A Charm.
Discriminating Against women.

Discriminating Against Women.
II see you have new bookkeeper,n
said lady to the proprietor Of q large
mercantile establishment. q,
"Yes,n he replied; 1--WE thought we
would try woman. We have had
lots of trouble with our men book
keepers. They are apt to stay out late
nights, and when they do they come
here in the morning so stupid and out
of temper that is impossible to do
anything with them; besides, some
times they indulge in petty gambling
and other vices, and are often short of
money. This leads them to overdraw
their salary, if we will permit them to
do 80, and have people running here
with bills-or did, until we made it
:ule that the first man who had bill
sent here should be dismissed. Yes,
we thought we would try woman
The lady smiled. Here was q
chance.
"How do you like herr"
Capital" was the reply. "She's
clear-headed, obliging, always on
time, neat and tidy, and attends to
her business"
"Quite an array of virtues. You
evidently haven't lost anything by the
exchange?"
Indeed we haven't. She's worth
one and half of the man we had.n
"Does she get one and half times

quiry.
The man colored a little, and fldget-
ed o little more. Evidently that was
not such an agreeable question.
swell, no." he said. "We never
pay women as much as we pay
men," = go
"Why not? You say she does her
work much better" G%
ooh, well, it isn't the custom; that's
ALL" said the man.
He turned away, evidently not anx-s
ious to prolopg the conversation.
And this is regular state Of things.
Because she is woman, she must
take about two thirds Of the pay given
to q man, even though, according to
the employers own confession, she Is
worth one and half of the man
whose place she takes. This is rather
questionable comment on the justice
Of the average business man, and
might furnish the text for q good
many interesting discourses.

made his first visit to the city he saw
and heard a great many new and strange
things, but he was always wary in his
his comments.

ticed him into a restaurant, and, lead
ing him to a small table, proceeded to
order some eclairs, delicacy of which
she was extremely fond. a
~ know you'll like them, grandpa"
she said, coaxingly, and the old gentle
man bravely attacked the unfamiliar
object.
Isn't it delicious, grandpa9" in
quired the little girl, seeing strange
expression come over her grandfather's
face as he took his first mouthful.

Ancient way to Force Confessions.

In remote village in Hungary a
husband and his wife We're found muir
dered and their man servant being
arrested confessed the deed but stated
that three brothers-neighbor of the
old couple-had persuaded him to mur-
der them and had divided the spoils-
something like five hundred pounds
with him. These three brothers were
Immediately arrested. The judge, our
Vienna correspondent says, did an un-
usual thing on the day of the funeral.
He brought them in chains to the
churchyard, placed them near the open
grave and bade the priest in his address
praise the good qualities of the victims
and end with the startling words: "And
here stand their vile murderers at their
grave" This was done and the judge
in the meantime watched the three
brothers faces to see if they looked
guilty. This form of examination caused
some Indignation among the people of
the neighb borhood.-London News.

Wages Cut at Otis Steel works.

CLEVELAND, July 15.-The Otis Steel
Company gave notice Thursday of 10
to 20 per cent. reduction of wages of its
employees, to take effect tomorrow.
Depression of trade is given as the
cause and the management states that
if trouble comes from the men because
of the cut the works will be shut down
altogether. When running full turn
the Otis people employ 1000 men, but
now only about $50 men are at work.
The wages paid have been higher than
at Pittsburgh, it is claimed, and the
reduction brings them no lower than
the present Pittsburgh standard

A late archbishop of Dublin, noted
for his originality and love of joke,
was one day walking along road when
he came across three tramps lying on a
bank by the roadside.
They were thus addressed by his
grace:
81 would be willing to give half a
crown to the LATEST OF you, if l could
tell which Of you is most entitled
to it."
One of them Immediately jumped up
and said:
"Give it to me; l haven't done any
work for six months"
The second came forward and
claimed it, saying he had not worked for
year.
While these two were disputing about
the honor of being the LATEST, the third
man, who had not even moved slcepily
said:

day upon complaint made in an indi-

Topics of interest to Buckeyes at
Home and Abroad.


LIMA, July 1s.-A law suit involving
ST2, 900 has been commenced in United
States district court at Toledo against
Samuel A. Baxter, president of the
Lima Natural Gas Company, of this
city. The plaintiffs are S. S. Lang
baugh, A. A. Hopkins and William Cor
don. The petition alleges that the
company purchased from the plaintiffs
gas territory in the Auglaize county
fields for the sum of $4,000, $4,000 of
the amount being paid. Plaintiffs also
claim that they were the owners of all
the oil and that this defendant sold to
the amount of S5O,000. They sue for
the remaining $4,000 due them on the
original sale and also the $50 900 for oil
sold, with interest on both amounts.
Baxter states that there is nothing inl
the suit and that they never made any
claim to him or the company for any
amount after the sale was made.
