Ore Corporation Publishes a Text
book FOR New Employees.
A large corporation has lately.
SHOWN it's appreciation of the value Of
giving new employees a thorough gen
eral knowledge of the business by
publishing book describing in an in
terestinG fashion all the details of the
con-pany's work.
1t is a volume of over 200 pages,
illustrated with fac simile cuts Of va
rious reports and other forms used.
A copy is furnished every employe
and he is expected to master not
merely the portions pertaining to his
own work, but the entire book.
QuizZes ere held at frequent inter-
walls throughout the organization and
dismissal is the penalty for ignorance
of any subject treated in the volume.
at costs us about $4,000 to publish
this book" says the president Of the
company, "but we consider it money
we'll invested and we are planning to
issue a new and up-to-date edition
every year.
when man enters our employ he
is told to read this manual and do
nothing else until he has thoroughly
mastered it. This gives him gen.
eral knowledge of the business, and
if there are any points he does not
understand they are cleared up before
he begins work"

SITTING 1T OUT.

A Sharp Attack Which Brought the
Young Man to His Feet.
He was fragile youth and didn't
dance all the dances.
Lets sit it out" he said to his pref
ty partner.
''On the stairs?" she suggested.
So they went up and sat down
"Ah!" cried the fragile youth sud-
denly, and rose hastily, gasping for
breath.
"Why, Mr.. stackpole, what's the
matter?' cried the fair young girl.
He could not answer. His face was
1ivid, his eyes were rolling, and his
whole frame was shaking. "
What kind of attack is it," she
gasped. And at this Interrogation his
voice returned to him.
"What earthly difference does that
make" he growled, $50 long as it was
one?"
Then, without word of apology, he
strobe manfully away.
But how was she to know that the
particular description of attack was
just an ordinary tack, acrobatically
standing on it's head?'

A Mind Reader.

than a scratch, it is true, but his en-
ployer had visions Of being compelled
to keep him for life, and had adopted
the wise course of sending him at
once to the hospital After the house
surgeon had examined him carefully,
he said to the nurse:
''As subcutaneous abrasion is not
observable, I do not think there is
any reason to apprehend tegurn entail

Then, turning to the patient, he

"Sure, SIR said Pat, you're a

field Dwelling as It Is
Moved.
PUZZLED ABOUT THE
DELIVERY OF MAIL
And the Butcher, Baker and Cam
dIestick Maker Must Chase
En- Up.

The old Gottschalk house, in Glen
wood avenue, is to be moved through
the streets of Bloomfield. to the cor
ner of Second and Thomas streets, with
the Gottschalk family continuing to
live in it.
The family expects to be three days
en- route through the city, as the house
is large and win be difficult to move.
Miss Mary Conlan took a fancy to
the house a long time ago and has just
purchased it. She wants it on the
Thomas street site, where she will re-
model it, making extensive alterations.
But members of the Gottschalk fam
lily, who have made the house their
home for many years, could not move
Immediately, even il they SO desired,
and Miss Conlan, in making the pur-
chase, gave them several months in
which to vacate.
The house viii be moved at once.
This spectacle of a large dwelling, with
a family and all its furnishings in it,
being moved through the streets, will
create considerable interest. So far as
the contractors know, such a feat has
not been attempted in this section be-
fore.
of course, the family will not enjoy
the city water supply or gas, while
en- route, but will use kerosene lamps.
Barrels of water win be carried on the
back porch, which will be moved along
with the house. Outside of these incon-
veniences the family expects to enjoy
the trip.
Just how the Gottschalk family eX-
poets to have it's mail delivered for three
days is a mystery, as it will have no
permanent address. But probably let
tiers addressed zen route" will reach
them. The grocer and the butcher will
have to keep pretty we'll posted on the
progress of the so as to know
where to deliver orders.
AS the law requires that all school
children must have a permanent ad-
dress, there is some uneasiness in the
Gottschalk family, but vacation is al
most at hand and it will not make so
much difference.

ALDERMEN WON'T
LOWER TAX FOR
WESTERN UNION
Latter's Legal Representative
Makes Appeal and Threatens
to Seek an Injunction.

