Time for a Change,

A girl typewriter-what would the
newspapers do if they didn't have
her to write about?-told a reporter
on The Sun, Il have never seen Il
man in whose company [ have not
thought it best never to relax my
guard over myself" See here, if that
young woman has any friends, they
ought to introduce her to few men
outside of the crowd she seems to be
training with. That girl has fallen
in with the wrong kind ofmen. Once
in a while brethren, you will hear a
man talk in a similar disparaging
strain about "all women" 1t isn't
that there are no good, pure, vir-
tuous women, but that kind of a
man never associated with that class
of women. When any one tells me
that all the people in the world are
wicked and wholly bad, impure and
treacherous, [ don't believe it; not a
word of it. But | do believe that the
person who tells me such stuff may
be living in sort of a world; that he
associates only with people of that
class and sort, and believes that all
the world is like his surroundings,
just as a noble may believe that the
sky is black and the grass grows
from it, roots downward. But we
know the sky is blue.-Burdette in
Brooklyn Eagle.

His Customer His EmplOyer,

One of abe most prosperous mer-
chants in New York had his life
, changed by simple performance OF
duty. He was clerk in a big Boston
dry goods house at a small
salary. He always tried to effect a
sale. One day a customer appeared
who was more than particular about
his purchase. In relating his ex-
perience with this man the merchant
said to a reporter:
Il have quick temper, and at
times during the transaction felt
that l could strangle the customer;
but l quickly curbed my temper and
went at him tooth and nail. I felt
that my reputation as a salesman
was at stake, and it was a question
of conquer or to be conquered. At
last l made the sale, and with it
came great satisfaction; but | was
not done with the man yet. WANTED
to sell him more. He said something
about sending his wife around
to look at some dress goods.
I promised to send samples Of new
patterns as they arrived. The GUS
toner thanked me and said"
" 1T has taken you long time to
sell me few goods. Are all your
customers as hard to please as I?"
" 1t takes some customers but a
short time to make their selections,
while others wish to be slower, we are
bonnd to please them ALL answer
ed.
Does it pay your house to de-
vote so much time to so small a sale?'
he inquired again.
eyes, l replied. 4 have taken
pains to give you what you want. /
know you will have the goods as l
say. You will find confidence and
come again, and the next time it
will not take so long
"After getting his package he walk
ed out of the store. In three days l
mailed samples of the new dress
goods to his wife, and the
circumstances passed entirely
out of my mind. | was promot-
ed in few days, much to my aston
ishment. One morning Twas inform
ed that Mr.. B., wished to. see me. l
went to the Office with surprise and
some fear. was more surprised
when saw sitting beside my employ
er my customer of a few months
back. He proved to be the moneyed
partner of the concern, whose other
business interests kept him away
from the dry goods store entirely,
and he was known to but few of his
employees although he knew that l
was new man as soon as he saw
me, and thought to see what I was
made of. That he was satisfied is
proved by his making me buyer OF
the several departments where 1
sold goods. My prosperity began
with tough customer, and now l
thank goodness that got him, and
TINT I did not show my disposition to
strangle him."

f,Iqeer ,,han Ia Fir ,awk,

Mahlon D. TurkS of O., six miles
from this city, is the Fner of five
large fish dams. pfla1 he has been
greatly troubled by the Eepredations
of fish hawks, which have made fre-
quent decents upon his fish preserves,
where swim some 5000 or 1000
German carp of various sizes. The
other day, intending tt abate the
nuisance somewhat if possible, he
took down his shotgun. sand with a
supply of buckshot secrd Nted himself
in the bushes beside Dne dDf the dnrls.
Presently an enormous tPird scared

Why Hamilton Fought Burr.

Hamilton's son, Philip, a few years
before, while defending his father
from political attacks, had become
embroiled in duel. He had met his
antagonist at WeehaWken. opposite
New York, and been killed. Hamil
ton at this time was so impressed
with the noxious influence of the
code that he published a pamphlet
against it.
But there were many reasons why
it was difficult for him to decline to
meet Burr. He had formerly sane
toned the practice he now condemn
ed by serving as second to Col.
Laurens in a duel with Gen. Lee. His
own son had fallen three years be-
fore in (as it was considered at the
time) a vindication of his fathers
honor. He was prominent as an
aspirant for the first Office in the gift
of the people. Today duel would
doubtless decide the question against
him, Then he regarded q refusal to
fight as fatal to his chances. Had he
possessed certain moral strength,
often deficient in some of the Hamil-
tions, he would have acted upon his
convictions. He was too weak to do
this and accepted the challenge.

The Old Commodore.

