A JOB FOR THE BOY.

What is a boy to do?
If he is to follow the advice Of
eight men from eight various walks
of life he will steer clear of thei'
respective followings.
An author of some fame recently
wrote eight prominent men and asked
them ii they would advise the younl
man to follow in their professions.
The physician declared the medica
profession was overcrowded. Thu
banker allowed that counting money
was no job for a young man. Ths
architect was of the opinion that too
many cranks existed to make drawing
plans good thing for the boy.
The head bookkeeper for one OF the
complained about monthly statements
The lawyer found the fees few and fan
between (this lawyer has been paid a.
high as 100000 for one case). The
merchant declared the tariff played
riot with his affairs, while the actoi
with a modest bow. was of the opin
ion that his talents were God given
The literateur (he said he was that
and ~e will put him in the class OF
newspaper mem swore by all the re
turned manuscripts that he was poor
ly paid-editors did not know good
things when they got them.
We read the opinions of the various
men. all signed statements, and We
wondered what the coming generation
was going to do.
True the politician and the burglar
were not interviewed but no doubt
they would have the same whine as
the other men.
Our advice TO the young man would
be to enter The newspaper business it
he likes it and has the proper spirit
There is plenty of room at the top
and We are not like the fox without
the tail either.
True, We have great troubles in add
ing column of figures. We don't
blame any one for not being book
keeper, but that's because we cant
add with any degree of accurateness
We know bookkeepers who can add
six figures at once and play tricks
with numbers that are marvellous. We
have often wondered with admiration
how man can strike trial balance
with beautiful red lines running across
his page.
We do not want TO be banker. be
cause money bothers us.
We could not be a merchant. for If
some one liked piece of goods and
wanted it badly the chances are we
would give it away.
We would not be a lawyer. because
from what We know of some corpora.
lions we have not much respect for
lawyers. and we could not ask a Jury
TO hang man.
And. as we have had hard work cut.

We would fail as physician.
There is no use telling us we are
not literateur, for We know that
but we modestly claim that we know
something about the newspaper bust. |

hope TO die in the harness.