Z For half an h0ur Francis M. Whit
ney, a lawyer, pleaded with the finance
committee of Common Council to reduce
the taxes on personal property of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, as
sessed in 1906 and 1907. The company
paid $4,000 in 1906, whitney said, but
objected to pay an additional tax fer
that yea of $4,000. In 1907 the tax was
$500, and the company would not pay
it, saying it was excessive.
Robert L. Ross. tax receiver, said it
was up to the State Tax Board to set
tie that matter, as the assessment for
1907 is in the hands of that body, and he
also said the additional assessment in
1906 was ordered by the County Board
of Equalization of Taxes.
City Counsel Nugent said the COM
pany must pay, for it had time to APP
peal from the assessment and did not do
it. The committee then refused to re-
duce the taxes and Mr.. Whitney said
he would apply to the courts for All
injunction.

THE SHREW- MOUSE.

F" HE shrew. or shrew-mouse, as it
is commonly called, is found in
nearly all parts of the world. 1t
is distinguished by an elongated, pointed
muzzle, small eyes, plantigrade, six
toed feet and glands that secrete a
musky fluid. Altogether it closely re-
sembles a mouse. but it is really not
related to the mouse family.
When at home. it is either under a
pile of rubbish or in a hole, which 1t
has burrowed in the earth. 1t is noe
turnal in it's habits. but perfectly harm
less; yet at one tome 1t was much dis
liked and prosecuted because it was
thought TO be a dangerous, miscellaneous
animal. Among the Italians the notion
vas prevalent that the bite of tho
shrew was extremely poisonous. The
French and the English believed that If
a shrew ran over an animals foot the
animal felt great pain and eventually
became paralyzed. Hence If a horse, a
COW, or a goat became a little stiff in its
limbs the foolish people at once declared
it "shrew-struck," and the poor shrews
had TO suffer in consequence.
OF course, the "shrew-struek" animal
had to have something to cure it; so an
ash tree was selected and a deep hole
was bored into its trunk. Then a shrew
was captured, put alive into the hole,
the hole was securely plugged and the
innocent little animal was left to die of
starvation.
The ignorant believed that, after such
an act, the ash tree had power to cure
"shrew-struck' animals. and whenever
an animal became inactive or a little
numb in its limbs, its owner hurried to
the "shrew-ash.' cut a switch from it
and switched the "shrew-struck'' beast.
The smarting caused by the switching
naturally made the helpless animal
move about as much as 1t possibly
could and in a short time it was pro-
nounced cured"

I'm A ROBBER,

Little Margaret KnOwlton
Tells Judge.
YOUNGEST HOUSEBREAKER
BLAMED FOR MANY THEFTS
Raided One Home Three Times,
She Admits-Small Brother
Told on Her."

MOUNT HOLLY, June 4-Twelve-
year-old Margaret Know1ton, a regular
girlish version of 'Huckleberry Finn"
pronounced by the court as a confirmed
incorrigible, has beer sentenced to the
State Reformatory for Girls, after con-
Tossing to a series of house robberies.
Never before in this section of New
Jersey has any one ever heard or knew
of either a boy or a girl, big or little,
who had one-third the mischief of bad
ness in them that Margaret Knowlton
has. "She is a genuine bad girl" said
the court, and the place for her is the
-reformatory."
She heard the remarks of Judge Hor-
ner with the same indifference which
she displayed when confessing. to fore
ing al entrance into Riverton dwell
ings.
Robbed One House Three Times.
The specific charge on which the girl
was arrested was that of breaking into
and robbing the home of Mrs. Margaret
Schroeder, of East Riverton. Three
times the house had been entered and
articles stolen, and Margaret admitted
that she was the one who had COM
mitted the robberies.
They were petty robberies and the
girl would Rsve probably escaped with
a reprimandi from Judge Horner had
1t not been for the large number of
Riverton residents who were on hand
to testify that Margaret was far worse,
they believed than any child in the
whole of New Jersey.
"She beats any boy I ever saw said
Squire 4eigler. "She has given us more
trouble than Wen get over in a long
time. Why, these house robberies were
done in such a clever way that we
thought sure it was the work of ex-
perts."
