II know" said business man OF
wide experience, how crowded with
studies the schools are now, and ]
should be 10th to recommend the in

wish sometimes that the boys and
girls who are giving time to so many
little fads cotiad be induced to give
more to the art of writing letters
He did not refer to the mere art Of
writing correct English or the art Of
writing an interesting personal let
ter, but to the preparation of really
good business letters, in which the
matter in hand should be treated not
only clearly and concisely, but also
courteously The need he mentioned,
says Youths Companion, is one which
is felt by thousands of business men,
and may well claim the attention of
young people of soth sexes who look
forward to business life. The ability
to write intelligibly is not rare, but
the capacity to write in such a way
as to produce pleasant personal feel
ing for the house one represents is
extremely rare. Many writers fail in
the matter of courtesy-either in way
of constant omission of articles and
constant abbreviation, or, more COM
monty, in neglecting to give the other
man the benefit of the doubt In
other words. the fault with most bust

State Boundary Decisions.

Two important decisions have re.
Gently been handed down by the Unit
ed States supreme court, establishing
the boundaries between states. Louis
lana and Mississippi went to law over
the marshy and once valueless islands
extending eastward from st. Bernard
parish, near the Chandelier islands.
Pearl river is the boundary between
the states. When it was found that
the islands were among the finest oys-
ter reefs in the world, each state
claimed them and set about organizing
oyster police to control them. Mis-
sissippi held that its state line ran
directly out to sea from the mouth Of
Pearl river and gave it all the islands
turned eastward in the ship channel
toward Cat island. The supreme court
has decided that all y est of Cat island
belongs to Louisiana. AS there are
many canneries in Mississippi and
the Louisiana law will prevent their
obtaining oysters in that state, Mis-
sissippi will probably fill in extensive
artificial reefs for oyster culture along
ita own shore. The other decision was
in a suit between Iowa and Illinois.
growing out of the right to take rail
way bridges across the Mississippi
river. The boundary was the middle
of the river" Iowa maintained that
this meant half way between the
banks; Illinois contended for the mid
die of the steamboat channel. The
supreme court upheld the contention
of Illinois, and recommended that the
boundary be officially marked wherever
possible to avoid confusion from shift
ing and tickle channels.

A Growing Industry.

There is an industry in this city of
the existence of which but few are
aware. Reference is made to the
manufacturing plant of j. C. Jaeger,
612 Western avenue, who manufactures
bank, drug store and office furniture and
fixtures, that will compare more than
favorably with those manufactured
elsewhere. Yesterday afternoon, he
shipped carload of fixtures consisting
of counters, shelving, cases, draws,
etc., to w. R. Thorpe at Milton juno
ton for which he received $500. The
fixtures were made of antique oak
and very highly polished and were
exceedingly fine. credit to Mr.. Jae-
ger and the city of Watertown and
demonstrated what could be done here
by a mechanic who understood his
business.

Kind Of Men Needed,

If one were to go to the pre6itent Of
The country's greatest need, he would
reply in his quick, conclusive way:
Clean men" He knows, says the De-
Ifneator Smart men there are by the
thousands; rich men abound more than
IN any other age OF the world; able
men are found in every state and
township, but even from population
OF 10000 900 the chief executive has
difficulty in finding the man of eXcep-
tional character for a post which re-
quires a square and tiawless morality.
1t is to his credit that he misses no Op-
portunity to preach manhood. But
neither presidents nor preachers nor
teachers can do the work of fathers
except in their own families. We do
not mean to underestimate the marvel
Gus influence of the mother. In most
lands men who reach success give
their mothers the credit 'All that
I am l owe to my mother" said Lin
coin. 1T was you who taught me
to write So You really did, dear moth

our moral qualities from our moth
crs. our mental from our fathers, say
the psychologists, and as we look back
we find this maternal affection the
lovellest thing on earth. But isn't there
a conviction down deep in our souls
that we should have done much better
if our fathers had taken time and
trouble to share oud condolences in the
wears that counted most?

that song birds and even the larger

Thebarce Heinrich Bout.

The wrestling match between Joe
Heinrich, the Spokane strong boy,
and Joe Thebarge, the champion of
Montana, which will be pulled off
Saturday night at the Orpheum the
alter, is already attracting consider
able attention. Both of the men are
evenly matched, both as to weight
and build. Thebarge appears to be
the heavier of the two, but they tip
the beam at almost the same weight.
Heinrich is said to have been
trained up to a very scientific point
and still continues in daily training
under his manager, Duncan McMil-
Ian. Thebarge is employed with the
mill company, and says he gets near
~ all the training he cares for in his
daily duties.
The match promises to be a fast
one, and the best man will win.
