Co. Announces New Idea
in Welfare Work

new idea in welfare work was de-
veloped by Weinstock, Lubin & Co.
when the directors announced to the
300 employees yesterday that the firm
had purchased 10 acre tract in the
Santa Cruz mountains and had fitted
it up with tents and all camping
paraphernalia for the sole purpose of
providing a suitable spot in which the
workers at the store could spend their
summer vacations. Such was the en-
thusiasm and cheering that greeted
the announcement that whatever
doubts the firm might have had re-
garding the plan were instantly dis
PEELED.
The tract is close to the San Lorenzo
river and offers every opportunity to
hunt, fish, romp, ride and swim. The
announcement was made prior to the
opening of the store in the morning.
Steiner street has been engaged and
the leaguers will set the ball rolling
against the push" men in the district,
who are claiming everything in sight
without much to base their boasts
upon.

NEGROES OF NEW YORK.
Consideration of Certain Phases of the
Color Problem.

Consideration of Certain Phases of the
Color Problem.
Ray Stannard Baker tells story af-
ter story of the troubles of negroes in
the north, in the American Magazine.
In New York Mr.. Baker had a talk
with William L. Buckley, the negro
principal of School No. so, attended
chiefly by negro children, who told
him of the great difficulties and dis
couragements which confronted the
negro boy who wanted to earn his
living. He relates this story:
Il received a communication the
other day from an electric company
stating that they could use some
bright, clean, industrious boys in their
business, starting them at so much a
week and aiding them to learn the
business. | suspected that they did
not comprehend negro boys under
the generic terms boys" but thought
to try. SO | wrote asking if they
would give employment 10 a negro
boy who could answer to the qualifi-
cations stated. The next mail
brought the expected reply that no
negro boy, however promising. was
wanted. l heaved a sigh and went on.
THE saddest thing that faces me
in my work is the small opportunity
for a negro boy or girl TO find proper
employment. A boy comes TO my Of
flee and asks for his working papers
He may be we'll up in the school,
possibly with graduation only a few
months off. 1 question him some
what as follows: Well my boy, you
want to go to work, do you? What
are you going to do?' I am going to
be a doorboy sir We'll, you will get
$3.50 or SO a week. but after awhile
that will not be enough; what them
After a moments pause he will reply,
L should like to be an office boy
We'll what next moments si-
lence, and. I should try to get a pO-
sition as bell-bOy. Well, then what
neXt?' A rather cOntemplative mood
and then 1 should try to get a
position of head bellbOy. He has
now arrived at the top; farther than
this he sees no hope. He must face
the bald fact that he must entrr bus
mess as boy and wind up as q 10y.

WHEN AUTHORITY VANISHED.-"Some
years ago" says an Indianapolis law
yer, "a certain county district of In
diana boasted of a justice who was
oppressively imbued with an idea Of
his own responsibility in seeing that
the peace was kept in his bailiwick
He never lost an opportunity to show
his authority. Now, this justice Of
the peace was also a farmer, and his
farm bordered on the state of Ohio;
indeed, one of his fences was exactly
on the state line.
"One day his son and a hired man
irdulged in a fistic encounter near this
line fence. The justice, quick TO see
the situation, jumped to the fence, as
better bench of justice. and assailed
the fighters, demanding peace in the
name of the state of Indiana
mo sooner, however, had the jus
tice farmer asserted his authority than
the fence upon which he was perched
gave way, carrying him over back
ward-into the state of Ohio. AS he
felt himself falling he shouted to his
son:
Soak it to him good, Bill! I've lost
my jurisdiction!' !'"-Philadelphia Led

UNINHERITED FORGETFULNESS. - 1t
was severe trial to Mr.. Harding that
his only sons memory was not all that
could be desired. Where in the world
he got such a forgetful streak from is
beyond me-" said the exasperated faith
er to his wife on one occasion.
What has he forgotten now?" ask
ed Mrs. Harding, with downcast eyes
and a demure expression.
1.-The figures of the last return from
the election on the bulletin board,
and Mr.. Harding inserted a finger in
his collar as if to loosen it, and shook
his head vehemently. Looked at 'em
as he came past not half an hour ago,
and now can't tell me.
"As 1 said to him, If you're so stu
pid you can't keep few simple figures
in your head, why don't you write 'em
down on a piece of paper, as l do
and have done all my life, long before
was your age?"-Youth's Companion.

