He Wanted No Weeping.

She was a dainty looking thing, and
the old gentleman appeared to be pre-
possessed in her favor right from the
start. but there was evidently some
thing that made him pause.
Look here" he said, in his blunt
fashion. Il like you and your refer
ences are all right. You run the type
writer as if you knew all there is to
know about it, and you don't look like
a girl who would be sick every third
day and want to get away an hour OF
two early all the rest of the time; but
before 1 engage you L want to have a
clear understanding with you on one
subject
Yes, SIR" she replied, looking at him
inquiringIy.
"Of course" he explained. II expect
you will be perfectly satisfactory, but
if you are not there must be no doubt
about my right to discharge YOU"
Certainly not
If want you to go I'll just have one
of the clerks put a note ON your desk
or leave it with the cashier for you, and
you're 20 take that as final"
Naturally" she said, looking at him
in some surprise.
You're not to enter any protest or
file any objections" he persisted, land
most of all you're not to weep"
'Why-I suppose 1 can ask you
WHY
You can't ask me thing" he broke
in. IF you get note asking you to
quit you're just to put on your things
and walk out without a whimper or
question of any kind. Is that under
stood?"
1T is she replied.
Have I your promise to live up to
that agreement"
You have. But it is such an extra
ordinary request that I-I''-
Young woman" said the old man
impressively, I've been in business
here for fifty years, and up to the time
woman got a good foothold in the bust
ness world I was in the habit of engag-
ing and discharging clerks as seemed to
me best from the standpoint of nv
business. In an unguarded moment,
however | was induced to hire young
woman to run typewriter for me, and
after l had found that she wasn't sat
isfactory to me it took me over eight
weeks to discharge her. I left a note
on her desk, and she promptly came in
and wept on mine. l turned the Job
over to various subordinates, but each
time she came into my private office
to do her weeping, and inside of a week
she had the whole force wrought I'D to
a point where business was being neg
lected and she was still drawing SAL
airy just the same. Woman in business
may be all right, but when it comes to
getting her out of business somebody
else can have the job. However. if
you'll make a solemn promise to go
without single weep if you don't suit.
I'll try you. Chicago Post.

"Auid Robin Gray"

Lady Anne Lindsay wrote "Auld
Robin Gray" when she was n. 1t was
published anonymously in 1716, and
various persons claimed the authorship.
Lady Anne did not acknowledge it was
her own until two years before her
DEATH when she wrote to Sir Walter
Scott and confded the history of the
ballad to him. 1t appears that the
gifted lady was induced to write the
song by a desire to see an old Scottish
air, THE bridegroom graf when the
sun gaed DOOM fitted with words more
suitable than the ribaldry which, for
want of better, had been sung to it.
The name Of Aud Robin Gray" was
taken from an ancient herd of Belcar-
res. Lady Anne was a daughter of
James Lindsay, fifth Earl of Balcarres.
She married Andrew Barnard, son of
Thomas, Bishop of Limerick, and they
went out to the Cape, where he died in
1907. Lady Anne returned to London
and lived with her sister in Berkeley
Square until 1912. The sisters house
was a literary center, and was fire.
quented by Burke, Sheridan, Windham.
Douglas and the Prince of Wales, who
were all habitual visitors. Lady Anne
won the lifelong attachment of the
Prince Regent. She died in 1928, in her
74th year. No one has ever questioned
Lady Anne Barnard's claim to the au-
thorship of the words of AUD Robin
Gray" and though 1 am not going to
cast doubt upon the word of the writer
at this late day. it is necessary to men
ton that prior not only to the appear
ance but TO the writing of the world
famous song there was a French ballad
extant containing the gist of the story
and the plot, by Paradis de Moncrif,
entitled Les Constantes Amours d'Alix

Miss Come is a notable convert to
the Irish cause. All her relatives are
anti-Irish, as was Miss Come until
few years since, when she was present
at some evictions in the north of Ire
land. Then she became as intense a
home ruler as she was conservative be-
fore. Miss Come is young, handsome,
and her social position is Of the very
best. The most intense bitterness ex-
lists between the conservative families
Of Great Britain and the home rulers,
and since Miss Come has given herself
UP wholly TO the Irish cause, she could
not, if she were dead, be cut off more
hopelessly from her family and former
circle of associates

Will be needed for success in managing

and little preliminary practice would
also seem to be essential to good re-
suits. 1t is not every Jack tar, either

reason to believe in the practicabihty
