FOR You, Rot for the
Other Fellow.

- ECENTLY the superintend-
emit of large manufacturing
concern had occasion to call
two of his most promising
young men into the Office, separ.
ately, and gave to each of them q
good calling down.
His interest in the young mon
and his interest in the output OF
his factory were of such nature
that it was his duty to talk to each
of them.
Each of the young men was
greatly surprised at what the super
intendent told him. They were
not conscious of the fact that they
had been guilty of any of the
things for which they were rebuked.
Both of them said to the super
intendent: "Why, l have not
done anything like that; the other
fellows have, but [ have moi"
And doubtless the young men were
honest, for men rarely see their
actions as others see them.
| Then the superintendent said to
them: "What I am saying I mean
for you, not the other fellow"
Don't think that you can be five
minutes behind time every morn
ing when the whistle blows and
not have the fact mentally recorded
against you by those in authority
over you. That means you, young
man, not the other fellow.
Don't think that you can con-
tinuously slight any part of your
work without that slightest part,
no matter how hidden it may be,
being discovered and traced d.
rectly to you. Longfellow said in
one of his poems that "the gods
see everywhere To-day we para
phrase the line and say the in
spector sees everything. You can
not do botch work and retain your
job, much less your self.respect.
That means you, young man, not
the other fellow.
Don't think that you can work
with your eye on the clock all the
time and turn out as perfect work
as the man who Clues his eyes to
his task and does his work in the
spirit of faithfulness, integrity and
truth. This means you, young
man, not the other fellow.
Don't think that you can carouse
around all night, overload your
stomach with intoxicants, chase
the flying hours on nimble feet
until 3 O'Clock in the morning and
then show up for an honest days
work at the appointed time, be it
7, 8 or 9 O'Clock, as the case may
be. This means you, young man,
not the other fellow.
Don't think that you can take
the money that comes to you in
your pay envelope and play the
ponies, shuttle the cards or bet on
the ball game and pay your legiti-
mate bills with the increase that
comes thru your skill, or 6nancier
your future successfully in that
way. Gamblers luck never paid
grocery bills promptly. put money
away for rainy day or establish
an honest and successful business.
This means you, young man, not
the other fellow.

Value Of an Honest Eye.

A business man once said that
he once devoted half a day to hiring
a man whom he needed in his OF
fee. In answer to his advertise
ment a great many applicants
called. He rejected the first be-
cause he could not look him in the
eye. "The second man" said the
merchant, twas armed with a
double. barreled recommendation
from his pastor, with testimonials
as to his business ability and good
character; but, tho he looked me
in the eye, I saw that we could
never hope to get along we'll to-
gether, and 80 I dismissed him.
The third interested me the mo-
ment he stepped inside the door.
He was poorly dressed, and, tho
his clothes we've whole, they were
at least two sizes too small. 1t was
evident that his attire troubled him
not the least, for he held his head
high and as he approached my
desk looked me squarely in the eye.
He said that he had no recommend
atoms, that he had no business
experience, but that he was willing
to do his best to please me. In an
instant it dawned upon me that
before me was the man [ was look
ing for. He had nothing to recon-
mend him save. an honest, bright
eye and a pleasant face, but that
was sufficient. I engaged him on
the spot.
"Since then I have seen tit to
advance him over a man who has
been with me three years. The
latter grumbled, but there was
reason for my move-the new man
had proved himself worthy of pro-
notion"
Instances might be definitely
multiplied of theyalue of an honest
eye. That wonderful window of
the soul, the eye, is a sure index
to character. Ifyou have it not,
cultivate a bright, honest, straight
forward look. It will more than
repay your effort. Lock up and
fearlessly meet the eyes OF those
with whom you converse. Many
choice position has been lost
thru an Indifferent, hinching eye.
and many coveted position has
been won thru fearless, honest
eye. That kind of eye is better
than hundred recommendations.

