Found Something to Admire.

Marshall P. Wilder is telling Londoners
this rather good story about a Hebrew
who climbed up two flights of stairs to a
room where Jones & Brown had set up a
bankrupt sale of gloves. The gloves had
been marked down to $1.50 pair. Jones
was present.
"Give you seventy-five CENTS" said
Moses. "Noa Ca1l it q dollarp Nor Dollar

"No, sireep exclaimed Jones thoroughly
exasperated. mot cent less than $1.50.
Get outt' and he seized the Hebrew Gus
toner and fired him down stairs.
1t so happened that Brown was coming
up just then, and supposing it was right
he fred Moses down the second fight.
There he chanced to fall against the porter
who conceived it to be the proper thing to
assist matters, and he fired Moses down
the steps into the street. The Hebrew
landed on all fours, sat up and looked back
at Jones & Browns establishment with
evident admiration. milne graciousr' he
exclaimed, "what a system"-New Ytrl

People who Cant Get a Pass.

An interesting monthly publication
which can't be bought at any price, but
would make mighty interesting reading
for good many folks, has just reached its
fortieth number. It is issued "for the ex-
elusive use of those persons to whom it is
sent" and lest anybody else should get
hold of copy and begin libel suit the
publisher has omitted to subscribe his
name and address. This publication is
called the Confidential Memorandum"
andit is issued by the railroads for their
own use. 1t contains the names of per-
sons blacklisted for misusing pass privi-
leges. Nineteen of its pages are devoted
to blacklisted individuals and seven pages
to the names of papers which have violated
good faith in the matter of passes. The
papers on the list are all weeklies, and in
clude many trade papers and one or two OF
religious complexion.

not mince words. It describes certain

man, this one from Santa Fe, is charged
with altering his permit so as to include
his wife, and former member of congress
got on the list for loaning his pass, fate
shared by member of the Ohio legislature
for similar reason. A Missouri clergy

Fate of the "Ark Of the Covenant"

It will probably never be known what
became of the ark Of the covenant at the
time of the destruction and plunder of the
temple. Even conjectures concerning it
are altogether useless Some say that it
was taken away and destroyed by Nebu-
chadnezzar. The Jews believe that it was
miraculously concealed from the spoilers,
and account it among the hidden things
which the Messiah is to reveal. 1t is ad-
mitted, however, from an examination Of
all llJewish writers, that the old ark was
never in the second temple, and there is no
evidence on record to show that new one
was made.
1t is generally understood that the alb
sence of the ark was one of the important
particulars in which the second temple
was regarded as inferior to that of Solo
mon. Josephus states that ''the most holy
place" was vacant in the second temple;
certain rabbinical writers assert that its
place was simply marked by stone. The
fact that Ezra, Nehemiah and the Macca-
bees frequently mention the other sacred
utensils, but never refer to the ark, seems
to be an acknowledgment on their part
that they knew nothing Of the great me-
mortal of the covenant.-TSt. Louis Repub-
| lie.

airls Are Afraid Of Candy Now.

II there is anything in this great and
glorious republic of ours that girl likes
better than any other one thing it is candy.
Even the young man who unwillingly
yields the major portion Of his salary to
her in the purchase Of it can't hold can
die to this sweet competitor. He puts, as
it were, a rival in the field to steal away
his gains. He hates to do it, too, worse
than he hates to get up at q. M, after
sitting up until IL or 13 a. m. helping her
to eat it. He hates it not only because it
is his rival, but because he knows that the
manufacturer is making about 10000 per
cent net on every pound that is sold, Cupid
or no Cupid.
OF course, in these figures reference is
had to these candies that come in tucks
and frills and satin boxes and bags, which
are the only brands a veteran candy girl
will accept But the young mans turn
has come now, and the candy manufac-
turer will have to suck pebble for sweet
enin' while the young man grins.
The girls are scared, and they won't eat
candy any more, because last week New
Jersey young woman, on visit to Wash
ington. received a box of candy from her
"'beau" as she was leaving the national
capital to nibble on daintily as she hustled
homeward. She got home before the box
was emptied, and then she hit it again.
But it was one time too many, and the ap-
parently succulent, saccharine and sincere
chocolate drop in its sober suit of brown
exploded with terrific force in her mouth
and blew pearly teeth, and jaw bone splin.
ters, and rosy cheeks, and dimpled chin
and cherry lips, and peachblow skin all
over the town of New Horeb and clear Out
into the suburbs.
Nobody who saw the dreadful sight had
the slightest idea that there was so mucf
in a chocolate drop Of the regulation di
mensions, but there was, and the girl got al
out of it that could be got in the brief timt
at her disposal. OF course report of thu

