The Pool and Our Forest Dollars.
By E. T. Allen.
Uoodby to the fool with the empty gun;
Forgotten his bid for fame.
Though he kills his friend, it only
counts one,
And that, nowadays, is tame.
The fool who playfully rocks the boat
Is on the front page no more.
He may rank high with the fools afloat
But his glory is gone ashore.
There’s the fool with women, the fool
with wine,
And the fool who games w ith strangers,
And the joy ride fool (he does well in
his line
By combining these ancient dangers.)
But they're all still down in the primer
class,
Mere novices taking a flyer.
Compared with the prize taking crimi
nal ass,
The fool in the woods with fire.
A few hearts break for the deeds
they've done
In their pitiful amateur way,
But fire slays dozens where they slay
one
And scourges a state in a day.
For the ruined home and the smokeless
stack,
And the worker unemployed.
Know a hundred years shall never bring
back
The things that his match destroyed.

pupils: “ What are you doing and what
are you going to d o t ”
The answer to the first question
probably will be:
“ Preparing and educating ourselves
for our life work.”
Very laudable endeavor, certainly,
but are pupils really doing what their
answer indicates that they are and
when they leave school will they be
able to earn a livingf
Richard Crane, a Chicago manufae
turer, a man experienced in receiving
from the schools as workers in his
shops, pupils who have presumably pre
pared themselves for their life work,
a few years ago said that he found them
entirely unprepared for the work. It
was mostly his suggestion that resulted
in the establishment o f industrial trade
schools in Chicago.
What the schools are doing in pre
paring young men and young women of
the country for their future work should
not be underestimated. It is a great
work that they are doing, but boys and
girls will find that the education which
they get from text books alone, im
portant as it is, is not sufficient, nor
efficient— that it by no means com
pletely prepares them for their work.
They will find, if they let their educa
tion stop there, that jobs will not come
to them as readily as to their less edu
cated brother who has prepared himself
in a different way— the way o f experi
ence.
Too many have the mistaken idea
that text book education is all the ad
vance preparation that need be made
for a life work.

At Stanford, Iowa, a bank has been

M ABBIE'S CHANCE
o
NCE upon u time there was a
very ambitious mother who hud
one child— a beautiful daughter,
just blooming into womanhood. She
was the apple of her mother's eye and
an endless drain on d a d ’s pocket book
for clothes that were brief and costly.
They were cut low at the neek ami high
nt the bottom and of so flimsy a tex
ture that x rays were not necessary to
see the divine form and limbs. She was
a leader in society, us her mamma
wanted her to make a great catch. But
it happened iu the little city that there
were no catches. Most o f the young
bloods were also looking for great
catches, for their only qualifications
were to talk basket bull, lawn tennis
and smoke “ cigarootes” and ask their
daddies for a quarter. One day a
stranger dropped into the little city.
He was garbed in a $4.14 palm bench
suit with white canvas shoes, a red tic
and a package o f imported cigurootis
guaranteed to kill at forty yard range.
He was the advance guard o f a mg
orporation that was looking for n In
cation. Society took him up and eir
ried bint around like a Greek god. It
was not a week before he had everv
body believing that he was the presi
dent's son and mamma decided that
‘ M abbie’s ” chance had come. A swell
ball was arranged and society- turned
out in all its glory and briefness of
garb, which would not have been op
pressive in August where Satan holdeth
sway. It was the swellest afair ever
held, was the report. Dad sat in the
corner, accompanied by a bronze faced
young man who was recognized ns the
best grocery clerk in the city, whose
salary was $75 per month and who
owned several small sharks and a bank
account, which be hud saved from his
salary. The young man and dad did n ’t
dance— they were not expected to—
they were too awkward and clumsv.
The stranger had heard, which was not
true, that “ M abbie’s ” old man w.is
lousy” with coin, so he set up to h<—
ike u sick duck to u dough ball. The
next day their engagement was an
nounced by mamma and dad was noti
fied he must arrange to pull o f f the
greatest wedding ever. He dug up all
he could and borrowed the rest and be
fore the big corporation was establish -d
they were married, and back from their
bridal tour and “ at home” to their
friends with daddie. And then it was
announced that the grocery clerk and
Melvina Ann Tobaseo, the milliner, had
gone to another town and been quietly-
married and were back at work Mon
day morning. And then “ mummer”
got the shock o f her life; “ Mnbbie”
lost all interest in flossie clothes and
dad cussed in high G in seven different
kinds of languages— the big corpora
tion the stranger represented was a
branch milk station that paid the
stranger a commission on whnt he
bought.— F. M. Minor, in Times, Louisi
ana, Mo.
T I.S ALMOST pathetic to see a
young man or woman finish col
lege at 25 or so and find him
self or herself unable tq earn a living.
It is galling to him or her to have to
start learning a trade at from *3 to
$7 a week or a little better at n tim>
o f life when others o f like age are
supporting families. The writer is not
writing o f what he has heard. He is
writing o f what he knows. He has
seen college graduates working on sec
tion crews at u dollar a day, and any
pupil is likely to go up against the
same kind of a proposition if not pr.-
pared against it. Only a small propor
tion of college men are in the business
vorld today and most o f these who are
are no further ahead than other men
who have not had such educational ad
vantages.
Young men and young women should
begin preparing for their life work
while they are young. Things are
easier learned then. Then, too, at that
age, it is not a serious matter if a
young man or woman finds that he or
she has started to learn a trade to
which he or she is not adapted and
w-ants to make a change. After one
reaches 25 or 30 it is a serious thing to
waste a year or so trying to learn some
trade at which he or she can not suc
ceed.
It may take some ambition and per
severance to do these things and it may
require the giving up of pleasures once
in awhile, but it a not such an irksome
thing to do. An hour or so a day and
a few hours on Saturday is sufficient
and the young man and young woman
with a desire to be someone and to
amount to something will find his or
her fight for a -position in the world
greatly advanced by preparation now,
during the time they are allowing to
go to waste.
D on't say that this is too much o f a
task. You will not have to do one-half
nor one-third as much as many o f the
great men o f the country have done be
fore you.
Look at Lincoln, who studied his
problems by the light o f a burning em

the day was done. It will never be as
