Giving Him Avice. **Young man,’ said the president of ore on the western roads. to a candidate tor employment. ‘*Young man I can do nothing tor you beyond giving you a little advice. Do as I did and make yourself a_ self-made man!’? “But how do you do it?’’ inquired the job hunter. “T started out as a swithman this very road. I was poor but am- bitious. Ia orderto get my first start, I married a girl, got her lite insured, started her off on her wed- ding tour alone, derailed the train, and collected the insurance, multced the company in $10,000,and bought a passenger brakeman’s place.’’ “That was ingenious,’’ commen- ted the applicant. ‘“*Then I married another woman, insured her lite and one night when the train stopped to cool a hot box, I didn’t tlag the freght coming a- long behind. I collected the insur- ance on her, got another ten thou— sand and purchased a _ conducter’s sit. From that the raise was easy and now Iewn the road. Do as I did... Rely on yourself and ask no man tor assistance.’* “Much obliged,’’ replyed the youth, ‘‘I’ll profiit by your advice, I know where I cangeta job gn a uewspaper, and { dont know how I can make a better start than by pub- lishing your experience. Good morning !"’ But the selt made man called him back, and now the youth is treasure- er of the whole concern. on One of Duteh Charley's Pranks.

He had concluded, however that the job was too risky, and determined to give the Mr. Chappell question- and found well intormed regarding the interior arrangements of the treasurer’s office and the number of persons likely to be psesent at the same time set tor the robbery. After making an ap- pointment for another interview with the manat eight p.m, Mr. Chappell went to his office and in- formed the cheit clerk of what had happened, then laid the matter be- tore Deputy Warden Bradley of the penitentiary, who quickiy recogniz- ed the man as a notorious crook known as Dutch Charley, who sery- resi- gang away. ed the man closly him other penitentiaries.
