An old employe of the late a. T.
Stewart, the millionaire dry goods mer-
chant of New York, tells an instance
which shows the means sometimes en-
ployed by that gentleman for enforcing
the rules of his store. There was rule
to the effect that no person employed
in the building should carry matches
under penalty of dismissal One even
ing, as Mr.. Stewart was passing through
the store on his way home, he suddenly
turned to Il number of clerks who We're
standing near the door and asked: Can
any of you oblige me with n match?''
No one answered for a moment, till one
of the men. prompted by courtesy, and
thinking that his employer would not
take advantage of him, replied: Ger
tainly, sir, here is one" ''You are dis
charged, was the ungracious response.
Go to the desk and get what is due
You" And with n good evening, rMr.
Stewart passed on to his carriage.
