DIFFERENT STRAIN OF BOYS
Little Story Shows Why II Is That

ers Don't make Good"

Two boys left home with just money
enough TO take them through college.
They both did well at college, took
their diplomas in due time, and got
from members of the faculty letters
to large shipbuilding firm with which
they desired employment. When the
FIRST boy was given an audience with
the head Of the firm, he presented his
letters.
"What can you dor" asked the presi-
dent.
II should like some sort of clerk
ship"
''Weil, sir, i will take your name and
address, and If we have anything of
the kind will write to you"
The other boy then presented him!
self and his papers.
"What can you do?" the president
asked him.
"Anything that a green hand can do,
SIR" was the reply.
The president touched a bell that
called foreman, and the college grad
uate went to sorting scrap iron. A
week passed, and the president, meet
ing the superintendent, asked, "How
is the new man getting on?"
"oh," said the superintendent, "he
did his work so well that put him
over the gang"
In two years that young man was
the head of a department, and on the
way to a salary larger probably than
his friend will ever earn.-Youth's
companion.

this fear. by every victim calling from
the grave that nothing was so In.
eyitable as death, which lurked behind
every corner, hid in every shadow, lap
deep In the dark tube OF every gun
These men could not have q friend;
they could not love or trust woman.
They knew their one chance OF holding
on to life lay In their own distrusts
watchfulness, dexterity. and that nope
by the very nature OF their lives, could
not be lasting. They had doomed them
selves. What, then, could possibly
have dwelt in the depths OF their MINDS
as they went to their beds on Q starry
night like this, with mystery In silence
and shadow, with time passing surely
and the dark future and its secret APP
preaching every hour--what then, out
hell2 .
The hell in Duane's mind was not
fear OF man or fear OF death. He would
have been glad to lay down the burden
OF life, providing death came naturally.
Many times he had prayed for IL. But
that over developed. superhuman spirlt'
OF defense in him precluded suicide or
the inviting Of any enemy's bullet.
Sometimes he had q vague. scarcely
analysed idea that this spirit was what,
had made the southwest habitable Tor
the white man.
Every one of his victims, singly and
collectively, returned to him for ever,
IT seemed, in cold, passionless, accus-
ing domination Of these haunted hours.
They did not accuse him Of dishonor
or cowardice or brutality or murder; .
they only accused him OF Death. It
was as II they knew more than when
they were alive, had learned that LIE
was q divine mysterious gift not to
be taken. They thronged about him
with their voiceless clamoring, drtfted
around him with their fading eyes.
The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1916-07-20

Was II the breaking of a branch he
had stepped on or thrust aside? He
heard, the impatient pound OF his
horses hoofs. Then all was quiet. Still
he listened, not wholly satisfied. He
was never satisfied In regard to safety;
he knew too well that there never
could be safety for him in this coun-
try. s#..n. "a. r
The bay horse had threaded
the aisles Of the thicket. Duane
wondered what had drawn him
there. Certainly II had not been grass,
for there was none. Presently he heard
the horse tramping along, and then he
ran. The mud was deep, and the sharp
thorns made going difficult. He came
up with the horse, and at the same
moment crossed a multitude of fresh
horse tracks. ..'
He bent lower to examine them, and
was alarmed to find that they had been
made very recently, even since IL had
ceased raining. They were tracks of
well-shod horses. Duane Strengthened
up with cautious glance all around
His instant decision was to hurry back
to Jennie. But he had come q goodly
way through the thicket, and 1t was
impossible to rush back. Once or twice
he imagined he heard crashings in the
brush, but did not halt to make sure.
Certain he was now that some kind OF
danger threatened.
Suddenly there came an unmistakable
thump Of horses hoofs off somewhere
to the fore. Then q scream rent the air
1t ended abruptly. Duane leaped for.
ward, tore his way through the thorny
brake. He heard Jennie cry again--an
appealing call quickly hushed. It SEEM
ed more to his right, and he plunged
that way. He burst into glade where q
smoldering fire and ground covered
with footprints and tracks showed that
campers had lately been. Rushing
across this. he broke his passage out to
the open. But he was too late His horse
had disappeared, Jennie was gone.
There were no riders in sight. There
was no sound. There was a heavy trail
Of horses going north. Jennie had been
carried off-probably by outlaws.
Duane realized that pursuit was out OF

Premier Asquith Declares Tariff
Programme Not Binding
on Government.
BY FRANCIS w. HIRST.

London, June 27.-Stock ex-
change markets are idle, with
Americans dull, in sympathy with
the Mexican situation and the prob
ability that you will have to raise
large sums for war material and
expeditionary preparations. Con-
soils are firm on an all-round i'm
provement in the war map.
Chancellor Hollweg's semi-official
reputation Of any programme of
territorial conquests and his pres
ent reliance on the support of So
cialists and Clericals appear highly
significant of the changing psychol-
ogy Of the German people. The
political parties which oppose Prus-
sian militarism and junker ascen-
dancy have seemingly gained pre-
dominance.
The internal difficulties Of indus
trial Germany are accumulating De-
fore harvest. The meat famine and
scarcity Of raw materials refuse to
yield to bureaucratic organization
or chemical invention.
One absurdity of the tariff re-
form theory that Germany will
dump heavily after the war soon
will be exposed.
The political crisis here may end
in a return to party government.
That Unionists should raise objec-
tons over Home Rule is as natural
as that the independent section OF
the Liberal party should repudiate
CONSUMPTION and protection. Free
traders soon will take action over
the resolutions Of the Paris eco
nomic conference, but Premier AS
quith has declared they do not bind
either the government or the House
