 Marshall Field was always studying his employees and trying 10 read their futures. Nothing escaped his keen eye. Even when those about him dld not know that he was thinking or theh' ne was taking their measure at every op- portunity His ability to place men, to weigh and measure them, to pierce all pretense amounted to genus. w heH he missed a man from certain counr oar what had become of him. When toId that he was promoted, he would keep track of him until he would miss him again, and then would ask wnere ne near a man came to his estimate or him. He thus kept track of men or promise in his employ and watched their advancement In this way ne De- came an expert in human nature read

Field would sometimes pick out a man for a position when his advisers would tell him that they thought ne had made a mistake; but he was nearly always right, because he had greater power of discernment than others. lie did not pay much attention 10 the claims of the applicant or to what ne said. because he could see through mans mental caliber.

 A man who had been his general manager for many years once resigned very suddenly to go into business TOT himself. Without the slightest hesit9- ton or concern. MT. Field called to his office a man whom he had been watch ing for long time without letting the man know it. With very few words he made him general manager. And so great was his confidence that he had measured the. man correctly that the very next day he sailed for Europe. He did not think 1t necessary to wait and see how his new manager turned out He believed he had the right m m and that he could trust h'm.

Concealed Weapon Crusade.

The police continue to bring in men charged with carrying concealed weap- oris and more than 100 persons have been held under heavy bail within the last few days. Many others have been sentenced to the county penitentiary. The judges have agreed among them selves to give single men six months and married men three. The crusade has brought to light some strange things in the New York law against carrying concealed weapons A dis tinction that no one seems able to ex- plain Is that the law makes the car- rying of fire arms a misdemeanor and the carrying of knives and daggers, a felony. Another anomaly of the law is that concealment seems to be the crime. rather than possession. A man may parade Broadway carrying an arsenal of daggers and loaded fire- arms, so long as they are carried open ly, and be safe from arrest. Again selling dangerous weapons is only a misdemeanor. The law also reduces the offence to a misdemeanor for per- sons under sixteen years old to carry dangerous weapons.

Weir spoke with some heat; but if he

was pleasantly disappointed The Greek lady

possible that Chrysanthy would communicate with
the Turkish girl, if the two were as intimate as he
concluded they were and thus eventually she might
be restored to the loving of her parents-or
rather of her mother. Blessed portrait, clue to the
happiness of all the world!
