NORTH PLATTE SEMLWEBKLY TRIBUNE. Something to Think About By T A. IPALKER KEEP ON HIGH ROAD TN A recent newspaper Interview, A Charles M. Schwab, one of tho notable leudors In the steel industry In which ho began ns a boy of seven teen, forty-one years ago, sold, "I would rather lose money month after month In my plant than make It by any but the highest methods In the world." Mr. Schwab went to work to learn the business and he learned .t thor oughly by mastering every detail ns he proceeded, scorning a tired back and soiled hands. lie credits his rise to loyalty to his employer and states that success enmo from constant application to the subject In view. Here In a tew simple words, for those who will take time to read, will bo found the formula for the attain ment of success. And here too Is embodied the rule which every person must nee'ept ns his own, a hard and fast law as that of the Modes and Persians, unfailing In results and bounteous In reward. Let the Indifferent young mun and woman, Inclined to grumble nnd shirk duty, ponder the wonderful meaning of "highest methods," and "loynlty to em ployer." , The five words may be likened to hinges upon which the great door of success swings wide open ut the un relenting push of the hand and bralti that refuse to be denied entrance. j V Tze Friendly 'Path cBy- Walter I. Robinion ? r : TOO MUCH PROFANITY rpOO often cussing is tnken as a matter of course. Men in high positions nre frequently expert In the use of profane words, and the influ ence of bad language has a bad effect on both the old and the young. Much effort Is being made to In crease the use of better English, and along with this propaganda it would be well to preach considerable against the use of bad language. Directly cussing, unless the name of the Master Is taken In vnln, may cause no great damage. But Indirectly It does much harm. When the little folk henr their parents swearing, their respect for thtlr elders Is either lessened or else the youngsters begin using it themselves as a matter of course. Not Infrequently we hear little shavers, hardly able to speak plainly, using language which would put many men nnd women to shnmc. Pike county, Kentucky, recently honored the memory of Its oldest citi zen. Jesse B. Osborne. Much was said In praise of this departed citizen, who crossed the bnr at the age of ninety two years, and no louder prnise was heard than 'of his reputation for never having permitted a profane word to pass from his lips. Judging from this event, one might assume that profanity Is the rule rather than the exception. If this Is the case, Isn't It about time to call n halt? The old remedy, considered quite effective for curing profano habits, was to wash the boy's mouth with soap. But, from our observation, we are Inclined to be lieve that It would be unfair to use such a remedy to stop youths from Uncommon BY-PRODUCTS THE Standard Oil company found a way to utilize all residue from tho distillation of trolcum. Gasoline, now ono of has the chief products of the concern was onco a by-product. All tho coal tnr de rivatives, from which many drugs nnd medicines aro made, are by-products. Bo are paraflln, candles, and hundreds of other nrtlcles la every day use. The Standard Oil company Is a big concern. It has thousands of tech nically trained experts at work for it. It has plants nil over tho world the biggest plants of tho kind In existence. Such an Institution can well afford to go Into tho business of making by products, nnd to expend n part of Us almost limitless energies In getting all that Is possible out of the crudo oil which Hows from Its wells. But tho business of developing by products Is for a corporation, und a big one not for nn individual. You may fancy that you can throw off by-products easily 'ns you do your dally work. You may believe, If you nre a bookkeeper that by spending a few nights writing moving picture Dccnnrlos you will bo able to utilize all your bruins, Instead of port of them. If you arc a young professional man, Whenever you go to work in sombre days, remember that there Is within you n force, which, If properly applied, will enable you to open this samo door and tnko your place among the leaders. And this force must bo called up by ypu alone. , Nobody else can do It for you. tJnve faith In yourself. IIuvo no fear, for fear Is tho rock on which humans fall and go tumbling into the valley of despair. No mun or woman with fear In the heart ij capable of clear discernment, sure judgment or superior accomplish ment. . Keep your mind on the great and splendid achievements of others, nnd