Labrador,s Short summsr.

How brief is the summer on the
highlands of Labradorl says Hesketh
Prichard in the Wide World Snow
does not melt TIL July, then with
rush midsummer comes. Grasses and
leaves grow almost visibly, the wild
cotton soon filings out its little white
pennons, millions of berries ripen on
the ground, the loon cries, the ptarmi-
gan calls. and you may even see a
butterfly balancing In the warm wind.
But then also wakens the countless
army OF hunchbacks, lean and gray
mosquitoes. piping bllthely for blood
SO summer reigns. Then suddenly
one day at the end Of August. after the
sun has sunk behind the barren crags
through balmy warmth Of evening.
one may wake up to find everything
TRANSPORTED and the first snow Of an
other season already falling.

The ExeeptlonaI YOUNG Man.

The exceptional young man, says
Orison SWEET Marden In Success Maya
zine, is the one who looks upon his
employers interests as he would his
own, who regards his vocation as an
opportunity to make a man Of himself,
an opportunity to show bis employer
the stuff he is made Of, and who is al
ways preparing himself to fill the posi-
ton above him.
The exceptional young man Is the one
who never says, ~ was not paid to do
that" II don't get salary enough to
work after hours or to take 80 much
pains" He never leaves things half
done, but does everything to finish.
The exceptional young man is the
one who studies his employers bust
ness, who reads its literature, who Is
on the watch for every improvement
which others In the same line have
adopted and which his employer has
not, who Is always improving himself
during his spare time for larger things.

The Motto on the Clock.

The old Temple clock in London
bears a curious inscription, the origin
of which is ascribed to a chance re-
mark.
Some 200 years or so ago a master
workman was employed to repair and
put In a new face upon the clock.
When his work was nearly done he
asked the benchers for an appropriate
motto to carve upon the base. They
promised to think of one. Week after
week he came for their decision, but
was put off. One day he found them
at dinner In commons.
"What motto shall put on the clock,
your lordshipf" he asked of q learned
Judge.
"Oh, go about your businessp bis
honor cried angrily.
"And very suitable for lazy, daw-
ding gangr' the clockmaker is said
to have muttered as he retreated. II
Is certain that he carved go about
your business on the base.
The lawyers decided that no better
warning could he given them at any
hour OF the day, and there the inscrip
ton still remains. Harper's Weekly.

CALLS KAISER A poLrRooN
Pan-eorman Post Aroused by Expect
ed Concessions over Morocco

Berlin, Aug. 4.-The prospects of
a speedy settlement of the Morocco
question between Germany and
France is welcomed on every hand,
but the terms of the agreement when
they become known, will. probably
cause considerable dissatisfaction in
both Germany and France.
Both have been compelled to con-
cede a number of weighty points be-
cause neither was prepared to press
matters too far. Major Won Kiderlen
Waechter is thoroughly wearied OF
the whole incident, especially so be-
cause he has not effected fulfllment
of his desires, and even the French
diplomats are prepared for storm
of Indignation on both sides of the
frontier
Its first indications appear in the
! Pan-German Post and the Zukunft,
the organ of Maximilien Harden. The
Post today not only attacks Major
Won Kiderlen Waechter and the I'm
perial Chancellor, Won Bethmann-Holl
veg. and demands their retirement,
but makes violent onslaught upon
Emperor William, asking: what has
happened to the Hohenzollerns?" 1t
calls the Emperor the strongest sup
porter of the AngloFrench policy and
continues:
1--WE will not yet believe what Eng
lish and Frenche newspapers have
said for weeks, namely: Wait until
your Emperor returns and then the
retreat will be sounded and Germany
will cede
The Pan American Post terms the
Emperor william the Timid" and
THE Valorous Poltroon."
Herr Harden in the Zukunft also
attacks his Majesty, severely naming
him William the Peaceful"

ance, and they will not stand the

in Massachusetts, where macadam
construction is along the most APP
