The Man Who Cheats His Work

An employer of thousands of men
was asked what thing in all his
large operations gave him the most
concern. 1.-The one who does a
little less than is expected of him. y
was the reply. He is the danger
Gus factor in all business. The
absolute failure we readily discover
and discharge, but the almost
escapes detection for months and
often years, and they make our
losses as well as our fears, and
with very serious smile he added,
THE drip in business is worse
than the leak"
Thousands of men fancy they
are fulfilling their duty to their
employers and to their tasks by
keeping hours and performing just
enough to hold on to their posi-
tons. They have an idea that to
w HlOIe Woultl Dt W give luIpeT
services than their compensation
required. They object to what
they believe would be extra values.
THE old man shan't get more than
he's paying for" is the vernacular.
Possibly it never strikes these
trimmers that in cheating their
work they are doing double dam
age; they are injuring their en-
ployers much but are robbing
themselves more; they are in fact
losing everything in life that is
worth while. They fare worse
than if they did nothing at all, for
time with all its precious values
slips entirely from them and leaves
no substance or satisfaction.
Half doing soon brings undoing.

Panhandle country frat two days this
week the market was 10 to 20 cents
lower those days, but as receipts have
been light since the market has Just

steers came in the first of the week
also, and more than one salesman
calls the cheap grade of corn fed
steers so to 10 cents lower than two
weeks ago. Only one bunch of cattle
sold above Sc 90 this week, Sc 10 was
the pIice, aud the majority of the
corn steers have sold at S525 or less.
Demand for grass cattle is good and
they are.about as high as at any time
this season. Good grass steers sell
at S9.5 to 1915, and COWS and
heifers at $3.50 to 1915. Stockers
and feeders have remained about
steady all week. Spectators bought
lots of cattle first part of the week,
supporting prices and the country de-
hand since Tuesday has been enough
To pretty well clear out the yards.
Prices ranged from 50 rs to S3.75 on
most sales. Good stock calves brought

better native stuff has been received
this week than last. aud lambs sold
at SIS S5, wethers 81 60, ewes 81 80.
The bulk of all the lambs to packers
sell above So 90. Choice western
grass sheep and lambs sell 10 to 15 cts
less than natives. A very good de.

4 Veterans story 81 the Capture Of
Mfesion Ridge.
Colonel Ben IT.. Johnston, who partici
pated In the battle Of Missionary Ridge,
describes the charge that won the day
for the Federals as one Of the most ex-
citing moments OF bis life we had
orders bic said, TO proceed 10 the foot
ct the ridge, take the first rifle pits and
there to halt, either for the purpose Of
turning back or drawing Off In some
other fashion, / do not know which.
We drew the fire Of the Confederates
from the start, but it was 50 weak and
desuItory that II was not long before
every man on the String line saw and
realized that the position on the top Of
the ridge could be taken with very lit
tie effort. The men arrived at this con-
clusion about the same time that the
order was given to halt. but they paid
no more attention to the latter than II
1T had been the wind blowing. Cen
eral Hazen OF our division rode fran
tically up and down the line yelling the
word sHaltr until he was hoarse, and
finally. when he saw that it was of no
avail, he shouted:
"sWell, blank you, come on than
Forward Double quick! Charge bay
onets.' And up the slope we went We
charged up that part OF the slope on
the summit OF which Bragg had estab-
lished his headquarters, engaging the
Washington artillery OF New Orleans.
Their guns We're named after the wives
aud daughters Of the president and oiIi-
GERS Of the Confederate government.
One Of them was named Lady Davis.
others Lady Breckinridge, lady
Stephens and SO on. In taking these
guns the boys cracked all manner Of
jokes lit the expense Of the ladies for
whom the cainnons were named
'.One Of the things that surprised all
.Of us was the fact that General Bragg's
line OF battle on the ridge top was only
three deep He had taken bis entire
'arnsy and strung 1t out over length
OF twelve miles or more down the
backbone Dc Missionary ridge, which
begins in Tennessee and ends in Geor-
gia. Had he covered less territory and
concentrated his men lit several points
along theNri,sge the result of the battle
might have been different. but us 1t,
was this thin line was no match for
the regiment that swept up the hill
against them, The only obstacle that
we met was. d number Of trees which
the Confederates had cut down with
the tops toward rs. but the boys were
not long in pulling these Instructions
out Of the way. | remember that on
reaching the top Of the ridge we saw
