'V "1311 Asuuau vv v..__-o, senger boy at Pit sburg he says his only dread was that he would be dismissed because he did not know the city. But he went to work and learn- ed each business place on the principal streets until he was able to name them in order one after the other and his mind was at rest. Mr. Carnegie is now worth millions of dollars, and yet he was once a simâ€" ple, plain messenger boy for a teleâ€" graph Go. To tell of his rise in life 18 only a repetition of the old, old story. As a messenger boy he did his work right, and the practice formed in youth lowed him to the end of the chapter. ‘VJuI. “ In, "J - v , , rising to manhood, but how many there are who never think of making themselves an essential part of the business when enga ed in menial ser- vice at a small wee 1y salary. Yet this is the time when the foundation for future success is unquestionably established. Let us look at this from a geractical standpoint, We have now ing de- veloped right here in Durham one of the most important industries perhaps in the Dominion of Canada. \Ve have reference to the Cement Works. The -onstruction is controlled by individu- als who are not going round with their eyes shut, and there isn’tayoung man engaged there that isn’t sized up by those having charge of the different departments. The young man or the boy who is there merely to put in time, will not he wanted after the construc- tion work is done, if indeed he doesn’t get his discharge some morning when he’s not looking for it. There are others again who are careful in every detail; whose whole. desire is to do the very best they can for the interests of their employers, and who are. not waiting anxiously to catch the first sound of the whistle. announcing that it’s time to quit. These are the boys whose. services will he prolonged in case their services are required. A (H treful, industrious, truthful, en- eigetic boy can hardly fail to become a careful, industrious,t ruthtul and en- ervetic man, and these are the kind of men that are wanted to-day 1n all the avocations of life. This being the case and we know it is, ~every lad setting out in life has it in his own hands to make a good, honest living or to de- velop into a chat a1ter that will help to swell the great army 01 tramps.

It’s just as rational to think of keeping an honest, indus- tiious and energetic 1111111 in the lower ranks of life as 1t is to keep water from seeking its own level. Dalaguete, Cebu, P. I. September 25th, 1902. MY DEAR Sls'rEns :--Your letters of 1 June 25th arrived in Dalaguete on the launch Philadelphia the night before last, so you will see I am wasting no time in answering them. Your news of Durham was very in- teresting, and I hope you will continue to write so long as 1 am over here. News is very scarce here and also un- interesting to you. You must remem- ber this is a practically new country, not yet opened up, and above a de- scn’ption of the country which I have tried to give you several times, very little can be said. A summary of the whole Urient may be made by saying â€"â€"-sandy, mountainous countr ’; nipa houses; very hot, and in nine cases out of ten the description will fit all the countries and cities from here to Egppt. \V’e hzwehase-hail outfit, a punching bag. boxing gloves, foot-ball and a hand-hall so you can see we are not so haul oif as you might think. Of course it is nearly always too hot to use them, but once in a while it cools 01f a little, and we dig in for lost time. It takes just about ten minutes to get thorough- 1y sweateil up, then we go slow and | cool off grauually, so we wont takei cold. After this comes a good bath, 1 and we have one. of the handiest bath’ houses on the island. “’8 have it in the quarters and a person can take his clothes off at his bunk and have no ; jumping around getting them on ain [ we have too, a line salt water bat ing ' hole at the beach. Being situated on lthe southern point of the island, the ;channel current carries all the refuse : away, leaving a good clean, clear beach to swim in. l‘he water is so clear that g i honestly believe you can see the bot- ; tom when it is forty feet dee . Qn ‘ that bottom can be wen star- h and 3 shells; also you can see some 'elly-flsh. g I got a shock from one of t ose one 5 time while pulling him into a boat.

