gers reathus: "Under no circum-
stances will a boy who smokes cigarettes
be employed," General Manager Parker
of the Rock Island railroad says: "In
my judgment it is impossible for a
cigarette smoker to make a good railway
man. As a rule they are dull and hall
asleep most of the tithe. These are not
the kind of men that the Rock Island
wants to operate. its trains, nor an
great system, which is daily responsible
for the lives of thousands of people."

Heaven Enough for Him.
Last evening! was talking
With an editor aged and grey,
Who told me of a dream he had,
I think 'twos yesterday.
While snoozing in his office,
The vision carne to view,
-For he saw an angel enter,
Dressed in garments white and new.
Said the angel, " I'm from heaven,
The Lord just sent me down,
To bring you up to glory,
And put on your golden crown.
You've been a friend to everyone
And worked hard night and day,
You have supported many thousands
And from few received your pay.
So we want you up in glory,
For you have labored hard
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, just reward."
Then the angel end the editor
Started up towards glory's gate,
But when passing close .o Nadas,
The angel murmered " Wait !
I have a place to show you,
It's the hottest piece in hell,
W hereehe ones who sever paid you,
In torment always dwell."
And, behold, the editor saw there
His old subscribers by the score,
And grabbing up a chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more;
But was bound to sit and watch them
As they'deizzle, singe and burn,
And hie eyes would rest on debtors,
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the angel, "Come on, editor,
There's the pearly gates I see,"
But the editor only muttered,
"This is heaven enough for me."
