she did not try to do very good work for her
employers. because they did not pay much"
This doing poor work because IL does not pay
much is just what keeps thousands and thou
sands of young people from getting In the
world. Small pay Is for doing half
work or slovenly work. Indeed. the pay which
one receives should have nothing to do with
the quality OF his work. The work should be
matter OF conscience. II Is a question OF char
actcr, not OF rcnunera ton. y person has no
right to demoralizc his character by doing
sloVenly or half-inished work simply because
II doesn't pay much. y conscientious person

nothing more than his board for It, A large
part OF the best work that has been done
in the history OF the world has been only half
paid for.-St. Joseph News Press.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Canon City. Colo.-Records Of the
office Of the county clerk here show a
gradual falling off in the number Of
marriage licenses issued in Fremont
county during the last twenty years,
but whether the decline is due to the
increasing high cost Of living or to
some other cause is not known.
During the decade preceding 1904,
the average number of marriage H.
censes granted yearly in this county
was III. In the ten years since then
the average has fallen to 1853, al
though there has been since then a
material growth in the population OF
the county.
Thus far this year only seventy.one
marriage licenses have been issued
and 1914 threatens to set q new low
mark. The marriage license figures
for this county for the last ten years
follow:
1906, 1876; 1906, 1874; 1907, 1853; 1908,
