 ever of the responsibilities Of their po- sition. It is to be regretted that the need of bread and butter makes it nee essary for other people to work for them, but such is the case. If man S ability. his hard work and his capital make it possible for him to become all employer, he should never SC far for get his manhood as to have no regard for the feelings of people who work for him. These people must work, and the dependent to some tX- tent upon him for their iiv- ing lie can, if he choose, take ad- vantage of his position, and use his power in being unreasonable and dis agreeable toward them. They must submit to it, or take their chances of getting employment elsewhere, and to get employment is sometimes a very difficult thing tC do.
 ALTOGETHER TOO GRUFF A MAN
 NER
 There are employers who order their men about as if these men were beasts of burden instead of human beings like themselves. Such 2 thing is degrad ing, both for employer and employe. A man who knows his business, and who wants to do the right thing by his em- plOyer, does not need to be addressed in 3 loud voice and gruff tones. and if a man cannot do his duty without be- ing driven to it in this way, then he deserves his dismissal the next minute. I do not mean that an employer shall politely beg his men to do their work. or shall accompany each order with smile, but 1 do believe that every man who hires another should treat him in a manly kind of a way, and when he tells him to do anything he should speak to him as he would wish tC be spoken to if he were in the en- p.oy of another. This sGapping one up so ungracicusly is not the thing for any employer to do. I know of . wO man who left off trading at one store because she disapproved of the way in which the proprietor treated his men. Rarely did he give them an order without hollering at them, and she came to the conclusion that she would leave her money with some dealer ho knew enough to treat his men de- gently.
 LET EMPLOYES BE SELF RE
 SPECTING.
 Just as in going into home, one soon finds out if there is g harmoni- ous relation among it's members. so in a business establishment he soon de- | tects the feeling existing between the 1 employer and employees. In some | 5 tcres the men know that while they do their work faithfully they will be | we'll treated and be secure in their po- | sitions. The good treatment they re- | ceive, and the sense of security which | they have, give rise to a feeling of self | respect which shows in all they de. | While in other stores the men show hat their services are these Of fear. | 4 service of fear is always poor one. | Fear robs a man Of that freedom in his nature which is so necessary for him 10 have in order to do his best work The employer who holds the lash of fear over his men has not discovered he secret of how to get the most out If them. He may think he has, but lssuredly he has not. If any man wishes to make eye-servGnts of his .mplOyes let him make them fear him. But are eye-servants the kind of en- )lcyes a man most desires? Is it not ar more desireble to have men who Ire interested in their work, and who ind pleasure in doing all they can fer he interests of their employer because le shows them that their interests are lis too? Some employers realize that T crder to do a successful business for
 number of years in a community 1t s net only necessary to win the good will of their customers, but also to lave the good will of their employees. 70 this end these employers treat their nen rightly, and endeavor to make hem so well satisfied with their posi- iCns that they will want to remain in hem for a long time. Contented, well aid and interested service pays bet er than any ether in the long run.
