FORGET THE CLOCK.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

The clock is the young mans worst
enemy"
So says the youngest railroad presi-
dent in the world President o. L.
Dikeson of the White Pass and Yukon.
His is an interesting story. He lived
at Ottumwa. Ia, and at the age of six
teen had saved a little money doing
odd jobs after school. But" said he,
the call of the big city was in me-"
Knowing that some preparation for
business was necessary, he took a COM
mercial course and learned stenegra-
ply. Then he wrote out a want nd.
and sent it TO a Chicago paper
A few days later in answer TO his ad-
vertisement he was offered a place by
the Burlington railroad in its Chicago
Offices. That was the turning point in
his career.
Young Dikeson did his work so we'll
that when there was a vacancy in the
office of the car tracing bureau he was
given the place on trial.
How he traced those cars.
The clock did not stop him. He did
not let it become his enemy. He traced
the cars day and night. 1t was not a
matter Of hours with him. but a matter
Of tracing cars until he found them.
And he did not stop until he found
them.
The higher officials began to look
over their spectacles at the young fell
low who did things.
His faithfulness over few things
put the suggestion into the minds OF
the men higher up that possibly here
| was young man who could be a ruler
| over many things.
Then came rapid promotions.
First he was made assistant superin
tendent of transportation, then two
| years after inspector of transportation
| of the entire line. Still another change
| made him assistant to the president OF
| the road.
At the age of thirty-three shrewd
| capitalists put him at the head of the
| western lines.
II guess it's hobby with me-" saif
| this successful young American who
| climbed from the bottom to the top IL
sixteen years. "One thing I've found
the clock is the young mans worst en-
envy
Also he says: BE more than worth,
Of the job you hold. You'll then b,
worthy Of the place higher up"
There's wisdom in these axioms.
The young man who always watches
the clock and is ready to quit when i
begins striking is merely putting il
| time, not service. He is a time server
| And time servers seldom are given thu
| chance to climb.
Forget the clock. Be worthy Of tn
small job and you will then be worth.

Korean MARRIAGE Customs.

The Koreans marry young-some
times as early as twelve or fourteen
the matches being arranged by the
older people. as in China and Japan.
The young folk have very little to say
in the matter. After marriage the
young couple usually live with the
husbands parents-in the old patri.
archal fashion. The wife. provided
her husband is able to afford servants,
is kept pretty closely at home, only
the women Of the lower classes going
out much in public.

GIRLS COLOR RETURNS

Was Pale and sickIy Last Spring.
Every boil is worth five dollars" is
an old saying among people who think
that the impurities of the blood escape
when a boil breaks.
But that is a great mistake A boil
is only a sign of impure blood and has
no purifying power. The only thing
to do is to enrich and vivify the blood
and the best thing for this is Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron prep
aration without oil.
Other signs of bad blood are pale
skin, weakness. nervousness and run
down condition OF the system.
Miss Alice Jones, bright young girl
of Richmond Hill, y. V, was pale and
weak for months. She began taking
Vinol and ii not only made her we'll
and strong, but also brought back her
healthy color. She also says Il like
to take Vinol as the taste is pleasant.
This is the very best time of year
to put your blood in good order and
build up your system, and we guaran
tee that Vinol will do this. II il does
not, we give back your money. Lee

TEN years ago the big main
line railroads in Idaho were
assessed at only $4,000 per
mile and a cry was going up
then that the rate should be
$4,000. Since then the state
board of equalization has been
gradually fixing the valuation
at a higher rate each year until
a valuation Of SOS, 900 has now
been reached. The assessed val
uation OF other property in the
state has hardly increased at
the same percentage, yet the
grand total increase in the valu-
alton OF taxable property in
Idaho during the ten years has
baen enormous and would be
a matter for rejoicing if expenses
and taxation had not also kept
on increasing at the same ratio.
Having much money the state
has grown somewhat extrava-
giant in it's use, the tendency
being to spend more instead Of
practicing economy and redpc-
ing the burden OF taxation. 1t
is true this condition is no worse
in Idaho than in many other
western states and is due very
largely to public improvements
and development expenses nat.
ural in a new country.
