' That is a vital, heart-to-heart question. Put it to X yourself! Drive it home! Don't dodge it! X Figure it this way. The answer depends entirely on training. If you are trained so that you can plan X and direct work, you are worth ten times as much as the man who can work only under orders. If you are qualified to take the initiative, to go ahead when the other man fails, you can pretty near ly fix your own salary. If you are untrained, no matter how ambitious, you will have the humiliation of seeing your trained fellow workers forge ahead of you and leave you in the lurch.

But one more day remains of the Midwinter exposition which has been m cession at the auditorium for the past two -weeks. The Midwinter this season under the management of Geo. W. Balnter has been a great success. The attendance has been larger .thus far and the interest displayed by the business men who exhibit in their booths has been much greater than usual. Tomorrow afternoon the regular weekly children's matinee will be held. Unless the weather is too much on the blizzard order there will be a lot of the younger population In attendance. One of the features of this perform ance will be the reception on the stage at the conclusion of the show for Sil verplume. the little girl who sings and makes such a big hit with the au dience. This little girl made her Initial ap pearance at the Thursday matinee. She has a high clear voice and with ail of her little physique she puts a splendid interpretation into the songs she sings. The attendance took somewhat of a drop last night owing to the cold weather, but It was much better than the management had expected under the circumstances. The attendance to night and tomorrow will probably fall away below the remainder of the week, but the auditorium Is comfort ably heated and those who do attend will not be forced to freeze Tie km for this week Is" a strone one, in fact one of the best ever seen at any of the eight annual shows of this exposition company, and is a high class one. In a larger city it would cost at least a half a dollar to see it. Here at the Midwinter it costs only fifteen cents so those who attend are asured their money's worth. One noticeable feature In the at- tendance is the fact that there are ! many who are not satisfied with seeing cne snow once, but they come back night after night. Even during the cold weather of last night, the per sonnel of the audience contained many faces seen at previous performances, and who are paying for every show. This is a good testimonial for the bill. AMUSEMENTS. At the Grand. Adelaide Thurston will appear at the Grand tonight In -her new vehicle. "A Woman's "Hour." In which she has achieved success this season. Miss Thurston has always been a Topeka favorite and will no doubt meet with a large reception to night. The seat sale will open Monday for "Girls," the new Clyde Fitch comedy which will be seen at the Grand thea ter next Wednesday night. This Is one of the best successes of the season.

It has been the custom of Mr. Mallory for years past, to speak to the men of the shops every Thursday noon. The meetings were very interesting and the men grew to love their speaker and to show to him their appreciation, at the close of his ad dress yesterday, the following resolu tions were drawn up and adopted: "We desire to express to our Brother Mallory our appreciation and love for his earnestness, sincereaess and faithfulness in preaching the gospel to us. during the past number of years. We also promise him our prayers and wish him success in his new field of usefulness.'' The meet ing closed by all the men, which num bered over one hundred, standing and singing "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." It Is hoped by all that this farewell will not be the last sermon they will hear Rev. Mallory preach, for as one said, "Brother Mallory never preached a sermon in his life'. I don't believe, but what he drew some illus tration from a locomotive or great machine in the shops, which always made It more Interesting for us fel lows, and we all hate to see him go mighty bad."
