NEATNEss is PROFITABLE.

The potency of a clean shirt was
manifested very forcibly the other day
day in an establishment in this city
A young man applied for a position
He was stranger in the city. He
had come across the country on hot
sultry summer day and the persplra
ton had flowed more than freely. His
unshorn locks and stubby whiskers
did not add anything to his attractive
ness. Without taking the time to clean
up, he went to the place where man
was wanted and made application for
a job. The manager looked him over
and questioned him as to his capacity
and capability. He was something oil
puzzle, because with all of his un.
couthness he had an intelligent air
about him and gave evidence of being
pretty well equipped for any ordinary
position. But his appearance was very
much aaginst him and he was turned
away. He had an acquaintance in the
city in whom he confided. He told OF
his failure to get position where he
was almost sure he would be success
full. The friend suggested to him that
he patronize barber, and bath tub
and then put on some clean clothing.
The fellow took kindly to the advice.
did as commended and the next day
presented himself again to the estab-
lishment. The manager greeted him
affably and after some conversation
recognized him as the same fellow
who on previous occasion had made
application for position. He got the
job. This little incident carries with
it suggestive lesson. II pays to be
as neat and tidy In person as the sur
roundings will permit. The fellow
who gets too careless to even clean up
on Sunday is in rather pitiable po-
sition.

New York City, who makes 1t bust.
ness to get positions for deserving
young men, has met with many dis
couragements because Of the lack OF
Tneatness and cleanliness on the part
of the applicants. In recent state
ment giving the cause Of many fail
ures in obtaining positions he says:
1T is largely the fault of the appli-
cants. Time and again men who need
a shave, whose clothes are not clean,
whose linen needs much to be desired
ask for work. If they applied to an
employer in that shape they could new
er get job. Sometimes man may
be all right otherwise, but have dirty
nails or unkempt hair, and just these
little things often explain his failure
to get work. In these cases we give
little advice and as delciately as
possible tell the man to try what clean
linen and little sprucing up VIII 90,
and it often works wonders. For a
man who looks like a failure cannot
talk like a success. Another source
of failure to rise is the fact that many
men who take positions at small
salary to tide over, instead of doing
their best work, regard themselves as
underpaid and do only as much as
they think they are paid to do. As a
result, when they get chance for a
higher position, their references from
the old temporary position are SO bad
that they fail to get the good opening.

AND MATURE.

Fort Dodge Chronicle: Nature is
never dalL and the footpathway,
mans only approach to nature, is
full of interest, you are walking
slowly through your fayorite woods,
under the overhanging boughs, up to
your shoulders in the tangle of sweet
smelling bushes, the peace of I'M
adulterated nature all about you,
when suddenly you hear buzz, a
buzz, a half racket, half roar, perhaps
like the noise of some giant mosquito,
or the far-away- echo of big bass
drum, and presto! there comes along
queer-looking object, a funny, little,
rickety, bumpety thing, a narrow
house on WHEELS, with many open win
dows, and pleasant people looking out
of them.
1t is the trolley car of the inter.
urban road on its hourly trip. 1t
comes buzzng along, goes by in a
flash, End disappears from your aston
ished vision before you can quite take
it in, and leaves you wondering what
our grandfathers would have thought
had they beheld with prophetic eye
this strange and wandering concern.
The much talked of and much be-
praised pioneers who moved from
Kentucky and Ohio to Illinois and
Iowa, and then scattered all over the
glorious west, came in slew moving
wagons drawn by the patient oxen, or
teams of strong, we'll broken horses.
How often have we heard the story,
the modern Odyssey of the new world.
The father, mother and small children
in a great covered wagon, in which
they rode by day and slept at night,
the half-grown boys and single men
on horseback and part of the time on
foot, to drive the cattle and guard the
goods.
This new device for, the comfort and
aid of the farmer will soon win a
friendly place in his heart. OF course
we love the wood road best, and the
common highway is like an old
friend. The road which goes straight
from one point to another is a scien
list and not poet. 1t may be a fine
servant, and we can find use for 1t
but as friend and companion give
us the meandering road, with its con
slant surprises, its up hill and down
| dale its sunshine and shadow. The
road which may be seen mile ahead
may be fine speedway, but it is not
capable of arousing the imagination
We are all proud Of the trolley, but
i for comfortable going and coming
give us our old-fashioned country
road.

CONFERS ON ALTON BATH
HoNAPARTE INVESTIGATES ITS
CLAIM TO IMMUNITY.
Attorney General Wishes to Talk
with Judge Lands Before An.
nouncing His Decision.

Washington, Aug. 2o.-Attorney
General Bonaparte Monday made a
searching investigation to determine
If the Chicago & Alton railroad is en-.
titled to immunity from prosecution
for granting rebates to the Standard
Oil company. which was recently fined
$29,240,000 by United States Judge
Lands for accepting rebates from this
road.
From II o'clock in the morning
until late In the afternoon Mr.. Bona.
parte was In conference with District
Attorney Sims, of Chicago; Charles b.
Morrison, special attorney for the gov.
eminent In the Standard OIL cases;
Special Assistant District Attorney
Wilkerson and counsel for the Rock
Island railroad, which owns a majority
of the stock of the Chicago & Alton.
At the conclusion of the conference
the attorney general announced that
he would make no statement until
after he had further communicated
with Judge Lands, which he hoped to
do without delay. The decision in the
case, 1t is said, will depend largely
upon Judge Lands reply to the at
torney general. If the fact is estab-
lished that Mr.. Morrison promised
immunity and the road carried out its
agreement in good faith, 1t is said that
the department of justice will order
proceedings against the road aban-
doned. r .. -.a.t
A transcript of the testimony taken
in the Standard Oil hearings before
Judge Lands in the United States
court was brought here by District At.
torney Sims for Mr.. Bonaparte's con-
sideration. Mr.. Sims left for New
York Immediately after the confer.
ence and counsel for the railroad com.
pany declined to make any statement
regarding what took place at the con-
ference.

IOWA IN SUMNER TIME.

Manson Journal: 1t is doubtful II in
all the wide world there is a more
beautiful spot than can be found in
Iowa in the summer time. The
months of June and July are the most
inviting, although some would select
the time when the grain is in the
shock, instead of when it is waving in
the fields. There is not spot in the
vast bounds of the state that is bare
of verdure during these months. The
corn covers the ground at this time of
the year and the beautiful fields Of
wheat and oats wave and glisten in
the sunlight. The pastures and hay
fields are green. Large groves and
hedges make a pleasant contrast to
the beautiful scene as far as the eye
can reach. The song of birds and the
hum of insects fill the air and all ma
ture beams with life. Iowa is in the
full bloom of her youth and can be
compared to nothing more readily
than a maiden in her teens.
