Doubtless ii one OF the least Of these
Is kept bent over the counter when
he would have been resting in some
cool and shady nook. Russell Sage
will have had his reward
The veteran financier defends his
condemnation Of vacation in the fol.
lowing manner.
8aIs ii not absurd to suppose that q
man can III two weeks rccuperate
from the wear and tear Of q years
work? On the contrary, have too
often observed that men will, while on
their vacations, make inroads upon
their vitality and purses that cannot
be repaired in the following eleven
months and two weeks.
The answer to this Is that such a
supposition Is by no means absurd. OF
course the extent to which he can re.
cuperate depends on the manner in
which the vacation Is utilized and the
degree To which his nervous system
ii run down. A vacation has avert
ed many q threatened collapse and
likewise many a nervous wreck would
have been saved BY timely rest. Plenty
of men whose daily work Is Of q
combining nature, can testify to the
%benehcient effects Of a vacation, while
Russell Sage never having taken a
rest, doesn't know what he is talk
ing about. OF course a man may spend
his vacation in such a manner that
he returns exhausted physically and
financially and would better far have
remained at home. But such a one
has the seeds Of bankruptcy IN his
nature and they would sprout In the
city II not at the sporty SUMMER rel
sort. The rest Of humanity need not
be deprived of their vacation because
4 few abuse the privilege. It Il the
part Of justice and fairness for the
man or woman who accepts a yasa-
tion from an employer to utilize It In
such manner that they will be actu-
ally refreshed and better fitted to rem
der the best service In their power.
The abuse Of a vacation is robbery Cf
ones employer as well as ones self.
The concluding advice OF Mr.. Sage
is sound and well worth ~considera-
tion. II provokes surprise, however.
TO hear him estimate anything as
more valuable than money He
says.
IA 2an should work easy be econ
omical of his time, conserve his ener-
gy and not worry. It Is worry and
not work that makes the hair gray.
II | had a thousand tongues I'd preach

THE INJUSTICE or VACATIONS.

The above ID the startling caption
under which the venerable Russell
Sage, In the New York Independent
declares that he has never taken i
vacation in his life; that the vacation
habit is the out growth Of abnormal
or distorted business methods. ant
that a man IS less fitted to do good
work for his employer after two
weeks rest each year than be was be
fore.
This Ia d remarkable statement for
Russell Sage TO make and will bring
down upon his head ylals of wrath,
II IS particularly cruel just at this
season OF the year when the hard.
working and vacation.loying masses
are studying the calendar and the map
that they may get the very most possi.
Bile enjoyment out OF these precious
two weeks. Some people viii think,
and may even say. that Russell Sage

"The New York Time" tells this
story of an Indian who had attended
an instructive talk at small church
on the Indian reservation at Onon-
dago:
Zone evening, when the building
was well filled with braves and their
squaws, the missionary described the
solar system to the extent Of saying
that the earth revolves about the sun,
and also turns over once in twenty
four hours.
early the next morning the mis-
sionary was awakened by knock at
his door. He answered it, and found
an Indian, wrapped in blanket,
standing on the porch.
"'Why, Obago, said be, is anything
the natter"
Missionary lied + grunted the
Indian.
4 lied? What do you mean?
Missionary Gays world turn over

Charles Town, we left Unionville for
Moler's Cross Roads. We had not
gone far when, coming in sight of the
road leading to Shepherdstown, when
Lieut.. James (msy his shadow never
grow less) said to me There goes a
man carrying a dispatch. l think l
can cut him off," We halted the
company. Lieut.. took two men,
crossed the field and soon brought
back the man aud the dispatch which
be was carrying to his General, tell
ing him to hold his ground, that be
would be supported by brigade Of
cavalry and battery of artillery. We
Hid not wish to bite off more than We
could chew, so concluded to 60 on to
the Cross Roads. When We got with
in a short distance O. that place, We
saw the advance of the brigade
about twenty men. We ordered q
charge at once, running them back
into the head of the column, but fail
ing to capture any. This all hap
pened in the edge Of the woods and
threw the brigade in some confusion
They upset piece of artillery and
we were able to hold our ground and
for some little time prevented them
from making a move, but when they
threw out skirmish line We fell back
toward Uulonville. The popular DR.
Banks, of your town. then little
boy, can testify to the fight at the
Cross Roads. Fathers Knott and

the Yankees fell back over the river,
and Company D established a picket

Well, Mr. Editor, that was the grand
est time Company D had during the
war. Those good ladies and lovely
girls fed US with everything good,
and the people of that vicinity have
ever since held warm place in my
heart When We were ordered back,
there were many sad faces in our
company. But all things must have
an end. and all Of this had been done
without the loss of man or horse
A short time ago ! noticed an ac-

The Man Who Wished.

There was once man who wished
Everything he saw-another man
luck, another mans love-he wanted.
The more be sat and wished the
poorer he grew, till out of his rags
and hunger be cried, Others have
their desire. Give me mine"
And so a wish was granted him.
Once in his life be could desire and
have But only once
At that the man rose up and walked
forth, rejoicing-till be fell a-think.
ing what his wish should be Then
his choice troubled him, for he had
but one wish
A rich mans carriage splashed
him in passing by. he was angry
and almost wished the rich man evil
But he remembered in time that il
would consume his gift, and he have
no gain.
He passed cook-sboP, and was 60
faint he nearly wished for what he
saw; till be remembered hunger
would come again with night, and
his wish WAS gone.
The wind pierced his rags, so that
he almost desired a cloak but be re-
strained himself for cloaks wear
threadbars
Then he laughed at his fooishness
and was about to wish for gold to buy
both food and cloak. But being a
poor man and alone, the world would
have said that he stole 1t, and would
have taken IT from him.
So. whereas before be had sat down
and idly wished for things around
him be now pressed on, not daring to
desire what be saw.
Sull, knowing he could end them
If he chose. be bore his cold and hun
ger. till, coming to a town, he hired
himself ont TO work for dinner and "A

fed, his precious wish still whole.
Thus be journeyed, till, IN place

thought to make her love him by bl'
gift, but now he had pride in trusting
to himself; so remembering her love
might fade in after years and his pow
er to wish it back be gone, he get hn
mind to WOO her for himself
Soon she loved him, and they were
wed And still he bad his wish
Thus, made strong by his secret
gift, and keeping it ever for future
day, be worked by his own hand
grew great and famous, and all thing

At last, full Of years and full Of
honor, he lay dying And be re-
membered he bad still bis wish.
They tempted him to use 1t now
to ask for longer life.
But he was wise even TO the end.
Work is the gift, be said Il have

And it was granted him.
