The BoU Who Watches the Clock.

A boy who has been employed in a
store for two years, but who is look
ing for a job, he having been discharg-
ed recently, has almost got a place
several times, but when the man
who was going to employ him went
to his former employer to ask about
him, he got the reply to his inquiries
as follows: 20, he is honest and all
that, but he is clock watcher and
whistle jumper +" To many people
that reply would be unintelligible.
but to employers of men and bows,
and girls, for that matter, it means
much. 1t means that half an hour
before quitting time. the boy begins
to watch the clock, and wonder What
has got into it to make it go so slow.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1900-04-26

Every minute ne glances al the clock,
and ten minutes before it is time to
quit he begins to get ready, neglects
the business on hand, and when the
whistle finally blows as the signal for
quitting, he starts for the door, and
you couldn't catch him with hound
dog. He may not want to 90 any
where in particular, and may loaf on
a corner after he gets out, or he may
90 to billiard room, or he may do
anything he likes, but the fact remains
that he wanted to get out of the place
where he worked, and get out quick,
and the chances are that his employ
er or some trusted, patient assistant
finished up the business that the boy
left unfinished. and had his opinion
of the boy.
But he got out when the whistle
blew and that is all he cared, and
the chances arc he will not give the
business of his employer a thought
until the whistle blows the next morn
ing, and he viii not hurry half as
much to get to work as he did to get
away. And all the time the fool boy
does not know that the employer is
sizing him up, and knows that he
does not take any interest in the bus
mess, except at quitting time and
pay day. Some day when business
is a little slack the whistle jumper is
called into the office and told that he
needn't watch the clock any more,
and that he is free to 60 away out of
hearing of the whistle and that the
house will get along with one less
worker, and he is indignant. He
wonders why the other boy is not dis
charged, the boy who, when there
was work to do, always remained un-
til it was done, and who got around
a little before the time in the morn
ing and got his books out, and his
desk busted before the whistle blew,
but chat boy remains, and becomes
part of the business.
The average employer wants boys
and men who imagine if they are away
the business loses something, boys
who can find things to do without be-
ing told. If the Herald was going into
the usiness of giving advice to a boy
at work in place of business, it
would be not to look at the clock un-
less to find out if it were time to take
medicine, and when the whistle blows
to act as though it was a great sur
prise, and to work little longer, and
not hurry to get away, but to hurry
in the morning to get to work. The
employer will notice il, and he viii
be pleased You can't fool the en-
ployer much. He knows all that is
going on, and when a boy gets wearied
with work, and tears the door off the
hinges to get out some day he does
not come back
