The difference in experience was not
matter Of luck; the first man began
at the bottom and travelled up: the
second began at the top and Travelled
down.
Every man who tries to jump imme-
diately into the fiowery time of sue
cess will find himself truly in the air
and will sooner or later suffer collapse
He must begin at the bottom and grow
naturally, putting out stem and leaf
and branch as conditions warrant
Thus only can the plant be hardy and
in time put forth real blossoms Of sue.
cess, fed and nourished by the sap Of
soundness and healthy vitality.
Preparation must precede every un.
dertaking. Often business is fairly
choked to death by a failure to pre-
pare for it. A manufacturing company
was recently compelled to call in al
cause they hadn't gotten ready to han
die the business. A correspondence
school lately organized lost a million
dollars by advertising before it was
prepared to take care Of students.
Almost every middle aged man who
Is occupying a small position, as clerk
salesman, bookkeeper, etc., would say
IL asked, that he is in this position be-
cause when young, he didn't prepare
for anything better. He fully expected
to do better some day. He had no
idea Of growing old on a small salary
but he did not previously settle down
to prepare himself for higher class
of work He waited for something to
turn up-for an opening.
It Is said often there are openings
out west, in, the Philippines, in Alaska,
In the north, and in the south. But
your opening Is right where you are
and your change" is in yourself. De-
velop' the talent that is in you, pre-
pare for better work than you are do
ing and Openings" will come to you.

A general Of an army might say:
If I held a certain height, II river
were across our left. II the battlefield
were differently situated. and storm
were not coming on, I could win. He
would be a poor sort Of a general. He
must use his position on the battle
field, arrange his army, and plan the
attack so as to win in spite Of the con-
ditions, or II possible turn these same
conditions into instruments Of help.
It will be remembered that in our
war with Spain the naval battles were
fought with little paper ships in
Washington before they took place on
the ocean. Every move was carefully
planned.
Practical experience teaches us that
the man who would succeed must pre-
pare for the success he would achieve,
That he mustn't wait for something
to turn up, but must busy himself
turning things up.
Remember that nature has armed
you with such faculties as will enable
you TO do some feat impossible to any
other man." 1t is we'll to make liv-
ing, but while doing 1t make life.
II you are going to help move the
world, set ready to be a part Of Its
moving force. Remember that "every
institution is but the heightened shad-
ow Of one man." Your shadow will
be in proportion to your conscientious
preparation and planning. You make
it what you will.-Chicago Tribune.

Ten years ago two similar schools
were opened during the same year in
Chicago. One began in an old build
ing in a small suite Of rooms, with
cheap pine tables for desks, and bare
floors. The other opened in one Of the
finest buildings in Chicago. with hand
some mahogany desks and chairs, soft
carpets, and elegant rugs. The heads
of these respective schools were men Of
seemingly equal natural endowments
and equally ambitious. At the end Of
five years the first school had taken
larger quarters and bought out the fur

in the Democratic convention, which
won him the nomination for president.
People said it was a wonderful burst
of oratory, an inspiration. The truth
Is that Bryan had been working on
that speech a long time. That for
rehearsing in a small back bedroom
in an obscure little hotel. The situ-
alton was understood and the whole
thing carefully planned.
A young man was an assistant on a
magazine. His position was insight
ficant, his salary small. He seemed
however, to have none but office hours,
for he was always at the office. He
did his own work, and then he did ev-
erything any one would let him do.
He watched the editor make up the
magazine and helped him. He came to
know all the details Of the work and
the publications policy as well as the
editor himself. Other employees laugh
ed at him. Every night they shut up
their desks promptly on the minute and
departed. leaving him still "puttering
around" as they expressed it. The
editor died suddenly and the young man
took up the work and carried 1t on.
Today he employs his old fellow-em
ployes. and many more besides. They
talk of his luck" forgetting his sea-
son of preparation. during which time
they were engaged merely in earning
their salaries.

this honor IS an empty one, for
the reason that metropolitan

spectacle of a wide open village

ment to counterfeit the lower

Sheriff Shirley discovered Il
plot this week that might have
lead to developments similar TO
the Lawrence affair of last fall,
had it not been for his w%atchtul-
ness. Attempts had already
been made by the jail occupants
to remove the windows, and a
few hours more would have sui
feed to complete another Jail de
livery. Sheriff Shirley has given
1t out that anyone caught smng-
Cling tools into the jail will be
summary dealt with. Present
Jail facilities in this county are
of the poorest and the county of
fcials are anXiouslv awaiting
the completion OF new Jail quar-
tiers, which will be modern, and
will securely hold the most des-
perate characters.

