Prefer Country Bred Men.
Leading Employers Say They
Work Harder Than Those
From City.

A point upon which employ
ers differ is as to whether men
from the country are better than
men from the city. The feeling
that country bred men are likely
to work harder is widespread,
and 1T has much evidence in its
support. There is, however,
hardly enough to justify turning
down applicants simply because
they happen to be city born and
bred. And for some lines of
work-selling, for example,-the
city man is often the better.
Where knowledge of the city is
not essential at the outset, | be-
lieve as a rule the country bred
man makes the better employee,
says H. ]? Hapgood, president
of Hapgoods, in the Annals of
the American Academy of Politi-
cal and Social Science. He may
be trifle slower and more awk-
ward than his city brother at
first, but he has the advantage
of good habits, of not being
afraid of long hours and of being
willing to start at a very low
salary. The city man is rarely

No Place for Freddie.

The Capital News in an editor
ial under the heading "Not a
Democrat" has this to say of
Fred T. Dubois:
NOT A DEMOCRAT.
Fred T. Dubois laments the
fact that he has no Democratic
press behind him. Why should
he have? He is not a Democrat,
and never was. He never denied
being a Republican until a new
alignment of parties on the sill
yer question made it necessary
to switch or lose an office. He
somersaulted into the Demo-
cratic fold and he got the desired
office, but he never forgot his
lifelong teachings in the Republi-
can party. Today he is
so close to the Republi-
can president that it is openly
stated in Washington that he
will have a high-class appoint
ment at the hands of President
Roosevelt as soon as his sena-
torial term expires.
Senator Dubois assumed SUI
preme control of the Democratic
party in Idaho two years ago,
and as result of his manage
ment, not only was overwhelm-
ing defeat suffered but the party
became SO thoroughly disorgan-
lied that it has not yet recovered.
There is today but a semblance
of state or county organization.
With open Republican revolt
at machine dictation which
nominated an unpopular candi-
date with a defenseless record
for governor, the Democrats and
independent Republicans were
placed in a position to admins
ter certain defeat to the corrupt
machine nominee. But Senator
Dubois does not want a Demo-
cratic governor elected. That
might spoil his chances for an
office under Roosevelt. He must
therefore resurrect his worm
eaten chestnut, on Mormonlsm,
and make earnest endeavor to
increase the Republican ma aority
in the state. He made this his
paramount issue two years ago
and increased the Republican
majority from 5000 to 10000.
The people expressed their opin-
ion at. the ballot box in no un-
certain terms, but the senator
seems not to be satisfied with
that showing and is bent on in
creasing the majority.
The Capital News is not a Re-
publican organ and it must
decline to assist the senator in
his efforts, which are, no doubt,
very laudable from a Republican
standpoint"
The Republican organs of the
state with equal emphasis dis
claim him, so that poor Fred is
almost as bad off as Philip
Nolan he is "A Man Without a
Party"

WHIsTLER's WAYS.
Winning Street Children as Models and
Then firing Them Out.

The late famous but eccentric ar
fist, James Mcneil Whistler, had this
gift of winning children to like and
trust him. His friend. Mr.. Menpes,
has drawn an amusing picture of how
he would proceed with some stray
little child of the streets whose beauty
or picturesque tatters had caught his
eye. A few words and a smile and
the child would accompany him to her
home. A harder step was in explain
ing to the mother. who was willing
enough she should be painted, but
certain to desire 10 wash her up and
put on her best clothes, h a she must
come just as she was. But that con
coded and due payment promised, e
would sail off triumphantly with the
ragged mite trotting t~rustingly at his
side. And when Mr.. Whistler and his
model had arrived at the stud the ar
fist would c-y gayly:
Now we are going to do great
things together"
e he would prepare a luncheon,
set the table, and finally-a moment
of breathless interest to the small girl.
who had beer allowed t help in all
the preparatiOns-he would cook and
turn a beautiful Omelet n serve it
blazing hot on a big platter. They
would have a gay and festive meal to-
gether-and after that. business. He
would pose the child and begin TO
paint.
Once he began to paint he quite
forgot, except for the purpose of art,
that the child was a child. He never
asked or thought if she were growing
tired. He painted on and on. He would
have painted On until his little model
tainted with WEAKNESS had she sub
mitted SO long to the ordeal. Fortu-
nately, she was sure to protest in time,
although confidence in her new friend
usually inspired a really long period
of patient endurance, SO long, indeed
that when the inevitable protest came
it was of the most primitive inarticu-
late and irresistible kind.
There would be a sudden loud pro-
lOnged howl or an outburst Of tempes-
tuous sobs. The absorbed artist, great
ly annoyed, would cease work and turn
in beWilderment to his friend, exclaim-
ing helplessly:
"Pshaw! What's it all about? Can't
you give it something? Can't o buy
it something's"
But. although gifts often assisted
in soothing the exhausted and unhap-
py little model, the sitting was over,
and it sometimes took more gifts and
all Mr.. Whistler's powers of persua-
sion, even with another prospective
Omelet included, to induce his over
tired little friend to come again for
another one.-YOuth's Companion.

A ACCIDENT
Dray Horse Killed by Train at South
Front Street Crossing.

A horse belonging to Albert Fields,
a drayman, was u down and killed
by an Atlantic and North Carolina
train at about 1880 yesterday morning,
at the South Front street crossing.
The horse was in the care Of a boy
who had been very reckless with it.
The animal was running away at the
time and nothing but the shafts were
attached to it.
The train was moving slowly and
the horse plunged madly into it strik-
ing it between the second and third
cars. The poor animal fell between
the cars and the wheels ran over the
fore legs at the shoulder joint, cutting
Off both legs. There was a big hole
knocked in it's head also. presumably
made by the collision. The horse was
instantly killed.
The boy is said to have been in the
habit of driving the horse in a very
reckless and had got the horse
in a very a condition, causing it to
run away quite often. The horse is a
good one for it's purpose and it's loss is
