Money Talks-But There Are Other
Speakers.

In the September American Magazine
sid" says:
/ "How would you like a $4,000 a year
| job? | suppose you think you would like
it lot But would you like 1T Would
you enjoy the work you would have tc
do in order to earn that much salary
Would you be willing TO pay what il
costs to become a SIS, 900 year man
This brings us to an interesting fact
about the human animal-namely, his
way of pretending sometimes to ambi-
| tions which he does not possess. Ask
almost any man in the United States to-
day whether he would like job paying
$4,000 year and he will tell you, yes
vehemently and with evident sincerity.
But in 90 cases out of 100 he would not
really mean it, He would like the mon
ey-yes-but to earn it by giving a cor
poration the price which it asks in re-
turn for that much money would not
suit him at all.
In spite of the apparent lure of mon
ey, the great mass of human beings are
not lured by other things. They think
they are, but they aren't. Men get their
orders from within themselves, not from
which control men are so powerful that
they make the almighty dollar look
mighty weak. Frequently laziness is in
command, in which case rocking chair
seems more valuable than the presidency
of a railroad Sometimes whiskey is the
boss. We all know men who sacrifice
good incomes in order to have lots of
time for drink In millions of other
cases men delibera tely choose Jobs which
do not pay well in money. although they
pay enormously in other forms of salts
faction. Men are constantly deciding
against the scramble for money and in
favor OF quiet life, or life devoted /
to teaching or science or public service. /
or a life devoted to some other useful I
which has no special cash /
value.
The truth Is that most men have no
taste for the duties that go with the big
Eest salaries The man who is worth /
$4,000 a year to corporation must be
willing to work evenings and holidays
he must be ready TO upset all personal
1lans if business calls him He must be
eady at a moments notice TO give up
sunday with his family and spend it in
railway trip TO another city for Mon
Iay morning conference. In his office he
must also besr the brJInt. He must be
ager to take responsibility and be ready

ANNOYING KIDNEY ILLS
Make Life Miserable for Many Barre
People

There's nothing more annoying than
kidney weakness or inability to properly
control the kidney seeretions, Night and
day alike, the sufferer is tormented, and
what with the burning and sealding, tho
attendant baekache, headache and dizzi-
ness, life is, indeed, a burden. Doan's
Kidney Pills have given peace and com.
fort to many Barre people. Profit by
this Barre residents experience.
Frank f. Adams, Il Elm street, Barre,
says;
81 have used Doan's Kidney Pills, and
they have proved valuable medicine.
For some time had been troubled by my
kidneys. Ny back ached and had pains
in my sides, but Doan's Kidney Pills
cured the trouble"

Washington, d. c., Sept. 1.-THE Jap.
anese government has officially informed
the United States, through Ambassador
Guthrie, that while ii has made impor.
tant demands on China in connection
with the recent clash at Chang Chiatun
there is nothing in the representations
infringing on American interests by vio-
latng the open door, Chinese integrity
or the Root Takahira agreement.
AMBASSADOR Guthrie reported that the
Japanese foreign minister confirmed the
outline of the demands printed in this
county as approximately true" A sim
liar confirmation from the Chinese gov.
eminent was received Tuesday through
American Minister Reinsch at Picking.

nese demands, which have been well es.
tablished throughout, so much as their
real purpose, that have caused anxiety
here. If the recrudescence OF Mongolia
banditry i'll conjunction with monarch
ist revolution has, as claimed, produced
a condition OF outlawry where Japanese
lives are endangered, officials are said to
be wiling TO ADMIT that Japan IS as
much justified in having troops in those
sections as the United States is in hav-
ing troops in Mexico. If, on the other
hand, ii developed that Japan is magni-
flying a small local disturbance into an
international complication to exact po-
litical concessions, the United States is
expected to object, holding that the in
tegrity OF China is being invaded.
In this connection, officials note the
promptness with which japanese sol
diers were on the scene and the fact that
a few days later troops quickly appeared
when similar difficulty broke out at
Chao lanpo seventy five miles inside
the Mongolian border and far away from
any railroad concession where their pres
ence is authorized.
