WAILINGS OF
THE PESSIMIST
"MAN's LIFE is FULL OF CROSSES
AND TEMPTATIONS"

A mans life, says the Chicago Trade
Journal is full of crosses and tempta
tions.
He comes into this world without
his consent and goes out against his
will, and the trip between the two is
exceedingly rocky. the rule of con-
traries is one of the important features
of the trip.
When he is little the big girls kiss
him, but when he is grown the little
girls kiss him.
If he is poor he is bad manager;
if he is rich he is dishonest.
If he needs credit he can't get it;
if he is prosperous every one wants
to do him favor.
If he's in politics it's for pie; if he's
out of politics, you can't place him,
and he's no good for his country.
If he doesn't give to charity he is a
stingy cuss; if he does, it is for show.
If he is actively religious he is a
hypocrite; if he takes no interest in
he is hardened sinner
If he shows affection, he is soft
specimen; if he seems to care for no
one he is cold-blooded.
If he dies young, there was a great
'uture ahead of him; if he lives to an |
I'D age, he has missed his calling.
The road is rocky, but man loves to
ravel it.

MORE WORKMEN

"Laborers," "Workmen," is the cry
all over the United States. The phos.
plate fields of Tennessee could use
5000 more men today than they have.
Railroad building here is retarded for
want of more laborers. The wheat
fields all over the state called for men
and had to in many instances, rely on
colored women at 81 per day. All this
is unmistakable signs of prosperity
but where will it end? There should
be no occasion for women to have to
go to the wheat fields; but there is,
and the principal reason is because
the men find much more profitable en-
ployment, all the year round in the
factory and phosphate mines. There
are colored men working in the phos
phate mines who make as high as SIS
a day, and were they to work every
day they could own fine homes, and
nice property; but the trouble with
many of this class of laborers, they |
stand prosperity. AS soon as
they get a stake on them they lay
down and won't "hit another peg" I'M !
Ill they have spent their earnings and
exhausted their credit. Really the
Try is for labor" better laborers,
aborers who will work six days in a
week, ten hours of each day This is
he kind of laborers we need here

WEST POINT-F'red Putzeer, the North

district court by the county judge on a
charge OF entering the dwelling house of
Frank Heller, has settled his case. owing
to the youth of the prisoner and the fact
of his parents being aged, respectable pen

a plea Of petty larceny The case was
therefore reopened and the defendant SEN

WEST POINT-The snow which had
been falling continuously for the last
thirty-six hours has abated. About fifteen
inches of solid snow has fallen, laying
perfectly level, there being absolutely no
wind. The immense amount Of moisture
which has fallen will be Of great benefit
to growing crops, as from Its even dis
tribution II is soaking into the ground
without any danger of flood The soil was
very dry and the general opinion seems to
be that the precipitation was just what
was needed and came in the best form. No
damage OF any kind is reported, either to
fruit buds or to growing grain from the
recent freezing weather.

NEW YORK, April 1s.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say;
Spring trade develops slowly because OF
unreasonable weather, but the lost ground
Will be recovered in large measures when
normal temperature prevails. Cold weather
has prevailed over unusually large areas
retarding agricultural progress, as well as
trade, as in lightweight wearing apparel
and other spring goods, but similar bad
starts In other years have sometimes
brought most favorable results. The only
actual damage OF any account is reported
in some winter wheat fields of the south
west, where insects and drouth combined

some other crop has been planted

supporting feature Is the curtailment Of
production. which Is unavoidable because
OF the scarcity OF labor.