sensible women, the daughters VIII
he the same. If not, don't take
chances on them, my boy. If the
father is a gentleman, the son will
be very apt to be much the same
sort of person, and take pride in
honoring the author of his being.
There are thousand little things,
my boy, which will help to change
the boy into a loafer or man.
There are a thousand little acts at
home the influence of which will
never die. As the shadow reflects
the image of the subject, either
lesser or greater, SO will children
reflect the education Of home; and
the lessons taught by the Preside,
or while kneeling by the side of
a loved mother, last till we are no
more. If child is governed by
kind words, so will it's life give evil
dence. If home is made pleasant,
the boy will have it's sacred pro-
lection. If everything around the
family circle is built loose and
cross-grained, nothing but the
power of God, or great ambition,
will spring the boy back into the
upright man. No one is fit to
govern others till he can govern
himself. And, my boy, it is the
short lessons which we remember
the longest. The home influences
are seldom forgotten, and the les
sons for good or evil which you and
US received in years agone, when
our minds were more susceptible
than now, will make or damn us,
my boy. Parents cannot be too
careful of the little ones given
them. Their home lessons cannot
be too good.
If the parent thinks it's own
child perfect, how much more must
the child think of it's parent, and
how perfect in it's eyes must be all
that parent does-how cherished
the teachings, how indelible the
picture the eyes of youth looked
upon as correct! Yes, Walter, my
boy, the twig is easily ent-but
to straighten it is quite another
and more difficult matter; and as
some of our readers are so easy to
take hints, we will leave the SUBJ
ject with them.
Now, Walter, my boy, you and us
are both friends of the boys. They
are to make our future men. Those
boys we see in the streets late
nights, running wild like pigs, will
in time be a part of society. If
they have early taught them habits
of sobriety, of care, of self denial,
of respect to others, they will make
good men, and honor the names
of their parents. If they are
allowed 10 run loose until their
habits are set, no power except
pride can save them. And by-and-
by the fathers Of these boys will
see them either men taking an
active, honorable. and influential
part in life, or they will see them
loafers, fit for nothing but to hold
chair down in some saloon. And,
Walter, my boy, when death comes
for his own, and the gray. haired
man is laid down with his fathers,
if his son who is to bear his name
henceforth comes to his bedside,
erect in the vigor of manhood, up
right in character as in form,
honest in heart, how easy will be
the dying hours of that father, for
he will know that the helpless ones
left behind will not suffer. But if
the son is called from some saloon,
and comes in with unsteady gait,
red, watery eyes, thick tongue, and

ABOUT TWIGS AND THEIR
EARLY BENDINGS.

II don't twig it!'
Well, my boy-it is this: "Just
as the twig is bent, the tree is IN
clined." No matter whether it be
a wooden twig, or a meat one; a
sprig of shillalah Or sprig OF hu.
mainly. As you plant the corn.
so will it grow, and it behooves
people to plant straight. Now can
you tell us, Walter, my boy, how a
father-a fond and dear father,
can expect his children to be ami
able in their dispositions, when he
is as cross as the gable end OF a
saw-horse whenever the house is
graced with his presence? Ii the
father swears, can he expect his
son to refrain from the use of pro-
family? If he is cross and peevish,
finding fault with everything and
everybody, how can be reasonably
expect the twiglets of his family
to do differently? Leaning against
the shrub will warp the tree, my
boy. If the father keeps late
hours, and frequents places like
Caesars wife-beyond suspicion
how can he blame the son for fol-
lowing in the footsteps of his illus
trious predecessor? Ii the father
cannot control his temper, is it
right, my boy, to whip the child
for learning his daily lesson but
too we'll? Little twigs see things
very close. While the large tree
islooking ahead over it's neighbors;
over stumps, rocks, creeks, valleys.
and houses, the twig is looking
close along the ground, twisting
and bending about by every breeze.
and prying into the little crooks,
angles, and crevices, and under the
leaves, stones, and punches of
flowers observing thousand
things it's loftier parent never
thinks of observing. If the father
is a sloven, how can the child be
anything else, until new ideas are
born within him? If the father,
on entering the house, throws his
hat, coat, muff1er, boots, and a
bundle in different directions, care
less of the labor he makes for
others, how can the child be chided
for doing the same?
IF the father is church member,
and, as is often the case, succeeds
in overreaching his nelghbor, and
boasts of it at the table-and the
tea-table is a funny place, my boy
how can he expect his child to
learn honesty, or to respect pro-
fessors of religion? Whatever the
parent does is right in the eyes of
the child-yet folks wonder why
their children show certain traits
of character, as years rapidly settle
upon them. The mother expects
her daughter to be lady some
day, but forgets to set an example.
At the table, or by the Preside, she
INDUCES in uncalled for remarks
about her neighbors, or throws out
inslnuations against the character
of those as good as herself, ana
then expects her child to be a lady!
IF the mother be untidy in her
dress allows dust and dirt to &C.
cumulate on stands and behind
doors, how can she blame the
daughter for falling into the same
habit? If she washes the dishes
in cold or lukewarm water, with
out soap, wipes them with slowsy
rag, and sets them away SO greasy
that you can draw Solomon's tenn
pie or write the epitaph of baby
in the grease on them with a fork
tine. how in the name Of faith can

