When I told you that I Wished you to get a liberal education, I didn't mean that I wanted to buy Cambridge. Of course. the bills won’t break me, but they will break you unless you are very, very care- ful. I have noticed for the last two years that your accounts have been growing heavier every month, but I havn’t seen any signs of your tak- ing honors to justify the increased operating expenses; and that is bad businessâ€"a. good deal like feeding his weight in corn to a scalawag steer that won’t fat up. I haven’t said anything about this before, as I trusted a good deal to your native commonâ€"sense to.keep you from making a fool of yourself in the way that some of these young fellows who haven't had to work hard for it do. But because I have kept silent, I don’t want you to get it into your head that the old man’s rich, and that he can stand it, be- cause he won't stand it after you leave college. The sooner you ad- just your spending to what .your earning capacity will be, the easier they will find it to live together. The only sure way that a man can get rich quick is to have it given to him or to inherit it. You are not going to get rich that wayâ€"at least, not until af’wr youuhgve proven your t’ *.--.. a 1 l ty to hold a pretty important position with the firm: and, of course, there is just one place from which a man can startlfor that pos- ition with Graham Co. It doesn’t make any difference whether he is the son of the old man or of the cellar bossâ€"that place is the bottom. And the bottom in the of- fice end of this business is a seat at the mailing desk, dxth eight dollars every Saturday night. I can’t hand out any ready-made success to you. It would do you no good, and it would do.the house harm. There is plenty of room at the top here, but there is no elevator in the building. Starting, as you do, with a good education, you should be able to climb quicker than the fellow who hasn’t got it; but there’s going to be a time when you begin at the factory when you won’t be able to lick stamps so fast as the other boys at the desk. I Yet the man who hasn't licked stamps isn’t fit to write letters. Naturally that is the time when knowing whether the pie comes before the ice cream, and how to run an automobile isn’t going to be of any real use to you. I simply mention these things be- cause I am afraid your ideas as to the basis on which you are coming with the house have swelled up a little in the east. I can give you a start, but after that you will have to dynamite your way to the front by yourself. It is all with the man. If you gave some fellow a talent wrapped in a napkin to start with in business; they would swap the talent for a gold brick and lose the napkin: and there are others that you could start out with just a napkin who would set up with it in the dry- goods business in a small way and than coax the other fellow’s talent into it. I have pride enough to believe that you have the right sort of stuff in you, but I want to see some of it come out. You will never make a good merchant of yourself by revers-q ing the order in which the Lord deâ€" creed that we should proceedâ€"learn- ing the spending before the earning end of business. Pay day is always a. month off for the spendthriit, and he is never able to realize more than SiXty cents on any dollar that comes to him But a. dollar is worth one hundred and sixty cents to a. good rbusinm man, and he never spends the dollar. It is the man who keeps saving 11p and expenses down that buys an interest in the concern. That is Where you are going to find your- self weak if your expense accounts don’t lie; and they generally don't lie in that particular way, although Baron Munchauscn was the first travelling man, and my drummers’ bills still show his influence. You know how I beganâ€"I was started ofi with a kick, but that was a. kick up, and in the end every one sizice has lifted me a. little bit highâ€" er. I got two dollars a. week, ‘and slept under the counter, and-you can bet I knew just how many pennies there were in each of those dollars and how hard the floor was. That is what you have got to learn. I know that when a. lot of young men get of! by themselves some of them think that recklessness with money brands them as good fellows, and that carefulness is meanness. That is the one end of agcollege edu- cation that is pure cussedness; and that is the one thing that makes nine business men out of ten hesitate to send their boys off to school. But on the other hand, that is the spot where a young man has the chance to show that he is not a lightweight. I know that a good many people say that I am a pretty close old proposi- tion; that I make every hog that goes through my packing-house give up more lard than the Lord gave him gross weight; that I have improved on nature to the extent of getting four hams out of an animal that be- gan life with two: but you have liv- ed With me long enough to know that my hand is usually in my pock- etat the right time. Now I want to say right here that the meanest man alive is the one who is generous with money that he has not had to sweat for, and that the boy who is a, good