FORREST CLUB.

The Forrest Club was born again
last night Its second birth insures
its long life. Temporary quarters
will be engaged at the Hotel Hatties-
burg, until the Club can make def
mite arrangements for a permanent
home.
There is no doubt about Hatties-
burg needing a Business Mems Social
Club There is no doubt about Hat
tiesburg being abundantly able to
furnish the men and means to make
it a financial and social success
Heretofore there seems to have been
superfluity of talk; now that the
moving spirits have taken the bit in
their mouth and determined to go
ahead, the club movement is given
new birth, and only a little time is
needed for a few minor details be-
fore it will throw its doors open to
the public.
In the beginning of a Clubs life,
location is the all important thing.
1t should be a sort Of adjunct to
every mans business house. 1t
should be a place so conveniently
located that if one business man
wants to see another, he will tele-
phone meet me at the Club" The
| Club must essentially be drop in
place of convenience. Where a man
when his work is over, will just drop
in for a minute and stay an hour
| Where when business calls him down
town at night, he will drop in for a
short chat with others who may have
dropped in. Where, when he has
time and wants to read a magazine
! or newspaper he does not take at his
own home, he finds it convenient to
do so.
For a residence one wants large
grounds, SHADE aud quiet For a
Club one cares nothing for yard or
grounds, or quiet. but wants large
verandas, spacious roc. ms anu ha'''
luxurious furnishings and the 'u'i CIV
literature of the day. All the inen'
young and old, eligible to Club iheih,
bership, come to the business cent?
of the town when they come down
town at ALL Put the Club as nearly
in their way as possible, for the
success of the Club depends upon It's
members availing themselves of its
privileges, and visiting it often
enough to make it's social feature at
, tractive and enjoyable. If it is well
located it will grow. Just as bus
mess institutions depend largely upon
location, so does a Club, It's use is
its life; and that it may be used, uii
til its use becomes second habit to its
members, it must be so centrally anC
conveniently located that members
Gust drop in" for drink of water
for a shoe shine, to use the telephone
then they will soon become to re
gard the Club as general CONVEX
fence, and then the Club will groN
and prosper, and be pleasure to it
members and a credit to the town.
We hope the question of iocatio
for the Forrest Club, therefore, wi
be thoroughly considered from ever
d standpoint, before permanent qua
tiers are decided upon. The questic

NOT A VERY WISE MOVE.

We very much doubt if the head
quarters of the Union Pacific for the
mountain division viii be removed
from ogden, as has been suggested.
True. there may be a possibility of it,
and the Ogden people are right to make
inquiry. The removal to Green River
would be to the detriment of Ogden;
and all Utah will indorse the Junction
City in its request to be heard in ar
gument before the movement is de-
cided on.
The removal of these Offices to Green
River surely could give small benefit
to the company over what is now en-
joyed. And many advantages insured
by the presence of the work in Ogden
would certainly be lost in Wyoming.
The railroad interest of this state is
getting more and more important every
year. 1t would seem that concentra-
ton, rather than dispersal, would be
the part of wisdom.
Let it be clearly understood that all
Utah is with Ogden in the desire to
keep the offices there.

JUST LIKE A WOMAN.

Down at Atlanta, Georgia, woman
cut up an old feather bed that her di-
vorced husband had bought at a sale
many years ago, and there. reposing in
well-worn feathers, she found bag
containing fifteen hundred dollars in
greenbacks and other bills. And she
struck right straight off up town and
bought a thirty-five dollar hat for her
self. Which is nightly like woman.
She then hurried to a newspaper Of
fiee and told all about the story, after
which she declared she was going out
to buy a tailor-made suit, if it cost
hundred dollars. The boarding house
might go without keeper for the day.
When asked if she wasn't going to
keep at least a half of the money for
the husband who used to belong to her,
and to whom the feather bed itself once
belonged, she snorted her negatives.
That was why she was investing in
vestments She proposed to put all that
fortune away where he never could find
it. even if he did come back for the
money She knew he would never
come back for her.
The incident has a very serious and
valuable moral. All people who have
a feather bed bought at auction long
time ago, should cut into it, and ex-
plore for the money that the former
owner may have left.
If found, the money should be so
spent as to secure the greatest amount
of happiness.
Also, the bed being destroyed. it
might be a good thing to get a new
mattress.
And that brings up another matter.
Lying on that new bed. the favored of
fortune may have time to reflect that
maybe the people of whom the feather
bed was bought in the first place have
some right to the money found in it,
even if they didn't know it was there.
Atlanta is a long way off; but If it
can point a moral and adorn tale, it
/ is none too far.

WHAT THE BOSS WANTS.

First of all, the foreman wants to
promote every man under him. He
wants them to have more wages. He
wants them to be worth more to the
employers. He is looking for the man
who is good, and don't you believe that
the foreman is opposed to that employee.
And the bosses themselves, the en-
ployers. the people who have their
money invested-they are hunting for
the better man all the time. They have
their plant running now. Every day
they run with less than the best men is
a day of disadvantage in their fight for
profits. Every day when they are
served by the best men to be found.
they have an increased chance for win
ming. The owners like dollars. Do you
think they are not awake to the neces-
sity of encouraging the best man?
You do your work better than any
one else, and you viii rank better than
any one else. You make yourself so
to lose you, and you will see that he
doesn't lose you. Make your work
faster and more finished than the rest
and you are going to have preference
above the rest.
Now and again he is ugly in his talk.
! He has nerves, just like human beings
and ON occasion he raises the roof
when things go wrong, or when he
thinks they go wrong. You may be al
the receiving end of his comments
Never mind that. Put it down to the
state of the weather, and the condition
of. the foreman's mind. Put it down tc
accident--for the chances are that is
what it is. Put it down to accident, be-
cause if he had another minute to think
before he said his say, he would never
say it.
Try and remember that is one of the
perquisites of the foreman, of the boss
Get there yourself Get to the plac,
where you can say what you think
and not be beRPlden to anybody for the
saying it.
And there is only one way in the
world to get there. You work. Yol
work better than any one else. Yol
work with your brain as well as witt
your hands. You make yourself 81
valuable that the boss would rather
drop any other man in the shop thai
you.
You don't need toady to him. HI
don't care for the palaver of the bat
workman. He cares a whole lot foi
the upright bearing of the man wht
does the best work in the shop.
That's what the boss wants.

city a mob of thousands might be con-
gregated and occupy the streets for
hours without any one man being GER
tain of the act of any one of his neigh
bors. But in town Of twelve thou
sand people. the hanging of men to
bodies could not have occurred without
there being hundreds of witnesses per-
fectly able to give convieting evidence
against the breakers of the law.
And they are breakers of the law
those people who lyncfed and burned
the men accused. True. if the fellows
were guilty, they didn't get whit more
than they deserved. But it is not. proved
that they We're guilty; and that isn't
the way to prove II, any way.
Wherein lies the solution of the whole
matter. These people who are so bad
citizens that they will not give testi-
mony against their law-breaking neigh
bors are responsible for the condition
of the community. They ignore the
duty Of the citizen now because that has
become their habit. They don't respect
the law. Therefore. they refuse to as
sist the officers of the law in prosecut-
ing breakers of the law. And the Of
ficers are themselves quite as supine
as are the rest of the people Of Cairo.
Citizens who get the protection of
government should do their honest
share in the preservation Of govern
ment People who know of the COM
mission of crime and refuse 80 help
punish by giving the testimony they
possess. are themselves the cause and
the reason for lawlessness in others
which finally leads up to lynching.
