sTENoeRAPHER SET TRAP.
Landed Human Shark Who Wanted
Work for Nothing.

From the New York Press.
Having been graduated from business
college, the confding stenographer adj
vertised for a situation. Her first answer
was from man who had an office in an
imposing new skyscraper. He was a
young man, gracious In manner, yet APP
parently not easy to please. His stenog-
rapher had been so unsatisfactory in gen
eral. he explained, that he had been
obliged to make 1t a rule that before he
engaged one he must Insist upon a trial
of the applicants speed and accuracy.
The young woman prided herself on her
proficiency, and supposing such tests to
be strictly In the order OF business
promptly consented to the arrangements.
The young man brought out pile of
letters and commenced TO dictate an
swers. 1t was 3 o'clock when her pencil
iotted down the first address; when she
laid the heap OF neatly written letters on
his desk it was $50. In that time she had
written twenty letters. The young man
glanced at her work carelessly.
81 haven't time to examine this to-
night" he said, @but / will do so the first
thing in the morning. Call at 10 o'clock.
At 10 o'clock next morning she called
again. The young man met her with
deprecating smile.
II am sorry" he said "but your work
has haphazard look that is not exactly
businesslike. am very particular about
my letters. Anyway, am afraid you are
not rapid enough. I believe | shall have
to look further. Good morning.
That was nearly a year ago. The con-
filling young woman has since worked in
other places, and has learned many
things. not the least important of which
is brief history of the young man. Last
week she had occasion to advertise fer
a position, and again she received let
ter from the young man. He did not rec
ognze her, and dictated thirty letters to
be written ION trial" She ratified Off the
correspondence with the quick touch of
master manipulation.
81 am in a hurry tonight" he explained
when she had finished. Call In the
morning, please, and I will tell you what
think of your work.
Pardon me-" she said calmly, 'but I
never do business that way. I have done
your work and now ! want my pay for it.
My bill is s1o.''
Ten dollars?" he stammered. Ten dol
lars for thirty 1etters?"
Yes she said; '$3 for these, s. for

The young man thought hard for a few
minutes and then paid the bill

Two hundred years have passed since

sixty-seven years since the forming of
the first Methodist societies. Instead of

Wesley, as there were then, there are
now over 20, 900, and the influence that
this man has exerted during these 1857
years is an influence that no man can

Archdeacon Farrar declared that Mr.
Wesley,s work had done much toward the
saving of the English church. In the his
tory of the English people Mr.. Green says
that John Wesley was a man of an indie
fatigable industry. a cool judgment, a
command over others, faculty of or
ganization, singular union of patience
and moderation with an imperious am
bition. which marked him a ruler of
men. He had besides a learning, and skill
in writing, which no other Methodist of
that time possessed. No man ever stood
at the head of a greater revolution: no
temper was so anti-revolutionary.

that there is hardly a city in the
country, some OF whose citizens are not

In Birmingham, apart from the general
sympathy that is felt for all the unfor-

great uneasiness for friends and relatives
there. Mrs. Anderson, Mr.. and Mrs.