Commodore Vanderbilt made
$1OO,OOO,OOO, beginning with no
money and very little education.
He could write his name, and that
was about the extent of his sch elastic
requirements. His name, which was
good for any amount on o check,
was not much to look at. He could
not pronounce the letter V, and al,
ways called himself Vanderbilt. A
new clerk at the post-office greatly
annoyed him by looking for his let,
ters under the W's. Don't look
among the WIS; look among the
Wees" said the millionaire. At the
age of 80, the Commodore was 6
match for the whole street. HI
opened all his own letters, dictated
his answers, on the margin; spent
an hour in transacting business in
volving many millions, and ther
went to his stables. He was very
proud of his horses, and liked tc
lead the road-and he generally did

Early Bridges.

The first bridges were of wood, and
the earliest of which we have any ac-
count was built in Rome 500 years
B. C. The next was erected by julius
Caesar for the passage of his army
across the Rhine. Trajan's great
bridge over the Danube, Alto feet
long, was made of timber, with stone
piers. The Romans also built the

A Social Reform From the Kitchen.

Tt is q well-ascertained fact that,
with respect to about ninety per
cent. of the community, the price
paid for food comes to one-half the
income or more. After this food is
bought how much of it is wasted in
bad cooking? How much human
force is wasted in consequence of bad
cooking? How much does dyspepsia
or Indigestion, caused by bad cook
ing, impair the working capacity OF
the people of the United States and
diminish their product? Can five
cents worth per day be saved? Is
not that very insufficient measure
of the difference between q poor,
wasteful cook and q good economi-
cal one? If five cents O day can be
saved on food and fuel, while at the
same time that which is bought and
cooked may be converted into more
nutritious and appetizing food, the
difference in each community OF
5000 people would be $1O9,5OO a
year, or about nine per cent. of the
total product of the typical COM
munity, which we have assumed to
be 81 200, ,OOOa year in gross. When
the attention of the labor reformer
is brought down from grand schemes
for altering the whole constitution
of society, by act of Congress or of
the State Legislature, to the simple
question of how each person, each
family, or each community may bet
ter itself under existing conditions,
great progress will have been made
in solving all the problems which are
now pending Edward Atkinson, in
the April Forum.

what he called a COlncId Idence.

"I used to travel around the coun.
try with apatent hay fork" said the
man with green patch on his left
eye as it came his turn to tell a story
II am not going to say anything
about that tpatent tmore than that no
farmer ever got any benefit from it.
What / wish to bring out is what
might be called curious coincidence
and one that l have kicked myself
over a hundred times.
"Itwas in this way" he continued,
as he got settled back on his seat,
Farmers have their weak spots the
same as other folks. You can hit
some of them by praising their build
ings, Others bv admiring their horses,
others, again, through their hogs or
calves. l had a way of hitting them
all, and it worked to my great profit
every time. When l got up in the
morning, after staying all night with
a farmer, got off something as fol
lows:
II had a very curious dream last
night, | dreamed that | was digging
out behind your barn, just on a line
with u big knot-hole III the sixth
board from the west end, and un-
earthed a tin box containing $2,O 600
in greenbacks. The dream was so
vivid that almost feel the box in my
hands. There's nothing in dreams,
OF course, but l never had one which
seemed so real
"Mind you, | had taken notice OF
the knothole the evening before.
Sometimes fixed the place behind
the barn, and sometimes near a
stump, or so many PAGES from "a GER
tain tree or straw stack, but it
was settled on beforehand. 1t wasn't
one time in twenty that a farmer
would charge me for my lodgings
after giving him this dream. l hit
'em plumb center. and they were only
too anxious to get me out of the way
SO they could begin digging"
"Go on" said several voices, as he
made long pause.
"Well," one morning, after lodging
with n farmer all night and getting
his note for $50 for a hayfork. l re,
lated the usual dream in the usual
way. This time it was buried treasure
beneath a stump near his barn.
saw that he was hard hit at once
and he left me eating breakfast and
went down to dig. l was chuckling
over his greenness when he came
walking in with tin box under his
arm"
"You don't say!"
"But l do, and it was a box he
had dug out a foot OF
so below the surface, 1t
was broken open right then and
there, and may l be drowned for q
yeller dog if the contents didn't pan
out $4, 1925 in just as good green
backs as you ever saw"
"But-but-"
"There was no butts about it. He
found the money and kept it, as was
his right, and no one ever came tC
claim it. This 50 bill was a part O.
! it. He gave it to me as a reward
for my dream, and I'm keeping it as
a relic to show what a fool a mar
can make of himself. That's all
gentlemen-all except that | want
some of you to kick me as soon az
convenient. New York Sun.
