GOOD BUSINESS RULES.

The following rules have been adopted
BY leading, business men OF Chicago:
"speak softly over the telephone. and
wear your coat In the office.
SHAVE at least every other day.
"a man who dresses neatly Is q neat
worker
These are good rules, and we commend
them to our young readers. 1t Is not ne
cessary, Of course, that man In business
wear fine clothes. but 1t is very much
In his favor that he appears In public and
In private always In neat attire. This VIII
require some care and attention and some
extra labor, but 1T IS well worth the
expenditure. Shakespeare was right when
he said 1.-THE appearance oft proclaims
the man" "A man Is not necessarily fine
man because he wears fine clothes but II
he is always neat and tidy in his dress.
you may count on his being neat and tidy
in his work The slip-shod man usually
has slip-shod appearance. and the man
who Is slip-shod in his appearance, Is
apt to be slp-shod In his work. We know
that there are honorable exceptions, but
the rule is as we have stated 1t. Neatness
and politencss are always worth while.

An Episode i'm Economy.

That time is not always money is a fact
most frequently brought to public attention
by feminine members of the great and
amusing human race.
Into a Pennsylvania-street car the other
morning hustled two chubby little middle
aged ladies, both a trife out of breath from
the climb up the steps. As the conductor
began to make his way down the aisle
two sachels were snapped open. two pocket
books were investigated, and then an audi
BILE conversation was overheard by contigu-
Gus passengers.
Dear me, Mary. 1 haven't any tickets!"
"You haven't? j had a whole quarters
worth, and I've gone and left them at
home. Isn't that awful?"
Yes it is, and it's provoking, too. Now,
Wen have to buy more"
mo, we won't" the other chubby lady
protested. I'VE want all our money to
spend down town. John buys our tickets,
and we mustn't buy any"
We'll. we can pay our fares" the chubby
sister suggested.
And ~sQuander two pennies? No. indeed:
we've got the day before us, and we'll get
of the car and go back for the tickets.
Ring the bell; we'll get right off here. 1
know where the tickets are. / left them
right on the corner of the library mantel-
piece. John buys all our street car tickets,
and there's no sense In our spending our
money for tickets; no, indeed,'
So the two pleasant-faced but calculating
little stout ladies rang the bell and left the
car to plod back several blocks. with trail
Ing skirts but happy hearts. and start all
over again on the days shopping expedi-
ton with the necessary but forgotten street
car tickets.

LOGANSPORT. Ind. Oct 15.-The actual
work Of the Indiana State Federation of
Woman's Clubs. in convention here this
week, was begun this morning when the
sessions opened in the auditorium of the
First Presbyterian Church with the pre-
sentation Of credentials and the addresses
OF welcome. Nearly 1so visitors are pres
emit, including delegates. alternates and
others interested in club work. The sue
cess of the convention is assured and it
promises to be one of the most important
in the history Of the federation.
After a vocal solo by Mrs. T. E. Smith, OF
Logansport. the address Of welcome on be-
half of the local federated ciubwomen was
made by Mrs. Herbert A. Brown, Of this
city. and the address on behalf Of the city
was made by Mayor s. A. Vaughn. The re-
port of the board of directors showed that
fourteen clubs had been admitted to the
federation, making the total number of clubs
now in the organization ffty-one.
The federation adopted resolutions urging
the enactment of certain laws by the In
diana Legislature. One of these provides
for the renewal OF the forests OF the State
as well as TO limit the cutting of trees.
The federation also proposes a law provid-
ing for the prohibition OF capital punish
ment for crimes against women, but that
the term OF imprisonment be increased from
two to fourteen years to life sentence. The
federation also proposes a law for the
segregation Of epileptics. According to the
plan proposed. a village should be set apart
for those afflicted with epilepsy, where they
will be enabled to maintain themselves
apart from the rest of the world. 1t was
stated by the president. Miss Minnetta
Taylor. that such a village can be found
in New York. where it has proved very
successful.
The address of the president was a reca-
pitulation of the work of the federation dur
ing the past year. She referred TO the fall
ure of the club to induce the Legislature
last year to enact a law for the Introduction
of manual training in the public schools,
but promised that this would be taken up
again. The reports of other officers were
deferred until Friday morning, preceding
the election.
One of the features of the convention
was the musicale given this evening under
the auspices of the Logansport Woman's
Club, assisted by local talent. and augment
ed by an address by Mrs. Robert j. Bur-
dette, of Los Angeles. Cal.
