THE MAN AND HIS JOB.
(By Herbert j. Hapgood.)

A business house whose employ
ees are not each and Gll adapted
to their respective tasks Is in much
the same condition as the watch
with which the four-year-old joy
of the household had been amusing
himself. BY way of little innocent
pastime, the child had taken the
works all out and then put them
together aIgain. After having finish
ed the job to his own approval
and entire satisfaction, he brought
the watch to his grandfather with
the information that he had put
everything together all right only
there were one or two little wheels
left out.
That watch must have run with
about as much regularity as the
business organization whose en-
ployees are selected and consigned
to their work without due consid.
GRAFTON of their ability TO master
the particular situation. Many
good men have been rendered
worthless by being put on the
wrong job. A man may be a
good bookkeeper, but as an exc
cutiye or statesmen, wouldn't be
worth carfare home.
Build up the human side of your
business like the wheels, the
springs, and the jewelt of a good
watch, Let every unit of human
energy be valuable in himself but
sun more valuable when put in
the right place.

Boys Experimenting with Kite

in the Village.

A school teacher i'm the village

nigh frightened out of their wits
one evening last week, when It
became apparent to the villagers
that the end of the world was

dering why the end of earthly
material pleasures failed to come
to pass.
The night, which was a very
unusual one was started late one
evening, when a good villager left
his house to ''take look TO see
If everything was alright had a
glaring, brilliant and almost sta
tionary light high up in the heav-
ems meet his vision. 1t was not
long before goodly portion of
the village was out to see the
phenomenon. The sight was strange
unusual, startling, and frightful
and there was sufficient conjectur-
inly for some time as to what the
mysterious light could be.
"a comet?" said one. "Nay, a
meteor. said n second. "A hob
goblin" added a third As the
strange sight held their gaze hour
after hour Gabriel's horn was
thought to have been heard by
one of the elder persons and the
moon was seen to have a green
ish color Certainly the end had
come. Prayers were said and real
estate went down
Hour after hour the strange
sight was watched until Orpheus
embraced a number of them with
trembling arms. Finally, the East
ern horizon became lighter and
the frightened population were sur
prised to find that the sun was
rising and that one more day
could be added to the list. There
is still enough guess work among
those, who saw the phenomenon
as to what the strange light could
have been. Night after night the
light was looked for but has since
failed to appear.
1t was held by those who were
under the spell of the light that
there could be no wiser person
to inquire Of than the village
school teachers and they in turn
were asked with due apology for
Ignorance of things astronomical.
The pedagoges wrinkled their
brows learnedly and soon the ex-
planation was at hand One of the
younger lads in the schools had
refused his teachers explanation
or lifting a lantern in a kite.
"hereupon the teacher agreed 10
accompany the youth out of the
town that night and try the ex-
pertinent. The kite with its LIGHT
ed lantern within sailed high into
the heavens and beautifully did II
stand with its beams shining radI-
antly.
"Gosh all hemlock," lgasped the
villagers, as he bit his lip, strok
ed his beard, and started home
to tell his wife.
