BE WOULD SMOKE.

At the big works of the General Electric
Company at Schenectady there is rule against
smoking on the grounds in any of the build
tngs and the thousands Of employees obey the
rule religiously. When Charles P. Steinmetz,
president Of the American Society of Electrical
Engineers, came there as electrical expert he
walked into the yard with cigar between his
teeth. A big watchman noticed the little
stranger and, tapping him the shoulder.
shouted, NO smoking allowed here Mr.
Steinmetz threw his cigar away and walked on
A few moments later another watchman found
him putting at a fresh cigar under the very
nose Of mo Smoking" sign. He pointed co
the board and ordered Throw that cigar away.
The third time he was stopped he left the
works and went back to his quarters in the
town. The following day he did not come to
the office which had been assigned TO him. The
third day he again absent.
Mr.. Steinnetz must be sick" said the gen
eral superintendent, and he sent his secretary
to inquire. Important work was being delayed
by his absence, and they do not like delays at
the big Schenectady works.
''Have you been HIP asked the secretary.
Never felt better in my life" replied the
electrician.
But you have not been at the works since
the first day"
You are right" said Mr.. Stenmetz, "and
I'm not going there again"
The secretary could not understand and
begged explanation

That bad as no explanation at all

The secretary carried back the sad news and
that smoking rule was changed to the extent of

HE FOUND 1T.

Like all embryo authors. he was hopeful, yet

several short stories, which he had sent each in
its turn. various publishing houses They
only served prove medium through which he
became acquainted with the courteous yet final
language with which literary aspirations are ST.
multaneousy dampened and encouraged. He found
that some publishers used printed blanks in their
communications 1edgling writer's, while others
preferred the apparently more personal form OF
pen and ink
When he had finished his most pretentious effort

course for him pursue to offer it to a pub
Usher In person. AL authors did that until they
attained the position which afforded them the op-
portunity OF telling the suppliant publisher that
they were going to take vacation. and could not

prosperity might obtain Cor him the favor which
