show | FOOLED MY BOSS"
Story Of Young Man Who Cheated
Himself Of Success.

On a street car recently / overheard
q fine-looking young man of about
twentyone telling two companions
how he managed to cheat his en-
ployer out of an hour and half's
time every day for over q year. This
is the substance OF what he said:
He was out great deal with the
boys and got, on an average, only
about five and half hours sleep q
night. This not being sufficient, he
managed to sleep an hour and half
each day. during business hours.
He went on to describe large door
situated just back of the private Of
nee in the store, which, when open.
cut OF quite a little corner of space
In such a way that he could seclude
himself there without danger Of being
seen. In this secluded corner, seated
In chair. he took a nap Of an hour
and half each day.
Several of the other clerks knew
about this retreat, and they took turns
during the day, so that some one of
them was resting or sleeping there
most of the day.
One of his companions asked the
yoCng man how he managed to avoid
detection. He replied that the door
opened into passageway, and was
never closed in the daytime; that the
boss never had occasion to look be-
hind it. and that he would not be
likely to miss one clerk among so
many and that even If he did, there
was always someone who would give
the signal. So together the young
men managed to cheat their employer
out of the equivalent of one mans
entire time.
l had been admiring this young
mans striking appearance before he
told his story. He had splendid
head, and very strong face, and /
had said to myself, How | wish /
could tell that young man what great
possibilities are before him II he is
only equal to his opportunity" Yet
on the very threshold of his career
he was Systematically cheating his en-
ployer, and glorying In his cleverness
in doing it.
There are tens of thousands of men
in the great failure army to-day, who
thought they were getting the best
OF their employer in Their younger
days because they clipped their hours,
shirked their work, says o. S. Marden
in Success Magazine. They thought
they were going to get on
in the world just as you do; but
before they realized 1t, they had fas
tened upon themselves the habit OF
cheating, or deceiving, until they grad
ually became so dishonest that they
not only were not promoted, but either
lost their positions as well, or, when
they started in business for them
selves, lost their credit, their stand
ing, the confidnce or others and
gradually went to the wall, or landed
in the penitentiary.

soRELY STRICKEN FRISCO.
Dominated by Corruption and Con-
trolIed by Labor Trust.

Milwaukee, Dec. 13,-"The belief
is general in San Frisco that Mayor
Schmitz is guilty of the crimes with
which he is charged, but they now
have to be proved He might have
been all right, but he was dominated
by Abe Reuf."
These statements were made
| by G. W. Prescott of San Francisco,
at the Hotel Pfister. Mr.. Prescott
formerly lived in Sturgeon Bay, but
for fifteen years he has made his
home in the city that has been raw
aged by earthquake, fire and corrup-
ton. He continued:
With the municipal government
in the hands OF the labor unions, the
people are powerless to remedy the
conditions that confront us. No non
union man can obtain employment
there, not even the commonest kind
of artisans who are so badly needed
for the work Of rebuilding the city.
Half the men In the labor unions are
men who were forced Ia to keep
themselves and their families from
starvation. II they would not join
the unions they could not work.
What the effect of the indictment
of Mayor Eugene Schmitz, elected on
the labor ticket by the labor unions.
will be upon the labor unions, can
not say. He never was the real
mayor OF the city, except In name
Abe Reuf, his advising attorney, now
under indictment with him for al.
legged grating, was the real power
behind the throne. He dominated
the entire city government. He was
the mayors right hand man. For a
long time the people had suspected
graft and corruption and the outcry
tnally became so powerful that IL
has resulted In the exposures that
have been made there. William II.
Langdon, elected as the city's prose
cutting attorney by the labor unions,
has acted differently than he was en-,
pected TO and the unions now charge
that he Is a traitor TO them. Inn
mediately upon taking his Office he
began ferreting out graft and corrup-
ton with excellent assistance and
has been doing his work fearlessly.
THE worst trust In the United
States Is the labor union trust in
San Francisco. This trust is re
sponsible for the slowness with
which the city is being rebuilt. Non
union laboring men and the firms
that support them are boycotted by
the union labor trust There Is
great scarcity of labor and to this is
due the fact that the city is rebuild
Ing so slowly. The labor union trust
is responsible for the scarcity OF
labor. The scarcity Of building ma
terial also is responsible 10 some ex.
tent for the slowness with which the
city is being rebuilt"

TIE CHURCH SPIRE.
Passing of This Ancient Symbol of
the House of worship.

In the old days, when the church was
chiefly regarded as a place in which to
worship on Sunday, the spire was a
perfect, visible symbol of the character
of the building. 1t was sign of Gods
house, and as such had its USE Aside
from this the spire had bell, and, per-
haps, a clock. Now, how changed The
rapid commercial progress of the era
has shown no sentimental regard for
homes, churches or anything else.
The Baptists of late seem to have
taken the most united move to get
away from the spire and all that it
means, but they are going to the other
extreme. Many of their new churches
look like public buildings, and some re-
semble Cairo mosque The Metho-
dists, while doing away with the spire,
have compromised in many instances
on a tower.
The Norman and English Gothic or
perpendicular Gothic" has come into
high favor in city churches. This style
is at once dignified and full of strength
because of its massiveness. One of
New York's best churches of this type
is the North Presbyterian on West
One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street. 1t
has a short, square tower, carrying a
clock and bell. Another new Presbyte-
rian church, Northminster, above Cen

THE ROOT OF STANDARD

IT WOULD LOSE POWER IF RAIL
ROADS WERE PUBLICLY OWNED

IT WOULD LOSE POWER IF RAIL
ROADS WERE PUBLICLY OWNED
Mr.. DOctrinaire asks me what
is the cause of the Standard Oil
monopoly. | thought that if
there was any one thing we all
agreed about it was that the
Standard Oil monopoly had its
origin in violations of law, in the
illegal use of those public roads
which are called transportation
lines, the secret rebate, the dis
eliminating service, the favor
itism which the transportation
company can exercise in favor of
one shipper against all others, to
the destruction of competition.
You might end land monopoly,
but as long as the railroad fran
chises exist, the Standard Oil
monopoly will exist, if they can
get the favored illegal treatment
which they got in the building
up of their monopoly and which
they still have in sustaining it.
The power of Privilege in secur-
ing money, and the power of
money, in destroying competition,
was never more strikingly evi-
dent than in the. colossal growth
of Standard Oil. Mr.. DOctrin-
aire might own half the oil wells
in America, but unless he made
terms with the Standard he
would never get his oil on the
market at a profit. The Big

1t is not often that the progress of
civilization and it's conveniences make
safer the resorts of wild beasts, but
such a consequence is reported by For
est and Stream in Florida. 1t was once
the common practice of tourists to
shoot birds and alligators from the
decks of steamboats, on Florida rivers
and lakes. This abominable, because
cruel and useless, warfare was waged
until the supply Of victims for the
brutality was nearly exhausted. The
development Of the Florida railway
system, by which the tide of travel has
been diverted from the water courses,
has had a direct and marked effect on
the wild life of the country. Instead
of the leisurely progress by water craft
tourists are now whirled through the
country by rail, and the bloodthirsty
contingent has no opportunity to deal
out death at every turn. The waters
and the shores are once again becom-
ing populated with birds of plumage,
and even the alligator is coming again
into peaceful possession Of his mud
bank
