You Must Work.
Remember , my son , says Burdette ,
you must work. Whether you handle a
pick or a pen , wheelbarrow or a set of
books , digging ditches or editing a paper -
per , ringing au auction bell or writing
funny things , you must work. If you
will look around you will see the men
wlio are the most able to live the rest of
their days without work are the men
who worked the Hardest. Don't be
afraid of klling yourself with overwork ;
it is beyond your power to do that on
the sunny side of thirty. They die sometimes -
times but it's because they quit work at
6 p , In , and don't get Iconic until 2 a. m.
It's the interval that kills , my sun. The
work gives you am appetite for your
meals , it lends solidity to your slumbers ,
it gives you a perfect and grateful appreciation -
preciation of a holiday. There are
young men who do not work , but the
world is not proud of thein. It does riot
know their names even ; it sometimes
speaks of them as old so an(1-so's boys.
Nobody likes them ; the great big world
does not know that they are there. So
find out what to be and do take off your
coat and make a dust in the world. The
busier you are the less harm you will be
apt to get into , the sweeter will be your
sleep , the brighter arul happier will be
your holidays and the better satisfied
the world will be with you.
Tuesday's Shoot.
The members of the McCook Gun club
indulged in a shoot , Tuesday afternoon ,
at 25 live birds.3o-yard rise and so-yard
boundary. The entrance fee was $7,50.
The comparatively low average of birds
killed is eaplained by the fact ( hat the
high wind which prevailed ( luring the
shoot carried ninny hit birds outside the
boundary line. About half the birds
shown in the score as missed died outside
the line. The score was as follows :
