Sound Advice From Man Who
Retires at Early Age
With Fortune.
POOR BOY IN BEST POSITION
Hunger az Spur and No Meal
Tastes as Good as One That
Comes After Hard Days
Work-BIrd Shot Don't
Get the Big Game.

The maxims of a man who retires
at the age of fifty to enjoy a fortune
ample for his needs are we'll worth
considering by all youthful aspirants
for liko success. They are as follows:
An employer generally makes the
pay envelope fit the boy. Wage and
work balance on the scales every
where.
The greatest shortage here, there,
everywhere, is in men of brains, en-
ergy and judgment who are workers.
Brains without energy are like a
hobbled horse; energy without judg-
ment requires the second man to di-
rect the first.
There has never been a time so es-
septially rich in opportunity. The
United States is moving in thousand
directions where a step had not been
taken thirty years ago.
A poor boy Is in the best position.
Hunger is q spur. No meal ever
tastes SO good as the one that comes
after hard days work.
1t may be comfortable to be born
wealthy, but it doesn't insure ones
status or success in business.
1t doesn't do to be satisfied with
small things. Big game is never
brought down with bird shot.
One must not tie his ambition to a
post, else its limit will be a small
circle.
Whnn hao
cy he should retire. The great trouble
with most men Is that they try to get
a little more than they have-when
they really don't need 1t.
Atmore L. Baggott of New York
city, who has attained such success in
conducting his own affairs, is we'll
qualified to give advice to young mer
He was born to the ordinary walks Of
life, grew up an ordinary boy and is,
therefore, type Of the many rather
than the few. He says:
Somewhere in the country there
may be boy who will find a lesson
IN my most unspectacular beginning
A guardian had my small affairs in
hand, for both my parents were dead
before was ten years old. When
was sixteen he told me 1 was to go
to work for an insurance company
The true value Of my services at that
time can best be understood by the
amount of my wages. 1 got not a
penny, and l earned it. Generally
speaking boys have an exaggerated
idea Of their Importance in the world.
1t was true in my case. 1 could not
see then as can now, that until such
time as I began to learn the ropes the
value Of my service was properly
recognized by a cipher. Each week
added something to my store of in
formation until, with an accumulated
knowledge of ii weeks, it seemed as
If 1 had embraced much of the total
of fire insurance wisdom. Then
got my first envelope. It contained
six dollars. No sum of money ever
looked SO large to me as that. 1t no
doubt was proper pay for me at that
time, just as nothing had represented
my true value before that.
"The lesson in this is that an en-
ployer generally makes the pay en-
velope fit the boy or man. A boys
first thought should be as to what he
has to offer his employer, not what
the employer may offer him. Wage
and work are made to balance on
scales everywhere and the more work
there is on one side the quicker is it
made apparent that a money readjust-
ment is necessary"

SUCCESS is WON
TRY CLEAN SLATE HABIT
Is Sure Cure for Many Kinds of Un-
happiness Breeders Among
Girls.

Are you one Of the girls who are
given to moping, to looking feartully
into the future, or to lamenting The
pastf There is no surer cure for
these unhappiness breeders than to
cultivate the clean slate habit.
What is It?
Live a day at a time. Start each
morning with fresh record to be
made. This must not be muddled
with the blurs Of yesterday nor the
possible blots of tomorrow.
The girl who gets the clean slate
habit, realizing the value of living but
a day at a time, determines to make
that day as bright and helpful as she
can. She seeks to write upon it only
pleasant things. If the disagreeable
ones must go down she looks forward
to the morrow when they can be
rubbed out, though perhaps they must
be rewritten.
The girl with the clean slate habit
does not force early prinkles by dread
of the morrow. She takes all the fun
Of the present until 1t becomes a
habit; such strong habit that even
the worries as they come fail to blur
the slate.
Try it just for one day. Begin this
morning to rub out of your recollec-
ton the things you failed to do and
the things you may fail in doing. De-
termine, until you go to bed tonight,
to live for the next thing as well and
as cheerfully as you can.
If day spent is not entirely as you
would spend it, at least the average
Of happiness is higher than if you
passed the hours In vain regrets and
vainer forebodings until no strength
Is left for sane living.

Old Map of South America.

