that you haven't a right to auk, be-
cause .you put yocraclf lit the position
of the inquisitive bull pup who atnrted
out to smell the third rail ou the trol-
ley right of way. You’re going to be
full of Information lu a minute.
In the first place, it looks as if busi-
ness might be pretty good this fall,
and I'm afraid you'll have your hands
so full lu your place us assistant man-
ager of the lard department that you
won't have time to run my job too.
Then I dou't propose to break any
quick promotion-records with you Just
because you happened to be born Into
a job with the house. A fond father
and a fool son hitch up into n had
team, and a good business makes a
poor family carryall. Out of business
hours I like you better than any one
at tlie office, but In them there are
about twenty men ahead of you lu my
affections. The way for you to get
tirst place Is by racing fair and square
and not by using your old daddy as a
springboard from which to Jump over
their heads. A man's son is entitled to
a chance In his business, but not to a
ciucb.
It's been my experience that when
an office.begins to look like n family-
tree you'll ttnd worms tucked away
snug and cheerful in most of the ap-
ples. A fellow with an nlllce full of
relatives ,is like a sow with a litter of
pigs—apt to get u little thin and peak-
ed as the others fat up. A receiver
is next of kin to a business man's rela-
tives, and after they are all nicely set-
tl'd in the office -they’re not long in
finding a job for him there too. I
want you to get this firmly fixed In
days and presiding over the Sabbath
school Sundays for tweuty years and
leaving the old man short n hundred
thousand and the Tittle ones Short a
superintendent during the twenty-first
year. *
if? right to punish these fellows,

against their employers. Criminal

carelessness that makes criminals is
worse. The chances are that, to start

Carbon District Union.
The District Union met at
Long Branch last Saturday and
the day was very pretty for
plowing but a tolerable good de-
legation was present. A very
interesting and harmonious
meeting was held. A fine dinner
was served on the ground and
the day was very pleasent
for all. The next meeting will
be at High Point, a few miles
northwest of Carbon.

They believe that money ought to go to

lieve that It ought to go to the office

Now tlint you are a boss you will
find that every other man who comes
to your desk Is going to ask you for
something; In fact, the difference be-
tween being n sub and a boss is large-
ly a matter of asking for tilings and
of being asked for tilings. But It’s
just, as one of those poets sald -you
can't afford to burn down the glue
factory to stimulate the demand for
glue stock, or words to tlxat effect.
Of eJursc I don't mean by this that
I want you to lie one of those fellows
who swell out like a ready made shirt
mid’ brag that they "never borrow and
never lend.” They always think that
tills shows that they are sound, con-
servative business men. but ns n mat-
ter of fact it simply stamps them as
mighty mean little cusses It’s very
superior, 1 know, to say tlint you nev.-
er borrow, but most men liuve to -it
one time or another, and then thev
find that the never-borrow-never lend
platform Is a mighty inconvenient one
to lie stajiding on. Be Just in business
and generous out of It. A fellow’s
generosity liei-ds a heap of exercise to
keep it in good 'condition, and the
hand that writes out checks gets
crumped easier than the hand tln't
takes them in You want to keep
them both limber.
While 1 don't believe In giving with
c siring tli-il to every dollar or doing
up a gift in so many conditions that
the present Is lost in ttie wrappings,
it’s a good idea not to let most people
feel that money can be bad for the
asking.. If you do. they’re apt to go
into the asking business for a living.
But those millionaires who give away
a hundred thousand or so with thp tin
derstandlng that the other fellow will
raise another hundred thousand or so
always remind me of a lot-of boys
coaxing a dog into their yard with u
hunk of went so that they can tie a
tin can to Ids tall.
