THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR
GOOD MEN.

Col Henry Watterson says that when
he applied for his first employment on
newspaper he was told:
"There are never any vacancies on
good paper, but there's always room
for a good man."
Col. Watterson says he thought the
reply so good and true that, after be
coming an editor himself, he said the
same thing to all applicants
1t is true in all kinds of business.
The whole world is full of good places
for good man.
There is hardly a big business con-
Germ anywhere that does not realize
it's need of good men. The work is
waiting for them.
Thousands of incompetents offer
themselves, are sized up by quick
shrewd methods of measurement and
dismissed. But the good man, bright,
alert, willing, ambitious, reliable, is
slow in coming. He is rare
But when he does come to claim his
own he comes into a kingdom.
When Grant was president, Geo.
Pullman, the palace ear magnate,
once remarked to him that he had long
been looking for young man, keen as
the keenest, built for big work and
absolutely reliable. "And, do you
know" he added, 81 haven 7 been
able to find such man in five years
search2'
"I know the man, " said Grant, |
- but you can't have him. lie is
Horace Porter my secretary"
But Pullman did get him, and for
20 years the ambassador to France
was the executive head of the big Pull
man business.
The practical question confronting
'vcry young man today is not:

MORE BROKEN ROCK STREETS

Let those who oppose bithulithiC
street pavements show their good faith
by csming forward and asking the city
'Dguneil TO put down at least one broken
rock % maeadam street.
This city should undertake street i'm
Wrovement of some kind. IL may be
wise to haul off for several years tho
uaB8 and fertilizers that have been
9iamled onto the streets for years.
But in time there will have to be
some better street material put down,
sand there should be nothing used infe-
aior to broken rock. That will make a
sSbBsot far in advance Of anything we
now have.
Chronic opposition to improvements
Will die out under the influence Of pub
Hr discussion, and the rapid growth Of
ffhD city, and the bringing in Of new
people.
The condition Of South Commercial
street is positive discredit TO any
city, as people drive in from the south
IN the smooth pavement afforded by
che broken rock streets built by the Lib
erfy farmers
All kinds Of influences will be
arought 20 bear TO prevent the inn
pr0vement of South Commercial street.
Controversies over grades, and even lit
tcation will be threatened IL it was eW-
dent that the street would be improved
II is TO be regretted that the county
roclr crusher cannot be worked all the
year around, 80 that citizens who
wished could buy broken rock TO i'm.
prove their streets. There should be
some way TO get such material.
The city Of Dallas is on the right
track, when it proposes to buy a rock
ernsher and promote construction Of
broken rock streets. They have the
rock, che water power and the city gov.
'erprnsnt is in the hands Of euegretic
yaQng men.
" would not surprise US il all the
principal streets of Dallas were macad
amized before the year rolls around |
That would bo great achievement for
that live city, and there is no doubt II
will be done.
A state capital suffers the disadvout.
age of relying too much upon its un.
biblical connection with the state to do

by which the seemingly impossible is
accomplished. For instance, one of
his feats is to cause the body of a
woman to rise and float thru the air.
He stands at some distance from her
and hoop is passed about her body
and other tests are given in proof that
there is no mechanical device to. sup
port the body. The illusion is car
ried out in a manner that is very i'm
pressive. A young lady is first hypno-
tized, apparently, then placed in a
casket. At the command Of the ma
gician her body slowly rises and re-
mains in midair several feet from the
floor. =:
