GETTING 4 Line on Men.

You can tell a whole lot about your
men from the way in which they come
in and the way in which they so home,
but because a fellow is in the office
early it doesn't always mean that he's
painting to begin work. 1t may mean
that he's been out all night And when
you see fellow porting over his books
after the others have quit it doesn't
always follow that he's so wrapped
up in his work that he can't tear him
self away from it, 1t may mean that
during business hours he had his head
full of horse racing instead of figures
and that he's staying to chase up the
30 cents which he's out in his balance.
You want to find out which.
The extra poor men and the extra
good men always stick their heads up
above the dead level of good enough
men-the first to holler for help and the
second to get an extra reach. And
when your attention is attracted to one
of these men follow him up and find
out just what sort of soil and fertilizer
be needs to grow fastest. 1t isn't
enough to pick likely stock; you've got
to plant 1t where the conditions are
right to develop its particular possibil-
tiles. From "Old Gorgon Graham;

chant to His Son." by George Horace

How Some Husbands Wind In,

There are lot of women in this
world who think that there's only one
side to the married relation, and that's
their side. When one of them marrles,
she starts right out to train her hns-
band into kind old Carlo. who'll go
downtown for her every morning and
come home every night fetching Il
snug little basketful of money in his
mouth and wagging his tail as he lays
it at her feet. Then it's pat on the
head and Nice doggie.' And he's
taught to stand around evenings, re.
trieving her gloves and handkerchief
and swapping up with a pleased lick
ing of his chops any little word that
she may throw to him. But you let
him start in to have a little fun
scratching and stretching himself or
paving her, and it's Charge, Carlo!"
and Pad dogxie!'
OF course no man ever believes when
he marries that he's going to wind up
as kind Carlo, who droops his head so
that the children can pull his ears and
who sticks up his paw SO as to make
it easier for his wife to pull his leg.
But it's simpler than you think.-From

is, better than usual. A man can't be
too good, but he can appear too good.
Surmise and suspicion feed on the I'M

business along the usual rut they soon
fade away for lack of nourishment.
First and last every fellow gets lot
of unjust treatment in this world. bat
when he's as old as am and comes to
balance his books with life and to
credit himself with the mean things
which weren't true that have been
said about him and to debit himself
with the mean things which were true
that people didn't get on to or over
looked he'll find that he's had toll

Chinese Peculinrities,

In giving his opinion of China Cap
tain Faulkner of the artillery corps
epitomized tlre Chinese characteristics
SO cleverly that some of his listeners
copied down his words.
China" said Captain Faulkner. 'is
a country where the roses have no fra
GRANGE and the women no petticoats
where the laborer has no Sunday and
the magistrate no sense of honor where
the roads bear no vehicles and the
ships no keels, where old men fly kites
and the needle points to the south,
where the place of honor is en- the left
hand and the seat Of intellect in the
stomach, where to take off your hat is
an insolent gesture and to wear white
garments is to be In mourning, coun-
try which has a literature without an
alphabet and language without a
grammar" -London Globe.

Great Men Who We're Little.

Canon Kingsley not long before his
death drew attention to the number of
short men who could be seen in Lon
don crowd. He looked upon it as sign
of the deterioration of the race. But
there are those who look at it as an
indication of progress in intellectual
lines at least, for many if not most of
the great men of history have been men
below the medium height Canute the
Great was singularly small man. Ma
poleon was undeniably short, Nelson
had no height Of which he could boast,
and the great Condo was hardly more
Than five feet tall. Greg
DRY VII.-the greatest of all the popss,
was quite diminutive person. Mon
tagne was short; so was Pope, - little
crooked thing that asked questions;'
so was Dryden, and so was Scarron,
who alluded to himself as IAN abridg-
ment of human miseries" on account of
his short stature and i'll health.

Your first report looks SO good that
I'm little afraid of 1t. Figures don't
lie, know, but that's only because
they can't talk. As a matter Of fact,
they're just as truthful q the man
who's behind them.
It's been my experience that there
are two kinds Of 1gures-educated and
uneducated ones-and that the first are
a good deal like the people who have
had the advantage of n college educa-
ton on the inside and the disadvantage
Of society finish on the outside
they're apt to tell you only the smooth
and the pleasant things. OF course It's
mighty nice to be told that the shine
Of your shirt front is binding the floor
managers best girl. but If there's
hole in the seat of your pants you
ought to know that, too, because sooner
or later you've got to turn your back
to the audience.
Now, dent 10 off half cooked and
think I'm allowing that you amt truth
full, because | think you are reason
ably so, and I'm sure that everything
you say in your report is true. But is
there anything you don't say in 1t?
A good many men are truthful on the
installmcnt plan-that is. they tell their
boss all the good things IN sight about
their end of the business and then
dribble out the bad ones like fellow
who's giving you list Of his debts
They'll yell for week that the bus!-
ness Of their department has increased
10 per cent and then own up in a whis-
per that their selling cost has increased
20. In the end that always creates Il
worse impression than if both sides of
the story had been told at once or the
bad had been told first. It's like buy
ing barrel of apples that's been dc;,-
coned-affer you've found that the
deeper you go the meaner and wor::i-
Ter the fruit, you forget all about tho
layer Of big, rosy, wax finished pippins
which was on top.

The best year we ever had. in our
minds. was one when the suDerIntcnd-
ent of the packing house wanted an III
crease in his salary. and. to make 3
big showing, swelled up his inventory

months to wake up to what had hnp-
pened and n year to get over feeling as
II there was sand In our eyes when
we compared the second showing with
the first. An optimist is as bad rs n
drunkarl when he comes to figure up
results in business: he sees double !

After I've charged off in my inven-
