But you are-you, ladylike in man
ner, perhaps pretty, and YOU have an
assumed innocence, SO he hesitates to
speak long after he has satisfied him
self that at least six hours of your
time for which he pays each week is
wasted. It would be better all round
if this traceIlof gaiiantry was entirely
lacking in Mr.. --'s makeup. and he
had spoken his mind as soon as he had
made it up that you were shirking. In
stead, ne allows evidence to accumulate
and then ne hnds some sugar coated
excuse. and You are studying the ''fe-
male help ads. once more. Hereafter
pin in your bonnet, where you will see
it every morning, the resolve to give
your employer every minute Of the
time for which he pays you, and if oc-
casionally the wheels of the business
world rum more smoothly, add an ex-
ira hours work to lubricating them by
finishing that batch of letters, hunting
up references, filing papers or attending
to other little matters that accumulate
so easily and bring unspoken criticism
upon your work.
1t is well to remember that while in
the Office you are a part of the business
machine. After being sure that you
are neatly and quietly dressed you need
give yourself no more thought. 1t will
pay better to- seek appreciation because
you know something. than admiration
because you are pretty. Don't expect
your employer to say good morning
and good night" or comment at length
on the weather and walking; If you in
sist on doing so he will vote you
bother. Don't fentertain your friends
of family during Office hours, and it is
a better way to make no appointments
at all at a place of business. Don't
gossip about your fellow-workers;
never mind if the girl on your right
disregards the rules Of the Office, or
the girl on your left is not doing her
work well, rest assured that the man
at the head of affairs will find it out in
time, if he hasn't already. He de-

Be loyal not only to the Office while
in it's employ but keep it's secrets af-
ter leaving it. A man may be ever
so greatly interested in gossip about
his rivals in business, but he will re-
member the truth Of the old proverb
concerning the dog who brings bone.

their little failings, are of great value

"old hens" of office life are not usual

willing to be subordinates and they

Chemistry Of Tears.

Tears have their functional duties to
accomplish, like every other fluid of the
body, and the lachrymal gland is nc.
placed behind the eye simply to fill space
or to give expression to emotion, says an
exchange. The chemical properties Of
tears consist of phosphate of lime ard
soda, making them very salty, but never
bitter. Their action on the eye is very
beneficial. and here consists their pre-
scribed duty of the body, washing thor
oughly that sensitive organ, which al
lows no foreign fluid to do the same work.
Nothing cleanses the eye like good
salty shower bath, and medical art has
followed natures law in this respect, ad-
vocating the invigorating solution for any
distressed condition of the optics. Tears
do not weaken the sight, but improve 1t.
They act as a tonic on the muscular Wis.
ion, keeping the eye soft and limpid, and
it will be noticed that women In whose
eyes sympathetic tears gather quickly
have brighter, tenderer orbs than Others.
When the pupils are hard and cold the
world attributes it to ones disposition,
which is mere figure Of speech, Imply
ing the lack of bdlmy tears that are tn
the cornea what salve is to the skin OF
nourishment to. the blood.
The reason some women weep more
easily than others, and still more readLy y
than the sterner sex, has not Its dihe:
ence in the strength of the tear gland,
but in the possession of more delica .e
nerve system. The nerve fibers about
the glands vibrate more easily, causing
downpour from the watery sac. Men are
not nearly 50 sensitive to emotion; thei-
sympathetic nature-the term is used fri
a medical sense is less developed, and
the eye is therefore protected from
shocks. Consequently. man should
thank the formation Of his nerve nature
when he contemptuously scorns tears as
a woman's. practice. Between man and
monkey there is this essential differences
of tears. An ape cannot weep. not so
much because its emotional powers are
undeveloped as the fact that the lachry
NAL gland was omitted in his optical
makeup.

No sovereign, with the exception OF

Should not confound fragrance with

COMMODORE OF
C0NFEDERACY
Is DEAD
Chicago Record-Herald.


- oMMoDoRE JOSEPH E. MONT
GOMERY, of the old Confederate
4 navy. died Monday morning at
the home of his son, DR.. James
Montgomery, 1873 Cass street. at the age
O1 IS years. He had been Ill but a short
time. Members of the family accompanied
the remains to New Albany. Ind, where
the burial will be made in the family
vault. His wife was buried there 16 years
ago. The commodore is survived by his
son, DR.. James Montgomery, daughter,
Mrs. NJ c. White, and six grandchildren.
Commodore Montgomery was born in
Carrollton, KY, IS years ago. After re-
ceiving his early education he showed
fendness for navigation, and the earlier
years of hts life were spent in this pur-
suit on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
The experience gained at this work prov
ed valuable to him in later years and also
to the army of the Confederacy. In 1861
he offered his services to Jefferson Davis,
of whom he was warm personal friend,
and he entered the service under the COM
mand Of General Leonidas Polk. Owing
to his perfect knowledge of the country
he was placed at the head of a band of
scouts and gained his first marked distinc-
ton at the battle of Belmont, where he
attempted to capture Grant. The latter es-
capped, but without his horse. Because Of
his bravery shown in this fight Montgom-
cry was commissioned by Jefferson Davis
to construct fleet for the protection of
the Mississippi river. He fought as COM
modore OF the feet in engagements at
Fort Pillow, New Orleans and Memphis.
After the last named battle he went to
Montgomery and superintended the con-
struction OF the gunboat Nashville, and
took 1t down the Alabama river to Mo-
bile, where he sank seven of Admiral
Farragut's federal boats on mines laid in
Mobile bay After this he made an at
tempt to cross overland to Texas, but
was taken by the northern troops. At the
conclusion of the war he was pardoned
by President Johnson. His boat, the Nash.
vi1le was made a government training
ship. When the war was over he remained
in the south, making his home at Mont
gomery, Ala. Ten years ago he came to
Chicago.

western Republican states get nineteen
and the southern and Democratic states
get ten. This is discouraging handicap
TO begin with, and OF itself should deprive
the Democrats OF all hope of capturing
the next house, but several Of the new
members will come from the pOpulous
cities of the north where the Democrats
are strong among the foreign-born voters
and the laboring element, and there they
hope to Offset the gain in the farming
states, the villages and the richer and
more intelligent communities. A change
of twenty-three districts is necessary to
give the Democrats a majority, which is
admitted to be impossible, but they claim
to be certain Of twelve and are hopeful
of twenty. The expected gains are in the
following states:
