( les; was still honest, and meant to
restore that money, but must first be
satisfied as to the ownership.
Next day, to my great surprise and
also to my qualification, no advertise
ment appeared. 1t was my duty as an
honest man to either advertise or take
the money to the lost property Office Of
the railroad line. You will agree with
me that it was, and yet brought for
ward dozen arguments to the contra
~ and didn't do either one. When a
week had gone by and no advertise
ment appeared, began to look upon
the money as mine. In three days
more felt sure it was mine. At the
end Of the second week / was figuring
what use to make Of it. 1t wasn't eX-
actly that the find had knocked out all
the principles 30 years had built up,
but that ] had never before been tempt
ed. Without temptation had argued
only one side of the question. After a
week had gone by I dared not return
the package to the railroad, and after
three weeks had passed with no adver
tisement the money seemed to belong
to me. / said to myself that ought to
advertise it, but also argued that If
the loser hadn't interest enough to seek
to recover such sum Of money how
could / be expected to? Unless you
are strictly honest man, as knew
myself to be, you have no idea Of the
many arguments that can be advanced
in favor Of dishonesty.
At the end Of three weeks had de-
termined to add the find to my bank
account and give it up when called up
on. Aye, would even pay interest on
the sum and any extra expense the
loser had been put to. This seemed
more than fair to me, and figured
that my honesty had not suffered one
tot. The money would have gone to
the bank, as per programme, but my
valet stepped in. He was not an hon.
est man, as am deeply grieved to say.
he could not stand temptation. Com
ing across the package by accident, he
tucked it under his arm and walked off,
and have never since set eyes on him.
I could not well go to the police and
ask them to hunt for him, and so he
had a clear road. After he had disap-
peared I could not advertise for the
real owner and let him take the trail,
and so the dishonest rascal was free to
head for America, where, am told,
honesty is scarce article among
men. AS matter Of fact, no owner
ever came forward or has not up to
date. That makes the money mine or
gives me the guardianship Of it, but as
It is in the hands of dishonest valet
and as daN not put the police after
him am $4,000 out Of pocket and have
nothing to show. for my sterling integ-
.ity of character. Sometimes in re-
Viewing this case doubt if it pays to

clear conscience is ample reward for |

How the President of the
International Air Engine
Company Saw Justice
Done to His Workmen.

Give found way to prevent favor
I 1tism in my factory" said the president
Of the International Air Engine COM
pany. His friends who were dining
with him at the club, both Of them be-
ing manufacturers, looked interested.
"In the old days." he went on, when
every little shop manufactured it's OVID
goods, the proprietor had at most a
couple of apprentices. He knew them
well, of course; and watched them
every day at their work. If one Of
them got good idea, he was at once
given credit for it. But under present
conditions such thing is not possible.
There are 1000 men in my factory. I
don't know half Of them by sight. It is
impossible that l should. If one Of
these men gets a good idea or makes
valuable suggestion, how am to know
that he gets the proper credit or recog-
milton? Trust to my foremen and man.
ayers, you say. But you can't always
trust to foremen and managers any
more than you can always trust men
occupying other positions But I've
found way to make sure that the
right man gets the credit for all he
does.
'This is the way it came about: In
to every International air engine 60 q
pieces which are exactly alike. They
are stamped out Of sheet metal by
punch press at the rate Of so min
ute. Ever since we started making
engines these pieces have then been
turned over to the men on the filing
job, who fled three little notches in
each piece with hand file When we
started making our engines, these little
notches were the close working parts
of the machine and were therefore fled
by hand with great care.
zone day man on the file job got
an, idea. he knew that the pieces he
was filing were no longer the close
working parts Of the machine. He
wondered why the punch press fixtures
were not changed so that the little
notches should be cut out at the same
time with the rest Of the pieces. He
didn't stop to think that perhaps If he
made. such a suggestion the nine men
on the filing bench might be thrown
out Of work. at least in that depart
ment. AT any rate, he spoke to his
foreman about it.
What's the use,' he said, of doing
all this work by hand when it might
as well all be done at the same time
by the punch pressY

that he ought to have thought Of that

it was balmy feeling and that as I
hooked around upon my fellow men and
knew that not over one in ten thousand

Several queer things happened me one
June day. l had been down to Oxford
on little business, and as l settled my
bill at the hotel previous to departure
the landlord made a mistake of shil-
ling in my favor. called his attention
to it, of course. l had to make change
with cabby at the depot, and he would
have beaten himself out Of fourpence
had I not called his attention to the
mistake. A ticket seller rarely makes q
mistake, at least in favor of traveller,
but on this occasion was given quite
a bit of change too much, and though

My interest was languid until the
parcel was opened. had anticipated
nothing of value, but what did be-
hold? In that parcel or package were
five neat packages Of Bank Of England
notes, each one containing $1,000. There
wasn't SO much as scrap Of paper
with them, nothing whatever to prove
ownership or tell how they had got
there. The wrapper was common
brown paper and had been used before.
1t was a queer find. and couldn't
make out whether the money belonged
to the passenger who had just left or
some one before him. had no idea Of
robbery, but laid it all to carelessness.
After inspecting the bills retied the
package and smiled bit at the con-
sternation Of the loser. His loss would
be only temporary, however. The pack
age would be handed over in London,
and he would merely have to prove
property to obtain possession. He
might wish to reward me, but / would
notyaccept penny.
IT was only when the tain ran into

mind. AS the porter unlocked the door

mortgage taxation TO accept the proposed one
half of per cent tax reasonable step tow
ard abolition of the existing niquitous local tax
on mortgages as personal property Is to be re-
gretted. 1t is not step toward abolition but
a step in the opposite direction. Once placed on
the statute book it will sta there. 1t will af-
ford the State an income not observed by tax
payers in their annual tax rate, and no legis-

ever consent to part with So convenient an aid

the average local rate imposed personal

than bread, even when 'he acceptance Of
the half loaf is the confession of a vicious prin-

be secured If the fight against the half loaf Is
