THE MAN AT .A.] i Have Sometliin? Atlauta Co Aro you workiDg for some big com pany? Do you get discouraged? Do you feel that you aro underpaid; that your efforts are unappreciated; that your work is too burdensome; your hours too long, and your position not abreast with your ability? Perhaps you are envious of what you oall the "gqod luck" of tho heads of depart ments, or of tho man who controls the entire business. You seo your em ployer rido to tho store in tho morn ing and step out of a handsomely ap pointed carriage, ora four-cylindered auto, and say to yourself: "If I had his money and his position 1 would bo happy." But you arc a good worker and an honest worker, and in a fow minutes you dismiss your pessimistio thoughts and sro earnestly at work contributing yot>.r share toward the upbuilding of your employer's busi ness. And, like every man who suc ceeds, we hope you do moro than you are psid to do, for then when your day's work ends you are light-hearted in the joy of a duty more than dis charged. You start home tired, but with a clear conscience, and with no responsibility left unsolved. As you step out the door into the autumn air you suddenly reoali that you didn't see your employer leave.' You glance at your watch and note that your oar is due, sod that you will get home just in time for supper. "You dismiss all thoughts of work from your mind aa yon head home ward; bat that mental prooess on your psrt dooo not lighten the load that your employer lingers under. Just glanoe st him : When he went to MB breakfast that morning he read his morning paper. His eye was attrsoted to the first-page story of the failure in a neighboring Stale of a national bank in whioh one of his biggest customers is a director, whose deposits were in that back, and whojmust help bear sny difference be tween assets and Habilites. This means a delsy on the part of his cus tomer in meeting his accounts; it may involve an untimely request for ex tension of oredit on the part of your employer. Would you bo worried if you were in his plaoe? On an inside pago there greets him a th .?e-lino item of a freight wreck in which three esr loads o?

At the offioo the heads of the de partments have filled his desk with complaints, recommendations and sug gestions. There may bo among the papers the resignation of bis moat popular and ???u?t competent traveling man, who is not dissatisfied; but is simply going into business for him self, The inebriety of a maa who is AH RunDown nHiS is a common expres sion we hear on every : side.

SCOnXB?VVNE THE HEAD. r to be Thankful I^or.lj nstitution. invaluable nobor must bo met with dismissal. Thero are a score of snarls and tangles that must be settled quickly and fairly that the serenity of tho business may bo undisturbed. Would ali this disturb you and put a look of caro on your countenance? You would advise with your heads of departments, auk them for their ad vioo, plan with them, that is your suggestion to your employer. Very well; you know human nature. Havo you never said to a oo-worker that this head of department is play ing for a favorite's place, or that one is obsequiously in accord with every Buggestion of tho employer whether tho idea is good or bad? Where do you think your employer 6tands? He is isolated. Doubt hovers over him frequently, for he can never know just how much sincerity a man is display i ag, nor how muoh a man's view is warped by the desire to agree with "tho boas." If ho asks an opinion, do not the men often seek to figure out what they think he wishes them to say. Seldom does he eooounter a man of strong enough will to venture to make a bold stand io opposition to his employer's ideas, and point out dangora that lie ahead. So the employer must rely to the greater extent upon his own judg ment. He must move surely yet swiftly. He has tho entire business to provide for. At. times ho may seem harsh in a ruling, cold blooded in a dismissal. His firmness and his ability-his continuance of hard-won suooesB-means a preserving of the oompany, projecting a bigger business and, not altogether incidentally, pro viding the means of a livelihood for you and hundreds of others. When he postedan order inoreaeing or !? rios 50 cents per week, you per haps thought it pioayunish. But you did not stop to think that 500 times 50 cents is $250 per week, or nearly $15,000 por year. But this i? not a sermon against suc cess. It is merely a suggestion that all of ?B havo something to be thank ful for, and that if some around us have greater and moro pleasures, that perhaps thoy have greater and more worries, and are therefore, no hap pier. He suooeeds boat who wino success without suoGUtubiug io ex??BB, wheth er it bo satiety in pleasures, or single* mindedness in business. For in the former HOB the danger of dissipation, and io the latter dull ewe larks, Every man should strive to suueued,' but he is slipping swiftly backward when hie euergy is released in com plaining, and his genius is diverted into developing ways of avoiding Work. Be whole-hearted and wholesome irr your labors, and when success crowns your efforts, you will bo able to find joy in your work, and happiness ita your enjoyments. The Hoad to Heaven. Senator Davis, of Minnesota, told this onej concerning Bishop Whipple, the venerable "St. John of the Fron tier," says the Los Angeles Times. In a passenger coach going into Ba-, kota territory the bishop sat reading the morning newspaper, and the sec ond seat before him sat an infidel who was loudly proclaiming his antipathy .L. 7>:'.t. j -?.i:-,. u"i:"""^ iv ?uu i/.vra ?HU lUIUQ MTV*.

