Huntina a Job in the City.

different thing than in country town. A man huntin. work can cal' on every employer in few hours i'll any town where ha would be likely to find work: he would tramp the streets of great city for weeks without tin1- ing a position. while there might be dozens Of places waiting for him if he could locate them. There are tWo thines fer him to do, one is to adver, tise. he other is to go to an empiof- n}ent agency.
 These a&enci'e e1a bic business, most of them on tha sQl9ar". h'it !'9'E f youn4 fellow has been fleecod ont of all he brought With him from the eeHntlE. under the promise of work )1 an agency. This rGsa i. worked: A man is advertised fer to fl! q cf"'. tain position say as forenlan. \ doz= en mon apply, each paying fee of from two to five dollars, but only ona man gets the job if there is any job to get.
 The Y. M. c. A. has gone into the and boys. The associations in New York city alone found work for twen- ty-eight hundred last year. The 30 ton association filed .s25 places. Chi caco SIP. Cleveland LOSS. The total salaries of the men throughout the country for whom the associations found positions last year amounted to $2.6SO,O 900. computed on their first weeks pay, which time and again has been doubled. Every man pays 2 small fee
 No young man gets a place through the association as an act of charitE He gets it on his ability alone. The irresponsible, shiftless. lazy. drunken fellow soon finds that the association employment department has nothing for him. He has got to stand on his own feet and face his business recor,l to get d business position. Every rec ord is looked up. The 23rd street branch. New York City, met and sift- ed the character of over four thous- and men and boys during the year. The employment secretary often meets one hundred applicants a day. He finds out why a yOnng man left his last place: cOunsals with him ana helps him at the most trying time e life with experience gained from daily contact with the city's business life. He knows what business men require and the rocks on which young fellows go to smash Business men are deal with squarely and the applicant for employment fairly. It is not unusual that a young fellow who has register ed and is called upon to write his rec ord, fails to show up again. The five hundred to one thousand men in an association educational classes, whr have developed larger capacity. find no difficulty in getting places.
 Country bred young men are always in demand One large employer was asked the reason why he always ask ed for young men from the country. He said: s'They like to work bet ter and are in earnest. They are Of cleaner blood. Boarding in the town and paving their full expenses makes them hustle. They are young men Of better habits. They do not always look at the clock. They stick to the iob longer and work harder,
 Boys find that it does not ra% r. deceive, as one did who registered in his brothers name. when investi@a- toin showed the fraud. One memh who was discharged from deGNar ment store for refusing to call dc. nestle goods "imported,' was sur prised when he was asked to take q responsible position in a bank in 8 suburban city. The head Of the partment house was director of th9 bank, and when asked for a man Of integrity nominated him, saying: "l know your man."
 Tn asking for men, employers most frequent demand are for those who are industrious, capable and willing "punctual. accurate and obliging. mot afraid to work.
