Value CT the Bonus.

The bonus is a great institution. It's
advantages over an increase Of salary
are manifold. An employe looking for
ward to a Christmas or New Year
present of ten to 80 per cent Of bis
annual salary will toll pretty hard 10
make a prosperous year. Bonus hangs
upon prosperity. Il Is a saving clause
for the employer. He can say al the
close Of a bad year: Boys. We haven {
paid expenses In the last Il months.
so We can't AFFORD to give you a
bonus" or We are too poor TO de
clare a dividend. you viii have 70

IS $1,000 a year 20 receive a bonus OF
50 per cent That makes his salary

Not Calves, But Calves.

That butcher shops are the places
for startling revelations of various
sorts was illustrated the other day
when a passel by, glancing In at the
window of one Of them. saw two sur
prising exhibits One was a tray con-
tanning brains the other was a very
fine liver. On the first was placed q
placard neatly lettered by hand; on
the second was another: One read
Calves brains;" the other Calves
liver" There was no spacing between
the last two letters of the first word in
either case, and the possessiye mark
was over the letter e."
But the shock soon passed when the
butcher assured the passerby he had
no desire TO convey the impression
that the famous French singer had
been dissected.
