Not a I’atent Medicine or an Alcoholic Mixture

down men and women as BEEF MALT. No remedy has ever met the speedy
and permanent approval of so enlightened a portion of the community.
What then is Beef Malt ?
It is the most perfect food ever made. It contains the strength .Of
the best beef the nutriment of the choicest grain, and the tonic propertIes
of celery. It is a wholesome, natural stimulant, safe and simple ; 1,891,080

ed in the same time by any other preparation ever put upon the market.

A Business Man's Address to New Yprh
Editors.
Mr. George Ii. Daniels, general paéi
senger agent of the New York Central
Railroad, delivered an address to the
editors of New York State at their an-
nual outing at Lake George. Among
other things he said:
”\Vith a view to lending variety to
what might otherwise be a dull and mo-
notonous effort, I have selected as the
basis Of some very brief. but, I trust,
pertinent, remarks, 3. subject from the
writings of Zachariah: ‘Despise not the
day of small things.’
“In the winter of ’40 or the spring of
’50, a young boy, fresh from a farm. and
beaming with the ingenuous enthusi-
asm so characteristic of the country, en-
tered the office of the publisher of L6
Roy Standard and asked if they wanted
a boy. A few minutes’ conversation
satisfied the publisher, who was a judge
of human nature, that this particular
boy would, if he lived, grow to be a
man, and possibly a man Of considera-
ble ability. for during his brief conver-
sation the boy had stated that he in-
tended to become a great journalist, the
owner of a daily paper. with a large cir-
culation. in which he ‘would be able to'
compliment his friends and roast his
enemies in a style that would attract
general attention in the neighborhood in
which the paper was published.
“After some preliminaries in regard
to bonds, moral character. etc, on both
sides, the boy was cngagr .l to fold the
papers at one cent a quire. the standing
order for paper in the office at that
time being twenty-four quires a week.
With an enterprise which was indica-
tive Of future greatneSs. this youtlnwho
‘despised not the day of small things.’
undertook in u. very short time after his
appointment to increase the circulation
of the paper. and within six months. by
diligent efforts at odd hours when he
could get away from his arduous duties.
he had secured twenty-four additional
subscribers, and, beginning with the
seventh month, he received the princely
salary of twenty-five cents a week.
“You will observe that the maximum
order for paper in the most prosperous
times was twenty- ve quires, making a
total circulation of 600. although the
publisher placed at the head of ‘his edi-
torial columns the announcement that
his was the greatest family paper in
Western New York, with the largest
circulation in eleven counties, and
stated (but this was merely o.- bluif) that
his business manager would make an af-
fidavit at any time that the circulation
was between 8.000 and 9,000 per week.
making, of course, the finest advertising
medium to be found anywhere outside
of the metropolis.
“There is an old saying among the
Persians that "aspirations are prophe-
cies which need only faith to fulfill."
The case of the young man above de-
scribed is a proof of the Persian prov-
erb.
“The boy who at that early day did
so much to increase the circulation of
the paper with which he was connected,
is an honored member of this associa-
tion, a friend of everybody, and the en-
emy of no man. I refer to Mr. E. H.
Butler, the proprietor of the Buffalo
News.
“On a fine morning in the month of
May, about forty years ago, there was
born in the beautiful Mohawk Valley 3.
child, destined to wield a great influ-
ence in the journalistic world; from an
early age be displayed a taste for all
sorts of comic pictures. When only a
very little lad he would sit for hours
turning over the leaves of a patent med-
icine almanac, which contained pictures
Of an alleged humorous character, in-
terspersed with jokes, more or less an-
cient, generally more than less. He
often annoyed his parents by asking the
explanation of these jokes, and became
the admiration of all the country round
on account Of his remarkable apprecia-
tion of everything ludicrous.
“His earliest liter. ry efforts were a
series of jokes upon :-.- inhabitants of
the Mohawk Valley and the boatmen on
the canal, published in 1867 in the MO-
hawk Valley liar-ion and Banner of
Liberty, at Canajoharic.
"These were the days of small things
with our youthful editor, but with a de»
termination which knew no defeat he
labored on in his chosen field. and while
still a boy became. with the gentleman 1

dency Of this :tsmuization. the proprietor
of one of the great daily journals at the
capital of the' State.

soon taken. TO—day his name, and the
names of his great journals are house- 3

guage is spoken; another evidence Of the‘
truth of the Persian proverb in regard
to aspirations.
“You, of course, know I refer to W.
J. Arkell, publisher of Judge and Les-
lie’s Weekly.
~‘Who would have thought that the
Mohawk Valley boy, poring over an old
comic almanac or Joe Miller’s joke book
by the dim but malodorous light of a
kerosene lamp. in the days when the
Standard Oil Company was struggling
for an existence, would one day become
the head and frontof one of the greatest.
comic papers of the age?
"It is said that it is just as natural
for Mr. Arkell to write jokes for Judge
as it is for some country editors to clip
them out and publish them Without
credit.
“Just here Iwould like to ofier a word
of advice to the members of this aSSOo
ciation: .
“First—‘Despise not the day of small
things.’ Remember that most of the
papers had a very small beginning.
Lend a. helping hand to those who are
just commencing and who necessarily“
have to begin in a small way. Some
day they may have influential journals.
Second—Do not overwork yourselves.
The tendency of this age is to deep and
continuous thought. Do not try to ac-
complish everything. There are others.”

