Ability, Not Age.

About three years ago railroad
company in the central west an
nounced that it had fixed the age
limit for new employees at thirty
five years. Several other railroad
companies promptly adopted the
idea. Now the Original-shall we
say offender ?-has declared that
henceforth ability, not age, will
count in the case of those who seek
situations, and probably the imita-
tive corporations will follow this
precedent even more willingly than
they adopted the other.-Youth's
Companion.

An Idaho educator contends
that the average graduate is a
failure and denounces the present
system of education on the grounds
that it tends to create, feeling OF
caste, and urges that students be
required to put in part of each day
learning some trade. This view,
whilepessimistic in the extreme, is
not without elements of truth. 1t
depends entirely on the graduate
and the boywho has allowed his
parents tochoose his career for him
without regard for his own prefer
ences, abilities and taste, is pretty
apt to fail. Some men cannot take a
classical education and many more
cannot adapt such an education to
their own purposes when they
have acquired it. For such as
these technical education is adapt
ed. If there were more judgment
used before the boy was sent off to
college, there would be fewer fail
ures afterwards. There is nothing
wrong with the education; but the
adoption of the individual is the
trouble. -L.ampasas Leader.

Money In Tabasco Peppers.

A recent number of the Seguin
Enterprise says: "Mr. J. B. Wells
of Willow Springs was in town
this week and speaking of his
pepper crop said that from five
acres he raised one hundred barrels
of tabasco peppers which he had
sold to Northern parties for $40 per
barrel. He would have raised
more but the frost cut his yield
down. The pepper grew about
three feet high and so deeply root
ed it could not be pulled up by
hand. 1t is an expensive crop to
handle but it paid him we'll.

Mineola Monitor: | never knew
man to be successful who was
always talking about business be-
ing bad. Never allow yourself to
dwell on the dark side of anything.
You should refuse to talk about
depressed markets or hard times.
Learn to talk up, not down. Many
business men become chronic
grumblers and fault-hnders. Times
are always hard with them. Other
men get into a pessimistic rut and
never see brightness or success in
anything. 1t is impossible for such
people to prosper. Success is a
delicate plant and requires encour-
agement and sunshine. The world
loves sunny, hopeful, buoyant
characters; it shuns all lugubrious
prophets. who see only failure and
disaster everywhere. The hope
full, cheerful men who SEE sue
cess and longevity in their callings
are the ones who are sought after.
It is as natural to try to avoid dis
agreeable, unpleasant people as it
is to try to escape smallpox or
yellow fever. Really, the fellow
who predicts evil is worse than
either.

Letter Carriers Scars.

Show me letter carrier" said a postal official, "ard I'll show you somewhere or other on the man the scar of a dogs teeth. Letter carriers hate dogs, and with good reason, for they are continually getting nipped. It is at houses with front gardens that they are troubled most. Dogs run loose in these gardens, and it is their delight to bite letter carriers. myself have two scars on my hand and two on my leg. Take a census of every trade, and I'll guarantee that the letter carriers will lead all in their percentage of dog scars"

MISSOURI HIGHWAYMAN
Rsbs Imperial Valley Capitalist. W, r. HOIt Relieved of Small Sum
 By "ShOw Me" Bandit

A train on the Rock Island railroad vas held up one day last week near a place called Slater, In the State oi Missouri. A loan robber relieved the passengers of their money and vaIu- ables in true Jesse James style. He refused to take the money and jeVelry that belonged to the lady passengers remarklng that Jesse James never did so. The following from the Chicago Daily Journal will be of interest to our readers. as 1t gives the experience ot Mir. w. F. Holt with the road agent:
 THREATENS TWO WITH DEATH
 The holdup occurred at Slater. Mo-, fifteen miles vest of Glasgow. The porter was standing on the front steps of the rear car at Slater, when the masked man, a revolver In each hand, jumped on the step and shouted;
 Hold up your hands. III kill the first man that moves"
 Woods obeyed the command, but cried out warning to the passengers and the other members of the train crew. Wake up. The hold up man rhNufaH
 With one hand holding the revolver covering the frightened train employees the robber quickly parted the curtains of each berth, demanded the money of the passengers, threatening to shoot them. The passengers were dazed with the suddenness of the hold up and terror stricken.
 w. F. Holt, of Redladds. Cal, an- ticipated him when the commotlon was heard and placing valuable papers and several hundred dollars beneath his pillow. he handed the robber his 
 purse, containing Sl4.
 CHICAGO WOMEN ESCAPE ROBBERY
 The berth occupied by Mrs. and Miss Blair was in the rear of the car They heard the train robber disturb the other passengers and waited hi:  coming in fright.
 The robber parted the curtains, but when he saw the frightened faces oi the women he said:
 II won't disturb the women. have never robbed a woman yet and l am not going to now. Don't be frightened"

 If the court committing htm ta jail Senator Butt. through his attorney. cd. C. W. Murphy, instituted habeas
 corpus proceedings to prevent his i'm mediate Imprisonment.
 Senator Butt was called before Jdge Lea at o'clock this afternoon and asked if he still refused to answer certain questions asked him by the grand jury. To this, he replied that with the exception of some six ques- tons, he was willing to answer, but that as regarded questions numbered 1s. +. If, g, 31 and 32, he firmly be- 1 lieved that to answer them would be incriminating himself alone, take from him his rights and liberties. He had no desire, he said, to oppose the wishes of the court but he believed the questions marked Were directed against him alone. The questions in dispute are thought to refer to the let ters Senator Butt is alleged to have written to T. l.. Cox, in which he is said to have asked for railroad trans portation and also referring to the alleged maintenance by Butt of rooms
 l this city to meet with lobbyists.
 Judge Lea then instructed Senator Butt on the law in the case. stating that where the questions referred to the guilt of witness as well as others the answer would be compulsory as witness was fully protected in his con stutional rights. If any of the ques- tlons asked tended 10 incriminate on y the witness he could not be made to answer. Judge Lea stated that he mad read the list of questions in dis fute and that while some of them taken connected and alone might in- erlminate witness, yet their connec- llons with what followed made all necessary and taken as a whole would lot tend to incriminate the witness. dudge Lea therefore held that witness must answer all questions as orginal- ly asked.
