The Longer
We’re Here
The better we like our
new store on the corner.
It “grows” on us. Grows
in other ways, too. The
stock is being increased
and new lines added as
fast as we see a demand.
If you have not been in
lately, you do not realize
what a complete Drug
Store this is, and the
larger room enables us to
show our goods to such
good advantage. There’s
not a need that Drug
Stores supply but that
you can get"the best qual
ity of it by coming here.
Don’t wait till you need
something before coming
in—come any time. The
oftener you come, the
more you will appreciate
our store.

in direct communiction with the
markets of the world. This feat was
commented on by nearly all of the
railroad journals of tbe world as be
ing a remarkable example of railroad
construction.
“Mr. Tripp, under whose direction
the Tonopah railroad was so quickly
and completely constructed, was born
in Kennobunk, Me., in 1829. The son
of parents will tilled the soil, he re
ceived what little education he could
gather from the district schools of the
county in which he was born. At the
early age of IS he left home to battle
with the big world. Thrown upon
his own resources, he went to Boston,
where he went to work for the Boston
& Maine railroad and learned the art
of railroad telegranhy, in which he
became an adept. He was among the
first to learn this profession, and,
with Robert Pitcairn. Andrew Carne
gie and other noted men. formed the
first telegraphers’ union. In 1801, at
tracted by the oil excitement, he went
to Pittsburg, where he accepted a po
sition as clerk for the Aladdin Oil
Company. Oil was then a manufae-j
tured product, and when the natural
petroleum was discovered, he was
made manager of the same eomnany.
Receiving a more inviting offer to en
ter railroad work, he resigned his po
sition with the oil eomnany and went
with the Alleghaney Valley railroad
in the freight and passenger depart
ment, and when he resigned to go
with the RalMmore & Ohio railroad
in 1882, he was general yardmaster
of the company. He was general
vardmaster for the Baltimore &
and finally their life becomes a wreck,
ami a great many land on the chain-
gang or at the gallows.
There are in the human race as
great and remarkable differences in
genius, temperaments, characteris
tics, powers and accomplishments as
there are varieties among the trees
of the forest, from the magnificent oak
and towering pine down to the grace
ful willow by the water course; or,
as there are among the flowers and
vines of the field and garden, from
the rose and honeysuckle that runs
along the lattice work on the porch to
the graceful and almost sympathetic
ivy which seeks to hide the crumb
ling ruins of some old church tower
from the rude gaze of the passer-by.
As there are many varieties of trees
and flowers, so there are many va
rieties of men, we might say. While
some are cut and fashioned for one
thing, there are others for other
things. Each and every young man,
as he first starts out in business for
himself should he sure that he takes
up the work that has weighed the
heaviest on his mind, and that he
thinks he is best fitted for, and then
strive to make the very best of it.