AN ERUDITE BRAKEMAN. 4:
A Vv'est Point Graduate \Vorklng His Way
Up in the Railroad Business.
A rather grimy young man, in dusty
corduroys and a stubby black beard, sat
chatting with Freight Traffic Manager
McCormick yesterday, says the Cincin-
nati Inquirer.
“Let me introduce Mr. Charlie Hine,
a freight brakeman on our Chicago divi-
sion.” said Mr. McCormick. '5:
Mr. I-Iiue rose. and, acknowledging the
was shy a finger nail in the ~way of bus-
iness as the result of his first month’s
experience on the road.
“Mr. Bins has resigned his commis-
sion as Lieutenant in the United States
army to turn freight brakeman,” con-
tinued Mr. McCormick. “He is a grad-
uate of Washington High School, of the
West Point Military Academy, and of
the Cincinnati Law EULiOOl. But he is
ambitious and wants to graduate in the
Big Four College. He is taking the op-
erating department course and will go
in for his examination and degree of
superintendent one Of these days.”
The Enquirer published the announce-
ment of Mr. Hines’ resignation from the
army 2. month or more ago. His old
friends would hardly recognize him now.
There is nothing of the trim and jaunty
appearance left, and he has lost some
pounds in weight while hustling local
freight and twisting brakes, but he looks
at you with determined eyes that smile
cheerily and do not shift as he explains
his position.
“My ambition is to be a superintend-
ent,” he says. “I have studied. the the-
ory, but I want the practice. Theory
and practice combined produce the ideal
condition in any profession. and in rail-
roading, a profession which is compara-
tively new, nearly all the higher officers
rose from the ranks.
“After the war there were thousands
of educated men who came out of the
service, and. finding themselves dis—
placed in their old vocations. began life
over again by taking subordinate posi-
tions on railroads. These men natu-
rally rose, and now fill the official posi-
tions. I am simply doing from choice
what many were ficrced to do by circum-
stances, that is all. There is nothing
Quixotic about it.”
“I suppose you didn’t think there was
enough danger in the profession of arms
and thought that you would try freight
braking?" asked the reporter. “The
railroad companies killed or maimed
nearly 35,000 employees in 1893, you
know.”
Mr. Hine smiled, and. glancing at his
wounded finger. said that he “didn’t
propose to get killed or maimed if he
could help it, but that was part of the
game. I have just drawn my first
month’s pay, $60.20.” he added. “and I
rather think that I earned it. My com-
panions are good fellows and have re-
ceived me very kindly.
“The work comes a little hard, but I’m
not at all discouraged. and mean to go
through with it. I have fallen through
a. cattle guard once and knocked Off a
finger nail and hustled freight, but it’s
all right; I knew what I was getting in-
to when I began it.”
The young man is 28 years of age, of
spare figure, and it is evident that he is
not very strong physically. He is a na-
tive of Virginia. He has no special in-
fluence or backing to bring promotion,
and says that he doesn’t expectit except
as he earns it in the regular course.
A Mystery Explained.
The street-fight was almost over. One
able—bodied gladiator lay prostrate on
the sidewalk, and the other was enjoy-
ing the fruits of victory by kicking him
in the ribs, while the crowd surged
around to get a good view of the pro-
ceedings. Suddenly a figure appeared
which caused strong men to hold their
breath in astonishment.
It was a policeman!
With a fixed gaze and unfaltering
step he advanced and laid his grasp on
the shirt collar of the victor, who for a
few seconds remained nerveless, and
paralyzed by the mysterious apparition.
and, then tearing himself away, fled
down an alley with a cry of horror. \
Awed and silent. the crowd gathered
round and gazed at the stern set face of
the officer.
Suddenly a quiver passed over his
features; he drew his coat cuffs several
times across his eyes and looked help-
lessly about him.
i "\Vhere am I?" he gasped.
The mystery was explained atJast.
He was a sleep-walker.——Truth.

The Summer Girl Joke.
Of all the jokes thedearest
That hangs on memory’s wall,
The old, old joke of the summer girl,
It scemeth the best Of all.
The ships have pas'sed in the night time;
' sleeves are getting passe;
Tri by has gone to the bow-wows,
And bloomers have had their day.
We look with longing fondness
At what we spurned last fall,
And the old. old joke of the summer girl,
Seemeth the best of all.

”Indeed.”
