You a always tell how muck a
little knowledge will do for you, says
the Lawrence, Kan, Gazette. The
other day the Santa Fe plug was going
down to Kansas City. The engine
died" at Corliss, a wayslde station
where there is no operator on duty
except when he wants to be there.
General Manager Nudge had lis
special car hitched to the rear end of
the plug, and he was on board. When
he discovered what was the matter
he went forward, kicked in the door
to the station. connected the wires
and called up Kansas City. In Il few
seconds a special engine was hurrying
out of the yards to pick up the plug
at Corliss. General Manager Nudge
began his work in life as a plug
operator at five dollars a month and
he has not forgotten the lessons he
learned when he first began pound

Arizona Cutoff Assured.

A late press telegram from Phoenix
says: All doubt that the Santa Fee
means business AS to the new cut off
for its main line Is dissipated by the
fact that before tomorrow night a
contract will have been let for the
grading and track-laying Of a forty
mile section between Congress June
ton and the Colorado river.
This section will by no means
reach the river, but it will fill a
stretch of the desert gap and start the
Santa Fe's trail squarely for the Mo-
have, south of Needles, where 1t is
to strike the old line.

AMERICAN spENDTHRIFTs.


The Department of Labor fol
the State of Massachusetts ha:
been making some studies as tt
whether it is most conductive t.
the welfare of wage-earners te
pay them monthly or weekly.
1t was claimed that a certain
proportion of the men when they
received their wages INDUCED ii
a spree, get drunk and waste OIL
| lose their money, while theil
families suffer, and that weekly
payments offer opportunities for
four drinks in a month, while BY
monthly payments there would
be only one such spree in place
of four.
The statistics gathered in the
study of the question prove
nothing. The fact remains that
there are men who will get drunk
whenever they have an opportu-
nifty, and they will borrow, beg
or steal in order to secure the
desired indulgence. Such men
are seldom able to hold respecta-
BILE employment. They change
from one place to another, until
they are finally unable to keep a
decent situation. It is fast
coming to be a fact that the
drunkard industrially is sort of
outlaw.
But most of Americans. wheth-
er workingmen or otherwise. are
much disposed to be spendthrifts.
They make no effort to save, and
their money goes, they scarcely
know how. All honestly got
accumulated wealth commenced
with savings. Too often the
young man whose father is fairly
rich grows up with the idea that
he does not have either to work
or to save, and he becomes a
loafer, worthless, and a curse to
society. On the other hand of a
multimillionaire is commonly
taught that he is specially re-
quired to take care of a great
fortune, and, as a rule, the de-
cendants of the Astors, Wander
bits, Goulds, Rockefellers and
the like grow up shrewd and close
business men.
One of the most important |
things a man can learn is to take |
care of his money.-Picayune.

A writer who is keeping close
tab on the Importance of advertis.
ing to the country merchant says;
Those business men who do not
believe it profitable to advertise
during 1.-THE dull summer months
should note the catalogues arriv-
ing from the mail order houses at
this time. Those firms know the
merchants in small towns quit adj
yertising at this time of the year,
and so they food the country
with their ads, and gain a big vic
tory, while their competitors are
waiting for business to pick up, :
When business is light is just the
time it needs stimulating.

An exchange says "you car
tell a successful farmer by look.

You can tell slouchy woman BY

the dry goods boy statesman by

pantaloons; you can tell the pois-
onous serpent by the bluntness
of his tail. But the easiest thing
OF all, you can tell the enterpris-
ing merchant by q glance at the

Folk a Possible Candidate.

A despatch from Washington, Sat
urday, April % says:
Joseph w. Folks name was cou-
pied today with that of Judge Alton
B. Parker as an available Democratic
candidate for the presidency by
Bourke Cochran In one of the most
sensational oratorical efforts in con-
gress in many years.
"The tammany orator carried the
audience with him. and, when he de-
clared in reaching a climax, that the
Democrats would choose as their
standard bearer the jurist for whom
the state of New York had recently
instructed, or go to Missouri to select
man who had done his duty rs IL
prosecutor of boodlers, the Demo-
cratic side cheered, women in the
galleries waved their parasols, while
tile men in the galleries rose and
shouted: Mr.. Cochran said:
."'We have brought the South al
most back into the Union, but not
wholly. 1t is still under disability,
not by statute but by practice and by
criticism. The union can never be
considered fully established while a
great section of the country is ex-
cluded from any prospect Of voting
the presidency to one of its sons.
There is one great work that has been
performed by Republican extrava-
gance, Republican corruption, Repub-
lican recklessness. 1t has awakened
the conscience of the country to the
necessity of change, and that
change will come.
"'It will come now, whether it be
by one man or by another, whether it
be by the gentleman recently offered
as a candidate by the state of New
York, or whether, as may be the case,
by necessity for furnishing bood-
lers and making nm effective investi-
cation of wrongdoing in our depart
ments at the capital, we should go to
Missouri, where Democratic official
has shown how to prosecute offenders
