BY George Chester in the Chicago
Tribune.
Miller had a new office boy and he
wanted to know If the lad was honest.
Many employers are troubled with this
curiosity. Some of them wait until
something Happens to let them know
the answer. Miller didn't. He want
ed to find out at once. Therefore on
the first day of the new Johnny's en-
ployment there We're distributed
around and on Johnnys little mailing
table two quarters, a dime and a
nickel.
IF he is dishonest" unused Miller.
sit will cost only IS cents for me to
find out. L he isn't the information
will be free of cost
This is well known test If by ac-
ciGent you remember your Sunday
school lesson you know how two boys
started out in life in the same office.
how the employer tested them by put
ting money in their reach, how one
stole the quarter and said naught of
it, and how the other, holding the
quarter between this thumb and fore
finger. marched proudly up to his en-
ployer and said: Pardon me. sir, but
did you lose this? If not, some one else
did, and though 1 have found it and
could have kept it without a word, far
be it from little Gerald Good to dc
anything of the sort" And then, il
YOU remember. the little bad boy was
cast out into the outer darkness, where
there was nothing for him to do but
spend the quarter, and Gerald Coco
was made much of adm vice president Of
| the firm.
| So Miller was following established
precedent when he scattered the g.
cents within the reach of the unknown
| Johnny.
! Johnny took the money. He took al
of it, slipped it into his pocket, anG
went on with his work. This was ir
the middle of the day. Miller shook his
head, for he was sorry to find dishon-
esty in one so young.
Al A in the afternoon, when Johnny
had his mail taken care of, he came
up to his employers desk. He wasn'1
| proud and no light of virtue shone II
his eyes, but in a weary sort of way
he tossed two quarters, dime, and {
nickel before the boss eyes.
Gee, but some people make me
tired" he said II didn't suppose any.

THE HAIR THAT WOMEN WEAR.
Cedar Rapids Republican,.

AS the heart to hear man of Amer
lean Journalism, Mr.. Box has warned
the women Of America against much
of the false hair that is imported and
manufactured in this country. He in
Inmates that much of it is saturated
with vermin and with disease germs.
Why not? Why should not a woman
have few shudders and shiyers as
she puts on her head that which was
once worn on some other head? Whose
head?
What a silly custom it is, anyway.
Why should not a woman be satisfied
with her own hair? Our mothers were
satisfied with that and has any one
ever looked better to us than our
mothers, those dear old-fashioned
women whose lives were benedictions
and whose memories are hallowed.
They used to wear their hair parted
in the middle, loosened over the tenn
ples-that was all that was necessary
in the good old days.
But nowadays the average woman
thinks that she must put on her head
mass of stuff, variously raised and
projected by the use of rats and coils
and the Lord knows what Then over
head thus built up into the size Of a
half bushel measure they place hat
that is as high and as big as whole
bushel basket of shavings. They call
that being modern, being in style, up
| to-date and what not. And the brains
that have the least contest are apt to
have the biggest covering. The whole
thing is abnormal, vulgar and repul

| may not be such, not always, but oft
en-, but that is what it suggests and
the whole is still controlled by sugges

All that can be said for Mr.. Box is

MORE ABOUT THE HOUSE FLY.

The Chicago health department is
continuing its crusade against the
house fly. Bulletins are being issued,
almost every week in which the warn
ing is sounded against the invasion
of this pest. In a bulletin issued Sat
urday the danger of infection with
tuberculosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever
and typhoid fever is shown. After
matter of a person sick with these
diseases, the bulletin warns, they
may go direct to your baby's crib, II
your food, to your drink or perhaps to
a small open wound on your face OIL
hands and deposit the germs of these
diseases. When these germs are de
posted in your milk supply they null
tiply fast, therefore milk should never
be exposed to flies"
The health department gives a lisl
of suggestions for protection from
flies, which, if followed, would greatly
lessen the danger of Infection They
are:
Screen your windows and doors be
fore fly time and keep the screens "
place until snow falls.
Keep flies away from foodstuffs.
Kill every fly that enters the SICK
room. Keep the patients bed screen
ed.
Catch the flies as fast as they ap
pear Use the sticky fly papers, traps
and liquid poisons.
To clear rooms of flies burn pyreth
rum powder or blow black flag in1c
the air of the room. These do no
hn thnu 1o1nrn1v CT 81
and fall to the floor. They must theI
be gathered up and destroyed.
Eliminate the breeding places y
fiies-this is important.
Keep garbage receptacles tight.

MISS TICHENOR'S HOME
ROBBED in HER ABSENCE.
Thieves Second Visit in Two
Years Nets 81 900.

For the second time in less than two
years the home of Miss Anna L. Tiche-
nor, at 1042 Broad street, has been
broken into and robbed during the ap-
of the family. The latest rob-
berry took place some time between No
yember % and yesterday, when 1t was
discovered by Miss Tichenor.
The house had been closed since No
yember 28, following the marriage OF
Miss Ttehenor's niece, Miss Irene Ham
ilton, daughter of Mrs. C. Virginia
Hamilton, to James H.. Young, of New
ton. Mass. Previous to that time Mrs.
Hamilton and her daughter lived with
Miss Tichenor. .gaa.
After the wedding the household
goods were packed and the house
closed. Miss Tichenor moving to The
Alvord, in East Orange. Yesterday she
visited the house and found 1t had been
ransacked from cellar to roof, and the
contents Of trunks, boxes and drawers
were strewn all over the floors.
A nasty inventory showed that q
sealskin coat, valued at $500, some ex-
pensive pieces of fancy work, bric-a-
brac and rare books were missing, ar
well as a miscellaneous lot Of clothing.
The thieves were evidently looking
for Jewelry and silverware, but wers
disappointed as all such goods had been
stored in a downtown storage vault.
Miss Tichenor thinks 1000 will cove,
the amount of loot taken by the thieves.
The police were at once notified, but
have little to work on. The thieves
entered by q rea window and left by
the front basement door. That they
took their time in searching tho houso
is evidenced by the fact that IN every
room of the house they left burnt
matches and paper and stub ends of
candles. Valuable chinaware packed in
barrels was not touched, but boxes
whose appearances indicated they
might contain silverware were brokea
open and examined.
The first robbery of the house toox
place during the latter part of May,
1908. when a small sum of money, som,
Jewelry, trinkets and costly bric-a-brav
were carried off. The loss at that time
was about $500.

URGES CHURCH HEARERS TO
AID in SETTLING STRIKE.
Lecturer Talks on Causes of
Labor Troubles,

William Mailly, of New York, in an
address in the Third Presbyterian
Church last night, urged his hearers to
do all In their power to end the shirt
waist strike. THE church," he said,
should use its influence to establish a
friendly relation between employees and
their employers. This present action is
not a mere squabble between capital
and labor, but an endeavor to establish
economic principles.
Regarding the many causes of strikes
the speaker attributed them to two
things-unsanitary conditions and un-
fair wages. Another cause. he said. is
the fact that an employer, finding that
he is losing by competition, proceeds to
his employees wages. He concluded
his discourse with u short resume Of
the strike, it's consequences and the
methods of the strikers.