He said he wquld dare to meet Soy pris?t, prophet or. pope in discussion, and loudly pro claimed: "If I could meet old Bishop Whipple, I'd ask st least one question he couldn't answer," "l am old Bishop Whipple," said the venerable apostle to the Indians, as he dropped his newspaper, "ask me your question now." The fellow was startled, but aoon. reoovered and said: "Well, bishop, as saving souls is in your line,. I'd like to know if you can tell me the straight road to heaven." "That ia very easy, indeed," re sponded the bishop with his saintly smile. "Turo to the right and go straightforward." .

I don't know as this can bc classed as game fishing; but when the water was clear and low and tho channel catfish were hungry, it is very excit ing sport, which in rny younger days I often indulged in with thc keenest enjoyment, writes S. E. Worrell in Forest nod Stream. But it is too hard work for an old man, and our great river has been so thoroughly | draiood by the market men with their bait and trammel nets, trot lines and drag seines it promises vory uncertain returns now. I was co ???urtuuai? aa io bu obliged to remain a month at Ham burg, Calhoun Couniy, Illinois, a small landing some fifty miles north of St. Louis, oootaining two trading stores, whose chief sales wore tobacco, .lugar aud calico, and about a dozen .iweliiiigs. To this day this country is designated as tho "Kingdom of Calhoun," owing to its isolated and peculiar oondition. While the sur rounding territory is very populous and fertilo, with all the usual facili ties of business and intercourse, this is isolated by being bounded on the west and south by the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. It is a long, narrow strip of hilly land, thereby unfitted for the usual agricultural producto, sparsely popu lated by the old-timers, who have always exhibited the greatest antipa thy to the negro, not one of whom bas been allowed to locate there, and they even object to their traveling no roo o their district. Formerly this oountry was heavily timbered, and its obief products were cordwood and the best oak barrel stuff and railroad ties that were carried to the river landings and boated to, St. Louis; but these trees were cleared out twenty-five years ago, and, the hills being well adapted for fruit culture, they introduced numer ous orchards, and now export large quantities of our Den Davis, or "Red Missouri" apples. Up to ten years ago ?he "Kingdom of Calhoun" did not oootain a tele phone, telegraph or express office, and today has no railroad, while the boundary counties are netted with them. Neither does it afford any gamy fishing streams or lakes. For tbiB reason, having nothing to do but wait for the slow tow of a heavily loaded bargo of machinery up the river, I grev very weary until I thought of jugging, for wbioh the stage of the Mississippi was particu larlp favorable at that time. It will be understood, as thc name implies, that ibis sport simply re quires a dozen or so of corked jugs, to the handle of whioh is scoured a stout cotton line about No. 36, three foot long, and a catfish book baited with almost soy thing from old meat to spoiled oho eso rind.. Marketmen generally uso tin cans or dry, white pine floats for this purpose. I found this tnokle st ooo of the stores, acd from that time until my departure I supplied froe of cost all the town of Hamburg with the finest chancel oat? Gsh, whioh, by the way, is excellent eating; especially 'for people who en joy a buffalo or even "Dutoh" oarp. "German"' is too respectable a name for this contemptible class of the finny tribe. To illustrate the details o! this sport I will give an account of one of my most successful trips, explaining that for fast and comparatively easy work it is best for one to bo accom panied by a helper; but not being int; dined to tho companionship of any of the loafing natives, a brier root was enough company. Taking my skiff, Trowed up the river about three miles; then, baiting the hooks, I dropped the Jugs aorOS% the channel about twenty'Sive feet apart and dropped behind, waiting re - .

