The trucking business is something

to rise through adverSities and rise

OF course we toss a few bouquets
sometimes to our friends and others
whom we want to help to higher
things; and we recognize the law of
reciprocity in business dealings on
the courtesy line, but we only in
dulge that way guardedly and upon
a plane of rectitude. There are fox
fire fellows everywhere who will
spend their money laYishly on the
newspaper that will play upon their
vanities. Many such are but shoot

the business horizon. soon to drop

watched too many Of this spurty
class, to bow the knee to their evan

the commercial heavens are only for

There is no earthly need of so
much poverty and grumbl;ng, as one
hears on all sides today. There is
plenty of food in this great and glor-
ious world for all its people. 1t is
the fault of the education of our
children; they are brought up wrong.
The children should be broken into
some useful labor and taught to
respect and honor the useful more
than the ornamental. Every boy and
girl should be made to work at some
thing that would be OF profit, till the
second nature forms with them. A
man or woman so educated becomes
actually fond of labor or at least
pleased with results, then 1t becomes
a pleasure to perform it, All chill
dren at an early age should have a
bank and be taught to save it's mon
ey, or at best the larger part of it.
They should not be allowed to waste
anything, food, clothing, or any
other article of value. 1t is the
early impressions formed on the mind
that are enduring. Very few chill
dren trained in the right direction
will become psupers, unless caused
by sickness or some unavoidable
accident.

What a different world this would
be if only all of lis would cultivate
the grace of good nature! 1t is the
best tonic for nervous disorders, the
surest preservative of home happi
ness, and the most effective remedy
for the divorce disease now unhap-
PLY prevalent. He who has learned
how to take even the most disagree
able things and grievious disappoint-
ments good naturally may never be
a millionaire, but he will be what is
much better, both happy and a
source of happiness, and the atmos
phere he carries with him will be
like a bit of sunshine in the mann
moth cave.

Time aud again have we been put
off by merchants and other prospec-
tive advertisers by the excuse That
would like to advertise, if I only
knew how to write the ads " AS we
believe it puts double responsible
tY upon the publisher for one price,
to both write and run the ads, we
have never taken much to that idea.
So to effect a method of banishing
the above impeachment, we have ar
ranged to run indefinitely in these
columns a course of advertising for
Home merchants prepared by the
best experts In the land. The course
will handle every phase of the bust
ness and will be so plain that anyone
but an ignoramus can be learnt by
it, if they will but take the short
time necessary eacn week to read
the series. This course will be put
on right soon. Keep that keen eye
peeled for it Mr. Merchant; it will
educate you on this necessary part
of your biz just as quotations etc did
into the mysteries of discounts.

Ninety-two in the shade is some

with the heat here as we read they
have in the north, where it is said
the hens lay hard boiled eggs. Here
if the suns heat becomes oppressive
we just step into the shade where
a gentle breeze fans the brow and
we forget the heat for the time. June
is said to be the warmest month in
the south, as they have less breeze

Murgatroyd flushed and answered
with a smile.
III such a thing were possibly, Shir-
ley, you're the one person to make me
do it,"
His compliment found her unrespon-
sive; she was too preoccupied with her
own thoughts.
You must do it," she persisted, and
looked at him appealingly. "Of course
the man could not have been himself"
Probably not" he said coldly. But
of one thing you may be sure, Chal-
Toner had a purpose In all this"
Shirley frowned; the man, changed
the tone of his voice with a versatility
that she declared to herself was little
short of s%candalous: he went on:
THAT purpose was to kill Hargraves.
Last night you heard his confession to
that effect; this morning he substan-
tiated 1t in detail"
Shirley wrapped one hand over the
other and sat looking at Murgatroyd
with white drawn face.
Il suppose you realize this thing Is
going to kill Miriam Challoner?'
The man shook his head vigorously.
"Boshi If grief could kill the wom-
an. living with Challoner would. have
accomplished that long ago"
How unfeelingl How like a man!
Yoli understand women so welll'' she
declared. looking up at him with a
hooking smile; and then went on to
plead: you must do something-you
must get him free! Surely 1t remains
for his friends to do this much for him.

Suspicion of moisture in the girls eyes.
Shaking his head, Murgatroyd rose

MAN who is fond of watching
"a birds told recently a pretty story
of some robins and catbirds.
The robins had built their nest
on a fence near his house, and
a pairsof catb.rds had built in a bush
close 10 the fence. The two pairs
Matched out their broods at about tho
same time, and everything went well
for a while. Then the catbirds were
seen no more; perhaps they had been
shot. Being thus deprived of food. the
young catbirds were starving, but they
soon noticed the old robins bringing
food to their little ones and they would
open their mouths, thrust up their
heads n make a great cutlery. Pres
entity 1t was seen that the robins were
feeding the hungry orphans. Every
night, too. while one of the robins COW
cred their own brood the other covered
the little catbirds. In this way both
broods were reared, the catbirds grow

had been cared for by their own par

QUEER POLICEMEN.

In Londo the policemen carry no
clubs and attached to the middle of
their belt, behind, is a dark lantern.
The cuffs of their coats have vertical
stripes, white and blue, signifying their
rank and the number Of years they
have been in the service. In Paris the
police wear blu caps and coats, and
in the summer white trousers. They
carry short swords, more. as a matter
of authority, but when in danger use
the flat side as a club. In the rain the
Paris policeman takes off his cap,
hangs 1t on the back of his belt, then
pulls the hood of his o over his head.
German policemen wear helmets and
nave a distinctly martial air.
