lieved that. but he acted on his belief.
So 1t happened that no business was

described, to seek employment for him
in his own office or with some ac-
quaintance. Business Is little slack

man had a faculty for finding them
and for bringing out by stimulating
words the very best in them. And he
brought home to many employers be-

Adjustable Bracket for Mirrors.


One mirror is seldom deemed
enough by the average woman for ar
ranging her dress and also for comb
ing the hair, and that Is where the lit
tie hand mirror Is convenient and use
full. Its one drawback is the fact that,
as II takes one hand to hold 1t. II al
lows only the use of the other to work
with. In the illustration is shown
simple adjustable attachment for
small mirror, In conjunction with the
larger ono on the bureau, enabling the
former to be adjusted to any desired
position and also to compactly fold 1t
out of the way when not in use. The
upright supporting arm, made Of tubu-
lar metal, is fastened to the edge Of the
bureau dresser or other support. In
the center OF this rod is a sleeve OF an
arm extending outward, which arm Is
attached to an outer arm and an inter
mediate arm. The sleeve is adapted to
slide in the support and provided with
a clamping screw for securing 1t in Its
adjusted position. All the arms are
hinged together to permit them to
swing horizontally, while the outer
arm is provided with resilient jaws to
hold the mirror. BY the use Of this
contrivance the small mirror can be

action on the anti-discrimination Dill, a
measure which prohibits special advance

any part of the state The bill, which is d.
rected against the Standard Oil Company

because that body defeated the house rail-
