LIFTS MEN OUT OF RUTS.
Merchants System Gets Work from
His EMPLOYEES.


A we'll known employer. whose force
is one Of the largest in the country,
has a system of wedding out dead
timber" among his employees. This
man is a philanthropist. He helps
more men to find themselves, possibly,
than any dozen training schools. His
system is philanthropy elevated to the
highest plane. When he notices that
2. man begins to show signs that ne
is falling into rut at one kind or
work he promptly changes him to
some other kind of employment. II
there also his disposition is to become
mechanical In his work, he is shifted
again. Two or three changes will
either put him in a place where he can
expend his energy to the best advan.
tagc of himself and the house, or show
decisively that his sphere of activity,
If he has any, is somewhere else.
Then he is discharged.
Il absolutely will not have men in
my employee who fall into rut," Is
the way this employer puts 1t. Il
don't want machines in my office.

prove themselves as the years go on,

Encouragement cuts the nerve or
present effort and darkcns the sky OF
hope for better things. The evangelist
who coined the phrase. God cannot
use a discouraged man." was wise
preacher: he might also have said that
the world has no use for a discouraged
man. Booker II. Washington, II his
up From Slavery gives the keynote
of his own success in the following SEN
siblc words: II do not recall that
ever became discouraged over anything
that I set out to accomplish. ! have
begun everything with the idea that
could succeed, and | never had much
patience with the multtudcs of people
who are always ready to explain why
one cannot succeed Such spirit
will carry one through every difficulty.
and over every obstacle. Speaking or
q young man who was to come, an ola
prophet said: HE shall not fail or be
discouraged" The reason he did not
fail was because he refused to be dis
couragcd. The old doggerel, 20. do
not be discouraged had Il big mes

a Word to the Bows,

Here is a hint for our boy readers.
They are all interested just now in the
Japs. They all know what splendid
soldiers the laps make and what won
drous endurance they have shown on
the march and in battle. The Japan
csc minister in London says that the
sale of tobacco is prohibited in his
country in the case of any person UNI
der the age of twenty years, the pen
atty being a fine of S. and that parent
who allows a minor to smoke is also
subject to fine.
Tobacco was put here for a good
purpose. Seemingly there are many
men who use it to their comfort and
without injury; but the boy who
smokes cigarettes, or who uses to.
bacco in any form, while he Is grow.
ing, will be the worse for it, and IL he
uses 1t to excess he will seriously i'm
pair his health, if he does not weaken
his constitution.
The boy who wishes to be strong
and healthy man will do well to learn
a lesson from the Japs.-Alabama

THE MODERN FARMER.
How He Lives - Compared With FIT
Years A9O.

How He Lives ~ Compared With Fifty
Years Ago.
" HE farming life of to-day, as
contrasted with that of fifty
years ago, is parad&a Of
comfort and convenience. The
lonely loghouse, remote from market
and devoid of advantages that half
cycle of time has made possible, would
scarcely appeal to the present day
farmer.
The twentieth century soil tiller has
practically all the modern comforts.
His mail is delivered daily. He has
telephone connection with the buying
and selling world, affording the best
opportunities for marketing to advan-
tage. His home is of recent architec-
ture, constructed of wood, brick or
stone, and we'll furnished. He has
modern plumbing and modern heating,
and with the advent OF acetylene gas.
he has modern lighting. At night his
home is as attractively illuminated as
that of his city brother, for it is sug-
gestive fact that ''acetylene for coun-
try homes" has so appealed to the farm
err that of the $4,000 users Of acety-
lene gas in the United States the farm
err Is one Of the largest of all classes.
Ever seeking the best, he has not hest
tated in availlng himself Of this new
light.
The continued growth and progress
of this great country, ever a cause OF
wonderment, has no greater exempli'
fication than evolution OH the farm
Already the farmer is becoming the
most enyied of men--the freest, the
healthiest, the happiest!

The Sinners Balance Account.

John Harvey Treat, who has given
largely to Harvard College library, and
whose villa de ST. Prize" on Lake
Cupsuptic, in Maine, is the show place
of the Rangeley region, was formerly
in business in Lawrence, Mass.
One of the firms customers, a paint
er, had contracted a debt which ran
along for a year or more without any
signs of being liqudated, Several dun
ming letters failed to bring about a set
tlement. One day while glancing over
the religious notices in a local paper
Mr.. Treat saw something which gave
him an inspiration, whereupon he sat
down and wrote theh following mis-
sive to the debtor:
"Mr. -: My Dear Sir-I see In
the local press that you are to deliver
an address on Friday evening before
the Y. M. C. A., on The Sinners Bal
anced Account inclose yours, as
yet unbalanced. and trust that | may
have the pleasure of attending your
lecture. Yours truly"