A jug bobbed, and ofter it I went, pulling in about a three pound catfish. By the time the hook was rebaited and thrown bapk into the water two jugs were Jumping around, so the sport WAS gr o wi ag exciting and somewhat laborious. This .continued for about half an hour, White I was floating down stream securing more than a' dosen of fish of from two to ' fifteen pounds, when something surprising occurred.. One cf tho jugs went down as h blaokba?l ; takes a cork. Presently it tappcsjf?$'| sonia distance away, sliding rapidly' over tbs. water.

Talk about your game fish-my ex perience with the rod aod throw lines that the cat pulls more cud dies hard er than aoy other fish of equal size. Wheo a boy I caught aa eight pound er at noon and carried it up on the bank, as I waa afraid to string it with our bass and crappy, where we could hear it flopping around for some time. Nearly five hours later, when well started home, my elder brother, find '?g our uig una appui cully uc?u ??d covered with dirt and leaves, walked OUt (ju iuo l??c? ire? top tu WB5U it o?r. As soon as ho gave it a swish in the water it suddenly revived, pulling him into tho stream, and, although he was an expert swimmer and had it by thc gills, it esespsu,-. to our ?rcat din appointment. To resume. Seeing that tho job was rather difficult, for one person, I used moro caution, BO I grabbed the jug again aba gave the line a quiok turn around the oarlock and sat down until my gamo was completely exhaus ted, then dexterously pulled him aboard. Tho aoalo weight was seventy pounds. By this time the floats were badly scattered, and being below my port I began gathering them in, when my only two-gallon float went down like a flash, and although I stood and close ly soaoned the water in all directions for about fifteen minutes, it never ap peared. The fish must have been a whopper. Formerly we had some very large fish of this class. Nearly fifty years ago a market man caught ono I saw at Quincy, lil., that weighed 220 pounds. It is very exceptional now to hook ono over half this size. A Winning Text. When the Duke of Ormand, whose family name was Butler, was going to take possession as lord lieutenant of Ireland, ho was driven by a storm on to the Isle of Man, where a Rev. Mr. Joseph, a poor curate, entertained him as hospitably as his means per mitted. On his departure the duke promised to provide for him as soon as he beoamo viceroy. The curate wait ed many months in vain and at last went over to Dublin to remind his pnen of his promise Despairing of gaiuiog uccess to the duke, he ob tained permission to preach at the cathedral.

New Orleans, December 6.-Presi dent Boosey cit some time ago directed that five islands situated off the south east coast of the State of Louisiana be cet aside as a game preserve, under the title of tbe Breton Reservation. And now, supplementing that notion, the Lake Borgne levee boord of Louis iana bas rented to the Audubon So ciety of this State, seventeen islands near the coast in the vicinity o? Bre ton Reservation with a total area of 3,00.0 aores. The purpose of the Au dubon Seoiety, as well aa that of the department of agriculture in whose charge tho reservation, has been placed, is to raise wild sea. birds. To oarry out that plan the national com mittee of Audubon Societies, of whioh Willism Butcher, of Nov/ York, is pr?sident, have hired .; men to con stantly patrol the adjacent waters of the Gulf and to watch the islands to prevent trespassing. It is expected the islands will be come the greatest bird breeding lo cality in the world, as well SB being the largest area devoted to that pur pose. _-j '. ?. . ??" ; . .> .'. -- With oongre?s in session only a week, over 10,000 bills have been in troduced in the House alone.
