For Miss Ro0ucmorc.

Miss Susan May Iellner was host
css last evening to number Of young
people at the home of her brother,
Mr., aud Mrs, r. b. Zellnor on West
Seventh street at novel entertain
ment given in honor OF her cousin,
Miss Roquemore, Of Georgia, who is
here for the summer. After the
party had gathered the guests par
took in the dining room Of refresh
ments at mystic tea" From cards
which bore only the numbers of items
on the menu, the guests were told
to check four of the thirteen. The
orders were then taken by little girls
VINO acted as mattresses and the
party enjoyed the surprising assort-
ments of catables which included
such orders as tooth picks and pick
les, or cooky boys, cold baked potato
and raw onion. After this the guests
found partners by drawing cards of
Biblical characters as Boaz and Es-
ther, and worked out an ingenious
set of charades. For a correct list,
Miss Nettle Wheatley and Horace
Russell were awarded a gift box of
fine chocolate. Later the guests we're
again taken to the dining room and
were served with a delicious two
course supper.

THE NAN AND HIS JOB.

When you enter the employers Of
lice 10 apply for position let II be
With a clear idea as 10 the price you
are going TO put on yourself and stick
TO that figure. Do not, however. be
afraid TO lower your figure slightly
NJ the start, provided YOU think the
opportunities for advancement good.
II invariably creates good impress
sion for a man TO say "Mr. Employ
err, / am worth more than you want
TO pay. However, ! am willing to
start at 5000 to show you what
can do, with the understanding that
II | make good you win advance me
to $1,000 at the end OF the month"
Both lack OF confidence and over
confidence are to be avoided. A few
months ago a well known building
firm was IN great need OF architec-
tural craftsmen. and was considering
"a young man who has only limited
experience, but demanded the high
est price they we're willing to pay.
The chief craftsman was rather
doubtful, but IN his anxiety to OBJ
tain a man he agreed to take him on
two weeks trial Before time to re-
port for work the young man tele-
graphed that he was sick and could
not take the position, The truth
was that no realized that he was not
worth the large salary he was asking
Apd would not last longer than the
probation period. Thus his over
confidence lost him a valuable per-
manent connection which might have
been his by accepting a slightly lower
salary at the start.
Overconfldence often leads a man
10 say that he can fiji position be-
fore he knows what II really is, In
fact, this is trap frequently set
by employers TO catch the unwary
applicant. The kind Of man they
want is one who says: From what
know OF the proposition, ] be-
lieye l can handle 1t. but would
not like to say 80 definitely until /
know more about the WORK." In
telllgent inquiries about the duties
OF a position are always more offec-
tive than empty boasts.

When a man whose life Is insured
dies his heirs or beneflciaries of his
policy collect the money. When a
home or building or a stock OF mer-
chandise is destroyed the fire insur-
ance adjuster comes around, ascer-
tains the loss, and the company pays
the money. When ship at sea goes
to the bottom and is covered by in
surance, owners lose no sleep over
the loss, but are reimbursed in due
course. These things occur In all
civilized countries, and attract no at
tention, A bank closed its doors the
other day It's depositors were in
sured and the depositors got their
money on the spot. This happened
in Oklahoma, and is attracting a good
deal Of attention. Why should it
attract any more attention than
case OF life insurance or fire insur-
ance or marine insurance? Because,
by some singular psychological trick,
money is the only thing that has
been forgotten or overlooked in the
general application OF the insurance
idea, and Oklahoma is the only state
that seems to have thought OF it,

SERVICE CO.'S.

Citizens al Court House Demand
Improvement and Plan
Remedies

Better public service was the
theme of the meeting of citizens in
the district court room last night and
although the telephone company was
the cause named in the call for the
meeting, the water and light com
pany came in for as much comment
as the other public service company.
The citizens present were interested
primarily in the securing of good
service at equitable rates and any
means which would secure such SER
wee would, according to the senti-
ment Of the meeting, meet the ap-
proval Of the citizens.
Judge r. Il. Lakewood was made
acting chairman Of the meeting and
Mike Lemaster, secretary. Then the
gathering went into an experience
meeting on the subjects named and
the two companies came in for hot
scorings at the hands of several
speakers. The need for an adequate
and dependable water supply was
emphasized as being more immedi-
ately important even than the need
for improvement Of the telephone
service. Among those who took part
in short talks on the situation and
the lessons pointed were Judge r. r.

Rutland. Jan 11.--Dr l.. p Sprague
of the State Laboratory of Hygiene at
Burlington, who has been in this city
during the past two days taking
samples from the local drug stores
and grocery stores, returned to Bur-
lington last night. While in this city
he visited the various drug stores buy
ing different drugs which will be test
ed at the laboratory under the new
drug laws. Samples were taken of
camphor, iodine, Fowler's solution and
other mixtures compounded by the
dealers themselves. He also took
samples of any cough syrups or head
ache powers put up by the druggists
themselves. At-the grocery stores he
took samples of canned goods which
as he stated, looked suspicious "
Each article is paid for and is taken to
the laboratory where it will be ana
lyzed, the report being published in
the quarterly bulletin of the board of
health.
DR.. Sprague was asked last night
II he thought any prosecution would
follow and he said, mo think not,
this being the first offense II any fall
