THE FIRER WAS FIRED.
lie Was Great as n Retrencher, But
Somehow He Was Let Out
Himself.

1t was the owner of a large retail
store in this city who tried the eX-
pertinent some time ago of employing
Il sort of supervisor, who claimed to
have a miraculous power in the mat
ter of reducing expenses and condens-
ing the details of the business. The
methods he used in his intercourse
with the large number of employees
were not calculated to raise him to a
very high place in their esteem, relates
the New York Times.
In a short while he was about the
most violently hated man in the store.
Among his genial schemes he par
ticularly liked to indulge was the pick
ing out of men he thought could be
spared whenever it was deemed neces-
sary to retrench, and, in his playful
and malicious way, notifying them of
their impending dismissal.
One of the employees in this store
was noted for a fondness for fishing,
and it was rumored pretty generally
among 1.-The boys" that he owned toll
erably good boat, which he managed
with skill.
Approaching him on the afternoon of
what had been pretty dull day, the
supervisor called him aside and they
held the following conversation:
Il believe you own boat"
Eyes, | do
"Is it in good condition, and all paint
ed?"
Yes, it is in fine condition."
'Well, the reason l ask is this: You'll
probably get long vacation soon, and
you'd better have the boat all ready, as
you may need it."
a week later this boating enthusiast
saw the supervisor looking very for
lOrn as he sat on the tailboard of one
of the firms wagons drawn up to the
curbstone.
Something had transpired that sent
thrill of qualification Throughout the
rank and file of the whole establish
ment, and as everyone had IN inklinp
of how matters stood, it seemed the
most natural thing in the world for
them to hold converse again as they
met.
I'm going to leave" said the SUI
pervisor.
What! You don't mean that you've
been fred" commented the boating
enthusiast
"Oh, no! I'm giving up the job"
A glimmering and wicked smile broke
out upon the boating enthusiasts face
as he retaliated with just measure:
well, my boats all ready-any time
you want i'll"

told her how worried and busy poor
Tom had been. If she had kEowu
the Grantleys were going at that
time she would have gone too. She
would have enjoyed the trip with
them even if Tom had been too
busy and occupied to take her about.
Dear Tom. He had never encour-
aged her intimacy with Helen Grant
ley. She was not his style of wom-
an. though she was undeniably hand
some and brilliant in a Cleopatra
sort of way. She was so popular
with most men. But Tom could
never bear any woman who made
herself noticeable in any way.
mo woman ever suited him sc
well as his brown-eyed, womanly
wife" How often he had said that.
Tom had never dropped his loving
ways. true, they had been married
but two years, but she had known
men who had been positively coarse
to their wives in far less time than
that.
1t was so odd that Thurston would
not understand the way she felt. 1t
would be so mean, so dislOyal to
poor Tom to forget him so soon.
No-not to forget him, exactly; she
would never do that-bIt to live and
be happy and be loved while he
no, decidedly, Thurston must wait.
Men were so selfish, the best of
them.
IF lou love me-" ThurstOn had
said, edo not allow a mistaken i'm
pulse of conscience to keep us
apart" Conscience! 1t was but a
simple act of justice to the dead
Tom would have been inconsolable
if it had been she who had died. He
had so often told her she had filled
his life so completely.
How angry Thurston had looked
when she had refused to marry him
so soon. Still she had never admired
him quite so much as when he had
gone away with that black frown on
his handsome face. He had slammed
the door, too. One only slams a door
as last resort.
How fortunate she was to be loved
by two good men. 1t was so puz
zling to know just how to decide

A. A. Boyce, a farmer living three

says: "A severe cold settled in my
kidneys and developed SO quickly that
was obliged to lay off work on account
of the aching in my back and sides

medicine l took had not the slightest
effect. My back continued to grow
weaker until l was unfit for anything.

A LIFETIME LOVE.