CONRAD
 MINING DEAL

The main object Of the visit of Colonel John Howard Conrad to WhitehOrse from Saturday until Monday was that be might confer with George N, Stew eus regarding the purchase of the Sun rise" group, comprising four quartz claims, located in the Wheaton district and which Mir. Stevens located some years ago and has since owned.
 Before Colonel Conrad had been in town two hour, Saturday evening a bargain had been struck, deeds had passed and Prospector George Stevens "sbip had come in." The price paid by the colonel to George was s5O,OOO and of that amount a large payment was in spot cash. The deferred payments run but a short time and one deserving pros. pector who knows what it means to work hard on bum grub has been re- wardsd.
 Immediately after making a deal for the Stevens property, Colonel Conrad entered into a contract with Adam Brney, representing the TalIy-HO Mining company Of which there are four prrtnsrs, all experienced quartz miners, for several hundred feet of shafting and tunneling work to be done on his recently acquired purchase and on which contract worG was begun Tuesday morning of this week, large force of m n being employed.-White- horse Star.

GOVERNOR HARPER
HAS HELPED HIM OUT
Especial to The sentinei.)

Denver, Jan. 9.-Persons in high
manner of requests, but Governor
Harper has received one that for all
round "beat-them-all" took the cake.
A chap pretty well known through
out the state has a sweetheart In the
east. Some one wrote to the sweet
hearts people that the chap was no
good; that he had q fashion of div
ing In with his conversation when
he hadn't been asked to join; that
they felt that the sweetheart might
pick n better running mate.
The girl informed the chap of
these letters and that her people OBJ
jected to the marriage. In order to
convince her relatives that the charg-
es were not correct, the chap went to
Governor Harper for letter of rec
ommendation to send back to her
people to Offset the impression caused
by the other letters.
The governor gave him a letter
and the man went away apparently
happy. II was the first time Cover
nor Harper had ever been called up
on for letter of recommendation to
guarantee marriage. The fellow
was more than persistent in getting
the letter. The governors secretar-
les and stenographers tried to shoo
him OF, In dozen ways, by not let
ting him In to see the governor. but
he hung ON oven to the extent of
telling other visitors that he had got
ten there first and would precede
them Into the governors private Of
flee. He displayed the characteristic
indicated in the letter criticising him
to the sweetheart's people so persist
entity that he was finally admitted In
order to stop the display.

INCREASING LENGTH OF LIFE.
What Medical Science Has Done for
the Human Race.

Reviewing the progress of medi-
cine during the nineteenth century,
DR.. John s. Billings, United States
army. has shown that deaths of wom-
en- from childbirth decreased during
that period from 10 to 20 In 1000 to
in 1000, and that from all causes
the deaths In New York city fell from
between IS and 40 In 1000 to less
than 20 in 900. He recalls the fact
that 100 years ago yellow fever was
epidemic in New York and Philadel-
phia for two years. For 80 years the
disease has been almost unknown
throughout the whole country; also
that in 1900 the majority of persons
one met were pitted with smallpox
the survivors of a much greater num-
ber-while now there are physicians
who have never seen case OF small
pox: and that in the Napoleonic and
revolutionary wars more died from
disease than from wounds, while now
hospital gangrene is unknown. Sta
tistics show that in Chicago during
the last 80 years the average age at
death has increased from IL to 80
years.
No one disputes these facts or at
tributes them to any cause other than
medical science-the measures en-
more especially in preventing Its in

CITIZEN AND PIONEER CLOTH
ER, DIED THIS MORNING AT THE
FAMILY RESIDENCE ON GRAND
AVENUE, NEAR FIFTH.
The death of Mrs. Strouse will be
read with the greatest regret through
out the city, where she has lived SO
long and been held in the highest
esteem. The deceased, with her hus-
band, came to this city in the early
sos and made their home in this then
pioneer settlement, and she has re-
sided here ever since. enjoying the
respect and love of host of friends
and acquaintances.
Theresa E. Holman Strouse was
born in Bavaria, April, 1S47. She
came to this country in 1861. arriv-
ing in New York, and was met by her
present husband then young man.
and was married at once. She was
Just 81 years old when she landed
on these shores and has resided in
this country ever since.
Shortly after her marriage she re-
moved with her husband to Chica-
go and was resident there during
the big fire of 1871.
A few years later they moved to
a
Leadville for a short time. and also
in Canon City. finally removing to
Grand Junction in the early SOS and
