BE A MAN.
Man is made OF Dust.
Dust settles.
BE a man.

| man Is maze OF buSt-
Dust settles.
| Be man.
Settle! That is a good word with
which to conjure.
He who does not settle his accounts.
erwise. is not manly and does not
stand we'll among men.
Everybody is under obligation to
somebody. He owes money or he
owes something beside money. He
cannot succeed, he cannot be true to
himself and to the world, unless he is
under obligations to somebody or to
something. and unless others are I'M
der similar obligations to him.
Reciprocity is one of the first laws
of business and of every other depart
ment of life.
Alone. we amount to nothing. With
others there is no limit to our attain
ment.
Many a man pays his bills promptly
and forgets to keep his engagements.
He is financially honest and socially
and otherwise dishonest.
An obligation is binding. no matter
how small it may be.
If you agree to meet a man at
certain hour or upon certain day. 1t
is just as important that you keep
this engagement as it is that you pay
your bills.
Nothing detracts more from ones
reputation than carelessness in keep
ing obligations. however small they
may be.
Men of mark, men who rightly &C.
cupy high positions. never forget an
engagement they are always on time.
and they consider themselves under
obligations to thosS with whom they
come In contact. in business and out
of it. Their word is as good as their
bond, and their bond is usually above
par.
l do not find any excuse for profess
sional men who are forgetful and who
do not appear to realize the impor-
lance of meeting every obligation and
Of keeping every engagement. Some
of them may excuse themselves by
claiming that their minds are preoc-
cupied with other things. Sheer non
sense! The mind that cannot grasp
and surround and meet an obligation,
whether 1t belongs to a great scientist
or to a clerk behind the counter is
not the kind of mind which is pre-
destined to succeed.
There is no excuse for failure to
meet an appointment or other obliga-
ton, or for delay in answering let
ter which requires an immediate re-
ply.
81 am too busy" is not an excuse.
You can trust busy man, you can
depend upon him more than you can
upon a man who has nothing to do.
If ! desired help. should go to the
busiest man l know. for he has time.
The loafer hasn't.
At times it may be impossible for
you to 90 the work of the day during
the day; but, in the majority of cases.
each days work can be performed
more easily today than 1t can be done
tomorrow.
Settle at the time of settlement.
Today is yours; tomorrow may not
be.
You are dependent upon your fell
low men. Treat them as you would
have them treat you, and realize that
they have equal rights with you; that
when you promise to do a thing, and
do not do it, you have stolen another
mans time and are just as much a
thief as you would be If you robbed

GETTING A START

THE LISTENER.

Every man who does not know any
thing, and most men who do know
something. love to talk about what
they think they know. or do know.
The close-mouthed merchant. the
| yea. yea, nay, nay" sort of fellow.
who uses his mind more than his
mouth, will, IL encouraged. talk for
| hours upon any subject in which he
| is intensely interested. His head IL
storehouse of information. and. al
| though 1t may have more entrances
than exits, he will open himself to
anyone who knows how to knock at
the door of his mind.
l have a friend who. although not
literally educated, possesses more
general information to the square inch
than SO per cent of educators have to
the square foot, and that is one hun
| dred and forty-four to one. He OBJ
tanned this knowledge largely because
he was good listener and possessed
the ability to make others talk. II
he were riding on a train he would
select from among the passengers the
man who he thought was intelligent
and carried with him a heavy stock
| of information. In a diplomatic way
he would discover the strangers bust
ness or profession and the subject in
which he was the most interested.
He would turn the conversation in
that direction, asking an intelligent
question here and there, and showing
deep interest in the subject. He sell
dom failed to obtain the desired re-
suit. He met all classes of people.
from the classical student to the keep
er of meat market, and from each
he drew supply of information. much
of which, naturally, was valueless. He
had sense enough, however. to realize
that he could not expect to receive
valuable information alone; that he
must be content with chaff as we'll
as with wheat; but from each he drew
something worth while. The worth
while he remembered; the worthless
he forgot
Conversation is, l believe, the best
medium for the obtaining of informa-
ton. Everybody has something of his
own of which he is proud, and which
he is willing to distribute.
Bear in mind, however. that the
listener is only half man. He must
give. II he would receive He, there
fore, is not only a good listener, but
good distributor. He exchanges
what he knows for what others know,
plays game of mutual winning, CIV
ing what he can afford to spare and
taking from others what they are will
ing to distribute.
Social as we'll as business life is
based upon exchange.
Education does not consist of receiv.
ing and of not distributing.
II you give freely to others, they
will as freely give to you.
Conversation. rightly turned, leads
to profit. and is that kind of work
which is both recreation and business.
While you should give the prefer
ence to the acquiring of information
which is directly in your line, do not
confine your mental receipts to that
alone. Familiarity with general af-
fairs. even though many of them may
not be of direct benefit to you, broad
ends the mind and makes you better
able to use that part of the informa-
ton received which is part and par
eel of your livelihood making.
Don't be afraid of knowing too
much.

