WHO WILL WIN?
Only Men and Organizations That
Have Great Purpose.

No organization can keep alive the
interest of its members without a
great purpose. The perfunctory meet
ing and the platitudinous address never
wins out. This is just as true of the
labor union as it is of the church or
any other movement The social as
pect of an organizations life is i'm
rortant, but oyster suppers, vaude-
Vile shows, smokers, and all the rest
of it never yet held together a COM
pany of earnest men who were sup
posedly banded together for the pur-
pose of really doing things. When an
organization is compelled to resort to
such features in order to hold its
men, it is an indication that some
where there is falling down, either
in leadership or in purpose. and it
is destined to fail.
No movement can long remain a
force when all men speak well of it.
There is danger in too much COM
mendation. Always will there be a
letting go when prosperity and flat
terry enter. and almost invariably it
may be said that the man who is al
ways approved by everybody doesn't
count for much as a real power. The
man or the movement which lives and
grows is bound to make mistakes. He
who never makes Mistakes never
makes anything else. The call to

Washington, ID. c., July 23.-Ine
Civil Service examinations to be held
today for the position of forest ranger
in the United States forest reserve
service afford an excellent opportunity
for Young men to get a start in new
profession suitable as life business.
The profession of expert forester is
RAPIDLY assuming a high Importance
in this country and no better opportu:
nify to learn it thoroughly can be had
than in the government service. the
position of forest ranger offers the ad-
ditional advantage that man can
earn a living salary while learning the
business.
The forest rangers are the men who
actively patrol the different reserves
and protect them from fire and dep
relation. The pay for the beginner
is s72O a year. Out of this salary he
is required TO furnish his own horses
and feed them. But the policy OF the
department is to promote the men who
show an aptitude for the work and
thus the salary gradually goes up UNI
til the best rangers get as high as
S14OO a year. They live in cabins
in the woods and are allowed TO have
their families with them if desired.
A candidate for ranger must be in
good health and able to take care of
himself and horses in regions remote
from settlement and supplies. He
must have knowledge of trail building,
construction of cabins, riding, packing,
etc, and must know something of sur
veying, estimating and scaling timber,
logging land laws, mining and
live stock And in Arizona and New
Mexico he must also know enough
Spanish to do business with Mexican
users of the national forests. Work
ing under the direction of the super
visor the rangers duties include pa
troll to prevent fires and trespass,
estimating, surveying and marking
timber, supervising of cutting, and
similar work, all of which a man
thoroughly familiar with forest re-
gions and possessing a fair education
ought to fulfill. Experience, health
and sound knowledge of forest condi-
tons are sought by the government
rather than book education. From
ranger the promotions lead to the po-
sition of supervisor with salary pos
sibilities running up TO $4,000

rades at the court of Berlin, but they
do not do so any more. 1t is all Prince
Henry's fault Prince Henry is an
inveterate joker and the "enfant ter
rible" of the German royal family
Last year after the Christmas eve
supper at the palace of Potsdam the
empress proposed that they should play
at charades. She commenced and,
placing a silver spoon before her eyes.
looked at 1t fixedly.
What does that signify" she asked
Il looking at that silver spoonT"
One after the other the guests were
questioned. Not one Of them could
find the exact solution, and each had
to pay the fine demanded At last it
came to Prince Henry's turn.
''Loffelgans." said he.
"Loffelgans" is the name of a sort
of goose whose bill resembles a spoon,
a species very common in Germany.
The empress turned pale with anger,
while the guests bit their lips. A few
seconds later her majesty rose and re-
tired to her apartments. The solution
which she had in her mind was. "Sil-
berbllck," regard d'argent." Charades
have not been played by the German
royal family since.-London Globe.
