MANAGING MEN.
"Old GorgOn Graham" Pork Packer,
Chicago, Writes to His Son.

From Letters from Self-made Merchant.
Consider carefully before you say hard
word to a man, but never let a chance to
say good one go by. Praise judciously
bestowed is money invested.
Never learn anything, about your men ex-
cept from themselves. A good manager
needs no detectives, and the fellow who
can't read human nature can't manage it.
The photograph records of a fellows char
acter are lined in his face. and a mans
days tell the secrets of his nights.
Be slow to hire and quick to fire. The
time to discover incompatibility of temper
and curl-papers is before the marriage
ceremony. But when you find that you've
hired the wrong man, you can't get rid Of
him too quick Pay him an etxra month.
but don't let him stay another day. A dis
charged clerk in the office is like a splinter
in the thumb-a center of soreness. There
are no exceptions to this rule, because
there are no exceptions to human nature.
Never threaten, because, threat is a
promise to pay that 1t isn't always con-
venient to meet, but if you don't make 1t
till you're ready to act and then you won't
need it. In all your dealings. remember
that to-day is your opportunity; tomorrow
Keep close TO your men. When fellows
sitting top of a mountain he's in a
mighty dignifed and exalted position, but If
he's gazing at the clouds, he's missing q
heap of interesting and important doings
down in the valley. Never lose your dig
nifty. of course, but tie it up in all the red
tape you can find around the office, and
tuck Ii away in the safe.
It's easy for boss to awe his clerks. but
a man who is feared to his face is hated
behind his back. A competent boss can
move among his men without having to
draw an imaginary line between them, be-
cause they will see the real one IL IL exists.
Besides keeping in touch with your Of
flee men, you want to feel your statesmen
all the time. Send each of them letter
every day, so that they won't forget that
we are making goods for which we need
orders; and insist on their sending you a
line every day, whether they have anything
TO say or not When a fellow has to write
in six times a week TO the house, he uses
up his explanations mighty fast, and he's
pretty apt to hustle for business to make
his seventh letter interesting.
Right here L want TO repeat that in keep
ing track of others and their faults it's
very, very important that you shouldn't
lose sight of your own. Authority swells
UP some fellows so that they can't see their
corns but a wise man tries to cure his own
while remembering not to tread on his
neighbours.

to defend herself but do not teach man 10
make this defense necessary; certain
amount of virtue is essential to the highest
civilization and women must furnish prac-
tically the entire amount. Men OF the
higher races feel supreme pride in the
virtue of their women, but no especial
shame in the lack of il among themselves.
And to maintain this national glory they
place the whole burden on the weaker sex.
The girl is taught from her cradle that vir-
tue Is her rarest possession. Instruction
on this point forms no part of the boys
education, Not only must woman keep
guard over her own immoral instincts, but
she must also hold at bay those of men
which they themselves have never been
taught to control. Everywhere woman Is
held by men responsible for the morality OF
society which he himself feels at entire lib
erty to undermine.
BY all means educate these poor. weak
negro girls to protect themselves against
the men of their race-and incidentally, 1t
might be mentioned, against the men of
some other races. But would Ii not be well
at the same time to take the negro boys in

Heretofore Inca traditions led scientists

AT present there are employed on the
Panama canal construction 1,500 laborers

the construction amounts to about 5000.
President Washington's Cabinet consisted

The impression that British North Amer
lea is covered with valuable timber is fall
lacious. Black walnut, red cedar and white
oak are not found north of Toronto. A line
drawn from the city of Quebec to Sault Ste.
Marie will designate the northern limit of
beech, elm and birch. The north shore of
Lake Superior will mark the northern
boundary of sugar hard maple.
The parcel post of the British suffers
from such VIGOROUSLY bad bargains with
railways Gas the United States postoffice
does) that the postoffice is beginning to
send parcels by it's own vehicles. Horse
or motor vans now run on most of the
main roads from London, and by this
means 11.500000 parcels a year are saved
from the extortionate railway rates.
Perhaps the most remarkable bridges in
the world are the kettle bridges used in
