Is "Another Chance" Folly /?

Here Is the basis of the reasoning of many
men that an employe who has been unfaith-
full TO a trust, no matter what his penitence
and his determination to make restitution,
must be dismissed summarily for the good
OF the service. 1t is folly. from his material
point of view. for the soclologist TO theorize
that, having burnt his fingers once to
his shame and disgrace. the man will not

British Refuse to Eat Beans.

Though beans in the form we know them
best, cut as wide a figure .n the dietary of
continental Europe as they do In our own
country they never have become popular
food in the British isles after passing the
green stage. AT the most cosmopolitan car
avansaries in that country only do they APP
pear on the bill of fare, except during the
season when thus available. On the tables

ductive form. as a haricot. Is seldom served
and should you ask a worklngman If he does
not think beans would furnish him a cheap
and nutritious diet. he probably would ask
whether you took him for a horse This
counter question would seem q strange reply
to an American farmer. as he Is we'll aware
that his horses will not touch the beans he
raises-nor. indeed, will any domestic anil

The Englishman's answer is justified. how
ever. as In his country Is grown q species OF
bean, scientifically classed as Faba vul-
garls. which is much relished by the equine
race but seldom eaten by their masters.
This species Is entirely different from the
beans we grow. as the pods are formed on a
stiff stalk that under favorable conditions
often attains a height of five feet. Thess
horse beans frequently yield bountful crops

clined TO leave the country and come to the

trial. They should not cut all ties In the
country and come to the city determined to
stay for good. Let them come and work for
few weeks; then at the end of this period
they can tell whether or not the city is the
place for them
A good way in which to do this at little
or no expense is to take advantage of the
annual holiday demand for help In the big
