SONG OF THE SECS"

(The "seg'' baseball players at theUni-
versity of Chicago are much perturbed
because of the action of the college au-
thorities with regard to the photographs
of the team. The pictures were taken
in costume, boomers and all. and when
they came back the lower half of the
pictures had been clipped off, and the
photographer was jtructed to finish the
photographs as bisected).
o, when our photograph you hold
Pray do not think US OVERLOAD
When We assert
That lack OF skirt
Is why the half has not been told.
Each member of the team agrees
That it was wrong Of the M. DIS
To amputate-
O, Sorry fate!-
Our terminal facilities.
Girl graduates, we may be sweet,
But the old verse we can't repeat.
The briefest view
Will prove to you
We has mo half reluctant feet
Who dreamed that our light footsteps led
Us into complications dread?
If we had dared
To hint We cared
They had cut off our heads instead.
Short stopped, indeed! Each member begs
You will excuse the put out pegs.
The higher ed
ucators said
We must appear as legless segs.
A crafty umpire this. and slick,
To call the game and call it quick.
We own we're beat
We have no feet
Or anything with which to kick.

CAMBRIDGE, Miss, July 1S.-h an
average Englishman of the eighteenth
century should return to this planet
and wanted something to READ, ne
would find his literary nourishment,
not at the modern book shops or news
stands but rather either in the Brit
ish museum or the Harvard college
library. If he knew anything about the
two greatest modern collections OF the
quaint little volumes with which ne
was once so pleasantly familiar, the
dingy and much thumbed chap books
out of which their publishers made
fortunes that compare very favorably
with the fortunes made by successful
modern publishers, he would undoubt-
edIy choose Cambridge. Curlously
enough the greatest Harvard collection
of old English chap books is much bet
ter arranged and more readily access
ible to the casual reader than even
that of the British museum. Nova
days, of course. there are very few
casual readers-unless one imaglnes
that the sturdy ghosts of 200 years ago
haunt the Harvard book shelves from
midnight till cock-crow. The day OF
the chap book is over except as it sur
wives in the dime novel that has made
the messenger boy famous for his abll-
ity to read and walk at one and the
same time; in the little magazines
that were such a fad among publishers
some few years ago; and in the nur-

SaleswOmen Are Becoming a
Marked and Distinct Type

and if she does she becomes valuable
employee.
"a large number of the girls who
apply to us for positions are not en-
gagged. Some are rejected because
they lack the neatness of appearance
that is positively necessary, others be-
cause it is apparent in their faces that
they are not good natured, others be-
cause they are insufflciently educated
and others for various reasons but the
likely appearing ones are at least per-
mitted to leave their names and ad-
dresses, and are called upon and given
a trial when occasion serves. At Ger
tain. seasons of the year we need a
great deal f<extra help and those who
are put on at such times are watched
with view to their permanent employ
ment at some future time. Some of
those who come in at such times do
not want permanent employment but
SO far as possible we choose those
who desire to go to work regularly.
Rules Are Strict.
TN some respects the rules for the
government of our employees are very
strict, or at least would appear SO to
those not familiar with the needs of
such an establishment. Promptness in
the matter of hours we must rigidly re-
quire, for if one were allowed to come
little late another would expect the
same privilege, and soon our entire
force would be utterly demoralized in
that respect and no one could be de-
pended upon. We are particular about
sneatness in personal appearance, but it
is senly in few cases that reprimand-
or even a reminder is ever necessary
for in most cases personal pride keeps
the girls UP to the standard. That is
perhaps principally because they are
girls, but force Of example also has
great deal to do with it, Impudenee
or even reminder is ever necessary,
customer brings down reprimand
upon the offender every time it is dis
covered and a REPETITION of that sort
of thing will soon lead to dismissal.
Ordinary shortcomings are not treat
ed with great harshness, and in fact it
is very rarely that we find it necessary
to reprimand an employe severely.
Thoughlessness is a serious fault, and
may prove costly to the firm, so it is
seriously regarded and seriously dealt
with.
There is one fault in particular that
we never overlook and that permits
of no excuse, but I am happy to say
that offenses in that direction are very
rare among our clerks. I refer to evil
dences in the morning of dissipation
on the previous night. If girl comes
to work showing signs of having been
out the night before dissipating, she
Is notified to see the cashier and get
What is due her. Most of our girls keep
good hours and are ready for their
work in the morning and we have but
little trouble IN that way"

larger size and infinitely better illus
trated.
One of the earliest collectors of chap
books was the elder Boswell. Samuel
Johnson's friend and biographer, and
the Harvard library has long contain
ed some fiftyf1ve volumes-which
means some hundreds of chap books of
from eight to twenty-four pages each
that were supposed to have been coll
lected by him. These books are now
believed to have been got together
by the son of the great biographer and
the real James Boswell collection has
only recently been acquired by the
Harvard library. The authenticity of
the new collection. which only recently
came into the market, is attested by an
autograph note on the fly leaf of the
first of the three volumes in which Bos-
we'll arranged his chap books, whose
original cost was probably less than
the price of binding them together.

my French is imperfect enough, but
it excels that of an Englishwoman

menu and translated 'Ris de veau a la

that this phrase meant merely sweet
breads, she was as much surprised as
the American in Paris, who was asked

Now that every possible class of retail
