more celebrity than the two preceding

Office Boys Joke That Was Appre-

In large Chicago office, where the
value Of system and order is appre-

manager insists must never be
broken is: Everything must be in
its proper place" The clerk who has
to look for an article which has a
designated place receives a mark
against his name, and second Of
fense Is sure to bring him a repri-
mand. One day recently the boy
whose duty it is to affix stamps on the
outgoing mail found on his desk a
hat, pair of gloves and broken box
of cigarettes. The initials in the hat
gave him a clew, and after making a
red ink mark against Rule No. 6, he
placed the articles and the Office code
Oh the desk of the Junior partner and
then told the other boys: I'm fred"

found that his wages had been raised
