Joseph Shcetz Convicted on The
Charae Of Abduction.

| The case Of the Commonwealth o
Virginia vs.. Joseph Sheetz, charges
with the SEDUCTION OF DOME Getz
daughter Of Samuel Getz, OF thu
Edinburg eiehborhood. occupied thu
attention Of the Circuit Court for five
days and Was concluded on lass Mon
dav morning The jury found the de-
fendant guilty and ascertained his
punishment at one cent fine and an
Imprisonment in the county Jail for
one minute.
From the evidence, it appeared thai
the defendant had taken DOME Getz
who was between IA and 10 years of
age, to Harrisonourg and then to a
family in Augusta county, where she
was employed and kindly treated.
The evidence introduced showed
that the girl had been very cruelty
treated by her father and mother, and
had excited the sympathies of both
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sheetz who were
near neighbors. Mr.. Sheetz's action
it seemed, was with the knowledge
and approval of his wife. There was
no evidence that the girl had been
mistreated in anyway by Mr.. Sheet.
After the verdict was rendered
motion to set it aside was made by
Judge F. S. Tavenner, which was
overruled bv the court. Mr.. Sheetz
then paid the fine Of one cent and
spent one minute at the county board
ing house, which is conducted by
Sheriff Daniel Spiker.
The Commonwealth was represent
ed by Commonwealth Attorney
Williamson assisted by Hon. M. L.
Walton, and the defence by Judge F.
8. Tavenner and F. 81. Brumback.

TO THE BOSS.

Do you employ young men?
Has it occurred to you that you owe
these young men more than theu
wages?
Or-if you fight shy of moral con
siderations-haye you considered that
by raising the standard of honor and
conduct of these young fellows you
might profit thereby?
They pattern after you.
Consciously or not, those who work
for you look up to you and follow your
example. What more natural? You
are their ideal You have succeeded
in your business They hope to sue
ceed in the same business. Why should
they not initiate your ways and follow
your methods?
Therefore
Your standards of business and of
life, your habits and purposes will be-
come theirs.
You may urge that your life is your
private affair. You may say to your
people, "Do as l say, not as do"
Nevertheless they will Judge your
creed by your actions. He is rare
young man who is able to profit by
the errors of his boss and avoid them.
You cannot conceal your real charac-
ter.
For example
If you are accustomed to use sharp
practices in your deals, If you deceive
your customers, your employees know
it. Unconsciously they will adopt as
their code. "Be honest with the firm,
but cheat other people," If you will
think a moment you will see where
that sort of honesty" leads.
If you SOW dishonesty you will of
dishonesty reap losses.
And IL you swear, habitually or oc-
casionally, you may expect to hear the
echo of your oaths in the mouths OF
your understudies. And IL you lose
your poise and your temper you will
lose the respect Of your people.
If you drink, even occasionally. you
set the example for your helpers. You
may have strict rules forbidding the
use of liquor. but you will find that
your habits count for more than your
rules. -.>.
If you gamble your men will know
it. and If some time one of them en-
bezzles your money to pay his gam
bling debts you win discover why be
did it.
If you speculate look out. The boys
under you will speculate.
This is not preachment.
1t is straight speech-man fashion.
Be not deceived. Decency. cleanli-
ness Of life. fine purpose, are yet at
premium in the business world and

MoLDING THE PUTTY.

Take care lest you handicap your son.
There's a man inside of him-if you
can get the man out of him. And man.
hood Is made by putting flesh and
blood up against the sharp corners OF
life
Cruel? It is effective.
Is ii your aim to shield your boy
from the hardshins you knew when
you were a boy: That is natural de
sire, but in carrying it out you may
coddle your boy and weaken his char.
acter.
For instance:
You let the chap sleep late while his
mother keeps the breakfast warm for
him, and he comes downstairs TO find
fault with his food Look out! You are
pampering that boy. You are padding
things to giYe hiu al easy impact,
Which may be fatherly.
But very unwise.
Because you are taking away his
chance to become man. You let him
spend money he does not earn. You
make the going easy instead of hard.
He ought to strive against odds. He
sught to work to win.
How shall he learn to swim without
going into the water?
You want to save him from suffering.
but suffering perfects character.
If your boy is to know the worth of
a dollar be must earn 1t; IL he is to
know the thrill of success he must
win It.
And mark this:
Your boy can never get into touch
with those who strive If he does not
