a Word Of Warning.

The statement Is made in public print
that within the past few weeks more
than 1000 employees Of the Pennsylvania
system have been discharged under the
general order that no empoye Of tile
company who was hired a fter he reached
the age of thirty-five Is to be retained.
II is further stated that In the Carnegie
works the age limit for skilled work.
ers has been put at forty years in some.
departments, and In others as low as
| thirty-five. NJ
1t is hard age on old men. The ne
mand Is for tho active. energetic Young
man,..who has lost nothing Of The vigor8
OF his youth. If he can work well his
services are In demand so long as he Is
young and vigorous, but the moment he
begins to show signs OF age the moment
the gray hairs begin to appear, that mo-
ment he Is at discount and In danger
OF being thrust aside We cannot believe
that this Is good policy. Experience. Is
y orth something, and it is nonsense TO
say that a well preserved nan has lest

age OF thirty-flve or forty. Indeed, sCcii

ness than younger men,.
But the largest employers of labor do
not seem to think so, ard theFnlan who
is past the age limit is having Il hard
time TO find profitable en.ployment. Our
purpose In referring to the subject Is to
sound the note Of warning and to give
word Of friendly advice TO young men.
Every young man who is now probably
employed, and every competent and indus
trious young man may find profitable en-
ployment If lo desires. should learn the
lesson OF thrift and practice 1t every day.
He Should economize, and, If necessary,
even stint himself, that he may regularly
lay by part Of his earnings and invest
them In good property anil continue from
time to time to increase his stock and
store until lie has acquired u competency
His opportunities are now precious, and
IT he spends all he makes In fun and
gray hairs come lie will be thrust aside
and may be dependent upon charity for
his support. These are precious moments
for the young man, and he should not
let his opportunities slip by unimproved.
If he sends all he makes in fun and
froic. laying by nothing for the rainy
day, lie is foolish--he Is worse than fool
