A test is being made in Chicago to ascertain srfterhvr nen of 45 to 5 if older are as competent as younger men to perform t'-e business duties of tife. It is fathered by Benjarn.n J, Roscntheal. a capitalist of Chic:.go. The committee was orciM teal pri marily, to upset the EaBaio-a theory that men between the ies ri 4 anl 65 are fit for the scrrp help. In response to a'ivermcmctits in the newspapers, seieral hundred ap plications for work fro; x men who had reached midd'c ae .r I evond have been received bv the comtr.ittee and a large force of - lerl s. loaned by business houses began to sift and classify them. "We will start our first test next week." said Mr. Rosenthal. "Twemy middleaged men whom wc h.ive en listed wiil be employed by one of the largest houses in Chicago. Hi; head of this house, to make an ef"ciemv test, will put them in the corr.-;ond-ence department. Along side of them will be twenty young men and each individual will be given the same work to do. They will open, sort anj file correspondence and do auditing work. "If these twenty middle awe J men do half as much work as the yonnire men. they will be paid half as much salary. If their efficiency is emial tc the younger men and they prove it. they will receive the same salary. "Recently I took a score f r.icn and put them to wrapping parcels in a large concern. Trey were all ex perienced and so wtre the tacnty young men who wiapped beside them. Not only did the i.'der men d as much work as the -ounger men, hut in some instances more." CARELESSNESS The following scat oafby the Sou thern Pacific Co . ;-, attracted a ood dia( of attention. It is a wood one on a very important ssbfegf! ; lu more pow n'. than the O Bt 1t. tr armies oi th. world. I have de stroy more m. I tiian all the wars of -l.e rai(ns, 1 ..-n nscie deadly than bullet-. ai'd I have wrecked m"re homes, than the mightiest siege guns. I steal, in the United States alone, more than $500,000,000. each year. I spare no one. and I find my victims among the rich and the poor alike, the your.g and old, the strong and wra'. widows and orphans know- me. I loom to such proportions that I cast my shadow over every field of labor, from th-.- turning of the grindstone 'o the Bsoyisg of every railroad train. I massacre thousands of wage earners in a year, I lurk in unseen places and do most of my work silently. You are warned against me. but you heel nc I am relentless. I am everywhere in the home, on the s.reets in the fac tory, at railroad crossings and on the sea. I bring sickness, degradation and death, yet few seek to avoid me, 1 destroy, crush or maim. I give noth ing, nothing, but take all. I am your worst enemy I am "CARELESSS-NESS." WANT PAPER MONEY A movement is on foot by banks to secure more paper money for the Pacific coast. Here we know little of anything but gold and silver, our business being done almost entirely with hard money. In the east paper money is used almost entirely, except for small change At a meeting of the bankers of the division the - subject was considered and plans were started to change the system. It is declared that so much gold and silver is cumb ersome, which is a fact. Ful'ND A purse containing some money.

At Thompson Falls, Mon , a woman has been comicted for killing a poli tician. Justice may well hang her head. The woman had been sent to do the work some man lacked the nerve to perform She was abused by the poli tician and fired, as she says she had been told to do by the editor of the apaper. who declared that it would make a good front page story, which it did. Just now the name of George is up permost in the world. Recently a New York congressman leclared that one farmer is worth a hundred lawyers. That ought to re elect him. gain the world Rritish isn't seen very much on the firing line. The French have been doing most of the work, while Ureal Britain endeavors to do the bossing. Poor Roumania. she simply jumped into the fire. Strange how the Teutons keep bringing up the reserves, while the allies fall back upon each other.

Bears Albany Scio Tribune; Our city hall, judging from outside appearance. needs a good stout man to lean against A small amount of money would save the building, oth erwise a good heavy wind will muss things up considerable. It Kicked Backwards Recently a merchant of Natch.- happened to see a farmer receive a box at the depot and noticed that it came from a mail order house. He also noticed that the goods were right in his line and the same as he had carried for years. He immediately approached the farmer and said: "I could have sold you the g. ods you have here for icss money than the Chicago house and saved you the freight." "Then why don't you do so? said the farmer. "I have tabcti the local paper for a year a a I have no; seer i line abou. you selling thsc or any other goods. This r ail order haste sends advertising matter to me ask ing for my trade, ar.d they got it. If you have any bargains w- don't yoi. put them in the pap.-r so we can sec what they are.' ;vch jn ENGRAVED GREETING CARDS For Chriitrnas and New Year.