Oh, I am tired of having you dead
Tired of an anguish uncontrolled.
l never get used TO Your empty place,
Nor cured of missing your vanished face.
For a years young love a man mourns
year
'ou were half of my life for a lifetime.
And all of its sunshine. and all of its
spring,
And the grace and sweetness of every
thing.
More love for the asking. old friends and
new?-
Yes; but where is friend like YOU?
All that woman and man can be,
Lovers and comrades and friends were
We.
Did our love begin when our lives begun?
Was there ever day when We were not
one?
Had We ever a separate hope or fear,
Oh, can you, can you, remember, dear?
Oh, am tired of having you dead
Tired of waiting the word unsad;
Tired of the night and tired of the day;
In the house that was Home until you went
away,
Oh, lifelong love, don't you mind how we
Plighted our troth for Eternity?
TIL Death do part us"-Oh, short and
slight:
When Death has parted, till Death unite.
Oh, lifetime love, in your Heaven pray,
That God may speed us our meeting day;
For I'm broken with sorrow, uncontrolled
So tired, so tired, of having you dead.

 CHINA NOT ALARM ED.
Boxer Troubles Not Considered Very
 Formidable.


 Formidable.
 PEKING, March 13.-The queries re- ceived at the foreign legations here from their respective governments in- dicate that greater importance is at tached abroad to the disturbances in China than the most competent ob- servers here think the outlook war rants. The foreigners are entirely con- fident of the ability and disposition of Yuan Shi Kai, the governor of Chilli province, to suppress the occasional Boxer demonstrations in Chilli.
 Of the other revolts the Canton move ment is now alone considered serious. The remainder are regarded as having no national significance. While the hatred of foreigners and the discontent with the Mantchoo rule has increased since 1900, cooperation between the discontented elements is lacking and there appears to be absolutely no formidable revolutionary movement.
 Yung Lu, the first grand secretary, is critically ill of dropsy. His death would probably promote Prince Ching, president of the foreign office, to the head of the government.

Kansas City Women Drive Trucks.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 13.-Two women, Mrs. G. B. Evans and Mrs. H. S. Meyers, took the places of their hus- bands, nonunion men, yesterday and drove trucks about town in defiance of the striking transfer companies driv- CTS. They met no interference, but in- stead the men lifted their hats as the women drove by and cleared the way for their vehicles. Although it was still necessary for the police to remain on duty about the barns, there was no violence aside from two or three trucks being stopped. A big crowd of strik- CTS and sympathizers followed one wagon driven by a nonunion man, and when few stones were thrown he willingly returned his team to the barns. The business of the transfer companies was practically. at a stand still.

HARvARD-YALE AGREEMENT.
By New Rules Captains of Teams are
 to Be Judges of Eligibility of Men.

By New Rules Captains of Teams are
 to Be Judges of Eligibility of Men.
 New Haven, March 13.-A new ath- letic agreement between Yale and Har- yard was entered into last night at q meeting in Springfield by the confer ence committees representing the two universities. Later the Yale sub-com- mittee met at the home of the Rev An son Phelps Stokes, IT, and ratified the agreement so far as Yale is concerned.
 It was long after midnight before the agreement was made public. 1t con- tains about 1900 words, most of it dealing with a set of rules governing eligibility matters and questions of pro- cedure Nearly all the rules are such as have been in force in previous ath- letic agreements between Yale and Harvard. Finer points have been worked out, however, some of them so expressely stated that there can be lit tie misunderstanding hereafter.
 The agreement covers the four main sports, football, base ball, rowing and track athletics. The term of the agreement is two years. It is pro vided, however, that the agreement shall be self-renewing ill effect for sue cessive two-year periods unless notice Is given of intention to terminate same at least six weeks prior to the end of the period The agreement will go into effect on March 15.
 The most interesting point about the new rules is that the several captains shall in the first instance be judges of the eligibility of the men who are can didates for their several teams, and the captains shall be responsible for that Judgment. The captain must sub- init the list of candidates for the in- spection of a committee of three grad uates who shall be elected in October of each year.
 In case those graduates disagree with the captain as to any man in the list or as to construction of the rules, the matter may be referred for arbitration to committee. the first members of which shall be Otto T. Barnard of New York. for Yale; R. D. Wren of Boston, for Harvard, and William Meikleham of New York, a graduate of Columbia. 1 Each captain shall submit to the other a list of men whom he proposes to have upon his team in the contest 1 between them, such list to be submitted at least three weeks before the game. I Tn case of protest after such list is of- | fered the protests must be filed at least | two weeks prior to the contest.
