ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

Remember, my son, you have to
work. Whether you handle a pick
or a pen, a wheelbarrow or set of
books, digging bitches or editing a
paper, ringing an auction bell, or
writing funny things, you must
work. If you look around you will
see that the men that are most able
to live the rest of their days with
out work are the men that worked
the hardest. Don't be afraid of
killing yourself with work. 1t is
beyond your power to do that on
the sunny side of thirty. They die
sometimes but it is because they
quit work at six p. IN. and don't get
home until two a. IN. It's the
interval that kills, my son. The
work gives you an appetite for your
meals, it lends solidity to your
slumbers, it gives you perfect and
grateful appreciation of holiday.
There are young men who do not
work, but the world is not proud Of
them. It does not know their names
even, it simply speaks of them as
''old So-and-so's boy" nobody likes
them, the busy word does not know
they are there. So find out what
to be and do, and take off your coat
and make dust in the world. The
buster you are the less harm you
will likely get ;nto, the sweeter will
be your sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the
better satisfied will the world be
with you.

The stiffness of the crowd which was

over some especially coveted seat when

to the effect of the girls story. She
told of her arrival at New York, of her
life here and eventually the acceptance
by her mother of the thrice-refused in
vitation of a girl of the theater to meet
some of her friends at luncheon. The

they were people in New York society,

The recent report of the joint
postal commission, authorized at
the last session of congress to in
vest1gate the second class mail ques-
ton, has been made public and is of
interest to publishers generally.
The recommendation of the COM
mission are considered drastic and
if put in effect will make radical
changes in the postal service of the
government. OF interest to pub
fishers of newspapers is the increase
in the second class postage rate
which is advocated. Printed matter
is divided into two classes, that
which is sent by single copy and
that sent in bulk. Where a news
paper or other publication is send in
bulk, the package weighing not less
than ten pounds, the present rate of
one cent a pound is recommended.
Where single copy of a newspaper
or other publication is sent through
the mails, the commission favors a
charge of an eighth of a cent an
ounce where such single cOpiesdonot
exceed two ounces in weight each;
fourth of cent where the pack
age does not exceed four ounces;
three-quarters of a cent where it
does not exceed eight ounces; one
and one-fourth cents where it does
not exceed twelve ounces and one
and three-quarter cents where it
does not exceed sixteen ounces.
The charge is increased proportion
ateIy on single copies with the in
crease in weight. The commission
urges a progressive reduction in the
compensation for carrying the mails
on railroads, cutting the amount
paid on this account about $4,000,
900 a year. Publications consist
ing wholly or substantially of fic-
ton, 1t is recommended, shall be
refused the second class rate. The
creation of a postal appeals COM
mission of three members, to have
the power of final decision as TO adj
mission of publications to second
class rates, is proposed. Another
recommendation is that publica-
ton entered as second class mail
matter must not contain advertise
ments covering over so per cent of
its superficial area.

We heard one of our young men
making sport of religion in front OF
our office the other day. His NOUS
tach had just began to sprout and
Judging from his talk his mental
faculties were not as we'll developed
as his moustache. During our brief
stay upon earth we have seen
many just such young men cold In
death. We have seen the atheist at
rest in his casket, but before being
consigned to their last resting place
they have all been carried through
the doors of a church and had
prayers said over them. Fhis
young man could scott at religion IN
his strength and beauty OF health,
but if the dark angel should get
after him he would instlnctively re-
gret what he said and look into the
future with fear and trembling.
When one stands before the open
door of eternity his desire to scott
at religion vanishes. We admit
there are bad men in the church,
but even these black sheep in the
flock might be blacker if they were
outside. No young man, or old
one either, should condemn the
noble efforts of the army OF
Christian men and women are max
ing towards lettering the condition
of things. and whether we attend
church or not but few OF us would
desire to live in a community where
there was no church. Young man,
in the future. if. you must scott at
religion, please get little further
from our office if you do not want
to see your name in print.

IS A WARNING.

In the sad death of Miss Mae
Douglas. the Winona girl who met
an untimely end at Madison by TAX
ing a dare to descend d rope fire
escape, is a lesson which should
sink deep into the minds Of all
afflicted with the desire to risk life
and limb rather than be laughed at.
Human nature recoils under the ac-
crsation of being a coward and
rather than give i'm or show the
white feather, persons old and
young will do things which, if they
were to pause and survey while
free from the influence under which
dares are taken, would forever cure
them of the insane desire to be
''game" just because someone dares
them.
While the unfortunate death of
Miss Douglas will bring sorrow to
many it is a warning which, if
needed, will preserve her memory
as that of one who unconsciously
died a martyr TO a good cause.

Mrs. Thaw, reSuming, told of how
she came back from Europe month
ahead of Thaw. During that month
friends of Stafford White had told her
many stories about the young Pitts
burg millionaire, and when he returned
to the United States she refused to see
him except in the presence Of a third
person. When he asked her why she
acted so she told him the stories. One
was that Thaw had put a girl into a
bath tub and turned scaldidg water
upon her. Another was that he was adj
dicted to the use of morphine, and a
third declared that he had tied girls
to bed posts and beaten them.

Success generally belongs to the
person who does not waste his time.
Time is too precious TO be wasted,
vet a lot of it is useless because it
is used carelessly. Be sure that
your time is used in pursuits that
are worth while and will result in
some material benefit to yourself
and those around you. To occupy
yourselves in frivolous pursits and
with things that are worth nothing
but temporary pleasure is worse
than frittering it away in plain
