GETTING A START
NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, Jr.
HE CLOSED THE DOOR.

John was an iceman. For years he
had driven his wagon along the city
boulevards and through the back al
leys. He was a strong, husky fellow,
popular with the boss and with his GUS
toners. He was accommodating and
his ringing Good morning was al
ways welcome. He was ambitious. but
over his horizon little had arisen save
horse and an ice cart.
Among his customers was a multi
millionaire, the president of a bank
and the owner of the largest factory
in the city. The basement door was
located under his library. Every morn
ing this man of business sat before
the open window, or before the glow
ing CRATE, and read his morning paper

been. his eye had not lost it's power OF
penetration or his ear it's acuteness.
He saw and he heard more than most
men.

and others delivered their goods below
his window, and every one, save the
iceman, slammed the door when he
went out; but John always closed It
softly.
One day, as John was leaving, the
millionaire poked his head out OF the
window and exclaimed: Say, you
man. why don't you slam the doors
like the other fellows?"
John was confused for a moment,
then he pulled himself together and
replied:
What's the use Of being nuisance
when you don't have to be-"

millionaire.

John, in heavy boots ana overalls,
with hat in hand, stood at the library
door.

The iceman held the cigar in his
fingers, not daring to light it,

In a week John was at his post. In
year he was promoted. Today he
isn't partner, and he isn't superin-
tendent OF the factory, but he is draw
ing two thousand a year, and is the
most popular man on the premises.

HEALTH AND SALARY.

Good health Is not always a gift of

may be acquired or earned.

Nature intended to start us in health
and to keep us well. and most Of us
can have the health we want IL we
will, unless we are prenatally handi-

Nature does her part, is forever CIV

MAHER DELIVERS ADDRESS
AT BANQUET AT GENEVA

GENEVA, Neb., Feb. 25.-(Special)-
The fifth annual reunion of the United
Spanish War Veterans, Joined by the
Grand Army of the Republic, took place
this evening. The program consisted of
music by Miss Helen earns. soloist, and
Miss Erma Jenkins, pianist, of Lincoln
and an address by Colonel John G.
Maher
Colonel Maher said that the president
in his trials and troubles will be mis-
represented and have his detractors, but
an incident that occurred in the halls of
congress a few days ago when a demo-
crat impugned the presidents motives
and was denounced by that brilliant
leader OF the republicans. Mr.. Mann,
proves concluslvely that no man can mis-
represent the president and have any
influence with the American people. He
may differ from him. but he cannot lie
about him. Undoubtedly the spirit of
Washington and the immortal Lincoln
animated the heart and soul of the bril-
liant man from Illinois when he replied
to this democrat, and proves the sta
bility Of our government and that the
stars and stripes will float in genera
tions to come over a free and enlight-
ened people.
Rev. Mr.. Charles presided as chairman
at the opening and later introduced Mr.
Burke who conducted the program. For
