stopped him. The negro attempted 30 draw
a weapon, but the officer knocked him
down in front of Martins drug store, and

said today that the house had appro-

Mr.. Julian, ITO complete the work. Pro-

What He Was Hired To Do. -

Almost every employer Of labor has
heard at some time in his life the expression,
II didn' come here to do that, or Il
WASH hired to do that, from one or more
Of his employees. The phrase doeSn t
usually drop from the best men in his shop,
or those to whom he Is paying the most
money. but comes from the beginners, or
those who have remained in the place where
they started Very often these men, or
bows. will kick at doing work which the
employer would gladly do himsef if he had
the time, and which is allotted to them
because they have not-learned, or will not
learn. 10 do anything higher or better. At
any rate, there Is generally no intention of
depressing the employe. There is great
deal of work to be done in this world and
it takes such variety of forms that one
would find it rather hard always to specify
in advance, except in very general way,
what one wanted done by any particular
individual. Even if this We're not true,
the fact remains that objections come chiefly
from those who have by no means reached
that stage of excellence or independence at
which they can choose their own work. In
our limited experience we have seen 50
a week man doing cheerfully what So. 80
a week man thought was beneath his dig
nifty. OF course, some explanation may
be found in the fact that the older man
knows and appreciates the things with
which his employer has to contend better
than does the younger, but, in our judg
ment, energy and willingness to oblige
have much more to do with it.
Few who never do anything except what
they are hired to do will ever do anything
except the thing they are to do. Captains
of industry do not spring from their ranks

For White Gowns.

White mohair. with silky surface,
is to have an unprecedented reign this
spring. Entire gowns, separate waists
and short and long coats are made OF
this material and are trimmed with
embroidery, lace and fancy braid; for
the palmer models machine stitching,
braid and many pearl buttons are
used. The dust-resisting. noncreasing
qualities of mohair render it an ad-
mirable material for travelling and
general utility gowns. These gowns
are smart in the brown shades, dark
blues, grays and black, and are bound
to be leading favorites.

Smartest Handkerchiefs.

The very latest fad in handker-

each gown and no matter what the
shade may be, it can be exactly
matched by the dyer, in lawn, batiste,

kerchiefs are plain, with only the
narrowest hem possible. In the mat
ter of white handkerchiefs there is
much elaboration, both in lace and
embroidery; the latest fancy being
