DON'T WATCH THE CLOCK.
How a Young Man Got Recon-
mendation From Employer.

A young man who had worke,i
three years in a printing Office as an
apprentice, starting ut $3.50 per
week, asked his employer for a
letter of recommendation when he
was about to start out as a Jour.
The old man, who was perhaps the
most successful country publisher
III illinois, wrote this letter:
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
The bearer Of this letter has been
employed by me during the past
three years an | las never missed IL
day, except when sick, and has
never been late Il slu.le morning.
He never watches the clock.

Western daily and has employed
hundreds of men and boys i'll his
own business. He always remam-
bered the sentence i'll his old en-
ployer's letter, and applied that test
to his own employees.
Whenever he found boy or man
who knocked off work about fifteen
minutes before time to quit and fool
around the office, with one eye on the
clock ready to jump for his coat the
moment the whistle sounded, he
called HIM into his office and gave
him a short talk on industry. If the
habit was persisted in there was
sure to be vacancy.
The only time young man ought
to look at the clock is in the mora.

little early. If he is interested in

business along he never thinks Of

FAMILY WASHING WILL
BE DONE AT HOME NOW.

Because Of the scarcity of coal, it
seems more than likely that the fam.
lily washing will have to be done at
home this winter instead Of being
sent out. s has largely become the
custom. Was herwomen are notifying
their employ ers that they cannot
take.any more clothes to wash, as
they have neither coal nor gas for
boiling them. Florists, too, are de-
clinins to store their plants ard
flowers for the winter In their gree
houses. During the last few days
many persons have dug up their
plants from flower beds and erase
plots and given them to the pour
for such enjoyment as they may be
able to get out OF them while they
last.
Every scrap of discarded wood on
building operations is being eagerly
seized and carried away for the win.

homes of the poor districts. Women
and children are daily engaged ia

LOCAL GR0CERS KNOW
NOTHING OF TRUST PLANS.

Wholesale grocers of this city pro
fess ignorance Of a proposed comhi-
nation of wholesale grocers through
out the United States, which, ac-
cording to a dispatch from st. Louis
is in formation. George H. Hanford
of New York City, is said to be en-
gineering the deal, which is expect
ed to take definite shape at meet
ing OF wholesale grocers in Detroit
early in November 1t is proposed
according to Mr.. Hartford, to take
over the business of all the whole
sale grocers IN the United States. A
central office is to be established in
New York, which will do the buy
ing for all. 1t is expected that in
this way the company will be able
to purchase in such large quantities
as will enable it to reduce consider
ably the first cost Of the goods.
The projected grocery trust is
thought to be the same proposition
which originated some time ago with
parties in Bridgeton, N. j. This
proposition involved the taking over
Of about 100 of the largest whole
sale and retail groCers in the larger
cities. In cities with q population of
100, 1000 or upwards ten wholesale
and retail houses were to be taken
in. This plan Of combination was to
be carried out down to towns with
population of 1000 or 5000. Ware
houses were to he established in
each city, each member of the trust
being required to pay 500 per an
mum for the support Of such ware

French Strikers Divided,

PARIS. Oct. 13.-The principal fea-
ture in the strike situation is the divi.
sion which is forming in the ranks Of
the strikers. Those Of the Pas de Ca
lais district and the Department du
Nord, who are the most numerous, de-
cline to mix the questions of an eight
hour day and old age pensions into the
strike, as the central committee of the
Federation of Miners decided to do.
and declare they are striking purely
for an increase in wages. The local
committees of the miners in these dis
tricts have asked the projects to inter
vene with the mine owners with q
view of securing a settlement.

ton. In spite Of the reports that Pre-
mier Bond has failed in his mission

USING TEXAS OIL,
3. f. Shaw Finds Oil Excellent
Substitute For Coal. :

B. T. Shaw of No. 2l01 Boulevard
is using Texas oil in his heater and
finds that uniform heat is kept up
and that the cost 10 less than two
cents au hour. The house contains
fifteen rooms and is heated by hot
water. Seeing that coal could not
be secured, special burner was Sc.
cured from St. Louis and placed %
the CRATE OF the heater. To this was
attached pipe that connects with
a barrel OF Texas oil In an out build
ing. A number of the burners will
be secured by other residents Of thu
Boulevard and their houses heated Id
that way. Mr.. Shaw says it is pos.
sble to use the oil In hot air fur
Eace. The oil costs Sl.75 a barrel.

PRICE OF OYSTERS
WELL GO AWAY UP.

If predictions count for anything,
oysters will be scarc4r this year
than ever before. But, while the
quantity IS limited. the quality is
pronounced to be finer than in
previous years. The captains of the
oyster boats claim that the scarcity
of the bivalycs this year is due to
the freshets in the early spring,
which killed almost the whole crop.
In consequence of the limited sup.
ply the price this year will be high
er than last winter. A local packer
stated yesterday thai oysters we're
bringing from Is to rs cents more a
bushcl now than at this time last
year. and Yesterday the prices report.
ed were from 65 cents TO 81 10 per
bushcl. The indications are that
the prices will be higher later ia the
season.
The demand so far has been hcav.
Ter than in previous years. One
packer said yesterday that he had
never known business to take such
a boon as IT has within the past
month This year, he said, he did
not know Of single firm that has
done any soliciting. In fact, he
claimed that packers we're finding
difficulty in filling all their orders
No deep water oysters have been
brought to the city yet. However,
the prediction for them is good, but
it is claimed that in bad weather
the supply will be greatly affected,
as at present much trouble is exper-
fenced in getting the bivalves.
Down the Chesapeake, bordering on
the Virginia shore, it is said that
the supply was not affected by the
freshe,.
