A DIFFERENcE IN PRICE.
1From the waghIngton STAR

(F'rom the Washington starr
Four or five Washington correspondents

have been the rule of the company that he
should use it. However that may be, l
could not do otherwise, says John S. Dur
ham in the February atlantic, than remark
the fact that the porter deferentially held

act Of discrimination l had ever observed
in the work-day world. was on train
between New York and Boston. The por-
ter was only an agent in business trans
action Of corporation; but the agent at
the station, who had thrown out the check
with business-like dizziness. and the con-
ductor who had bristSly exchanged that
check for another, were also only agents
in the transaction. In the daily inter

ARMOTTR,s WEAKNEss

Philip D. Armour, the great Chicago
pork packer, has one popularity that is
altogether agreeable to his employees
He has a weakness for making valuable
presents at an opportune moment For
the last ten years whenever he has found
it necessary to call one of his represen-
tatives from some distant point to the
home office at Chicago, he has always
made it practice to begin the confer
ence with him at Z O'Clock, in his office
at the stock yards. This is Mr.. Armour s
hour for going to work,
After the interview Mr.. Armour looks
his visitor over carefully and inquiries
whether or not he happens to have the
time with him. If the employee replies
that he does not carry watch he is
promptly presented with an order on
leading Chicago jeweler, with instruc-
lions to have the timepiece engraved
as gift from Philip D. Armour to what
ever his name may be.
If the fortunate one is possessed OF a
watch he is instructed to get new
suit Of clothes or brand new overcoat.
For the first few years this plan was al
lowed to proceed on the lines laid down
by Mr.. Armour, but of late those of his
men who prefer watches to overcoats
have managed to leave their timepieces
AFT home when they have been summoned
to a conference.
It is stated as a fact that In no in
stance has the millionaire packer neg
lected to bestow an expensive gift on
those of his employees whom he has
called to Chicago ON business. The
watch preference among his men has
come to be very noticeable, and Mr.
Armours custom is go generally
known among Armour men that a cali
to Chicago generally brings out the re-
mark: "That means watch from the
old man, and 1 can't get there too
quick. New York Journal.
