time tor his IunCnoOn, anu very o1COA
was among the first to reach the side
walk when the hour for CLOSING came.
It was evident he could not stand
promotion. Not until the manager
took him severely to task and proved
to him how closely in all branches
of work the harness must be ad iusted,
did the young fellow settle down and
show the same points of worth that
had at first made him of service to
his employers.
This reminds us of another Incl
dent. In the general Office of an in
urance company there was a youth
working at a moderate salary, who
threw away the opportunity of a bril-
liant financial caree simply because
he could not stand promotion. The
way of it was this:
The youth entered the employment
of the insurance company as a
ste~nographer, but as opportunity Of
fered he acted for the company in
securing new insurance. Gradually
he developed a remarkable ability that
was almost a genius in bringing
m0u 10 d OcC1S1Ou NuCI GI1Cy "C1C
hating in regard to accepting the
benefit of insurance. The company
discovered the gift of their assistant,
and felt that he could be of more SER
vice to them outside the Office than
inside. So they gave him work here
and there around the city in the mat
ter of bringing to conclusion tag
ends of business that others had
worked up.
But this promotion caused the
youth to place too high a value upon
his own gift. He was not as courte-
Gus and attractive in the work now
as he had been. His manners took
an air of superiority and c%ondescen-
sion that ill-ftted his years. In a
short time the company called him
back to the office and gave him his
old place as stenographer, which he
fills to-day.
1t is a testing-time to a youth
when he finds out he is of value to
his employer. Still, why should he
think he is not of value to his en-
ployer? Would he be likely to be
given remuneration if he was not?
1t is not easy to tell the difference
between the pride and the just JOY
in success, but there is one way to
avoid being tripped when a fresh sue
cess comes to us. It is for US to fix
our eyes on our work, and not on
ourselves, and to do our best every
time, no matter what n~ositon we hold.
More than this, we should be progress
sive and each time strive to do a
little better than before. AS a gen
eral thing, honors are given to those
who look upon work as a privilege,
and, as oon as one thing is com
pleted. turn to another. There is a
genuine JOY in feeling we are sue
eessful that is ~rightfully ours, but
there is a higher joy in work we'll
done. The work accomplished should
hold a more prominent place with
us than the worth of the n ac-
complishing it. Young Peoples

u YOUNG PEOPLE
The Age of Wisdom.

The Age of Wisdom.
When Reginald and I went out
This morning for a walk.
We had most conhdentlally
An interesting talk.
We talked of things we used to think.
Then most forgot again;
For Reginald is over nine,
And I, you know, am ten.
Why, 7 remember how last year,
When we were rather small,
We thought that wars we're over with
And couldn't come at all.
We read of battles in the books,
And thought them verv fine;
But Reginald was only eight,
And I was only nine.
Policemen really stand around
To clear away the track,
And help the ladies cross the street,
And bring lost children back;
We thought they hunted Indians
And boys who stay out late,
When Reginald was only seven
And / was only eight.
We thought that Santa Claus came
Right through the chimney fue,
And that his RENDERS paved out
side,
AS in the play they do.
While, if a boy had been too bad,
To him no toys were given;
But Reginald was only six,
And | was only seven.
I'm really quite ashamed to tell
How once we used to try
To see what very little things
Could make the baby cry.
We thought it quite a famous joke
To play those silly tricks;
When Reginald was only FIVE,
And | was only SIX.
And, oh. the foolish. foolish things
We fancied before thatl
We thought the hills could touch the
sky,
And that the earth was fiat,
That fairy stories might come true,
And dragons be alive,
When Reginald was only four,
And / was only five.
It's such a comfort now to think .
Those baby days are past,
And ignorance so terrible
Is all outgrown at last.
And now. of course. we'll never he
Such simpletons again:
For Reginald is over nine,
And |, you know, am ten.

can't afford to be giving $500 apiece for
horses that haven't any nerve. Come
on. now"
Coaxing 1t along in this way with in
finite patience, the officer after several
minutes got the animal up to the roller.
The horse daintily put forward one foot
and tapped the front of the iron wheel,
waited a moment and. finding that the
machine did not kick or run. reared
contemptuousiy and tapped the object
with both feet. then wheeled and walk
ed quietly away. The policeman re-
mounted. and it is safe TO say that
horse will never bother about a steam

Shoes or their equivalent are of a
certainty even more ancient than
gloves. for they were Il necessity of To-
comotion. while the other was but a
luxury. Sometimes they We're made of
skins, sometimes OF papyruS. as in
Egypt. Often they We're gilded and
decked with jewels, and the most eX-
pert artists of the day were employed
to decorate the foot coverings of
wealthy particulars. consuls. emperors
and their favorites. In no article OF at
tire have more vagaricS been shown.
Today lady who desires to be consid-
cred in the height of fashion wears
shoes pointed as much as possible. but
in the time of Queen Mary the taste
was all the other way, and 1t was
found necessary to issue royal procla-
nation prohibiting shoes with toes
wider than six inches. But perhaps the
most extraordinary development i'll the
way of footgear We're the ''chopineS' III
troduced by the ladies of Venice to
make themselves taller than they really
were The articles were really kind
of stills made of wood and leather and
sometimes reached the absurd height
of twelve inches. Even trained aero
bat would have difficulty i'll walking on
such things, and ordinary women had
such trouble with them that when they
attempted promenade they required

and another behind to keep them from

How 1t works In North Carolina

The Amendment Committee Of Maryland
wrote to Gov Glenn, OF North Carolina,
asking how the Suffrage Amendment passed
by that State few years ago was working, and
received the following reply
Sin response to your inquiry as to how the
amendment has worked in our State, cannot
emphasize my views Of its benefits stronger
than to say that do not think there is white
man OF any standing in the State, whether be
be Democrat or Republican, who would like
TO see the present amendment of the Cousti-
tuition repealed. Before the amendment there
were constant clashes between the races; dis
turbances and riots on the day OF election,
ordinations and determinations N regard to
how the elections were held. Since the amend
ment went into effect, we have had no trouble.
The negroes who are qualified to vote, vote;
those who are not. do not vote. In fact, the
negro seems to have lost lliuteTest ia politics
end has gone 10 work and Is becoming bet
ter citizen. Peace reigns al the polls; there
are no disturbances of any kind. Election
day i rs quiet as Sunday and our people sre
prospecting more than they have ever done IN
the history Of the State. These are facts that
cannot be denied by any conscientious man.
