WOMEN, IS THIS TRUE?

The heads of business houses say
that, while in many respects women
work as well as men, they are very
hard to discharge-so hard to dis
charge, indeed, that some employers,
after one experience, refuse to engage
another woman.
"A man, discharged" said a depart
ment manager, takes the blow quietly,
patiently, courageously. 1t hurts, but
he dosen't show it, With a pale smile
he cleans out his desk, collects his
money and departs. So ends the I'M
pleasant episode.
But a woman, when she reads her
note of dismissal. bursts into loud sobs
and rushes at once into the manager S
private office.
oh, please don't discharge me-
she means. Think of the disgrace.
1 promise to do better; will truly.
Can't I have another CHANGER
'She gets another chance. She could
get anything if in return she would
cut short this wet and dreary scene.
And she repeats this scene if, a week
or two later. she is discharged again.
Women should learn to take a dis
charge decently. A discharge is not
necessarily disgrace, and it is always
pretty nearly as unpleasant for the lis
charger as for the discharge. Why
make it worse? Why make it hideous
and intolerable?
1.-The women who make a scene over
a discharge harm their sisters as we'll
as themselves, for many managers,
after participating in one of these
scenes, refuse to employ another wo-
man.

SHORT KINGS.

There is hardly a king in Christen-
dom today whose wife does not over
top him by head.
The English king is quite six inches
shorter than Queen Alexandra.
The car, a little man, is overtopped
a full head by the czarina.
Kaiser Wilhelm is of the medium
height, but the German empress is tall,
and that is why the proud kaiser will
never consent to be photographed be-
side his wife unless she sits while he
stands.
The king of Italy. short and squat.
hardly comes up to the shoulders of
the tall, athletic Queen Helena.
The King of Portugal, though fatter.
is less tall than his queen.
Even the Prince of Wales is shorter
a good four inches than the princess.
And the young King of Spain is
several inches shorter than his new
bride.

HOW NERO DINED.

| An actor, discussing Nero Stepher
Phillips new play discussed the Ne
| ronic banquet.
when Nero dined," he said, "there
were three courses, eaten lying down
and dances went on, or contests of
wild beasts, or even fights of gladi-
ators, and the various dishes were
brought in to music by slaves who
danced as they approached.
1.-The first course was composed of
hors d'oeuvres-eggs, British oysters,
lettuce, olives and SO on. To begin a
meal with eggs still is popular in Italy.
THE second course comprised all the
substantial foods. Turbot Ga kind of
giant flounder), peacock, fiamingo,
sucking pig, boar, venison and truffies
were brought in upon a huge round
tray carried by four or five dancing
slaves.
1.-The third course was the dessert
candies, fruits. pastries.
The guests at Nero's dinners put on
dinner dresses of bright colors. They
lay on couches on their sides, three to
q couch. and they supported the head
on the left arm. which, from practice
grown muscular, endured the long,
hard work of supporting the head
without fatigue. They ate with the
fingers. The table was over a foot
distant from them, and it was neces-
sary, when they wanted a fresh hand
full of food-another bit of famingo or
of peacock-for them to roll over on
their stomachs in order to reach it.
THE wines were fine, and they were
used too freely. In fact, SO much wine
was consumed at these Neronic BAN
quets that if the guests had not COM
menced to dine lying down. they would
have ended in that attitude, undoubt-

WHY PLAYS OFTEN FAIL

Tragedies only draw well in pros
porous times. When money is tight
the people want farces.''
The speaker, an actor, went on to
explain:
when the public is on Easy street
it is willing TO be sympathetic and il
will then go freely to a sad play. But
when the public is in hard luck it
wants to forget it's troubles and it goes
only to farces and musical comedies,
for it knows we'll that the woes of a
stage tragedy would recall to it only
too poignantly it's own woes"

If a tent blows down, the inmate
will be killed in the next battle.
If a sword breaks, the owner will

owner will be shot.
If the band plays lively air while

RAILRoADING IN RUss1A-wELI

II noticed in Russia said the old
railroad man, "a sign along the rail-
road lines that said: Employees on
Duty are Expressly Forbidden to sleep
on the Tracks
That. naturally, puzzled ne. En-
ployes on duty shouldn't need to be
forbidden to sleep anywhere. They
should have sense enough, eh, to keep
awake of their own accord? But why
forbid them to sleep on the tracks
Were they lunatics, these workInen?
II made inquiries and found out this:
ION some Russian lines the men are
worked twenty hours a day. Hence
they must sleep while on duty, and
they lie down on the tracks for a nap
so that the vibration OF the approach
ing train may awaken them to their
duty. 1t doesn't waken them always.
It kills them instead.
