RuIes for the Office-Roy.

There is a deal Of sound wisdom packed into
an article by Edward w. Box treating on THE
Boy In the Ocffie' In the August Ladies' Home
Journal. These rules by Mr.. Box are particu-
larly commended TO Office boys:
Be the first at the Office in the morning and
the last TO leave at night Don't have your hat
ready to snap up and run for the door the mo
ment the cl ock points to the hour OF closing.
Let your employer see you at your desk when
he goes. Never fear an extra half-hour or
hour.
Whatever is given you TO do, no matter how
triilIng 1t may seem, do it thoroughly. DO It as
il il were the only act OF the whole day.
Be at your desk as much as you can; be away
from 1t only when i is absolutely necessary
Don't play; don't fool at the office; you are
not paid for that. Don't stay OUT at lunch
longer than is necessary.
Ask 10 be "Off" only when necessity, such as
sickness OF death. demands it.
Don't eat during business hours; have
neither candy, nor apples, nor nuts in your
desk.
Don't cut out pictures and decorate your
desk or the wall near you with them.
Don't sulk because your mother sends you to
bed early. She does it that you may be fresh
in the morning. and better able TO do good
days work. You need all the sleep you can
Be truthful Don't think ga little lie" won't
hurt. II will. just as much as big one. Liars.
large or small, never make success In bust
ness. Stick 10 the truth, even II you lose by IT..
You will gain by it later. Be able TO look
everybody straight In the face.
Keep your boy friends away from the office.
They have no business there and you have no
right TO have Them there. Your employer pays
you to receive his calerS-not yours.
Be polite to everybody-Io the peddler as
we'll as to your employers best customer. PO-
likeness costs nothing, and is more valuable
than many things that cost much.
Do your very best in everything. When you
do that you do all you can, but be sure it Is
your very best. Then will many things come
to you, and you will soon outdistance other
boys who DO as little as they can. or only do
things In a halfhearted way. Never mind
what other boys do-be you thorough in every
thing. II you are that you have the key TO sue.

them to learn how to draw a correct figure,
but they will not try, because IL is tedious
and requires constant work"
Regarding drawing Mr.. Crane is ranked
by artists as wonder indie pendent of his
remarkable strength and daintiness In
treatment of color. He took complete
course in anatomy in an Eastern medical
college, and subsequently, having some
doubts about the structure of a horse, he
gave eight months TO a close study Of
equine bones, muscles and nerves. In the
human body every part is familiar TO him,
even in terminology, its action or func-
lions we'll understood, and from this
knowledge he draws the human form in
most original way which suggests the
sculptor's method of modelling in the nude
and finally putting on drapery.

LUCKY THOMAS MURPHY.

The Sheriff's Apathy Secures Him
His Release.
The Supreme Court has released Thomas
Murphy upon writ Of habeas corpus.
Murphy was convicted of grand larceny
March /, 1889. and week afterward was
sentenced to three years in the House of
Correction. He escaped from that institu-
ton, but was recaptured and at once in
voked the aid of counsel to secure his re-
lease.
In ordering the prisoners discharge the
Supreme Court says that the term of i'm
prisonment to which Murphy was SEN
fenced is long since past and no other
authority was ever presented by the Sher-
if for holding his man in custody. Leave
was given to the Sheriff to amend his state
ment, but he failed TO do so, and under the
circumstances the Supreme Court had no
alternative but to grant the writ and order
the prisoners discharge.

How Cooper Came to Write.

Professor Brander Matthews has sketch Of
James Fenimore Cooper In st. Nicholas,
wherein he relates some interesting anecdotes.
COoper's entry into authorship was almost ac-
cldenta he says. Reading some cheap British
novel he was seized with the idea that he could
do as we'll himself, and the result was his first
book, "Precaution." published late In 1920
"Precaution" was an imitation OF the average
British novel at that time; it had merit equal TO
that of most of it's models; it was tale of life
in England and there was nothing to show that
IT'S author was not an Englishman. Indeed the
book Was repubiiShed in London and reviewed
with no suspicion OF It's American authorship
Even before the publication of the 'Pio-
neers," In which he introduced the American
Indian into fiction, Cooper planned another
story, which was as daring a novelty. In 1921
the author OF the "Waverley Novels" then
unascertained, published the PIRATE In
CO0pers presence the argument was advanced
that Scott could not be the unknown author
since he was lawyer, and this showed a
knowledge OF the ocean such as no landsman
could have. Cooper, VINO had followed the sea
himself, maintained that the pirate" showed
that Its author was not sailor, since far
greater effects could have been got out of the
same materials II the writer had been sea-
farer by profession. To prove this point Cooper
determined to write sea story Sailors there
had been In fiction before but no novel the
scene OF which was laid on the ocean: and
CoOper's friends tried TO convince him that the
public at large could not be interested In life
so technical as the seaman's.
But cooper perSeVered, and In 1924 he pub
llshed the pilot" the first saltwater novel
ever written and to this day one OF the very best.
