed a little in his mind over what to
do.
There is case recorded where 6
passenger got convert to his religion
because he voluntarily paid the con
ductor after being overlooked. The
conductor asked him where he lived
and got acquainted with him in order
to learn what ii was. in his blood or
brain, that made him do such a thing.
and then adopted his belief.
There is another case recorded
where a passenger gave a useful ex-
hibit, to n standing audience en- the
rear of the car. by handing the CON
ductor his fare after he had stepped
of the car. Another passenger said to
the conductor You don't see such
people very often. do you" and the
conductor replied: There are a few
of them left"
