deal. when they're in love"-and she
directed what ought to have been a
killing glance at the good looking
young man opposite her and breathed
sigh on her own account.
1t apparently missed it's aim, but
something in this last remark seemed
to excite great derision in the breast
of Perkins, the housemaid.
"In love!" she exclaimed. "Ha, ha!
| like that" and she, too, sent a
glance, which might, in a sense have
been described as killing-if looks

She Got Up.

The elevated car was full of men
and women when an old man in plain
clothes came in and stood up with
his hand in the strap.
A woman with cheeks too feshy
and red to appeal to an artist was
near the old man who was standing
Before any of the men could or did
offer him their seats, she got up, mo-
toned to him, and he sat down.
Her face was too highly colored.
but she gave the old man a chance
to sit down. Her hands were not very
graceful in proportions, but she gave
the old man a seat.
She could have learned much Of the
better dressed men and women sit
ting near her, but she gave all of them
a good sermon when she gave the old
man seat.
Some of those near her knew the
latest hint from Paris, but she gave
them a later hint from the heart when
she gave the old man a seat.
If her life hero is not heightened

The Window Manner

Just as l finished the City Sawmill
item l noticed a window washer on
the outside of another building.
He was cleaning the windows of
the fifth floor and he had no appli-
ances for his safety, such as straps or
ropes and hooks with rings in the
casing.
He certainly has nerve to do this,
but nerve without appliances is safer
than appliances without nerve.
While visiting a farmer he took me
to two trees to show me how light
ming came down one tree to near the
ground, then went clear through the
big trunk of the other tree just like
a cannon ball.
Soon after this that same farmer
lost his big barn by fire and the fire
was reported due to lightning and a
broken lightning rod; therefore is not
a broken rod worse than no rod? II
you have a rod on your building see
that IL is in good shape. But does
lightning ever strike tin roof?
Years ago l read or heard that it does
not, and IL you have a case in your
knowledge showing that 1t has

The man is washing windows yet.

Here is a gain have made during
the first week of 1904.
In place OF using the word employee

Buyer and seller mean employer,
employee and customer
The words employer and employee
do not wear we'll with me.
The so-called employer is buyer.
and the socalled employee is seller
of time, strength, skill, information.
The one who does the work sells
just the same as the one who has the
work done sells after 1t is done.
So my new statement is that my
Arcade Index library is a central bu-
reau for the collection, exchange and
promotion of information personally
useful to the individual, either buyer
or seller, in mechanical, commercial
and professional lines.
The subjects are food, clothing.
recreation, reliable health, accuracy,
forethought, useful originality and
agreeable disagreeing. The object of
my plan is to reduce mutually ex.
pensive plumbers, mistakes, errors
and accidents.
The information has been and is
being gathered by means of investiga
tions, experiments, researches. con

periences and original study. 1t is fol-

Profit in loss is worth
watching, as it may
rove a vaIua bic
thought mine.

The first of the year many book
keepers are studying on profit and
loss, but all Of us all the year can de-
vote time to profit in loss.
A passenger missed q train and in
waiting for the next train lost so
much time he decided to try to re-
gain some of it by branch car to
save half-mile walk.
The next train came and he board
ed 1t. When the branch car station
was reached he left the train for the
car just in time to see the car go
without him.
This made him lose time, money,
and gave him a chance to lose his
head. In place of the latter he opened
his eyes to see how he could learn
something worthy of the trouble
Had he lost his head he might not
have observed an old acquaintance
standing few yards away waiting
for a car on a third line. He went
over, shook hands and secured useful
information.
Had he lost his head he might not
have noticed the bright little girl on
the branch car that finally came and
carried him to his appointment late
But he did notice the little girl on
account of her executive ability. She
was with her mother and brother and
two sisters and she managed the
crowd. She found her mother va

the car to it. This little Miss Execu-
tive attracted attention so that q
man gave his seat to her larger sister
and a lady moved enough to permit
her to sit on the edge of the seat by
her and remarked that she was the
conductor Of the family and as happy
as lark in doing so. When near
their destination she saw a young
man by a house watching for them
and notified her family that Jim was
there by the back door Jim went in,
as soon as they began getting off the
car, it may be to notify the kitchen
to dish up the New Years feast Miss
Executive was running through the
front gate as the family reached the
sidewalk from the car three rods
away.
The passenger who saw this as
compensation for lost time and money
reached his place late, but the other
person in the appointment was later
and all ended well. We all hope Miss
Executive did not eat too much din
ner, but such active people arc not
likely to.

added darkly and defiantly, land per-

our arrangements haccordin'."
Just at this point the parlor maid
pushed back her chair and said, "Well,
she mustn't sit there gossiping any
longer, as she'd got her work to do,
which was to dust the masters room,
where he kept his papers and books,
which you don't dare to lay a finger
on, though, for the matter of that,
everything's always put under lock
and key before anyone's allowed to
take dust pan and broom to it."
AT this ordinary enough remark, the
young man who had been sitting there
very quietly while the discussion just
recorded was raging round him, SEEM
ed galvanized into sudden action and
extraordinary civility.
Gould he-might he be allowed to
be of any assistance in lifting any
thing to heavy for her-such as-er
-emptying the waste paper basket, or
anything?"
The parlor maid looked at him in
surprise mingled with qualification.
We'll, I never did" she giggled. eff
you aren't just polite all of sudden!
But master, he's that partic'ler about
that old room of his, and never know
but what he's got his eye on me,
p'r'aps he wouldn't like it,
The young man seemed inclined to
press his request, but noticing Per-
kins regarding him in evident per-
plexity. as though not knowing what
to make of this move, he checked
himself and said no more on the
subject
But when the parlor maids work
was nearly completed and she came
out of the room with the dustpan and
brush in her hand, she found him
waiting patiently outside the door.
Let me-let me relieve you of
those things" he said. with an eager
ness which, Notwithstanding her COM
plete confidence in her own charms,
she found as puzzling as it was de-
lightful.
You would have thought by the
eager expression on the young mans
face and the haste with which he re-
lieved her of her very slight burden,

manner in which he employs himself
