SIZING UP YOUR MEN
Their Way Oh Answering Qaestions
Often Helps

One thing that helps you keep track
Of your men Is the habit of asking
questions. Your thirst for inforua-
ton must fairly make your tongue loll
out. When you ask the head Of the
canning department what we're net
ting for two pound corned beef on the
days market for Gamers, and he has
to say, Wait a minute, and I'll figure
it out or turn to one OF his boys and
ash, .Bill, what are twos netting us n
he isn't sitting close enough to his job,
and perhaps IL Bill were In his chair
he'd be holding 1t In his lap; or when
you ask the chief engineer how much
coal we burned this month as COM
pared with last and why In thunder
we burned 1T. If he has to hem and
haw and say he hasn't had time to fig-
ure 1t out yet, but he thinks they were
running both benches in the packing
house most OF the time, and he guess
es this and reekons that, he needs to
get up little more steam himself. In
short whenever you find a fellow that
ought to know every minute where
he's at, but who doesn't know what's
what. he's pretty likely to be 1t. When
you're dealing with an animal like the
American hog, that carries all its
profit In the tip of its tail, you want
to make sure that your men carry all
the latest news about 1t on the tip of
the tongue.
It's not bad plan once in awhile
to check up the facts and figures that
are given you. remember one light
ming calculator had working for me
who would catch my questions hot
from the bat and fire back the answers
before / could get into position to
catch. Was a mighsy particular cuss.
Always worked everything out to the
sixth decimal place / had just about
concluded he ought to nave wider
field for his talents when asked him
one day how the hams OF last weeks
run had been averaging in weight
Answered like a streak, but 1t struck
me that for hogs which had been run
ming so light they were giving uT
pretty generously. So ! checked np his
figures and found 'em all wrong. Tried
him with different question every
day for d week. Always answered
quick and always answered wrong
Found that he was baseball rootel
and had been handing out the batting

A Good Kind cf Discomfort.

There are two kinds of discomfort
In this world, the discomfort that
works and the discomfort that wrings
its hands. The first gets what it wants,
and the second loses what 1t has.
There's no cure for the first but sue
cess, and there's no cure at all for the
second. especially IL woman has IL,
for she doesn't know what she wants,
and SO you can't give 1t to her.
Happiness Is like salvation--a state
of grace that makes you enjoy the
good things you've got and keep reach
ing out for better ones In the hereaft-
er. And home isn't what's around you,
but what's inside you. From "0ld

books ana amusements rnar noId sense

slop and stomach ache, a. lot or
mothers think a child starts out with
d brain that can't learn anything but
nonsense, SO when Maudie asks SEN
sible question they answer in googo0
gush. And they believe that child
can digest everything from carpet tacks
to fried steak, so whenever Willie
hollers they think he's hungry and try
10 plug bis throat with a banana.
You want to have 1t In mind all the
time while you're raising this boy that
you can't turn over your children to
subordinates any more than you can
your business and get good results.
Nurses and goyernesses are no doubt
all right in their place, but there's
nothing "just az good" as a father and
mother. A boy doesn't pick no cuss
words when his mothers around or
learn cussedness from his father. Yet
q lot Of mothers turn over the children,
along with the horses and dogs. to be
fed and broken by the servants, and
then wonder from which side OF the
family Isobel inherited her weak stom-
ach. and where she picked up her
naughty ways. and why she drops the
h's from some words and pronounces
others with brogue. But she needn't
look to Isobel FOR any information, be-
cause she Ii the only person about the
place with whom the child amt on
free and easy terms.

AS long as fond fathers slave and
ambitious mothers sacrifice SO that
foolish daughters can hide the petit
coats Of poverty under silk dress and
crowd the doings Of cheap society into
the space in their heads which ought
to be filed with plain, useful knowl-
edge lot OF girls are going to grow
up with the idea that getting married
means getting rid Of care and response
bility instead of assuming It.
A fellow can't play the game with a
girl Of this sort, because she can't
play fair. He wants her love and d.
wife; she wants d proyidef, not low
er, and she takes him as husband be
cause she can't draw his salary any
other way. But she can't return his
affection, because her love is already
given to another, and when husband
and wife both love the same person
and that person Is the wife it's tisu-
ally life sentence at hard labor for
the husband. If he wakes up little
and tries to assert himself after he's
been married a year or SO, she shud-
ders and sobs until he sees what a
brute he is, or If that doesn't work,
and he still pretends to have a little
spirit, she goes of into rage and
Mysteries, and that usually brings him
to heel again. Its a mighty curious
thing how a woman who has the APP
petite and instincts of a turkey buzz
zard win often make her husband be-
lieve that she's as high strung and del
icafe as canary bird!
Its been my experience that both
men and women can fool each other
before marriage and that women can
keep right along fooling men after
marriage, but that as soon as the av-
erage man gets married he gets found
out. After a woman has lived In the
same house with man for year she
knows him like good merchant
knows his stock, down to any shelf
worn and slightly damaged morals
which he may be hiding behind fresh
er goods in the darkest corner of his
immortal soul But even if she's mar
ried to fellow who's SO mean that
he'd take the pennies off a dead mans
eyes (not because he needed the mon
ey, but because he hadn't the change
handy for a two cent stamp she'll
never own up to the worst about him,
even to herself, till she gets him into

self control have given you.
1t doesn't seem like much when you
take your savings bank book around
at the end Of the year and get little
$50 or $40 interest added or when you
cash La the coupon on the bond that
you've bought, yet your bank book
and your bond are still frne to you.
But If you'd had your thousand In one
of these 80 per cent bleaehed blond

Ing out of thing Is that everybody

low common sense. The time To buy

It's better to 20 slow and lose good

and never get Ii bargain. It's nh right
to take long chance now and then

of the long chances are taken By the
fellows with short bank accounts.
