A BUSINESS EXTENDER.
The Kind of Man For Whom There Is ... Big Demand.

''I am looking for a clerk, a man with a personality. man who can do things and increase my business. Mon ey is no item. will not take salary into consideration. will pay $1CO. $125 or whatever he is worth I want the man." That is what a successful merchant said some days ago.
 Let us pay our respects to the mer chant who is looking for clerk of this kind. A good clerk deserves 8 good salary and usually gets it. This matter of good pay for good services is the basic principle of the rela- tions between employer and employee. While all merchants are not willing to pay enough salary to their clerks, there are more merchants who are glad to pay all a clerk is worth than there are clerks who are glad to be worth all they are paid.
 Every village, town and city is look ing for the man who can increase business" The man who will work for the interests of his employer Is wanted the world over. The world of business is crying out for such men. for men whom 1t can trust and in whom 1t can place confidence that a thing will be done when the "boss'" back is turned. This man is wanted in every store. factory. at every post and in every great business in the land.
 If you are attempting to avoid re- sponsibility and as much work as pos sible you will, unless by great mistake. escape promotion or increase in salary. There are two kinds of clerks. and only two kinds. One the entire busi- ness world is anxiously searching for, and the other the entire business world is anxiously waiting to get rid of.-Twin City Commercial Bulletin.

Every Price Should Have a Reason.
 It must be remembered always that 1t is not the price of an article which is important, but the reason for the price.
 The bankrupt stock, the fire sale, the manufacturers remnants, the annual clearance, the removal sale, the dlsso- lutiOn of partnership sale-what are these and many more but arguments for the price? And note this one point that without the argument the price is pOwerless. Reduce fur lined over coats from $1O0 to $60 and your liberal discount attracts little attention. Why? Because there is no reasonable expla- nation for the reduction. Why should you present overcoatS to the public But announce that owing to an eX- piration of your lease and the impera- tive command that you vacate your present store within two weeks you will reduce the price of your fur lined overcoats from $1O0 to $60 and you may sell easily all you have to offer. Instinctively the public sees the whole picture-the proprietor's anxiety, the inevitable removal, the lessening days, the final sacrifice and the store full of eager buyers, quick to seize such an opportunity. This is only half the reduction previously considered. But one is business without imagination, and the other is business with it, Lorin F. Deland in Atlantic.

A Memorable Wreck.

The most memorable wreck in the history of the American surf was that of the bark Mexico, stranded on Hemp stead beach, Long Island, early in the morning of Jan. 8, 1887. She carried 1O4 passengers and a crew of twelve men. Four passengers and four of the crew were saved by a surfboat from the beach under the command of Ray nor Rock Smith. All others were frozen to death, though the wreck was so close to the shore that their cries and even some of their words were plainly heard on the beach. It was the story of this wreck, as published throughout the nation, that led to the establishment of the United States life saving Service.-Scrap Book.

The Characteristic National Meal

The Characteristic National Meal.
 It is not only i'll Scotland that break fast is the characteristic national meal. Travel where you may, the first meal of the day is the one that strikes the foreign note, luncheon and dinner hay ing gradually absorbed cosmopolitan qualities that are not even confined to hotels. But you never feel so much of an Englishman as when Switzerland gives you rolls and butter and honey and nothing more with your coffee or when France makes this into one ex- quisite crumbling "croissant," with an inch or two from yard long loaf, or when Denmark adds cream instead of milk to the coffee and dangerous piece of pastry to the black bread and round white roll. Yet our English breakfast became an institution only in the eighteenth century. Before that only royalty breakfasted off meat, bread and cheese and ale. The com moner such as Pepys, took merely morning draft of buttered ale.-Lon- don Chronicle.

A Wise Old Mule.

Our old mule would not work after F o'clock. We would be compelled to unhitch, go to the barn and let tho mule eat as long as he was able to swallow; that would be about two hours. Then the mule would be ready for work. It mattered not how late in the day when the mule was taken out in the field, or how cloudy 1t might be. The wind might blow so strong that the sounds of the bells and the whistles could not be heard, or the work would be in some out of the way place where no one could be seen going to dinner. Yet when 12 o'clock came, to the minute, he would refuse to work any longer. We have taken feed and let him eat before noon, but this did not satisfy him; he must go to the barn st noon or kick everything to pieces. We tried the mule in coal mine, but with the same result. He seemed to tell the time in the mine equally as we'll as out of it.-Chicago Tribune.

To Live Lonu.

Virchow, the German scientist, said the way to live long is to "be born with a good constitution, take care of it when you are young, always have something to do and be resigned if you find you cannot accomplish all you wish.' It is easier to live long with a poor constitution than to violate the other conditions and reach old age.

 Sherman Stebbins makes a personal matter of the playful allusion in the last issue to the Stafford road. He is going to cuff ears and sue for libel if there is anything more said about this highway. In the matter of sueing for libel-he won't do 1t. There will be no cuffing either. be- cause there is going to be an apology. he item last week to which he takes exception, insinuated that the Stafford road is the worst in North America. That item is hereby declared null and void and is retracted. The Stafford road is not the worst road in North America. As for Steb, he is all right-a little peevish and thick at times-but always ready to do good turn for a friend. Elected 8 town father, he will do we'll to cultivate the judicial boise and philosophical temperament of the late Benjamin Franklin, rather than the Colton Hol- low methods in vogue when he was a boy at school.

If he makes a good road out of it there will be universal rejoicing. It is hoped there will be no objection to the suggestion that there are few minor matters that still need attention on this highway.

MiNSTRE,LS AGAIN

The opera House held almost as
big an audience last night as that OF
the first night of the Eagle minstrels
1t was impossible to see any diff
ference in the excellence Of the Snow

big audience hOwled loud and long
at the local hits, the jokes and the
make up of the amateur Octors.
Too much praise cannot be given
to Professor Smiths most grOtesque
and clever transpOsitiOns of the Pima
fore music. The orchestra worked
out his idea in fine manner and al
most the funniest thing about the
whole show were the resolutions that
Smith has attained in his arrange
ment. Smith violates almost as many
laws of harmony and thorough bass
as does Wagner and he produced
just about as few discords. Some ot
them might not resolve in the strict
sense of the word but they sounded
all right and produced the desired
effect

Band will have gOOdly sum from

OF land in Douglass county at once

company will drive a series of wells
with two castings, one for the deep or
artesian flow and one for the sun
surface flow. Electric motor pumps
will be installed on every sub-divis-
ion of the land and irrigating water
will thus be ample tor all purposes.
