Man Who Played in the Band Lost
Good Job.
There is one story which Gov. Les
lie Nj. Shaw takes delight in telling
when called upon to speak to young
people, for it is indicative of the pol
lev which has characterized his sue
cess in life.
While in the banking business he
had occasion to hire an assistant
bookkeeper. A business man in an
adjoining town recommended a
young man, and wrote strong per-
sonal letter in his behalf. But be-
low the signature was the following:
Up. S. lie plays in the band"
The young man did no get the po-
sition.
A few days later, when the future
governor met his friend, he said:
"Why did you write that postscript?
What did you mean by itw
81 was afraid you'd hire him." was
The reply.
"lou can do but one thing at a
time" concludes the governor, in
telling the story "The man who has
time to play in the band hasn't time
10 be a frsi-class bookkeeper in a
bank." Saturday Evening Post.

WONDERFUL cnINEsE BALLs.

Little spheres which Revoivs Each In
sids Of Another
A Chinaman III San Francisco
showed me once an ivory Dallas bigas
your two fists, with siS smaller balls
inside it. 1t was the most wonderful
thing | ever saw. The Chinoman
said that the balls had been begun by
his grandfather, and that he was The
third generation to work on them.
1t begins with solid block OF
ivory. which is turned into a ball, and
then carved into lattice pattern
with tiny saw-toothed knives.
Through the latter, with other
knives that are bent in various
shapes. the second ball is carved, but
is Kept fast to the first one by thin
strip Of ivory left at the top, and by
another left at the bottom.
Then the third ball, with still
finer knives, is tackled through the
first and second ones, and so the work
goes on until all the balls are finished,
when the strips that hold them firm
are cut away, and they all revolve
freely. one inside the other.
This Chinaman said it was a com
mon thing for families to have such
balls for hundreds of years-grand-
father, father, son and grandson
working on them when they had
nothing else to do They are price
less, of course. According to the
Philadelphia Record some cheap
balls are made Of vegetable ivory, be-
ing carved while the material is soft,
like potato These, though, are not
worth more than a few dollars at the
