The aPull" and the Job.

Business men are constantly being
pestered BY young men who seek posi-
tons through letters Of recommends
ton, often In the form Of personal re-
quests from fellow business men. One
may well question whether these let
ters have any great pulling power
after all. The Saturday Evening Post
tells Of such an instance. After being
very politely dismissed by several
managers with the stereotyped express
sion that there was not q vacancy at
present the young man tore up the let
tiers and went back to the place last
visited. fEs. VI s

Had = Slow but Sure Gait.

There have been numerous disap-
pointments in the outcome Of some Of
the boys. We remember one boy in
particular who was the butt Of all ridi-
cule from the boys Of his age, and he
took it good naturedly. He seemed to
have no particular friends and herded
by himself. His clothes always looked
funny, and he had that awkward swag-
ger over which the rest OF us had
much sport. No one ever thought that
that plug would ever get anywhere or
have anything. But today that plug
is drawing better salary than any

money, more influence and more

Burmese Incidence.
Burma Is said to be peopled by about
the LATEST race in the world. Work is
never done except when absolutely
necessary, and even then as little as
possible, and that In the easiest, most
shiftiess manner. If a Burman wishes
to cultivate piece of ground he sets
fire to the bushwood as a cheap, easy
and eficacious method Of preparing
the virgin soil. For two or three years
he cultvates that piece Of land and
sets fire to another spot, allowing the
jungle to grow In the old place, which
will be ready for returning when the
other ground wants rest. Rice grow
ers dispense with ploWs, turning loose
Instead number of buffaloes, which
cut up the saturated sod with their
hoofs. When Burman has earned q
little money he Immediately proceeds
to spend it all, for the Burmese have
no ambition to be rich and never
hoard. Consequently there are no
large landowners, and, there being no
aristocracy, the people are as near be- i
ing on an equality as possible. Poor
folk are quite as rare as the rich, and
the only beggars to be met are the
tepers, who sit on the steps Of the
pagodas. 3

TELEGRAMS.
They May Be Opened and Read and
Refused by the Receiver.


Refused by the Receiver.
.'Of the many popular suggestions
which al. erroneous" said a telegra-
pher to reporter, zone is that the adj
dressee or the receiver Of telegram
upon which the tolls are to be collect
ed must pay the charges il he opens
the envelope and reads the message.
This, however, is not correct, but it
Is astonishing how universal is this
belief. There are many ways of ac-
counting for it and perhaps one may
be attributed to the fact that. q letter
sent through the mails upon which
postage is due and collectible is sur
rendered to the addressee only upon
the payment Of the necessary deficient
postage. =
.sMuch more Importance attaches to
telegram than to a letter on the part
Of the recipient, and 1t Is seldom that
q person will refuse to receive and to
I pay for telegram sent collect though
an individual might refuse to pay the
I additional postage due upon d letter,
holding that If the sender did not es-
TEEN it Of sufficient importance to full
" prepay 1t the addressee did not care
to receive 1t. But there Is ALWAYS
more or less Importance regarding a
telegram, and many persons have re-
ceived a collect telegram and then
afterward kicked themselves because
they were required to pay the charges
But telegram may be opened, read
and refused precisely as the addressee
Of letter may refuse to receive let
ter. In the latter instance the adj
dressee does not open the envelope,
but indorses thereon the words Re
fused by addressed and signs his
name, and this is the course to pursue
with a telegram which the addressee
does not desire to accept, only; the en-
velope may first be opened.
The telegraph company protects it
self in always insisting at the time of
the receipt, Of a collect message that
the sender shall deposit with the re-
ceiver q sufficient sum to pay for the
full tolls, and if this is not demanded
and received by the clerk accepting
the message he is held personally re.
sponsible by; the company in the event
of the message being refused at the
other end of the line
Many persons send collect tele-
grams, often at great length and con-
siderable cost, as a means of annoy
aIace or as a JOKE on the recipient, but
the joke may be turned on the other
fellow BY simply refusing to pay the
charges. There is one exception, how
ever, to the rule, and the public might
bear it in mind to advantage. Often
kilograms are sent which require a di-
rect and Immediate answer. In these
instances the collect charges are ex-
pected to be paid, whether the recip-
lent likes the message or not, and 1T is
seldom that we have trouble In such
cases as regards the tolls. Washing.

mo sour and the Beard.

In Russia it was the common belief
up to the time of Peter the Great that
beardless men were also soulless and
that a man who purposeiy admitted
having his beard marred could never
enter heaven. The great Peter above
referred to ordered his heathens to
shave up, SO as to appear more civil
Hzed, and when they refused to comply;
with his edict he fined the wealthy and
middle classes 100 rubIes for each
beard that was permitted to grow and
each peasant and laborer kopeck for
the same privilege Finally the priests
were appealed to, and they informed
their practitioners that unless they sub
mitted to having their boards shaved
they need not expect that st. Nicholas,
the gatekeeper OF heaven, would be
able to distinguish them from the
bearded Turks. That had the desired
effect.

Sterling Qll) Evening Gazette :
Father Vaughan is one of the most
polished orators who has ever spoken
in Sterling. The lecture was couched
in most beautiful flow of English.
| While it was filled to the brim with
scholarly thought, pure and whole
some in it's every sentiment, at times
it reached magnificent heights of elo-
quence which held the sympathic and
admiring crowd in rapt attention.
Father Vaughan is by common con-
sent one of the most delightful speak
ers to whom Sterling people have
ever listened. He scored a pronounc-
ed hit at the recent session of the
Sterling Chautauqua, but his effort
last night was distinct triumph. His
beautiful address on "The Land of
Possibilities" will never be forgotten
| by those who heard it.