CARSON AND
RENO.

The editor of the Standard
spent two days IN the states
capital this week, and our
kno wledge Of Carson life gained
III that time was a revelation.
1t is a pretty town and its bust
ness and moral life is such that
the local medical fraternity have
never reported a case of nervous
prostration in the history OF the
place.
A unique feature is the great
predominating majority of ma
tive born Carsonites. 1t has
been said that the only excep-
ton to this rule were a few OF
of the state officials and the IN
mates oil the state prison. Thelo-
cal press are even now working
with commendable industry and
may succeed in inducing the
governor nd his assistants to
become naturalized and main
tain bona hde residences i'll the
capital CITY, while it is said that
the convicts have all expressed a
regret that the stork had not
made them native sons. III fact
the conditions are SO ideal that
many return for a second and
third term.
The only scrap noted in recent
years was on an occasion some
months ago when a sight seer
ruthlessly spat III the eye OF a
native boen potato. The mat
ter was latter adjusted s%atistac-
torilv.
The Tonapah traffic has con
tributed largely towards liverl-
ing up the capital city and fat
tening the receipts of the Y. &
T. Company. Many dollars
have been diverted into Carson
business channels during thS
past year and the business men
are III a very regrettul mood
that the Hazen cut off should be
nearing completion as it will de
prive them OF a good sized plum,
The state capital grounds are
now the scene of an experiment
of general interest Throughout
the state, which is paying 500
Der diem for a we'll driller to
search for a~rtesian water. They
are now down several hundred
feet, and the last few days has
been spent in a search for a lost
drill. The drilling apparatus Is
a walking beam affair and when
the we'll driller wants to get the
best results he hires Il man with
a patriarchal beard to work as
a pendulem on one end of the
walking beam attachment.
These and other things not
now occurring to the mind OF
the writer act to keep the CAPT
tai city from sinking into a
state of 'inocuous desuetude.'
Any mention of Carson would
be incomplete without a word
about her ideal home conditions.
She and Reno are sister towns,
but one would never know it,
Judging from the facial and NOR
al conditions presented by each.
The latter is lively, but it isn't
the kind of life that counts, and
II She would retain the honor OF
being metropolis of the state
she must improve her moral
conditions. At the present time

Movable BedroOrns

In one OF the old castles OF northern
England visitors are shown two rooms
which are connected with each other
by a singular mechanism. Each room
is adloined by an alcove used as q
sleeping room apartment, and the floors
Of the adjoining alcoves turn on a
pivot in the center OF the partition
wall. This Ingenious device was the
invention of one OF the ancestors Of the
present proprietor. who was somewhat
OF wag and found great pleasure In
frightening and mystifying his guests.
When one had gone to bed In the green
room and the other In the blue. the
floors were turned on their pivots. and
on awakening the visitor found him

that were not his own. II Is said that

Why They Laughed.

One evening Carlotta Patti sang in a
large town. Just as Ferranti, the
buffo, was leading her out of the door
upon the platform some one In the an
teroom behind cried out to him that his
coat had burst at the seam In the back.
IL was too late TO go back, for the au-
dience had seen him, and the two
singers advanced TO the footlights. The
knowledge OF this mlshap took all the
fun out OF Ferranti, and the duet,
which was sung In Italian, was so dole
fully devoid Of its usual humor that
Patti noticed 1t before they were half
through. and, dropping the text OF
the duet, she fitted the following words
to II, In Italian: What Is the matter
with you tonight2 don't understand
your nervousness. Nobody laughs at

Whereupon Ferranti, In the mellifiu-
GUS Italian, responded: by the saints,
l have burst my coat! Everybody will
laugh when l go off the stage IL they
don't now"
At this unexpected interchange of
personal feelings Max Maretzek and
his orchestra began TO laugh immod-
erately. Then the people in the front
seats, seeing the orchestra and the
artists laughing. Joined In themselves,
and the merriment presently broke out
into applause all over the house.
"Ah," said one of the papers next
morning, "there Is always something
