The Denver Republican, with the
breezy optimism of the west, makes
reference to characteristic of Amer
leans that is not always understood
abroad The Republican says:
There is no other country in the
world in which the words business
failure" means so little as in America
In the older and more cautious ma
tons of Europe, where all business is
along more conservative lines, the
man who fails is usually down and
out" He either blows out his brains
or takes to drink and makes himself
bore to his friends telling about the
days of his prosperity. Europe is full
of shabby genteel' persons who have
seen better days and who have not
the faintest idea Of going to work to
make those days come back again.
Such miserable exhibition of COW
ardice does not appeal to the Ameri-
can. All the American business man
asks is good health and fair field
and he will consider failure as mere
incident that gives one valuable ex-
perience to be utilized in the future.
The man who is bowled over today is
on his feet and in the center of the
struggling throng tomorrow

MRS. DAN M. MuLLIN DEAD.
Wife of Prominent MeIrose Merchant
Passed Away Wednesday
N Afternoon

Tyrone.-Mrs. d. M. Mullin, of Mel
rose. died at her home in this city al
1870 Wednesday afternoon after three
weeks of suffering. Her death is par
ticularly pathetic in that she leaves
large family Of small children, the
Youngest of which is but a few weeks
DID,. bereft of mothers care, who
mourn with their sorrow stricken
rather, the departure Of good woman.
Mrs. Mullin was the daughter of the
late James Kelly, who resided for
number of years in Franklin township

ices being conducted by Rev. Father

Edwadd. the fifteen year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas Carr, of jackson
township lies dangerously Ill at the
home of his parents, four miles north

Married at Georgetown.
The marriage of Patrick Keleher, of
Georgetown to Miss Mary T. Coffee, Of
Omaha, was solemnized at st. Pat
rick's church in Georgetown Tuesday

in the machine. And outside of their
own particular department they were

in the machine. And outside of their
own particular department they were
OF no value to the urn.
An eastern corporation which en-
ploys large number of men has
taken steps to remedy this. A book
has been published at the expense CT
the firm which gives complete inform
alton of the workings of each cog in
the machine. The employees are fur
nished copies free and are expected
to master not only the portions
pertaining to their own work,
but the entire book. A new employee
is told to read his manual and do
nothing else until he has thoroughly
mastered it. This gives him a gen
eral knowledge of the business, and
if there are any points he does not
understand they are cleared up before
he begins work. Quizzes are held, too
at frequent intervals and the en-
ployes must show they know the 9th
er mans work as well as their own.
This plan, however, while successful
In big establishment, is not neces-
sary in smaller business. There
every man has ample opportunity to
learn the business if he will apply
himself. If he lifts his thoughts above
the blowing of the whistle on week
days and the pay envelope on Satur-
day night and takes a real interest
in his employers business, he will
find time to learn enough of that bust
ness to fill a post above when va
cancy occurs.
And he will gain as much as his en-
ployer by proving himself more than
mere cog in the machine.

THE BOY, BASEBALL AND THE
CORNER OF

Certain hypochondriacal citizens Of
Chicago petitioned Chief of Police
Shippy to prevent the boys from play
ing ball on vacant lots They COM
planned about the noise and dirt the
boys made. The chief promptly ignor-
ed the petitions and let it be known
that the boys would be unmolested IN
their ball playing so long as they
We're not disorderly and did not break
windows
This problem of the boy, the vacant
lot and the game of baseball comes
up every year about the time the pa
pers begin printing the box scores,
and Chicago is not alone in wrestling
with it. Every city and every town
has it's vacant lots, it's boys and its
baseball and every city and every
town, too, has it's full motto OF citi-
zens who deem it a crime when lit.
tie sunshine is allowed to enter into
the life of youth.
Chief Shippy need not fear that he
will arouse any serious enmity by sid
ing with the "kids." The people he
will displease would be displeased
anyway, as they are largely of the
pessimistic class who never allow
themselves to be happy.
There is something wrong with the
make up Of people who cannot be-
come enthused over a game of ball,
especially if the players are the boys
of the neighborhood The lessons the
boy is learning in playing that game
will help him in playing the larger
game of life. The exercise in the
open, the muscles called into play and
the judgment he will exert will all aid
in broadening his mind and his Shout
ders.
What if he does kick up little dirt
and what if he is noisy? He might
be in far worse places than the va
cant lot and engaged in far worse
pastimes than playing ball.

LEARN THE OTHER MANS JOB.

Employers sometimes find them
selves in quandary when they at
tempt to fill the post of some valuable
employee who has gone higher. 1t u.s.
ually happens that the man filling this
post outgrew it. He had become more
valuable in some other department,
where his services were worth more,
or had gone to some other firm who
were able to do more for him. The
employer looks about among the 9th
er workers and finds himself unable
to fill the vacant post from their num-
bers because none Of the others were
familiar with the work of the man
higher up.
They had not learned the other
mans job.