Claude Vautin, an English mining
engineer. who has been prospecting in
Peru, returned the other day on the
steamship Zacapa. Besides looking
after mining property, he has been
collecting interesting antiquities of
the country.
One of the most interesting things
he brings back with him is a map of
South America made by the Jesuits in
1892. 1t gives an outline of the land
as far north as Cuba and is apparent
ly accurate. It's purpose is evidently
plain, for every missionary station in
the country at that time is Indicated
on the map, and the line of travel
necessary to reach them is marked
out. This map was obtained by Mr..
Vautin at Puno, Peru.
Another interesting collection he
brought back is he death masks of
the Incas. These were hammered out
of metal and placed over the faces of
the dead. Three of these obtained by
Mr.. Vautin are of sheet gold.

We handed out the salve thing To-

HE WAS SORE ON HIS JOB
Dissatisfied 7ookkeepsr Tries to Find

Moral.

The main character of this nara.

This being a phenomenon so univer-
sal in it's manifestations as to pre-
clude any possibility Of misunder-
standing, there Is no particular neces-
sity for stating why he was dissatis.
fed with it; perhaps it was pay, per-
haps duties, likely egotism. At any
rate he concluded that the simplest
manner to find better one was to ad-
vertise in the classified columns of
the Scream and proceeded to do so.
AS he was of the age which has not
yet learned to hide it's light under a
bushel in such a manner as to make
every one realize that it is hidden
there, the advertisement read some
thing like this:
General office man 25 years old;
efficient bookkeeper; would like po-
sition at more money. Nothing under
$3.50 considered. Answer E 49,"
He received an answer the next
morning advising him to call a little
before noon at the Bike Pickle com
pany. The letter added that they had
nothing at the moment, but expected
to have a position as assistant head
bookkeeper in a couple of weeks.
Well, as the position which the
young man happened to be holding at
the moment was that of assistant
head bookkeeper for the Bike Pickle
company the matter dropped about
there 1t might be further noted,
though, that he was at work little
earlier the next morning and worked
a little later that night.

Two hundred Troy laundresses ap-

committee on labor in opposition to
the bill limiting the working hours of
women to 81 per week. They asserted
that by working 90 hours per week in
busy times they could make W the

dull season, and they claimed that
they were entitled by the constitution

Something very like this was heard
from railroad trainmen when congress
had under consideration the law, now
in force, limiting the number of con-
secutive hours they might be en-
ployed. But private rights must yield
to public policy. 1t was held that con-
siderations of public safety required
that trainmen be restrained from over
taxing their powers Of endurance; a
sleepy engineer might run by a dan
ger signal. or an overtired telegrapher
might neglect to signal a train, with
disastrous consequences.

Not Born to Be Drowned.

The plan of nineteen-year-old girl
to commit suicide was frustrated in
a remarkable manner the other day.
She flung herself into the sea (near
Calais, France), but her act was wit
messed by a number of boatmen, who
at once put off to her rescue. But the
tide swept her right out to sea, and
the men had to turn back. They
rushed into the town and gave in.
formation to the authorities A
steamboat then put off to look for
her, and three miles out to sea they
found her. She had tainted, but her
dress had formed a sort Of parachute
around her and kept her above water.
She was taken to shore, and soon re-
covered, being little worse of her dan,
gerous experience.

Bows and Work.

1t is the verdict of many close Of
servers that our boys do not work
hard enough. This does not mean
necessarily that they are lazy, but
rather that they have not acquired
what may be called the habit of work.
In this respect the city boy' is at a
disadvantage, for there is nothing to
equal the farm chores as means Of
developing habits of hard work. OF
course there are city boys who do
chores and are encouraged by their
parents TO form habits Of industry;
but for the most pa Il. especially in
the so-called well-to do classes, the
boys chief aim in life is the pursuit

ct pleasure, with useful work and
study tolerated by him as unimportant
side issues. 1t is a great pity that
so many things, which used to be look
ed upon as the proper work Of
the BOY, are now taught to be beneath
his dignity, and are performed by serv-
ants or left undone. Again, the de-
velopment of fat-life, the janitor sys-
tenn, and kindred metropolitan "im-
provements," have all helped in the
emancipation of the boy from useful
labor. The result is that most of our
boys lack that habit of industry which
makes 1t easy to work, whether il be
at manual labor or in the culture Of
the mind.-William T. Miller in the
