John D. Rockefeller, jr.. In one of the
last addresses that he made to his Sunday
school class before abandoning It, said of
carefulness in business:
“Too many business men are careful
on one side, their own side, only. Thus a
coal dealer whom I used to know shouted
one afternoon to an employe who waa
driving out of the yard:
“ 'Hold on there, Jim! That coal can’t
have been weighed. It looks a trifle large
for a ton to me.’
“Jim shouted back:
Phis ain’t a ton, boss. It’s two tons.’
“ *Oh, all right,’ said the dealer, In a
mollified tone. ‘Beg your pardon. Go
ahead.’ “

(Copyrighted, 19<M, by XV. B. Hearst.)
Among the landseekers who tilled the
car with noisy gossip and tobacco
smoke, two young men sat together
each absorbed in his own thoughts.
Both were magnificent specimens of
western youth. One was a little taller
than the other, not so strongly built,
but his broad shoulders and erect fig
ure, surmounted by a well moulded
head, gave him the look of a “husky
man. In spite of his half-shaven face,
the dark bronzed complexion, with
features that would have been alto
gether too line had it not been for a
cruel scar half visible under his slouch
hat that marred the high forehead
beyond repair—in spite of sloucny
dress and red bandanna, he might al
most be called handsome. The other,
his comrade, was quite the opposite,
{with gray eyes, quick with intelligence
'and a twinkle that betokened good
•humor, while his large, regular feat
ures were marked with the generous,
easy going temperament that the other
did not possess. Did you ever study
[faces in a street car or a railway train,
where every man was a stranger to
you? The constrasts and individuali
ties are a never ending source of enter
tainment.
“Will you get married, Jim,' drawled
.the good natured one, tiring of silence,
“if you locate a goo un yonder?’
“I can’t say as to that, Bert. Some
one else might make a better guess
at that. Ain’t you? I’ve heard a raft
of talk ‘bout you and--” !
“Bessie Blake? So you have heard
that, have you? Now, I ain’t forgotten,
Jim, what a good feller you were when
we were kids on Turkey creek together,
and I’ll tell you something straight.
I want to marry her all right, but I
haln’t never said nothing 'cause—well,
'cause I ain’t fit and I’m poor."
The train jolted along noisily and
the speaker was embarrassed by the
pause that followed, so that he finally
turned his flushed face toward his old
schoolmate. That young man was
looking meditatively at the car celling
as he puffed away at his pipe. He was
thinking, as afterward developed, of
the little school house down on Turkey
creek. He could almost see the small,
low seats with high, straight backs,
one of which was occupied by a black
haired little chap with eyes that wan
dered just across the aisle where Bes
sie sort, and a jolly little towhead whom
he called Jimmie. Jim never had a
serious thought then, and now he was
thinking nonchalantly enough of a very
solemn topic.
“You’re right, old man. I don t like
the way our folks speak of the ‘old
woman’ around the place, and I always
made up my mind my wife would nev
er be 'my woman’ ’Tain’t right. Wom
an Is a delicate creature, Jimmie,” he
continued, as If talking to the towhead
on the old play ground.
"You ain’t In love, be you, Bert?”
remarked the other curiously. "Yeu
have good Idea for a man who never
thought about It, eh?”
“I ain’t lucky enough, Jimmie. I’ll
be a long time flndin’ anybody’ll have
me.”
“Now you’re jest talking, old man
Bert. I know’ you. When we were little
fellows, do you call to mind that day
you was married to—yes, by jinks, to
Bessie Blake? I b’lleve you’re in love
with her now, man; how you're red
denin’ up. ’Taln’t no shame to you,
fur she’s the prettiest gal In western
Nebraska. Fess up.”
"Of course, we all—but what’s the
use, Jim, what's the use?” The dark
head fell with apparent sleepiness on
the back of the seat and he paused ab
ruptly.
“You’ve always been a lucky fellow,
Jimmie,” he resumed at \ength. "You
never studied a bit, yet yeu were
ahead of ub all In ’rithmetlc, and I
never saw such a fellow to spell us all
down. Then you always made more
money than I did. Betcher strike a
good claim up In Rosebud.”
“If I don’t I can’t ask Bessie Blake
to have me, and chances are that that
eastern feller’ll get her.” The train
bumped along as if It had left the
track and then slowed down almost to
a stop. “I tell you, Bert,” exclaimed
the other eagerly, “let’s make a grand
lottery. We’ll team It against that
eastern feller. If you get a claim I
help you get her, and If I get a good
one I get the gal. What d’ye say?”
and the fair haired young giant laughed
In his good natured way.
“But Bessie ought to decide that,
and not you nor me. Guess we better
go It alone.”
"Oh, go on, Bert. Let’s have some
fun. P’raps we won’t either one of us
get anything, anyway. It’s a go."
"I’d rather say that the one who gets
a good claim will have the first chance,
and the other’ll give him lots of lee
way. Ain’t that better for the girl?"
"Done!" said Jim delightedly and
chuckled with pleasure as be curled up
In his seat and finally sank Into a
doze.
“You’ll get her all right, Jim, ’cause
you’re always lucky, and I don’t be
lieve the gal would have me anyway,”
