UNCLE HIRAM TO HIS NEPHEW.
On the Inadvisabiity Of Nursing a

On the Inadvisability Of Nursing a
j.. Grouch-The eoss's Troubles.
Don't Henry" said Uncle Hiram
to his hopeful young nephew, don't
nurse a crouch. Nobody has any use
for man or a boy with crouch.
Suppose you were the boss and you
had in your employ boy who thought
he wasn't getting pay enough, and sup
pose this boy should get SO dissatisfied
over this that 1t made him grouchy.
Then you'd see him going around at
tending to his work all right, maybe,
but all the time half sullen over it;
sour faced, glum, dissatisfied in every
thing he did; grouchy and nursing his
crouch all the time and making 1t
plain to everybody and making every.
body in the place uncomfortable.
ITO be sure he'd be only a boy and
you'd be the boss and you could fire
him if you wanted to, but you wouldn't
want to do that so you'd help him
along, but 1t wouldn't be pleasant TO
have him around; and If he didn't get
over his crouch, why, sooner or later
sod ~ OC plClty VIZ " itl min 81 A.'AA
that SO? You wouldn't want around
you anybody that was nursing a
crouch.
Now take your own case, Henry
You are young fellow just starting in
and you haven't had much experience,
but you are learning fast and you are
working faithfully and working hard,
p1,, vi no know
how, and you're learned enough about
the business now 50 that you think
your work is really of service to the
concern, and maybe it is, and you
think you don't get enough pay.
That's all right, Henry. You can
ask for more pay If you want to, but
I'd advise you to 60 slow about that.
Better to keep plugging while longer
as You are and pile up a bigger credit
for yourself in your employers es-
teem
But whatever happens don't get
grouchy. That would queer the whole
business and upset all you've done.
you see, Henry, the boss has his
troubles that maybe you don't know
anything about, and they may be great
er than yours; but he has to put up a
good front and look cheerful and he
thinks you ought to. AS matter of
fact we all have our troubles, and no
body has any use for the man with
crouch, who thinks his petty troubles
are more important than anybody
else's.
In fact you will discover as you
grow older, Henry, that let alone the
grouchy men, nobody cares much for
a man with a grievance Of any sort,
not even if it has good ground; the
man that comes to US complaining 10
apt to tire us.
80, Henry, remember, If you think
you are not getting all that's coming
to you or that you are not appreciated.
don't get grouchy over it; that's the
very worst thing for yourself you could
do. Give the boss a chance and If he
doesn't rise to it in reasonable time,
why, then you can kick If you want to,
but you must do this in fair good hui

Been Taking Turns.

Ms. Rogers had the barrel OF rus
set apples placed in the attic because
they were not quite ripe enough to eat,
and she warned her three boys, whose
ages range from to II years, not to
touch them.
Then, one rainy day, when she
sought the attic to get something from
a trunk, she came full upon her sons,
surrounded by apple cores. At her ap-
proach two of the boys drew closer to-
gether; but the third, little distance
off, who lay on his stomach content

paid no attention to his mothers en-.

Jack! Henry! Willie!" she ex-
claimed reproachfully. Whatever are
you doing? And those apples! Didn't

est, but we're not really eating them;
we're acting the Garden of Eden. Will

But began the mother, as stern

Dor FRAUD CASE.

Washington, April 10. - Dismissed

Tertiary for his alleged connection
with the fraud on the government in
the Improvement Of the harbor OF Sa-
vannah, Ga, former Capt. Oberlin M.
Carter had a 100000 fortune swept
out Of his hands today as a further
outcome OF that transaction. This was
the outcome of a decree by the United
States supreme court
The decree was based on claim
against Carter for an equitable ac-
counting for the money he had gotten,
1t was charged, fraudulently. The
claim Of the government was that

eminent by manipulating the specih-
cations and the letting OF the contracts
SO as practically to prevent COMPETE
ton and thereafter experimenting the
performance of the work in such an
inehicient and lax manner as to allow
faulty construction.
1t is alleged that thereby the govern
ment lost more than $2,000,O0O OF this
amount it is alleged Carter got one

tain possession of the securities and

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY

Chicago, April 1s.--Market opened
strong in sympathy with the strength
in cables and on buying by local
traders who were evidently short over
night. Market held steady with OFFER
ings moderate until the issuing OF the
Bradstreets visible which showed an
increase in worlds visible OF 100000
bushels against 7,5s5,OOo bushels de-
crease a year ago. Selling by COM
mission houses and local professionals
started another break which ran the
market off III cent per bushels. Re-
ports were current of hard wheat be-
ing worked to come here from Omaha
and soft winter from Michigan. Our
advices from Nebraska state the rain
has done practically no good in many
sections and that blowing up of wheat
lands is still going on. Northwestern
dispatches refer to damage by recent
cold weather to flax and early sown
oats and inferred some inquiry had
come to wheat also. Predictions are
for rather warmer weather in the CEN
trial west for tomorrow. We still favor

offerings occasioned by severe break

highly favorable. There was further

early sellers turned buyers and values
advanced sharply gaining " to "a with
