1T is one thing to get a position; it
is another thing to keep it. Getting
a position requires tact. forcefulness
and perspicuity; keeping position is
an art. Getting positions is accom-
plished by large number of men and
women, but the number of those who
can keep positions is but small.
when one starts to look for a po-
sition. he must possess the qualities
of cleanliness. clearncss and perspic-
uity. So much depends upon the first
Impression. Lax methods. unkept hair.
solled fingers. nesktie awry. and con-
fused speech are some OF the faults
that destroy the chances OF an appii-
cant When man who is conducting
a successful business adyertises for a
ia nitor or private secretary, he goes
to his office and finds several dozen
applicants awaiting him. He hears
them, one by one. and notices that
THIS young man has failed to polish
his shoes. that that young woman
talks with discordant slang, that So
and-so is CARRYING the end of cigar
cite in his yellow, nicotined fingers. or
that Miss This-and-That is over-adorn
cd with cheap jewelry. He finds that
one young man is utterly. incapable OF
expressing himself clearly, and that
another has a newspaper with chart
OF the horse-races sticking from his
pocket. Each applicant Is denied Il
chance because his outward appear
ance arouses suspicion; and the mcr-
chant, sick, disheartened and disgust
ed with humanity. goes home. or to his
club. to forget his unpleasant half
day. These statements may seem ex-
aggerated. but they are the plain, UNI
vanished experiences that business
men encounter every day. Frequently
employers are Obliged to engage SLOW
emily, untldy men and women whom
they dislike. because the advances of
their business demand more workers
and the right kind is not to be had:
but You may be assured that, when
business slackens. such employees are
the first to go.
In all matters 1t is best to speak
plainly. Clear, concise, transparent On
pressions are the ones that carry the
most weight. Speech Is a wonderful
indicator of character. The art. Of
speaking plainly ana clearly is as nee
esSary a part of ones education as are

HALF FARE FOR cLEReYMEN
"Pennsy' VIII Renew Privilege TO
the Cloth March I.

The Pennsylvania railroad will re-
new the half-fare tickets to ciergymen
on March l. This matter was held
up by the railroad officials pending
the court decision on the 2-cent-a-
mile rate bill passed by the Pennsyl-
wanna legislature. 1t was urged that
if the law was sustained the privilege
heretofore granted to clergymen
might be rescinded, as the company
could not operate its passenger trains
in that state profitably under the new
law. Therefore, full fare would have
to be demanded of ALI patrons. The
courts have recently decided the law
unconstitutional. and the railroad will
renew the ministerial favor.
officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
have not vet acted on the proposition.
This road, however, was but little af-
fected by the PENNSYLVANIA law and
never Formally took away the privi-
lege. ~

More lumber was cut IN the United
States last year than In any other
year IN its history. The enormous
amount Of 37,550,73G board feet vaass
