Junior Partner Gives Advice to New
iy Welded Clerk.
The young man had returned from
his wedding trip and was again at his
desk in the Office.
1t was the day after his return that
the junior partner called him to his
desk and said:
Nov that you're married, Mr..
Quilts, trust you will be considerate
in your treatment of me-"
II don't quite understand you, sir"
exclaimed the young man in surprise.
ooh, it's little early, / know" adj
mitted the junior partner, "but there's
nothing like taking time by the fore
lock. I suppose you haven't been out
late at night YETI"
Certainly not. sir"
And it's none of my business if you
have. But when you do stay out some
night be considerate. Remember that
| have reputation for fairness and
humane treatment of everybody in this
Office that | would like to retain.
Don't tell your wife that you're sorry
you're late, but that that slave driver
at the office piled work upon you to
such an extent that you had to work
right into the night; don't tell her that
the tyrant you work under told you
that you would have to post all the
books in the Office before leaving for
the night. Just invent some other
excuse, you know"
The young man thought the matter
over for minute or two and then
asked anxiously:
well, if | should be late what shall
l say?"
"Oh, put it on the senior partner,
as | do. He can stand it."-London

Holiday Cheer.
Now let's be gay and festive
With true autaumnal cheer.
And set the fireplace blazing
All steadily and clear,
And as we watch with smiling
The flames that upward roll,
Well even toast the Earons
Who rule the price of coal.
Come set the roast before us,
And we will eat our fill,
And bid the traveller welcome
With heartiest good will.
But, if he will not tarry,
Well still feel some relief
Considering how Chicago
Has raised the price of beef
