His Wife Looked After That.

In an absorbing article on "The
Influence of the Business Woman
on Home Life" in the November
issue of the Woman's Home Com
panion, Mrs. Anna Steese Richard
SON cites the following true instance
from real life to prove her point that
the less successful husband of the
successful business woman is always
held in contempt.
The superintendent of a large de-
partment store was interviewing an
applicant for the position of floor
walker. The man was well groomed,
well dressed and prosperous looking.
He had some excellent credentials,
too, but, as is customary, he was
obliged to account for every month
of work for three years previous.
He admitted lightly that he had
not worked for the preceding four
months.
"Where were you?" asked the su-
perintendent.

Hadn't seen father and mother for a
good while"
But who supported your family
during that time?" .
"Oh, my. wife looked after that,
Perhaps you have heard of her-Mrs
Blank of Dash & Co."
The superintendent had heard OF
her. He knew her to be one of the
best paid women in that particular
line of business - and a tireless
worker. He looked at the fault
essly groomed man, and said bluntly
Sorry, but we don't want your
kind. We need men who have tc
work, men who cannot take day of
when they happen to feel like it,
And then, as the applicant turned
away with a shrug Of his shoulders
the superintendent, who employs
some two thousand women, re
marked grimly, 'That is what we're
making Of able-bodied men by EN-
ploying women.

Old Negro Refused to Help the Presi-
dent Hunt Bears in Mississippi.

A story comes from Mississippi Of
an interesting incident of the Presi-
dents bear hunting expedition.
The story goes that an old negro
man who has a very fine pack of bear
dogs was asked to accompany the
Presidents hunting party and assist
in locating the bears. The old negro
once belonged to the Hampton's and
declined to help the President find
bears, declaring that he used to hunt
with Mars Wade and could not hunt
with anybody from the north. He
also refused to lend his dogs to the
party according to the story.

Wefssager promptly delivered the
line, which Mr.. Wachter as promptly
rehearsed. Frank always was quick

and spoke the line in voice that could

Instantly there was q. mad scramble
