ekALUE OF AN HONEST EYE.
A Business Mans Experience In Hir-
ing an Office Assistant.


a business man said that he once de-
voted half a day to hiring a man
whom he needed in his office. In an
swer to his advertisement Il great
many applicants called. He rejected
the first because he W uld not look him
in the eye. The second man." said the
merchant. 'was armed with a double
barreled recommendation from his pas
tor, with testimonials as to his busi-
ness ability and good character; but,
though he looked me in the eye, saw
that we could never hope to get along
well together, and 50 l dismissed him.
The third interested me the moment he
stepped inside the door. He was poor
ly dressed, and, though his clothes
were whole, they were at least two
sizes too small. 1t was evident that
his attire troubled him not the least.
for he held his head high and as he ap-
preached my desk looked me sQuarely
in the eye. He said that he had no rec
ommendatiOn, that he had no business
experience. but that he was willing "
do his best to please me. In an insl"n'

BE Patient with Pussy.

If you want to train a cat properly.
remember that pussy is not the stu
pid animal pictured by common super
stition. Cats certainly are not so in
telligent as dogs. Neither are they so
sociable. But once they get to know
what is wanted of them they are easi-
" induced to do it to the best of their
ability. Kindness and patience 60 a
long way with cats. \ little whole
some correction is good for a dog, but
use a whip to cat for one time only,
even if ever so sparingly. and its value
as a trick animal is destroyed forever.
Cats are simply bundles of nerves COW
cred over with fur, and even an unkind
word or a glance from any one they
love will cause them acute suffering.

SOLVING A PROBLEM.
The Green Country Brakeman Who
Introduced the "Saw By

Many years ago green country boy
applied to the superintendent Of a
western railway for work and, some
what against the superintendent
wish, on account of the danger to life
and limb attendant upon such oCcupa-
ton, was given a place as brakeman of
q freight train.
On one of his first trips it happened
that his train met another freight train
at a station where the sidctrack was
not long enough to accOmmodate either
Of them. The conductors were debat-
ing which train should back up to a
point where they could pass when the
new hand ventured to suggest that nei-
ther should back; that they could pass
each Other by means Of the short side
track if the thing was managed right.
The idea excited a good deal Of
laughter on the part of the old train
men, but the boy stood his ground.
"Well, how would you go about it?''
asked one of the conductors, confident
that the lad would soon find himself
against a stump.
The boy took up stick and traced in
the sand diagram TO illustrate his
| plan.
Good graciousr' said the conductor
Il believe that will do it!'
And it die do it. Today every train
man in America probably knows how
to "saw by" two long trains on a short
sidetrack. but it is not 50 generally
known that the thing was never done
until an inexperienced country boy
who became the manager of a grea
railway line worked out the problem
for himself.