those' you want, to do yourself. Be loyal and hold steadfastly to highest methods. Preserve an attitude of courage, courteousness nnd good cheer. Avoid the malcontents, the grum blers, the sulkers and shirkers, the makers o wry faces and the provok ers of quarrels. Keep on the high road and in the sunshine. Move straight In the right direction nnd some morning you will find that success and honor nre speeding to wards you with open nnns. . (Copyright.) bored. o. cduca cussing. The cause too frequently rests with the parents who worry and complain because their offspring are devilish and almost beyond their con trol. A general mouth-washing of tho ciders probably would have greater effect Profane language Is not beautiful. It does no good. It may be the stepping-stone to lives of crime which end in prison cells. For once the bars are lowered against small wrongs, tho big. ger wrongs nre certain to be lurking near and crawl Into one's life. Less profanity would add to tho Joy of the world. (Copyright.) JOHN BLAKE with little to do, you may Imagine that you can take up novel writing, or act ing, or bridge plnylng as u side line, and thus get rich while you uro wait ing for success in your profession. It Is posslblo thnt you will get rich nt ono or the other of theso 'Mngs. But If you do, It will ho because you have dropped your profession and de voted yourself to tho by-product. Anthony Hope, who wrote "The Prisoner of Zenda" was trained ns n bnrrlster, but ho . had no briefs, and wrote stories to while away the hours ho was waiting for clients. lie suc ceeded ns a novelist, because he was born to write, but ho stopped being n lawyer as soon an his first book was published. In this world n man can learn to do one thing fnlrly well. The tijio he has Is better spent on that one tiling. Be gin to scout nround for by-products of your brain, and you will soon so scatter your energies that you do noth ing well. If you wnnt to write "movie" sce narios, write 'em, but don't try to keep a set of books nt tho same time. It can't be done. Tho expert accountants who aro making big wages todny were all satisfied to spend ail their spnro time learning how to keep books better.

Tho last thing that he remembered, prior to being brought buck to hlmseK' by being recognized by a friend In u San Francisco park, was that ho had, In 1005, leaned over to wrap uround a tree tho lines with which he was driving a. pair of mules. Married Three Women. And yet, during the 17 years slnco that moment, he mnrrlcd three times. Lie was soon divorced by his first wife because of his peculiar actions. With his second wife ho lived for many years and had two children, although he finally dropped out of sight. Coming to Los Angeles, he becamo an expert accountant for the old Los Angeles Investment company, nnd when It crashed ho was convicted Of embezzling and sent to San Quentln for two years. During tho yenrs In Los Angeles ho married u third time, this wife subse quently dying. Emery came to consciousness in this wny: He wus walking along Mar ket street, San Francisco, nnd, notic ing many signs referring to thnt city, ho nsked a policeman : "Am I lost, or, is this San Francisco?" lie then went Into a hotel, sat down, and tried to think. lie could only re- "Am I Lost or Is This San Francisco." cnll the events of June 15, 1905. Find ing $15 In his pocket, he rented n room. Dizzy, he lay down on tho bed. whero he slept for 18 hours. Toward noon of the second day ho went to Union square. There he met a man who spoke to him. "Pardon me," he said, "but I do not remember ever having seen you." "Certainly you know me," was the reply. "1 knew you well In Los An geles." Ho then lenrncd thnt It was II. A. Spencer, who, when Emery was In Los Angeles, hnd been secretary of tho Sierra Madre club. Held for Passing Check. Meanwhile Emery, who through all his vicissitudes had never gone under nn alius, was arrested In Snn Fran cisco for having passed a fraudulent check upon a Los Angeles bank. Ho did not say that he was Innocent, but that if he had he had no recollection of It. Meanwhllo Emery's mother and Spencer had been busy trying to re construct the 17 dcaa yeurs. Emery has been a real estate man, newspaper solicitor, merchant, nc countant, convict, head of a family and, for a short period, something of n tramp. Always ho stuck to his name, but seemed to havo nothing elso thnt linked him with his people nnd his pnst. The check passing case has been postponed at the suggestion of tho state and all of tho efforts of tho offi cials will bo directed to restoring Emery's mentality.
