The Good Thing.

Once there were two boys who APP
piled for Jobs in q dry goods store.
Henry had sandy hair and projecting
teeth and large ears, and when he
stood up he didn't seem to know what
to do with his hands,
But Harold was very different kind
OF boy. He possessed handsome
face and was graceful and easy in his
movements. His hands never seemed
to be in the way; he didn't blush every
time woman happened to look at
him, and his voice was pleasing.
The manager of the store looked the
boys over, and, being an excellent Judge
Of people, he decided that Henry ought
to be kept back somewhere out Of
sight, while Harold was put in train
ing at the muslin counter.
In the years that ensued Henry went
from one desk to another, always to-
ward the top, and at last he became
the managing partner OF the establish
ment.
But where was Haroldl He had not
been employed in the place more than
year and 4 half before he became a
lioorwalker in the dress goods section,
WHERE ne was very Hpphidl. WOuCh
frequently went in to buy things, not
because they needed them, but because
it made them glad to see Harold, tore
ceive a bow or smile from him, or to
hear the music of his voice as he asked
them If they had been able to find what
they wanted.
Many times Harold limited that he
would appreciate a promotion, and ali
ways the one above acknowledged that
he ought to be advanced, but as floor
walker in the dress goods department
he was SO valuable to the firm that they
couldn't think Of putting him anywhere
else.
And there he grew gray, and at last
became a Joy to the granddaughter of
the women who had deemed him charm
ing in his youth, and when he died
Henry sent flowers and paid him glori
Gus tribute by informing his widow
that the firm had lost its valuable floor
walker. Moral: A good thing may be
too good for its own good Chicago Re-
