WHEN TIME is STOLEN.

The right sort of a man always
keeps time. He arrives at the office
punctually, and he leaves punctually.
/ When there is special work to be done
sery. as any one else with a fine sense
Of duty and responsibility would do.
j But the routine work should b fin
ished by the end of tha ofiice day,
just as any contract work sh0n!d be
finished at the specified time. This
is the true business.lke spirit says
a writer in the Chicago Journal.
The man who will waste his own
time will waste other peoples time.
The hours slip by fast to a man up
t. his neck. as thay say. in wor3s. But
in five cases out o six it Is reHso to
the wife at homo, and especially to
the terdrr heart that is never really
happy when separated from the object
of its love.
I Here is a point for all employers Of
labor. whatever it's nature. to ens.@
er. Certain Office or business ha4rs
are set by them. It is incumbent on
them to see that the routine duties
imposed upon tho individual shall not
be of nature to make it difficult or
impossible to dispatch them within
the specified time.
You are familiar with the tzpe Of
business man who is accustomed-to
cfer solitary eXample--to the habit
OF neolacting his correspondence to
the last moment without ever consid.
ering the fact that in this manner h
ccnp pel's his steno2raphers, or seere.
taries, to remain at this work after
office hours. He is stealing from
them precious moments of their lives.
which is worse than If he stole cash,
Hear him. when by chanca or mis-
chance his employees. by late attend
ance at the other end of the day. steal
time from him. Rem ember that it
is a poor rule that does not work bo n
ways
We sell certain portion of our
lives is order that we may live The
honest man realizes that this time
sold in exchange for the privilege Of
existence. is thereafter not his own
and that it is his duty. and duty that
cannot be shirked to make that time
as valuable as he can to his employer.
But the time which we call our own
is our most valuable possession. l.
is our real life It is right that We
should be jealous of any wasting Of it.
Nor is the ethics Of the matter af-
fected, whether this waste is due to
. the unjustified demands of those who.
= having bought some hours o our life,
presume to command more unpaid
for, to suit their convenience or to
!, crafty their whim or whether it is
!, due to our own fault.
