Advice to an Unlucky Player,

Tom Higgins used to have a place ur
at the head Of Lisbon street where the
tiger dashed his tail. The sounds there
in were the mellow rustic of the cards
the voice of the dealer saying, How
many will you have, gentlemeny" and the
forcible CALCULATIONS of the party who
failed to fill"
One night all the tables were occupied
There was a rap on the door. Higgins
with his quiet Indifference to things that
did not interest him, paid no attention to
the rapping. But the man outside was
impatient. He kept knocking.
At last Higgins went to the door, and
without unlocking it, he cried:
who are you and what do you want ~
II am So-and-so. and want to get in
and play"
The man was a notorious loser. Tom
looked around at the group In the room
Then he turned to the door and said to
the man outside:

go away. That will save you time and
US trouble"-Lewiston Journal.

" Drought 00 HkQ@
plOyee n Raise of Salary.
"a little incident occurred in our estab-
lishment the other day." said prominent
local merchant. that carried a moral
which l would like to see impressed upon
every young man entering business life.
Not long ago l employed q clerk who had
been discharged from another house in
the same line. l knew him to be COM
petent, and a little inquiry satisfied me
that his dismissal was due to a petty
conspiracy among some jealous fellow
employees. So l engaged him at a good
salary, and he has given thorough salts
faction. A few days ago one of our staff
was anxious to know what concessions
We're made by the other house to q GER
tain customer n u neighboring city. and
he went to this young man for the infor-
nation.
1.-THE clerk hesitated and looked dis
tressed and finally asked to be excused
from replying. I knew the facts, of
course he said. but it Is strictly q con-
fdential matter, and / don't think
ought to divulge it to q rival firm The
department head who questioned him
took offense at his position, which l am
sure he would not have done had he
given the subject any thought, and re-
minded him. pretty sharply, that he had
been summarily discharged and owed no
allegiance to the other establishment.
Nevertheless the young man stood firm,
and the matter was reported to me. ! Mt
once complimented him on his sense of
honor and raised his salary, which took
him completely off his feet. as he
had fully expected to be told to go.
Il wish the Importance Of cultiyating
and encouraging such standards was bet
ter understood. There are few things
more dangerous to the average business
house than the thoughtless tattling of
employees-not necessarily discharged
employees. but men who are holding good
positions and who enjoy the full conf
dence Of their superiors. Every estab-
lishment has secrets. don't mean shady
secrets, but things Of a private character.
which are as much the exclusive property
of the house as the stock on the shelves.
The majority of the clerks obtain more
or less inkling into such matters, and the
more important the subject the more
likely they are to blab it to some outsider.
Every employee ought to be made to un-
derstand that the affairs of his house and
the affairs Of his employers are things he
has no more right to give away than he
would have a right to give away their
merchandise. l have observed that
young men who proceed on this principle
are pretty certain to win esteem and sue
cess."-New Orleans Times Democrat.