fellow at some one else’s expense would not work up into first-class fertilizer. That same ambition to be known as a. good fellow has crowded my office with second rate clerks, and they will always be second rate clerks. If you have it hold it, hold it down un- til you have worked for a year. Then, if your ambition runs to hunching up all week over a desk,~to earn eight dollars to blow on a few rounds of drinks for the boys on Saturday night, there is no objection to your gratifying it; for I will know that the Lord didn’t intend you to be your own boss. I remember when I was on the Lakes, our schooner was. passing out through the draw at, Dufl’alo when I saw little Bill Riggs, the butcher, standing up above me on the end of the bridge with a. big roast of beef in his basket. They were a little short in the galley on that trip, so I called to Bill and he threw the roast down to me. I asked him how much, and he called back, "about a dollar.” That was mighty good beef, and when we struck Buf- falo again on the return trip I thought I would like a little more of it. So I went up to Bill’s shop and asked him for a piece of the same. But this time he gave me a little roast, not near so big as the other, and it was pretty tough and stringy. But when I asked him how much, he answered “about a dollar." He sim- ply didn’t have any sense of values, and that's the business man’s sixth sense. Bill has always been a. big, healthy. hard-working man, but to- day he is very, very poor. The Bills ain’t all in the butcher The Bills ain’t all in the butcher business. I’ve got some of them right now in my office, but they will never climb over the railing that separates the clerks from the execu- tives, Yet if they would put in half the time thinking for the house that they give up to hatching out reasons why they ought to be allowed to over draw their salary accounts, I couldn’t keep them out of our priâ€" vate offices with a pole-axe, and I wouldn’t want to; for they could doubletheir salaries and my profits in a year. But I always lay it down as avsaio proposition that the fellow who has to break open the baby’s bank for car-fare toward the last of the week isn’t going to be any Rus- sel Sage when it comes to trading with the old man’s money. He’d punch my bank account as full‘ of holes as a carload of wild Texans ‘a fool stockman that they'd got in a corner. Now I know that you’ll say that was a. boy. 'There's nothing in it. Adam invented all the different ways Now I know that you’ll say that I don’t understand how it is; that you’ve got to do as other fellows do, and that things have changed since I in which the young man can make a fool of himself, and the college yell at the end of them is just a. frill that doesn’t change essentials.

You never saw a steer that looked as if he took less interest in things.

Teaching Domestic Science 'In order to bring the merits of doâ€" inestic science and art instruction more intelligently beforethe public, Hon. Richard Harcourt, Minister of Education, has planned a new scheme of practical demonstration. Mr. Har- court. hopes to be able to sent an experienced lady teacher of these sub- jects to towns and other localities, the school boards of which contem- plate the introduction of those new subjects. The lady who is sent would during, say a whoie week, give practical demonstrations of the lessons ordinarily given in domestic science and art schools. In other words, she would, in the presence of a. class, and probably their parents, give a. practiral lesson in cooking at. one time and in some branch of sew- ing at another time. It is thought that lessons of this kind will do much to convince boards of trustees and the public generally of the great importance of these subjects, and that the result will be their intro- duction into our most important. schools in the near future. Lord Kitchener’s Proclamation. No one can find fault with Lord Kitchener-’8 proclaimation with re- gard to the guerilla bands which are protracting hostilities in South Afri- ca. No other nation ever took care, as the British have done, of the fam- ilies of their enemies, thereby enabâ€" ling the men who would otherwise have to look after them and earn a. living for them to continue in the field, shooting every Englishman they can see. and even threatening the Kaflirs. Any other power would have left them to support their own families, and, let us hope, most of them would have regarded these as having a. first. claim upon their en- deavors. All that Lord Kitchener has ,done has been to make known first that all leaders who' continue in the field after a. given date will be ._ -- A_ ‘3 .lu uuo Lav-\- w--- w regarded as irreconcilable enemies of peace and permanently banished from South Africa. when captured; and sec- ond, that the keep of the families of men still in the field will henceforth be charged up' against those men-and distrained upon any property they may. possess“, thus bringing their farms, 'if they have any, into the hands of the government, to be set- teled. bx loyal men. imw Your afiectionate father, JOHN GRAHAM. tuntry" in the market re- he city’s full of him.