said Bert Watkins, as the two sepa
rated at a little cross roads station
out In the sandhills on their return
from Bonesteel.
The other broke Into one of his
hearty laughs as he retorted, "'Twon't
be my fault, Bert, If I do.”
Bessie Blake was the pride of the
ranchers for miles around, for didn’t
she have an education in the seminary
and wasn’t she just the same Bessie,
riding the fastest horse and shooting
the prairie chickens with the best of
them, in spite of her years in the east?
Her father, not rich, but well-to-do,
with a large family to support. The
girl possessed his generous, easy go
ing nature, combined with the refine
ment and grace of the little mother
who was the inspiration of the Blake
household. But she was a true child
of the prairie and when she was not
busy at the home in the twilight she
would steal out on her favorite horse.
Jiffy, and ride like the wind to the hill
top to see the unrivalled western sun
set.
On this particular night she re
mained a little longer than usual. She
started rapidly homeward, taking the
fences that Interposed with the grace
and ease of a veteran rough rider.
Just as she cleared a low rail fence
her Stirrup gave way and she fell sud
denly an a bunch of prairie grass, un
hurt, her faithful horse shying to one
side and then standing stock still al
most like a human being In Intelli
gence.
’’Miss Bessie, you ain’t hurt, axe
you?” A little figure vaulted the fence,
his horse remaining loose in the road
outside, and stooping he looked into
her white face anxiously.
“It's me, Bert Watkins, Bess. You
ain’t badly hurt, are you?”
“Not a bit,” The girl smiled as her
color struggled back into her round
cheeks and she weakly threw back her
blonde curls that drooped over the
bixxad forehead and into the dark blue
eyes. "I’m all right. Oh!" she ex
claimed, “my ankle hurts Just a little,
i
ft
but Ifll be nil right In n minute.
There,” She stepped firmly on the sod
and then paled again, fainting In his
arms.
Not uttering a word, he let her head
rest gently on his knee while he
thought of a hundred things to do for
her If only he hud something to do
them with. The pale face colored
again and the eyes opened, and In the
midst of the excitement something
happened which startled the young
lady, but did not frighten her.
'Bert. I heard you say that." she
said mischievously, as she limped
along at his side.
Not a word from her companion.
”1 heard you and I felt that—that
kiss.”
"But I couldn’t help it. I was so glad
you were all right, Bess.”
’’Do you know what It made ms
think of. Why, that day we played
you were young I.ochlnvar. Why
haven’t you been to see me since you
got back from the Rosebud?” she asked
sternly.
"I promised—I hadn’t time.”
“Jim Welch had time and he wasn’t
so blessed with leisure as some othei
young man I know.”
"You say he has been here? He's a
fine fellow, Bess; a good man, and
he’d make any woman a line hus
band.”
“Do you think so? I do too. And
I'd just like to find a nice girl for
him.”
"He likes you and wants you,” said
the young man reverently.
"Me?” A charming laugh rippled
over the prairie like the song of a ris
ing lark. “I couldn’t, even though he
•did get the finest claim In Rosebud.’*
Then she drew back abashed.
“He’s better than a hired man,
Bess.”
“But I’d rather have the hired man"—
she started with a quick movement—"It
I loved him.”
He didn’t wait for any explanttons
on his part, nor did he propose as they
do In books; but his strong arms fairly
lifted here from her feet as he ex
claimed:
“Then you do-”
"I do,” she Interrupted, demurely.
”1 need a hired man, too. for I drew
one of the best quarter sections In
Rosebud myself, Bert Watkins, and
now you’re In for a homestead for
life.”
'‘We'll prove up together,” he replied,
softly, as they walked slowly toward
the house. ,
Long as Sherlock Holmes.
Cleveland Leader: Ex-Governor
Long, of Massachusetts, is a political
Sherlock Holmes. Not long ago he was
at a county fair, when a farmer ap
proached him. Governor Long stuck
out his hand and said:
"I'm glad to see you again, sir, glad
to see you. How's your wife? And
the boy?"
All was right and accurate, and ths
farmer beamed with pleasure. Gov
ernor Long continued:
“And say! How about the white
horse? Still have him, I suppose?'
The farmer beamed more than ever.
"Wall, now! Who’d of thought you’d
remember a little thing like that, gov‘
nor! Yes, I still got the old white
hoss.’
When the farmer had passed out of
hearing, a friend exclaimed:
'Say, governor, that 'wife and boy’
question was all right and safe. But
how in the world did you know he had
a white horse?”
“Well," said Governor Long, “I'll tell
you. I saw some white hairs on hlj
coat and I took chances.”
As’Explained.
"How did he manage to do that?”
asked the girl in the balcony as the
comedian struck a match on his side

“Oh, that's dead easy,” answered her
escort. “His whiskers are sandy. See?”

“The Call of the Wild."
How loudly calls the wilderness.
There’s many a man can tell.
Though In a city’s busy life.
For long years he may dwell.
But in his heart, so sweet and clear
He hoars the restless sea,
Or feels the forest atmosphere.
Forever wild and free.
Beyond the touch of counting house,
Beyond the clink of gold,
The wilderness still calls him home.