THE GIFT TO AN EXPLORER
"Peary." said a geographer of Chicago,
never started on one of his eXplor-
ing expeditions without receiving by
mail and express all sorts of packages
from cranks-cOwhide underwear. tea
tablets, medicated boots and what not.
"Peary once told me that George
Ade, a few days before the start of his
last trip, wired him to expect an i'm
portant package by express.
THE package came. 1t was label
led:
ITO be opened at the furtheSt point

"Peary opened it at once, however.
Ii was a small keg inscribed:

they encourage it somehow, and listen
through weakness rather than any
evil intent 1t gets to be habit to
talk about certain other women, es-
pecially if they are not commonplace.
Take my advice and meet all silly
or even serious tales with a smile of
perfect fearlessness. Then keep as
far away, as possible from the women
who make a practice of that sort of
small talk.
discourage gossip about others,
for you may be sure that with the born
gossiper the absent one is always
the victim and you will probably get
IL next. But do not exaggerate the
importance Of idle rumors or allow
them to disturb them.
Don't worry about gossip. There
are only four or five real troubles in
the world, and gossip is not one of
them. Friends or acquaintances who
would allow story to influence them
against you are not worth the keep
ing.

attic beauty, for Of course stage wo-
men come in for that sort of thing.
For years there were more volumes Of
stories repeated about her than about
any one else / believe before or since.
And they were not pleasant stories, all
of them, either.
But she went serenely on her way
and paid no attention to anything she
heard beyond a smile of pity or amuse-
ment If ever there was a living proof
of the fact that gossip cannot hurt
those who stand fearlessly against it
she is one today, possessed as she is
o. an almost magic youth and beauty
beyond that which was hers some
years ago.
Gossip is much of an evil, but not
on unmiXed i'll. If you know that
your friends may be gossiping about
your faults, small or large, you will
naturally seek to avoid the faults.
You will resent their attitude Of criti-
cism and will instinctively move to
combat it. This must be done in a
good natured mood. You must not
allow talk to ruffie your mental equi-
librium, as I fear you have done.
Men gossipers do not last with 9TH
er men of the right sort. Women, on
the contrary, manage to go about from
one house to another spreading sto-
ries under the pledge of secrecy.
Many women come to me suffering
from the same trouble as yours. But
| reassert that women who do this
sort of thing will not last with self
respecting people. No matter how the
libel is worded or under what guise ii
is spread, the right minded hearer will
take it for what it is worth and will
set down the gOssiper where she be-
longs.
IF women would not combat the
gossip microbe it would die out. But

THE BRUsQUE HOsT.-George Conk-

talking to a reporter at the circus in
New York.
"The secret of animal training is
gentleness. Nothing sudden or brus-

caress may anger an animal more than

never go, no matter how we'll they are

Too MUCH RISK.-At the two big
naval banquets at the Fairmont and
the st. Francis an expert, taking the
fiashlight pictures used a new method
by which all the smoke was instantly
collected and absorbed, SO that none
got loose in the room.
That reminds me-" said Col. George
Pippy. "of a cook we had down at the
dairy. He had an idea he could con-
dense the smoke from the kitchen
stove He rigged a bag on top of the
chimney. Old barley sack, had some
kerosene spilled on it. Sparks went
up, sack ignited, set fire to the roof;
almost burned the house down"

The primary object of business men
I'm buying Fire Insurance Is that they
may be indemnifed against loss In

the insurance carried but 1t Is an un-
deniable fact that many who Insure,
give the matter Of quality a great deal
less consideration than they do many
Of the most trivial affairs Of life. II
is a fact that all the stock companies
doing business in this state use the
same policy form, but there is diff
ference in the methods of the compa-
nies in adjusting losses. Some are
liberal and determined that all honest
claims shall be settled satisfactorily to
the insured and others are not. l have
more than a dozen fire companies In