INTERVENTION IN

Nampa Man, Home From
the Border, Tells of
Conditions.

Nampa, Oct. 30.-That the present
government of Mexico is highly I'M
stable that the conditions of the coun-
try as a consequence are very chaotic
and that ultimately this country will
have to follow its action in dealing with
Cuba is the view of II. G. Craig of this
city, who has just returned from the
Mexican border after having served
his time of service as a member Of
Company e of the Idaho National
Guard. Mr.. Craig was among those
who enlisted in 1913, and as a result
his term of active service has just ex
pired.
In commenting upon his view of ex
listing conditions in Mexico, Mr.. Craig
said: The present government Is not
OF sufficient stability or strength to
maintain peace and conditions of order
in the country. Ultimately this coun-
try will be compelled to take action
as it did in Cuba. Conditions are
highly chaotic and unsettled" Did
Huerta's government possess the ne
cessary elements of strength" More
so than the present government and
probably as much strength as is pos
sessed by the average government Of
that country"

WORKERS URGED
TO new EFFORTS

At mass meeting held at the Pinney
theater yesterday afternoon Idahos
temperance workers we're urged on
with new enthusiasm to continue their
strenuous campaign for the prohibition
constitutional amendment which will
settle the dry argument once and for
all in this state. Their ardor was raised
to q high point by the excellent ad
dress made by Mrs. Ella Alexander
Boole, one of the vice presidents at
large of the w. c. T. U.
Mrs. Boole did not deal with ideal
lsms in her address in behalf of pro-
hibitlon. but dealt with facts secured
from records in states and cities now
dry and which had been wet. She
placed before her audience the figures
of taxation in cities and states which
had operated under the licensed saloon
and under the prohibition law. In
North Yakima, she cited that the city
tax levy under prohibition after nine
months than 1t was previously and she
cited Denver and numerous other cities
to clinch her argument.
The speaker pointed out that by far
the greatest amount of crime commit
ted was because of liquor and with the
states going dry jails were not SO much
used and new money did not have to be
appropriated for adding new buildings
to the penitentiaries, repairing jails and
feeding prisoners. She announced that
she brought out these points to show
that the license derived from a saloon
did not begin to pay for caring for their
offsprings in the penitentiaries, the
asylums, orphan homes and in the
poor houses, all maintained at public
expense.
Rev. Mr.. Hyde of Bull opened the
meeting with a prayer after which 10
young girls representing the 10 dry
states. sang an appropriate selection
which was followed by 20 boys and
girls of the Loyal Temperance Legion.
who gave a demonstration with flags
and sang temperance songs. An i'm
pressive silent demonstration was then
given, first showing q little girl well
dressed, wearing a placard, MY papa
will vote dry for me-" She was fol-
lowed by an orphan boy whose placard
read, will you vote dry for me?" This
demonstration brought forth vigorous
applause.
