CAN'T BE CHRISTLIKE
IF A STEN0GRAPHER
Employers Might Be, but Not En-
ployes, Says Miss Selma Nc
Govern After Two
Weeks Trial

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 90. You
can't live as Jesus would and be an en-
ploye of a large Cleveland business
house." says Miss Selma McGovern,
aged Il, who attempted to begin living
two weeks as she thinks Christ would.
Two days of the experiment convinced
her of its impossibility in Cleveland
business life.
1T can't be done by an employee .
she said. 1.-THE employer himself might
carry the morality Of Jesus into his
business if he chose. The case is not
hopeless. But the employer-at least,
my employer-doesn't. And it is sui
cidal for the employe to attempt it.
'Christ's morality and business tact
clash. An employe insisting upon rigid
honesty would be discharged instantly
| don't mean to say my firm is dis
honest. Along broad lines it isn't. But
the department managers resort to
many eVasions Of the truth in order to
escape unpleasant consequences.
For instance, a retail store is writ
ing or wiring in for an explanation Of
why a certain order has not been sent
The reply is that it is the fault of the
manufacturer. We have punched them
up several times already. We will do so
again at once, and no doubt the order
will soon be shipped So the letter
runs.
Perhaps the manufacturer has been
punched up. That may all be true-but
after writing the letter, the department
head may or may not make good his
word. Most always he doesn't.
mo doubt it is necessary in business
to tell that kind OF lies. But Jesus
wouldn't. And when [ type the letter
must tell the lie, too. Jesus wouldn't
be implicated in the lie. He would re-
fuse to write it. If L did that 1 would
lose my position"

NEW YORK SURGEONS
OPERATE ON BIG RHINO
MoguI Given Anesthetic While White
Coated Physicians Remove
Cataract to Prevent
Blindness

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-ChIoroforrn.
White-coated physicians and all the
usual appurtenances of a modern hos
pital were employed in the operation
for cataract upon Mogul, the big In
dian rhinoceros, in the new elephant
house of the Bronx geological gardens.
For eighteen. minutes the huge animal
lay unconscious under the anaesthetic
while the attempt to relieve him of
blindness was being made. When it
was all over he proved himself a lively
and keen-sighted patient by tearing
the back out of a keepers coat nth an
accurate thrust of his horn.
MoguPs trouble was the result of an
injury received while he was being
captured in an Indian jungle two years
ago. He was operated upon last year,
but only partially recovered. DR.. George
B. Van Mater of 682 Greene avenue,
Brooklyn, was in charge of the case,
and was assisted by DR.. F. c. Grenside,
president of the Veterinary Medical
society, and DR.. ID. J. Mangan. Stu
dents from the veterinary department
of New York university were present
The patient was carefully scrubbed
and was then hobbled. Bags of fresh
hay were laid on the floor and eight
men tugged at the hobbies until MogUI
sank over on his side. Chloroform was
applied, but it was eight minutes be-
fore Mogul .Iapsed into unconsclousness
In his final struggles the rhinoceros
was able to reach Dick Richards, one
of the keepers, injuring his knee.
After cocaine had been dropped in
both eyes DR.. Van Mater punctured the
envelope of the cataract in two places
and drained the wound in eighteen min
utes. MoguIs eyes and head were then
washed and the hobbies removed. Two
minutes afterward Mogul blinked few
times and struggled to his feet.
Walter Truman, one of the keepers,
entered the cage with a prod, thinking
to test the big fellows eyesight. Mo-
gul charged. Truman made a flying
leap for the bars and reached them
just as the rhinoceros hooked his horn
under the tail of the keepers coat.
DR.. Blair said that he considered the
attempt to remove the cataract entirely
successful so far as can be judged at
this time. He said that it will be a
month before the final result can be
observed.
