BAD CLERK FOR BUSINESS
Couldn't Dissemble When It Came to
Answering Questions of
Customers.

An Arctic explorer was praising the late
William Iegler, whose great wealth went
in the past to fit so many expeditions Of
discovery in the white north, relates the
San Antonio Press.
He was a man of the alertest wit" the
explorer said. II never saw his equal IN
hitting off a persons character in an op.
poste story. Once, | remember he was
describing flour manufacturer OF loose
morals.
MIR. Ziegler said the manufacturer was
like a certain grocer who called his clerk
up before him one day and said:
THAT lady who just went out-didn't
/ hear her ask for fresh laid eggs"
Z" Yes, sir the clerk answered
And you said we hadn't any,
"'N es, sir; that is correct
"Ihc grocer, purple with rage yelled:
Didn't You see me lay those eggs my.
self on the counter not ten minutes ago!

drel, and see that you don't look to me
for a reference, either"

NAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE.
The Acquisition Of Which Would
Assuredly Fit One for an
Exciting Cruise.

Having been sailing one afternoon with
a friend, you notice how simple it is to
manage a boat; so you buy one-WaeJhcr
1t is a center board or a iIu-Eeel boat YOU
don't know, and it doesn't make any diff.
ference 50 long as you like the color, says
the Chicago Daily News.
Ask half a dozen friends to act as crew.
Great care should be exercised in choosing
only men who know nothing about sail
ing, otherwise they might make sugges-
tons as to the management OF the boat.
Far better IS 1t for you to train the men
after your own IDEAS OF sailing and YOU
stand a much better chance Of getting a
picture Of yourself and your boat Hto the
papers.
After sailing around the harbor few
times without damaging any of the other
boats, you will be in a position to invite
your girl friends to 90 sailing. II eNperI.
enccd yachtsmen tell you that your boat
will with safety carry ten, invite twenty
friends. II you bring them all back you
will establish a precedent.
Never postpone a sailing party because
OF an approaching storm. This would look
cowardly, and by all means establish a
reputation for daring even if you have to
risk tile lives Of all your friends.
Always carry full canvas-hetorc a squat
and during it, Once outside the harbOr
tie your main sheet down IN hard knots
If possible. Tins will make the trip more
exciting.
BY carefully following the above rules
you viii give the newspaper reporters a
chance TO write columns on yachting as
the Most Dangerous Of sports and will
also help the hicsayung crew to earn then
salaries

OF st. James church. Chicago, the
Brotherhood Of st. Andrew has grown
into one of the most important factors
Of the Episcopal church, having in this
country a membership of about 10000
men, or seniors, and between 5000 and
5000 boys, or Juniors.
The brotherhood is also strong In
Canada, and canadian delegates will be
present in this Chicago convention, re-
turning at It's close to their own ma,
lional convention to be held at Otta-

many Americans
In this city the convention will be
held In Mandcl hall, tho University Of
Chicago, and 1t Is the purpose to have
all the delegates make their headquar-
tiers in the clubhouse group Of the uni
yersity Hitherto where the c0nven-
lions have been held in other cities
the delegates have been scattered,
much to thir own detrIment and the
weakening Of the convention work.
This evil will now be remedied.
Unusual interest attaches to this
convention because of It's being the

continent ana attract the earnest at

Through the gospel and prayers con

thought to y. HoughtolinS that the
brotherhood might bear his name, and
this was eagerly accepted by those
who were working with HIM. Grad

anxious 10 develop some plaA 10y which

For Repeal Of Judges Pension
From the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore AHeliCtll
At the forthcoming session Of tie General
Assembly bill will be introduced to repeal
the law passed at the last session granting
pensions to Judges who have served the re.
CURED number of years on the bench. Since
the passage of the act it has met with opposl
ton. especaly in the counties. This opposi.
ton made itself felt in the last campaign.
One candidate for the House of Delegates who
had served during the last session, and who
had voted for the bill, found his course so Sc
verey criticized that he found ii necessary to
apologize for his vote, and to offer to vote for
the repeal of the law, and a candidate tor the
Senate was also defeated for the same cause.
Despite the opposition in rural sections to
the pension system, it is not believed that 1t
will be wholly repealed. 1t meets the APP.
proval of members of the bar in the city and
throughout the State. They generally possess
a great deal of influence in both houses, and
this influence may be sufficiently powerful IN
the next General Assembly TO prevent the
proposed repeal.
1t is thought, however, that a bill to so
amend the law that retired judge can draw
only one compensation will meet the approval
of both houses. Such an amendment would
strike directly at Judge Alvey, Of HagerstOwn,
who receives life compensation OF 81, 300 per
annum as the retired chief Judge Of the Court
of Appeals of the District of Columbia. For
a year and a half he has drawn an annual pen
sion of So, 400 from this State.
The law is far more sweeping than lis
trainers had designed. Pensions were intend
ed only for retired judges of the Circuit Courts,
the Court of Appeals and of the Supreme
Bench of Baltimore City, who, previous to
attaining the age of 10 years, had served 10
years on the bench prior to the passage of the
act and for others who will have served 10
years upon reaching their seventeen year. If
in office at the time OF the passage oft the act.
The law is broader than these provisions
indicate. 1t is claimed that any judge who
has served for even one day before he attained
the age of 10 years will be entitled to the pen
sion of 81, 400 per annum.

To Pastors, Sunday School Superintendent
and Fraternal Orders.


The ADVOCATE has been publishing free Of
cost notices of fairs, festivals, oyster suppers
and picnics. Throughout the year something
Of the sort is advertised. We have had re-
quests to publish notices of picnics as long as
three months in advance.
Sometimes these notices occupy more than
half column. They come in late, often, and
put the office to Inconvenience to iusert them,
and when not inserted, for any cause, late re-
ceipt or non receipt, offense at the omission
has been taken by persons sending them.
Hereafter only notices of religious services
will be published free. When any affair is
gotten up to make money for church, Sunday
school or society, notices of such will be
charged for at usual rates.
And why not? Why should the ADVOCATE
be asked to draw the attendance, when the
ice cream manufacturer, the oyster dealer, the
confectioner and all others furnishing supplies
are paid 1t is just as important to have buy
ers as to have something to sell.
Some persons think such notices serve just
to fill up, and cost nothing to print. The cost
is the same in proportion as public sales,
store or other advertising. Advertisements
are source of revenue, without which no
paper could be sustained.
Besides. the proprietors contribute to the
support of their own churches, and ought not
to be asked to contribute to churches and
Sunday schools all over the county.
The reasons given above are sufficient to
show all fair people the correctness of the
purpose to cease free advertising of affairs
gotten up to raise money.

as we'll as the Southern army, during the Civil
War. Miss Floyd never married, but lived
always at her old home near Port Tobacco,
which is filled with quaint old-time things.
She made study of palmistry and was re-
markably accurate in the fortunes that she
read, and was annually visited by hundreds of
persons, never charging for her insight into
the past and the future. Her memory until
the time of her death was remarkable and she
could recolect the incidents of the Civil War
as if they had happened but yesterday. Rose
Hill, her home, was at one time owned by DR..
Brown, private physician to Gen. George
Washington. The funeral services were held
at St. Thomas Church this morning and in
terment was at the same place. Father Null
vaney officiated.
Miss Floyd was the last of her name in
Charles county and remained true to the lost
cause to her death, of which she seemed almost
part, so thoroughly was she identified with ii
