1t was all on account of the new
order of Public Printer Stillings re-
curing the prefixes of Mr., Mrs. and
Miss when 1 employe addresses an
other during working hours.
1t is in violation of the rule for
Smith to call Jones by his last
name alone.
"Oh, say. Name. where'd you

"A great principle and as Asiatic

degradation of the Japanese wom-

filial obedience should be the cause

strike the American reader as pass

Duty TO parents overshadows all
other duties.
The Japanese maiden, as pure as
the purest Christian virgin, will, at
the command of her father, enter

manners and tender heart, who
hates her life and would gladly de-
stroy it. but refrains because her
purchase money has enabled her
father to pay his debts, and she is

TO THE DEATH

Pity for the smaller dog was
general and several attempts were
made to enter the building. One
man, turning to the Waterman for
the place, offered to stand all ex-
penses if he would break the win
dow and rescue the terrier. This
was refused. With the dying gasp
of the fox terrier the bull, utterly
exhausted, sank to the floor and
slept. The dogs were found thus
in the morning.
1t was the custom to leave the
2 dogs in the store at night and no
trouble had been known to occur
before.
