Mrs. Palm and family were employed in
the house at the time, and wimp the men
working on tlie mill near by, first noticed
the fire the whole upper part of the
building seemed to be burning. Very
little waa saved after the family got out,
owing to the rapidity of the conflagra
tion, jotin nas neon working to iret til
mill rebuilt, after it destruction by fire
last winter, and the lot of hi house i
a very srioua drawback and eore disap
pointment to him. Ui couraue and
good nature, however, will help him
through until the luck torn and the
pendulum swings the other way.

HAVE A PUBPONE.
What la Worth Doing at all I Worth
Mclng Done Well,
It Is a difficult UiatUr to liiipitstf upon
young men the necessity of doing thing
well. A pervou of average reliulillily
maybe depended npon to do his best
on what appear to be an important
piece of work, but there are compara
tively few who do their best no matter
whethur tha wort ia great or small,
"That's good enough," is a very common
expression even though it reflect upon
the person who use it, for it implies
th ability to do better but. the lack of
energy to do It, To illustrate the
neeeaity of doing thing well the
Maritime Merchant tells tha story ol a
young coiloge student Who went out to
urvey a section of oonntry about fifty
mile long and thirty miles wido, which
wa rocky and barren and traversable
nnlv on toot. To all anneurance the
lanil was absolutely worthless and never
would be inhabited but the student did
hla wnrlr and did it well. A number of
year later gold was discovered in that
tract of land and expert surveyors were
sent out to make the most aocorate sur
veys that can be made as the variation
of the line but a sliirht amount meant
fortunes to the men who owned tne
land. They completed their work and
announced that the line aa previously
drawn : were absolutely correct The
identity of the original surveyor was
then looked into and it waa found that
he lout mmn to he the foremost sciun
list in the country. The conclusion is
that it nav to do mint's wen not omy
for the aake ot the work but for the
effect it ha upon establishing habit and
the build nv ot cnaracter. J.ne omy
way for young man to get to the front
1 for bim to show that he ia better
flttMt for advancement than his associa
te. The individual who ia continually
saving "that' good enough" ia not the
kind that develops characteristics which
adapt him for taking the lead and di
recting the work ot others, ine roan
who cultivate the habit of doing the
beet work possible will never be found
shirking or allowing others under mm
to alight their duty.

regard to the poor unlucky editor of a
country newspaper: "The editor of a

10 gei anyimng mtu m ynt v.,v
pie do not like. He ought to know just
what would suit each individual, or he
should take each item before it 1 pub
lished and let person whom it concern
censor it. The editor ha plenty of time
to do all this, ail be has to do is to hum
uo newa and clean' rollers, set type,
clean the floor, pen abort items, hustle
advertising, fold papers and write wrap
pers, male paste ana man tno papc,
talk to visitor and distribute type,
carry and read proof and correct mis
takes, hunt the shear to clip article
with, dodge the bill and dun the delin
quent and take the cussing and tell the
subscriber he need money. An editor
has no businea to make mistake wnen
attending to little trifles like these, and
live on oxtail flavored with imagination,
wearing old shoes and no collar, patch
on the equator oi his trousers, at the
aametlme turn a smiling countenance
