THE MAN AND HIS JOB.

The tendency to make frequent
changes Is the bane of many tech
nical men. Not only does 1t detract
seriously from their value to employ
ers, but it Injuries the men them
selves by scattering their energies
without making them masters Of any
one thing. OF course, no technical
man should hesitate to make a
change if he finds himself in the
wrong niche, but he should try to
make as few changes as possible.
The high-salaried specialist of tech
nical executive reached his present
place, not by continually changing
but by sticking to one line until he
had mastered it and knew more
about 1t than anyone else.
Having considered carefully the
advisability OF a change, every eff
fort should be made to find a new
position before resigning your pres
ent one. In the eyes Of almost every
employer the man at work has val
ue at least 25 per cent higher than
the one out OF job. To be able to
say II am employed and am giving
satisfaction" supplementing this
with good reasons for desiring a
change, has proved the open sesame
to many first-class opportunity.
The best method of finding the de-
sired opportunity is by a personal
canvass Of employers. If you are a
competent man and can submit blue
prints with one of your testimonials
from your former employers, you will
have little difficulty. In Pittsburg
and one or two other cities the de-
mand is so great that man of the
right experience can secure a place
on trial with many firms on the
strength of his own statements alone

are several, making speciality OF the

and there Is no danger to your pres

PANHANDLE REpO RI
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

General superintendent d. b.
Keller, OF the Denver, took time out
in Amarillo long enough yesterday
on his way up to Denver, to ask ex-
tensive questions concerning crop and
business conditions in the Panhan-
die and around Amarillo.
AS usual the Amarillo office is
making an eminently satisfactory
showing and Agent T. w. White was
able to report that the regular in
crease which every months business
shows over the same month the year
before, reached a total of over $12,-
900 last month. Mr.. White further
reported from what he had been able
10 learn of crop conditions that Dem
yer territory through here would
show three-fourths OF big crop OF
oats and half crop of wheat. These
figures are very conservative and the
late rains may make the estimate
much lower than the crops, but it is
certain that there will be a goodly
quantity OF grain in the country to
he moved, and of course the Denver
will get its share. Mr.. Keller ex-
pressed himself as being highly
pleased with the showing and pros
poets here.

Importance of Insurance.

Insurance against losses by fire,
tornadoes and cyclones is necessity.
How many farmers estimate the vest
amounts that are paid yearly to for
eign insurance companies for which
comparatively small returns are re-
ceived? How few realize that farm in
surance is the less hazardous of anv,
and that it is too often the case that
the farmers are compelled to pay
losses incurred on hazardous risks.
such as factories of various kinds, and
crowded city buildings? 1t is best to
patronize some home insurance COM
pany which you know to be sound.
and every state has a number of such
ones. For the farmer good mutual in
surance is always the best. It costs
less, because the risks are select ones.
and the insured is not compelled to
make up losses on the more hazardous
kind

Cash vs.. Credit.

A cash transaction is more desirable
than credit one. If customers would
only pay the small town merchant
cash for all things purchased, the
same as the department stores and
mail order houses in the large cities
require, there would be no reason why
goods could not be sold at lower
prices. 1t is the constantly turning
over of the money invested in bust
ness that makes the profit for the
merchant. This is one of the reasons
of the success of the bly, city concerns.
Few farmers when they sell their
crops are willing to wait six months
for their pay. Why then should the
small merchant in the town be asked
to do so. If he has the ready cash to
discount his bills, he will be enabled
to sell his goods at a lower margin of
profit. He cannot have the ready
money to do so if he does a credit
business.

THE STORY.

TOAB, the captain of the armies of
~ Israel, had openly espoused the
cause of Adonijah, and daily now the
heir-apparent to the throne was to be
seen riding through the streets of
Jerusalem in regal style, and many
were the admiring and approving
glances which followed the gorgeous
procession of chariots and horses and
out-runners. 1t had been a long time
since King David had been seen in
public, and when it had become known
that all efforts had failed on the part
Of the court physicians to rouse him
out of the semi-stupor into which he
had fallen, the people realized that
the days of their beloved king were
numbered. But sorrowful though their
hearts were and reluctant to part with
the great King David, they knew that
soon a new ruler would take his place
on the throne. No one seemed to know
whether the king had chosen the. one
who should rule in his place, or not,
and so when Adonijah, the Oldest living
son of David, had prepared him chart
OTIS and horses and runners to go be-
fore him, 1t was generally accepted
that he was to succeed to the throne
And this feeling was strengthened by
the action of Joab, and frequently the
grizzled old warrior was to be seen
riding with Adonijah in the latters
chariot
But one thing troubled Adonijah. Up
TO the present time he had not won
the help and Endorsement of Abiathar,
the high priest, most important con-
dition of success. He knew he could
not hope to win over zadok, who was
associated with Abiathar in the high
priestly office, but he had found Abb
affair more friendly to his cause, and
felt that if he could get him to take a
stand in his favor, the Endorsement of
Zadok would not be needed.
However, in consultation with Joab,
he had gone ahead with his plans,
and had arranged for great gath
ering of his followers, at which it
was expected that formal recognition
of his claims to the throne would be
made, but as the time approached for
the banquet he grew more and more
anxious about Abiathar. He felt he
must have him present.
Has any word come from Abiathar,
the high priest?' he demanded from
his servant one day Immediately after
his return from the daily ride through
the pify'S streets
None my lord" the servant replied.
A dark frown overspread the hand
some face and he started to enter the
open door, when sudden resolve
seized him.
Recall the chariot" he said sharply
to the servant standing near, and in
trice he was whfrling off in the
direction of the high priests house.
"Abiathar shall give me an answer
this day." lns muttered savagely.
A loud shout from the driver and
the sudden stoppage of the chariot
aroused him from his reverie In turn
ing sharp corner, the horses had al
most run down two pedestrians. who
