STRIKING A MATCH.

Showing How Little Things May nj
Times Decide "A Mans Fortune.
The truth of the saying that little
things may oftentimes play an impor
tant part to mems affairs when the
men least expect it was illustrated one
day recently.
"See that young man over there" re-
marked an Insurance friend of his,
pointing to one of his clerks working
away industriousIy at desk in anoth-
er room. well he got his place in my
Office through the striking of match.

had made it known a few days before
that | needed another clerk, and he
had heard of it. However, | had al
most made up my mind to take on
young man who had been to see me
the day before and was about to tell
the last applicant so, when he pulled
match from one of his pockets to light
a cigar he had been smoking, hut
which had gone out.
Sorry, sir he said, balancing him
self on one foot, while he lifted the
other so as to admit of his striking the
match on the heel of his shoe. Sorry,
for | would like very much TO work for
you, and | think | would have made
you a good clerk
''The match striking incident made
me think so too Right at the young
mans elbow was a great Italian mar
BILE column upon which were the marks
showing where many matches had been
struck by vandals too utterly indiffer
ent to the rights of others to refrain
from indelibly stamping their vandal
ism upon property to restore which
would have cost hundreds of dollars
1t would have been the most natural
thing in the world for many a man to
have scratched that match on the mar
BILE column, and the fact that this
young man chose to use the heel of his
shoe instead showed that he was
thoughtful and conscientious, two very
excellent traits | was so impressed
that | told him to come and see me.
