done by every man, woman and
child, in order TO enable every
body else to have assurance that
his or her work will amount to
something. This is an age of
trust. The business of the world
is done on trust, There isn't
enough money to do it on cash
basis. You phone 10 your mer
chant and order for groceries
You trust he will give you full
weight and good goods. He trusts
you to pay for them when conve
nient. You send a draft off to an
advertiser for machinery You
trust that piece of paper will
bring the. goods, Aud just SO
with every day duties. We must
trust one another You tell
Johnnie TO gather the eggs and
Mary to feed the chickens and
Joe to water the horses and Will
to feed the hogs If they are
obedient children you trust they
will do as asked and think no
more about it. If they are care.
less or disobedient you've got to
see to it that these things are
done.
No schooling or training is
worth the name that does not
teach the doing Of duty's drudg-
cry. The shirker becomes a
tramp, loafer, good for moth
ing. While child's will should
never be broken, it should be
made obedient to reason and
there should be reason back of
every request TO perform disa
greeable task. The children rails
ed on the farms where chores are
given each one to do from early
childhood become better fitted TO
forge to the front ia the battle Of
life than an idle boy Of the city
streets. The postponer never
conquors. The power to tackle
daily drudge and do it when it
should be done, is the power Of
will that overcomes great costa
cles in the great business activi-
ties Of this strenuous age, That S
why so many great men Of com
mercial life can say they are rails
ed on farm.
Let no boy say he hates chores
Though often very inconvenient
chores are the making of his
character if he never shirks. Let
him find way to make them
more agreeable. Whistle and the
time flies fast while choring
Fathers and mothers should all
see to it that their children have
some daily duty to perform which
is we'll within their strength.
But begin with pleasant duty
rather than disagreeable one
or the child may be made to hate
work. A liking for work is &C
quired if wisely given, just as a
liking for some fruit or vegetable
the child may have an aversion
for,

The report of the Chicago Milwaukee st. Paul
Railway Company for the year ended on June 50
says regarding the work of carrying the road 10

the last year and since the close Of the year
track laying has been completed from the Missouri
River 10 Butte. Mont.
The work of putting this portion Of the line in

pany and the lines of Western companies in the
future. or the remaining six hundred and
Fifty miles, track laying has been completed on
about hundred and fifty miles in the states of
Montana, Idaho and Washington.
The report states that under the new system OF
accounts opened on July l. 1907, certain revenues
and expenditures which formerly would have en-
tered into the earnings and expense accounts have
been charged credited to income account since
that date. and an accurate comparison therefore
cannot be made. The total operating revenues for
