One of the most difflcult positions to
hll in the big retail establishments
where automatic cash registers are in
use is that of cashier. The question is
not so much one of honesty as one of
ability to perform the work day by
day without too great margin OF err

in this connection as the owners of the
big quick-lunch establishments, whore

occasions there was even overcash

young woman turned in this oyercash

for having any overcash at all. When
the young woman was discharged. 1t
may be noted incidentally. she had
become a great favorite with the Gus

callow youths boasting ABOUT their
knowledge of women's ways. One
youth in a cafe the other night deliver
ed the declaration that no wise man
ever had a proposal of marriage re-
Jected by a woman because a wise man
could hnd out what the answer would
be before he put the question. There
are hundred little ways OF finding
out woman's mind" said he. "and
any man of experience can tell
whether his suit is favored. The pres

voice, little attentions scarcely per-
ceptible but Offering glimpses OF the

by which a man may foretel infallibly
whether the answer to his proposal
will be yes or no."
The error of this young solon lay in
the fact that he took reason to guide
him through the labyrinth OF the femi-
nine mind. He was not aware that
women are inclined to be cold toward
the favored but yet unaccepted lover.

Another girl succeeded; she lasted two

four days. In all eight girls were tried

the company was no better of than

shortages to be taken out of the young
woman's pockets. and others when
they honestly turned IN what was over

register. But the shortage and the
overcash continued, and the company
has decided to give up experiments and
to charge the difficulty. not to incom-
petence OF the cashiers, but to impos-
slbility of filling the position without
mistakes. The trouble is said to be
that the $500 or 1900 changes made
during the day are not. as in dry goods
stores or other concerns, more or less
scattered throughout day. but are
all crowded into an hour or so. The
rate at which one girl makes change
during that one hour is at the rate of
$4,000 in day OF nine hours.-New
