Paying Hand.

A desire expressed through the New
York Christian Advocate 10 hear from
any employer who had tried the plan
of paying off hands ON Monday instead
OF Saturday, led to the following re-
sponse from correspondent at Frank
ford, Pa
"In large rolling mill at this place
the rule had been TO pay on Saturday
until about twenty Ave years ago. The
attention of the firm was called to the
TACT that many Of the men spent all
their earnings for drink between Satur-
day night and Monday morning, thus
leaving their families In want, and un-
fitting themselves for work. The firm
agreed to try the plan of paying on
Monday. 1t has now been more than
twenty five years since this rule went
into operation, and the result has been
SO satisfactory that nothing could in
duce them to go back to the old plan."
This is an Endorsement worthy of the
serious reflection of every employer
who pays his hands by the week.

A REMARKABLE CASE
OF tho Increased Value of LaUd-
The Original Record TOrn From
the County Register.

NEW York, December 24.--At the
beginning of the present cent 1ry
Roger Merritt owned three sections Of
land in Westchester county, sdjoin.
ing the then village OF Sawpitts. He
leased part Of the property and died
iutestate in 1910. Under thu lease,
filed in White Plains in 1902, subse.
quent small leases for parts of the
land Were made 10 sevsral parties for
ninety-nine years. Then the old
house aud lands we converted into
business places, and in 1850 the in
habitaAts Incorporated the place into
the village OF Port Chester. The land
on which the village stands is valued
now at $l5,000,000 TO $20,C00,00O. In
the year 1860 the leaf in the Registers
office containing the record of the
original lease was torn out by some
unknown person, the only evidence
of 1t being in the index. The matter
was put into the hands Of an attorney,
who hually got claw and left yester-
day for a small town in Alabama,
where, 1t is claimed, the identical
missing leaf is in the possession OF the
family OF John Merritt, con OF the
original owner, who quarreled with
his brothers, and the claim is that he
tore 1t out through spite.

euro. The private assurances of lite efficacy
had, ard tho good results of its effects ]
had observed on Mr.. X. W. Meredith, who,
for more than fifteen years, had teen lore
man Of my office, induced me to test it In
my family. Tho results have been entirely
satisfactory. The first case was of two
years standing, in which / believe every
known remedy had been tried with tempo
rary relief-the chills returning periodically
and with seemingly Increased severity.
Your cure broke them at once, and there has
been no occurrence of them for moro than
six months. Tho other case was OF q milder
form, and yielded moro readily to other
remedies; bat the chiIls would return at in
tervals until your. medicine was used, since
which time, now several months, they have
entirely disappeared. From the opportu-
nifty have had to judge, do not hesitate TO
express my belief that your Chill Cure is a
valuable specific, and performs all you
promise for II, Respectfully,
