The incorruptibility of English
Judges is practically beyond dispute,
vet some of the countrymen of the
Judges do not realize it. Judge
Morris tells of a case IN which an
Irish baronet, who held strong no
tons as to the divine rights of land
lords, refused to pay for the dam
ages done by his deer to the turnip
crop of a farmer into whose fields
they had broken. The baronet's
point was that the deer were wild
and that therefore he could not be
held responsible for them. The
ceUrt, needless to say, made short
work of his plea. But before the
case came On he must needs have

REPRo0Fs IN BUSINESS.

Something That Calls For tho Exercise
Of Much Tact. ~.
IF there's ore thing" said the
business man refectivcly, "that calls
for the exercise Of infinite tact it is
the giving Of reproofs. There are Of
course some occasions when the
manner Of rebuking doesn't have to
be taken into consideration--occa-
sions when the reprimand should
be as decisive and sharp as you can
make it. But there are other times
plenty of them--when a quick
word is the worst possible medicine
TO administer. An employer or a
superintendent owes it to his posi-
ton, to say nothing of what he owes
to the men under him, to take into
consideration the kind of man to
whom he is talking. Personally I
don't believe in coddling, but /
know that gradations in reproofs
give weight to those / want to make
emphatic. ~ ....
HEyery one makes mistakes at
one time or another, and Think it's
only fair to be charitable to the en-
ployee who errs through zeal or as
the result of ignorance. If a man
is trying to do his best you know it
or Won ought to, and such a man in
evitably loses his interest in his
work when he is subjected to any,
thing that looks to him like injus-
tiee.
"Some people-and this classified

They'd get more help on the way il

"It's the spirit of cooperation
that I'm trying to hold up as an
