FRANKLIN, La, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1901

at the settlement Of the devastating
war between these two republics. This
meant an overhauling of titles and
consequent disputes. One OF these
centered on Chace's properties, with
the result that he has during the last
twelve years spent more time in the
courts Of Chile than he has at mining
and after u long, tedious legal battle
has at last wiped out any possible
question as to his ownership. Mean
while his great properties have beer
producing wealth. and In spite Of the
fact that Chilean lawsuit is even
more expensive than a struggle of the
same kind In the United States, he has
placed to his credit with English
bankers q fortune estimated to exceed
five hundred thousand pounds.
In his affluence he has not forgotten
the source Of his wealth, and IS con-
stant contributor to the funds Of the
church"

HIS TRUE WORTH.

|; gate threw him a sop In the shape OF
~ some pelf,
A,nd straightway the man fell In love
with himself;
Grew arrogant, boastful, looked down
on mankind;
Imagined, poor fool, he had greatness
Of mind.
The world paid him homage, Its doors
opened wide;
He swaggercd and struttcd, all swclled
up with pride;
"The world recognizes my value" said
he.
II dd-but his value In dollars, you
Fate danced him n while on the end OF
her string;
Then, tired Of the sport, she gave him
fling,
And stripped Of his tinsel, bereft Of his
cash,
lie fell mid the rubbish-just ev'ryday
trash.

Perforated Watch Pockets.

Writing from RoSeland, y. G., sub
scriher says: For the last year or
two have had in mind the benefit to
be derived from pocket for carry
ING a watch either in wa;stcoat or
trousers. which had perforation in the
bottom. for the purpose Of letting all
dust. particles of sand. lint or dirt Of
anv kind pass through. Scarcely any
one, on taking watch from the
pocket and turning the latter inside
out. can fail to find a greater or less
quantity of such dirt. This is not good
for the watch. rs comparatively few
watch cases are absolutely dust proof.
Carving a watch In such a lot OF dirt
and dust is sure to result in some Of
the dirt working through the case"

CHOOSING OFFICE BOYS
Man Who Employs 200 Tells How HI
sizes Them Up."

George Sexton. who has charge OF
200 boys In big department store
loves to talk about boys. Boys are
not necessary evil at this establish
ment." he said; they are the materia
out Of which men are to be made"
'IIow do you choose your cash
boys, Mr. Sexton:' asked.
MY first question is: Where is the
boy" You. see, it all depends upon
the boy himself You can Judge the
boy better from his appearance. his
manner, his dress, and the way ht
comes into an office. than from any
description Of him. Character shows
forth in little things-you can't hide 1t
| take boys by what you might al
most term first impressions. l have
sized a boy up before he asks me foi
a place. The removal or non-removal
Of the hat on entering the office, the
respectful and self-respecting way In
which he meets my look and queS-
tiOnS. all give me an idea Of his bring
ing up and the stuff that is In him
AS to appearance, I look at once for
these things; polished shoes, clean
clothes and clean face, hands and
finger nails. Good clothes are not re-
quisities; boys clothes may be
ragged, his shoes have holes in them,
yet his appearance may still give evil
dencc of desire to be neat. l VIII
not employ a cigarette smoker II l
know 1t. AS for reference, boys
teacher is the best reference he can
have. The recommendation which
good boy in our employ gives boy
applying for a position always re-
ccives marked consideration.
Good cash boys don't stay cash
boys long. Some lads who came here
as cash boys in 1897 are now junior
statesmen. Others have good positions
throughout the house.
A cash boys first advance Is to
stock boy, office boy or cadet. A stock
boy attends to the bOy-work in what
ever stock he is in A cadet is gen
eral utility boy: an office hoy works
around some one OF the offices OF the
house We promote according to
merit, length Of service. or both COM
bined. Wherever possible, we try to
give our oldest employe the preference;
but if one boy who has not been here
as long as another shows greater fit
ness for vacancy, In justice to the
house and the boy he gets II. cash
boy here gets two dollars and fifty
cents week; when he has been here
three months, three dollars: or. II he
has shown marked ability. three dol
lars and fifty cents.
"Thc great trouble with the Ameri-
can boy is. he doesn't stick. After he
has worked hard at one place for six
months or a year, just as he is in line
for promotion he throws up his pros
poets because some other firm offers
fifty cents week more; and OF he
starts all over again in new house,
whose ways and business he must
learn.
1--WE like boyish boys-full OF fun.
The livcliest are generally the best
workers. The boy who lOiters when
sent on Il message the boy who sneaks
around the house avoiding work, and
the boy who Is always late, are the
boys who lose positions" Success.

mending or going about bedraggled, you
need the new roof book the American Tin
Plate Company is giving away.
1t is the only book of its kind ever
printed for free distribution. 1t is posi-
BILE to buy it's several features, but they
are scattered through a number of stand

as the saying goes.
This book is entitled Under an NJ f
Roof" 1t traces the history of roof max
ing. suggests the name and use of the
best of all roofing, tells how and why
American makers produce most of the
roof coverings of this old globe, and scores
of things every house owner or prospec-
tive builder should know. Chief among
these features are simple but exact direc-
lions for constructing tin roof that will
last half a century, directions for paint
ing. and several tables showing how
many sheets of tin it will take to cover
any roof.
The cover of the book is in colors, and
shows a view of an angle roof on a brick
house on one side, and a fiat roof on a
frame house on the reverse. 1t is a very
handsome and very useful book. A copy

TEMPLETON

The barn on the farm of Moses Le-
land, about a quarter of a mile from
Templeton Centre, was burned al
about o'clock this forming. The build
ing was full of hay and grain, and
sheltered eight COWS, four horses and
several hogs, all of which were
burned. An effort was mode to save
the COWS, but, as they were fastened
by chains, it was impossible to free
them in time. Mr.. Leland had Just
purchased some new farming imple-
ments and several new sets Of har-
ness, all of which were lost. At no
time was the dwelling house, which is
only a few rods from the barn, in
danger, as the wind blew the flames
in the opposite direction. The barn
building was insured, but the losses
on the contents and live stock are un-
covered

Leicester Citizens Feel Confident
That WorceSter'S Best News
paper Was One Placed Under
Cornerstone
TELEGRAM ABSURDLY
CLAIMED THE HONOR
Those Who Saw Contents of Box
For New ChurCh's Cornerstone
Have Not Said What NeWSpa-
per Was in 1t and There Was
No Need

Special to The Spy
Leicester, Oct H. - Another Telegram
fake was exploded this afternoon. The
Telegram reporter gloried in saying that
the Telegram" was the only paper
placed under the cornerstone of the new
Congregational Church. There was no
authority for printing the statement.
When Charles Denny who was marshal
of ceremonies yesterday, read the list OF
articles that were placed in the copper
box he did not say which newspaper was
placed in the box. The Spy man asked at
the time which paper had been honored
with a place under the cornerstone, and
Mr.. Denny said
1.-THE building committee will not d1-
Vulge that and no one will know until the
church is torn down."
The Spy reporter talked the matter over
with the officials of the church today, and
they said that any Worcester newspaper
might be the honored one, but the name
of that one they refused to tell
No one here can conceive that the Tele-
gram was the paper placed under the
cornerstone of the church. Was any such
thing believed there certainly would be
great commotion. There IS no doubt in
the minds of the citizens that The Spy is
the paper that rests under the corner
stone.
