ONE QUESTION ALWAYS ASKED
Employer Of Labor Wants to Know
II Formation Of Jaw Is Natural
or Acquired.

"There Is one question l always ask
a man who wants job" remarked
the business man who has to hire
several hundred men for different po-
sitions each year.
THE question / always ask them
is: Do you smoke a pipe much? OF
course the answers are various. Some
of them smoke pipe great deal and
others not at all Some smoke Gig
arettes, although l seldom can get a
man to admit it. There seems to be a
general guilty feeling when man is a
cigarette smoker Some of them
smoke cigars. My business is such
that it makes very little difference to
their availability to me no matter
what they smoke.
why do l ask about the pipe? Well,
not that l have the least interest in
their habits, or that | have any pre-
JUDGE one way or another in the mat
natter The reason is that / want to
know whether the formation Of their
lower jaws Is natural or acquired
"A man with a firm lower jaw Is al
ways man Of parts and of will.
say always anyway, most always. II
he does not smoke pipe his square
Jaw, back near where it hinges on to
the upper one, is natural. If he is a
pipe smoker the looks are deceiving,
and / have to Judge his caliber some
other way.
Pipe smokers always have strong
muscles back on the face about the
place man stops when he makes the
first stroke downward in shaving
These are the muscles that hold the
Jaws together. They often give a
square-jawed effect to man who
hasn't any square-jaw characteristics
My men think ask funny questions
/ but there's a reason"

THE CONCIERGE.
Tyrant Rule az the Autocrat Of the
Partisan Flat House.

The ~roncieFge- Is considered 10 be
the bane Of the Partisan fat dwelIer's
existence. Els functions are supposed
to be the following:
The first and most important is 70
collect the rent on quarter day; after
that be must see that the tenants do
not surrepiitiously remove. The latter
precaution seems to be somewhat I'M
necessary, as rents in Paris are always
paid In advance.
He should also bring up your letters
Mt least twice day, but as the con-
cierge is generally a stout, middle aged
woman who has decided objection to
climbing stairs the latter regulation re-
mains somewhat Of a dead letter.
In Paris the front door of most
houses is generally closed ait 10 o'clock.
After that time admittance can only be
obtained by ringing bell. The con-
cierge is obliged to open the door, and
she does this. as soon as she is awake.
by pulling rope which hangs by her
bedside.
If she is a sound sleeper and you are
accustomed to come home late at night
the best thing TO do is to look for an
other fiat, as the concierge win put you
down as "bad tenant and make
things as unpleasant for yon as posi-
Bile.
If you never stop out late at night,
receive very few friends and fee her
heavily at Christmas, the concierge
viii consider you as good tenant
until you give notice to leave. when
her interest in you suddenly vanishes.
AS there is nothing more to be ex-
pected from you and the incoming ten
ant is obliged to give a substantial tip
called a ''denier Dieu," she Is anx-
ious to speed the parting guest as
much as possible.
The concierge does sometimes make
final effort to extract something more
from you by attempting to make you
pay franc for every nail knocked in
the walls Of your fat but this has been
decided to be Illegal and may be safely
resisted
But the Partisan concierge is really
unpopular because she represents d
landlord London Mail.

A DELAYED LETTER.
And What Happened When the Missive
Was Finally Recovered.

Was Finally Recovered.
The vagaries of the postal service
are sometimes beyond the understand
ing of the layman. In March of last
year q man In New York received a
letter from friend in England, writ
ten when on the point of sailing for
Philadelphia, urgently requesting him
to return a loan Of $40. The man who
wrote the letter needed funds and
would the debtor kindly send the
money to him, care of the steamship
line at Philadelphia? The man in New
York saw that his friend would reach
Philadelphia within day or two. so
he promptly clapped a ten dollar bill in
an envelope and addressed and mailed
II. A week later he was appraised by
mail that the money had not arrived.
Both men made diligent search fer
the missing letter. But 1t could not he
found. So the debtor gave his friend
a check and forgot about his SO. set
ting down its loss to the dishonesty II
some intermediary who had handled
the envelope.
Imagine his surprise when one day
eight months later he received his let
ter from the dead letter Office in Wash
ington. 1t was covered with post
marks and much battered, for ii had
Travelled many thousands of miles.
back to England, around the United
Kingdom and to America again, but
the money was safe inside.
Chuckling, he met his friend few
minutes later and showed him the
ten dollar bill.
"How's that for lucky" he queried.
"Great," replied his friend. Say. old
man, you couldn't lend me that for a
day or two could you? It's like pick
ing money up in the street for you and
could make use of 1t just now"
