"My DEAR" sid Mrs. Goodley, "did
you hear that Mr.. Stormer swearing ct
his clerks? It is shameful the Way lie
speaks to those poor men, snd I en- sur
pTised that they submit TO il. IF were
g man" of you were man, Mrs
Cooley, would probably be the husband
Of some other woman, and | am amazed
that you should suggest such a thought, -
replied her other half. "But ns to Mr..
Stormer's Submissive clerks, don't you
waste any sympathy on them, for you
! may set IL down as 8 rule, with but few
exceptions, that The man in this free and
easy land OF ours who takes cuSsipg'
from his employer, will 'gst even with
him in some way, perfect satisfactory
| to himself.
"It lie doesn't get his satisfaction from
The cash drawer, he will obtain it by neg
Letting his duties; at any rate, Stormer
Will learn before he is much older thst
such course is not profitable"
"Yes, indeed; and it's wrong ss well as
dear"
"The trouble with Stormer is, after
years Of labor for hard tsskmsster, he
is now getting MS satisfaction, buG he is
paying dearly for his WHISTLE
"NoW | kew OF man who employed
large number of men and 'cdssed' them
harder than Slormer could to save mis-
Ieck, and he made money by jt!'
"What brute" NE, Mrs. Cooley,
not bit Of il, but thor1ugh-goiog
genius, as you must confess when you
hear the story IS it wss told me by one of
his employees" "I went to worE," said
Charlie -, Clearly one morning for
the old man, up in trestle about sixty
feet high, running 81 engine driving piles
in the bed OF ri7er.
CATER working about an hour for all /
was worth, slowed up for Bit to
tighten nut, or do some necessary work
about the engine, when l leard the Gid
man on the bank, eve had just
begnp the work and were
only few yards OUT acusaing
like he was psid for it. l didn't pay
much attention TO him at first, thought
perhaps he WAS doing it to keep himself
in practice, but directly l found he was
practicing On me, and in about q pair OF
seconds he'd thrown line OF cuss words
strong enough to bridge the Pecos.
By the time he'd got the stringers laid l
had the cross timbers down, and before
you could sly, fet's take a drink was in
the bank by his side with 8 fourteen inch
monkey wrench in my hand, and profanity
enough in my mouth to stock q railroad
camp. AS soon as l landed he began
to laugh, sid said, chats all
right, Charley; get back to work
now and whooper up as you've
been ADDING 'You give me my time
and pass back to town. said l, 'and
that right quick, too; you can't talk to
me in any such style as that, and don't
you forget it, either He just put his
hand on my shoulder and said, come,
sit down, want to tell you something
Well, to make s long story short, l sim
mered down and listened to him.
Charlie ssid he, Il have 100 men
working for me, and they do as much
work, and better work, than any 200 on
the line, and there amt man Of them
that'll let me cQss him, and I'll tell you,
what most Of the boys don't know,
that this is the way l select my men.
OF course they must be capable ana un-
derstsnd their business, but as soon es
the new man shows that he can handle his
tools, open up on him Sc l did on you;
if he takes it, discharge him, If ne re-
sents it, know then that he has self
respect in addition to skill and is the sort
CT msn for me-" "Wen," said Mrs.
G1odley, when her husband had con-
cluded his recital, 'that's singular man
ner Of selecting men, and will hardly be
adopted in the sehection of Sunday school
