PAGE FOUR The Evening Telegram| WovLo You HIRE vovserr: One of the most striking questions that could be propounded the aver- age man is: Would you hire your- self? It would be a good thing for every man in this city whether he be clerk, mechanic, employer of la- bor, or what not. Would you pay yourself the wage you receive for what you do now? That is a hard question, one that you should han- dle carefully. In the Caxton, Edwin F. Ferndon bas written the following story: We want you to read it, apply it to your- self. If you are not earning your present salary go to the man who pays you and ask him to cut it down. Such things have been done occa- sionally. It fixes you strong and puts you in a true light for yourseli to see. Here is the story: *‘Honestly, now, would you employ Published every afternoon from the Kentucky Buildiag, Lakeland, Fla Entered in the postoffice at Lake- isnd.

Did you ever answer it fairly, way down in your heart and way back in your head— answer it the way you know that it should be answered? Did you ever answer it without quibble or evasion, without ifs or buts, without any oth- er feeling but that of commercial disinterestedness? You say that can't be done? i* can. You've done it hundreds of times; I've done it, our neighbors have done it. The real true answer iz that way-back feeling—that in- nermost consciousness — that ob- trudes itself whenever the question comes up and we wrestle with it. When you're dissatisfied with your job, when everyone else seems to be doing better than you, when you feel that your services aren't appreciated as substantially as they should be, when you rail at what the house doesn't do for you, when you spend a couple of hours of each working day nursing your woes instead of putting vour shoulder to the business, when But (ommissioner of Agriculture—W.|in fine, you are absolutely certain .\ McRae. yon're getting no square deal, then Treasurer--J.

Let any one come in Lere and attempt to sell any kind of merchandise, or do almost any other kind of business, and see how quick and how loud the merchants will howl. They will state, and justly, that they are pay ing a license and taxes, and incur- ring other expenses for the privilege of doing business here, besides car- rying a heavy investment, and that the itinerant, who adds nothing to the wealth of the community, but on the contrary, carries the money away from the city, should not be allowed te compete with them. But thes» same merchants will pay their good money to some fellow they never saw before and will never sce again, for some advertising the purpose of which is to put money in a stranger's pocket and then they will complain that “advertising doe not pay."” They forget that these peo- ple are selling the stock in trade of the local publisher and printer, just the same as the peddler of groceries, or dry goods, or real estate, would be competing with the legitimate dealers in such things. They forget that the home newspaper pays for scheme, sole the privileze of doing business here; | that it contributes heavily to the tax rovenues; to the churche tublic enterprise; and that it thonsands of dollars invested in an expensive plant, and pays out other thousands yvearly for labor and sup- plies, which goes directly back to the jocal merchants, Tt is unfair to giv to these traveling gentry for their doubtful schemes the money to which the local publisher is entitled for lesitimate advertising. these things the next time the smooth citizen with a “great scheme” comes has 3 to every | Think of | s now, would you employ yourself?"

The west of France State raitway bas devised a method of bringing trains to their destination on time, { which must surely appeal more to a I'renchman’s sense of humor than to his convenience. Instead of acceler- ating the speed of trains which have Leen notoriously behind time, says the Scientific American, the officials of this road, who happen to be gov- ernment oflicials, have adopted the naive plan of starting the trains as much earlier as the average time by which they have been late. The Standard of London, commenting on the matter, says: “Whereas hitherto tle stipulated times of departures and arrivals were purely mythical, they will henceforth be statements tof fact, unless, of course, it should again become applhy brake power to the time table.” necessary to BANK NOTES ARE TO BE SMALLER Washington, Aug. 7.—The size of all United States currency and na- tional bank notes probably will be reduced by one-third and their de- signs revolutionized by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh for the sake o cconomies to the government, con- venience to the public and a safety reainst counterfeiting.

This is illustrated this year in the Georgia peach crop, and the Herald says the same condi- tions exist as to the other food sup- plies.