WINNEBAGo CITY, Mimi, Feb. 3.-News

her injuries of Miss Lent. the young school
teacher who was brutally assaulted by the
Crnzer family a lew days since. Miss Lent

New York World: Several lunch rooms
in this city supply quick service because the
patron helps himself. All he has to do is
to satisfy his appetite and thirst at buffets
and then pay his check as he rushes out
This remarkable system is known as
Trusting -to-a-man's s-honesty plan of quick
lunch service" The first restaurant of the
kind was started in Broadway, near Cort-
landt street, several years ago 1t succeed
ed so well that Others initiated its methods,
AS the names of the places imply. the
owners trust entirely to a mans honesty to
be repaid Tor what he has eaten. Many
men throughout the lower part of the CITY
do not have time during their business hours
to take luncheon, especially where they
have to go to a restaurant hang up their
hats and coats. sit down to a table and wait
to be served, and TO these men the new plan
is q boon.
When a man plunges into one of these
palaces at noon he makes dash for one of
the long counters, where delicacies are
plenti;ully spread. When his eye strikes
some tid-bit that suits his fancy he helps
himself to it, and at the same time orders a
beverage from one of the white-aproned
men standing about. 1t is either coffee,
tea, chocolate or milk, and in less than ten
seconds it is standing before him on the
sideboard. not in a dainty cup and saucer,
but in big. plain mug.
Thus he stands up before the little space
on the counter which, tor the time being
belongs to him, and munches away at his
food with frequent sips from his mug.
When he gets his first selection down his
throat he walks to another sideboard and
selects some other kind of delicacy.
OF course there are clerks and cashiers in
each of the restaurants, but none OF them
seem to pay any attention to the wander
ings of a customer. He is free to go where
he pleases and-select everything and any
thing he likes.
In little place of this sort in Nassau
street the customer walks to the desk ate:
he has finished eating, or more probably
while chewing his last mouthful, and says
to the cashier:
Two ham sandwiches, custard and
coffee"
''Twenty-tive cents, says the cashier, and
the bill is paid.
The regular customers, however, know
the prices of all the goods, and walking to
the counter lay down Q bill and say,
Twenty out" or thirty out, as the case
may be, or perhaps the exact change.
In Broadway lunch rooms the customer
has to figure out his own bill. To every
dish is attached card announcing its price
and on the walls are hung placards giving
the prices OF all the dishes.
When customer has finished his lunch
he goes up to little rack, takes out check
from one of the rows, throws it on the CASH
iers desk with the amount ofmoney it ca I.s
for and walks out. The correctness OF tie
check is never questioned. The customers
word Is taken every time. The men who
have put up their cash to back this system
claim that the percentage of customers who
deliberately cheat the house and get more
to eat than they pay for is very small.

ROLLING MILLS SHUT DOWN.
This Action the Result OF an Attempt to
Reduce Puddler's Wages.

This Action the Result OF an Attempt to
Reduce Puddler's Wages.
PoTTsTowN, Pa, Feb. 3.-This morning
the entire iron works of the Ellis & Lessig
Steel and Iron company in this city shut
down, throwing seven hundred men out of
work. This action was taken because of a
contemplated reduction in the wages of
puddlers of from 81 to $3.50 ton to go into
effect to-day. During the past two weeks
conferences have been held, but an agree
ment could not be reached. The men Of
fered to accept 1915, while the company
refused to grant the offer. President Les
sig, of the company, says the unfavorable
and unsatisfactory condition of the iron
trade at the present time justifies the reduc-
ton. The price paid in Reading for pud-
ding is 81 per ton. In Pittsburg the price
is S. and $3.50 per ton.
FOLLOWED THEIR EXAMPLE.
READING, Pa, Feb. 3.-The puddlers of
the Brooke Iron Company of Birdsboro,
this county, have refused to accept the pro-
posed red uction OF 25 cents from $3 rs
to $3.50 per ton and the rolling mill closed
down to-day. The stopping of work in the
rolling mill also necessitates the closing of
the nail factory. About 450 hands are
thrown out of employment. The firm stat
eQ tnat wages were cut IN accordance with
similar action on the part of Ellis & Lessig
at PottstoWn.
REDUCTIONS MADE.
BETHLEHEM, Pa, Feb. 3.-One thousand
employees at the steel mill of the Bethle-
hem Iron company suffered reduction in
wages averaging 10 per cent. Depression in
the trade is attributed as the cause.
CLEVELAND Ohio, Feb. "a reduction of
about 10 per cent has been made in the

furnace, the property of the Union Rolling
Mill company, taking effect to-day. The