But do not let anyone mislead you regarding the sea-horse. I was of the impression (when I was young) that sea-horses were very large. They are not, but very small, not above four inches at the most in length and that 18 longer than I have ever seen them. In San Nicolas I used to catch them, but they won’t livein fresh water, or salt either, except in the ocean. At least I couldn’t keep them. the Spanish ' military authorities around the island. They are built of stone, the kind of honey combed stone found in the bottom of the ocean, and where formerly occupied by the Span- ish soldiery. I don’t know as a person could admire them, in any way what- ever, as to neatness, cleanliness or any other quality. The roof is of nipa, and is constantly sendin down showers of dirt, but we are use to this thing now and What would shock one of you is high living for me at the present time. The floor is of lumber and the cracks between the boards vary from one-half to one inch. If you are sweeping out, 11 stairs, woe betide any person below. ou can sweep the building out twenty times a day and it would still be thoroughly filthy. The floor down stairs is flagstone and about the worst imaginable. Behind the building is a stone wall about 15 feet high with pieces of broken glass stuck .in the top L() CUB “ll, PULOUII |Itl vv --v __ 1t. Then comes the guard house used by the S aniards.

The building is practically a fort, in the shape of a “ cuartel.” We have our rat-ions, bath 1 house and in case of necessity, our water supply situated inside, . and can very nicely stand a siege, till relief comes. The natives around here are a fairly well educated lot, professing friendli- ness to American Government, but the latter is uncertain. They are expert gold workers and do all kinds of fancy work in the shape of rings and pins. They are beginning to wear shoes and it is comical to watch one of them trying to wall; for the first time in them. Their schools are the most peculiar of all. No seats, desks or anything else, and a person approaching them would think in ' a moment a free-for-all fight was going. All yell at their loudest, trying to surpass the rest of the gang, and how theylearn anything is a 'mVS- tery to me. . Every family has two or three dogs and about ten o’eloek they (the dogs not the families) assemble at various 2 points throughout the towns and hold musical revivals. Parrots, monkeys, eats, pigs. (logs, cows and caribou all live in the same house, or as near to one place as they can get. The peo- ple make a living by fishing and hemp raising, and a very poor one it is. The Uhinos, (Chi-namen) Padres, (priests) and I’residentes (mayors) have all the money and see-saw these people. out of everything they own. The peo}_)le are so scared of the last two that they don’t know what to make of the sol- ;diers. \Ve go out to buy goats and when we ask the natives for them they tell us they belong to “ Senor Presid- ente.” They seem astonished when some one says “ To hâ€"â€"l with the Presidente,” and marches off with the goats. ‘J There are several Chino stores in the I town and a soldier 'an buy anythingi he wants on credit. I owe one Chino i eighteen pecos (nine dollars) and every = time l get anything off of him I telli him I’m not going to pay him a cent. ! He is scared to shut me off and refuse l me any more, for then he knows I l wouldn’t. Of course I will pay him, i but I intend to have some fun with 1 him before doing so. That’s all we' have to do here. This is just the country for me, and the one 1 was looking for for some I time. I was always fond of fruits and l here we have the banana, lemon, Fil-. ipino apples, Spanish pears, gum" ., pomegranite, mango, sinco, taribou, cocoanuts, plantains, peanuts, pine- . apples and in fact any kind of tropical l fruits to be thought of. We pay {1 l cent for cocoanuts, 1% cents for pine-g apples, as many bananas as you can: carry for 5 cents and a like proportion ,for other stuff. The doctors told us not to eat any of the “ native fruit” for it would make us sick. I have gorged myself with it for over two ears and haven’t been sick from it yet. ut perha ' I make your mouths wat- er talkinglibke this. but then just think of the time I am having and forget about it. Don’t you WlSh you were down here yourse ves to enjoy it for a month or two? I hope you got over your vaccination all right, Rita, but don’t get scared of the small- x, for we have on an aver- age two undred cases here all the time, and yet none of ps are scared. - -IJ2-__ .‘l’ "5“- J ‘7 ' Of course you know, I am a soldier and supposed to (lie. so it is just my duty to look brave.
