T seems that some people, having assumed I that th pretty girl Is given preference that th pretty girl Is given preference by the average employer, are wondering what become tjf th girl who Is not only 1 - - plain but no longer young, and who does not marry. ' . " ".. ,' '. In th first plac It la a wrong supposition that th pretty girt Is generally preferred; many business men, young one, also, who ar supposed to be quit Impressionable, re fuse to hlr pretty girls, claiming that they do not tak tbe reaDy active Interest In their, work that pterin one do, and make leaa set Isfactory employe. They hav a theory that , the pretty girl's mind must be on her curls and her dimples and th. admiration ah elicit from the mat halt of th population. ' : Naturally, If such were th cas. sh would not give aa good service as her homely alstsr, and business men tb successful ones ar running- their businesses primarily for th purpose ot making money. Therefore, they but to get the moat work- la return for tbe , amouat of money Invested. Th plain girl Is not discriminated against excepting by a class of employer that It would not be to her credit to plea. J ' . "But what become of th old girl .1 i a & - . i , - . r - from which be gradually worked himself up la Bocnt's employment. "I oould hardly keep from ahaklneT hand with him when ha refused to ahovel tba now," Bonnet explained. M You could tell he wasn't afraid of work, but what h wanted waa real work. He wanted to ae the chips fly. Ton couldn't set htm to pounding a : log with the blunt end of the ax." . " ' , GraiaAUt Fin4 Good flaccs. ' Bonnett, la spit of his seeming retirement : from active business, held the guiding string " over a number of large Industries, and be " caua of 'thia he vu able to carry out his good wishes towards Impecunious humanity, i He had ahaep ranges In Wyoming and lum ' her Industries in Wlaeonaln. He had a few oil walla la Texas and farm land la Illinois. unois.

He merely concluded that h had been mistaken and that h had put th maa at th wrong work. . One a man whom he had sat ahovellng . th snow was found sitting on th curbstone, looking meditatively at th drift. Bonnett walked paat him a couple of times, coughed gently, and tb maa arose languidly and started shoveling, still more languidly. Then " he subsided again and was found sitting on th curb, meditating mor deeply. Bonnett tried a second time gently to attmulat him to energy, but It waa only temporary. Now, what do think of thatr Bonnett asked, seemingly puxsled. " There must be something In that man, but It's hidden pretty well. Beems Just to want to sit and watchthlngs. Most any man will keep mov ing In the snow, but be just want to sit down . and look at th scenery. I'll employ him a couple mor' day and see what develops." At th end of th two day th man' chief characteristic stilt waa hla dealr to sit on tb curb, working only at rar Intervals. " But I'v found him out," said Bonnett " That man's th fellow for a sheep ranch. By George, there lot ot man who couldn't b hired to do th lonely work of herding. There' a fallow who will glory in the work. I'll send him out to Wyoming." - The man waa taken off the snowbank and I hav not heard that he proved a faUur as a sheep maa. tails hav not been completed. It Is a working marvel : Today Chicago has' the distinction of being th only city in th land wher a great and Important feature of Us postal work Is done by machinery In place of by human mind and muscle. - -.- . TVT A S' Jy afraVs Jl who do not marryT" This la readily answered by a little Insight Into human nature" and the laws of living. Jt Is certainly true that people- get what they go after In this world, to a. certain ex tent They may not reap In full meaaur that which they sow, but there I alway a partial crop, at least, and moat assuredly they do net reep that which they do not sow. A gtrl who haa matrimony In mind whether pretty or plain, for the plain girt marries quit aa readily as th pretty one dresse with greater care, epende ber aalary on be coming clothe, lives only In the.thought ot some man some day assuming th burden ot her future, and, as she Is on the lookout for a husband, sh naturally flnda one.

Naturally tb Inventor himself will hav no witnesses whoa he oaa bring la testimony, while th akulker will have mad sur oa tbl point aad la any possible contest will be abl to leave tb In vent or hopelessly without S leg to aland on. Tb antithesis of this procedure Is th logical course of tb Inventor who seeks to make his position secure.' He should have some friends la whom he caa place reliance.

Tbe material was put on tbe market and It merit war advertised aad pushed vigorously. But there were difficulties In. tbe way. Machine shops, locomotives, steamboat, and steam plants generally were to profit by the innovation. But the exploiters of the mate rial ran against tb " graft " proportion la ' discouraging frequency.
