Mrs Stewart, learning of the crime. accused Hhton
and the lawyer in terror confessed in writing. This
Instrument with other important papers, was con

troublous adventures of the firm, which passed into
the hands of Judge Henry Hilton, personal frlend
and advisor of the original owner, Caldwell drifted
obscurey on the metropolitan tide until he made
known his presence in letter to Judge Hilton ThS
was most skifuy framed, serving as tortuously
roundabout approach to the attention of the lawyer.
"Dear Sir:-Permit me to ask you if you have given
any person authority to approach me on several occa
sons during past year with regard to certain work
and personal ledger accounts which l wrote up for
YOU by Mr. De Brot's direction during my last five
years with A. T. S. & Co.
Il may just add that you personally. have un-
reservedly all information that possess on the sub
jec but that else alive can extract 1t from me-
sit is perhaps proper that should say seek neither
fee favor NOR reward in this matter.
''RoBERT CALDWELL"
Hilton Is Aroused.
This was suggestive fiction of the best type Judge
Hilton sent for the author. 1t appeared, from his
story that during the last five years at the Stewart
store he had kept secret account of Judge Hltons
financial transactions with A. T. Stewart This he
did he said under orders from De Brot one OF his
chiefs in the bookkeeping department but the entries
were made according to system that would be unin-
telligible to any but himself Recently he had been
approached repeatedly by mysterious MIR. Smith TO
sell the key to the system.
His conclusion was that if Judge Hilton was not
the man who held the book and who was trying to
get the key through gobetweens then the Possessor OF
IL must be some bitter enemy of Judge Hilton, who
hoped to harm him through decipher1ng the book lie
professed great surprise when Hilton said he had
heard of the book ana ne repeated MS lear Vi
a conspiracy.
The transaction is buried in the drifts of the years
and the documentary evidence of it survives only IN
some fugitive memoranda by Judge Hilton. But 1t Is
n remarkable and indisputabe fact that the eminent
LAWYER consented to Caldwell not once, but many
times on this business, somewhat put out over IL
and apparently was anxious to lay hands on SInltn.
Remarkable it is in way but not so much so when
the author of this fantasy is remembered
= Evidently this exploit which turned in no known
way TO Caldwells advantage, sharpened his appetite
for further adventures of the kind Judge Hilton was
a very important at that tme He had sue
ceeded in making him partly believe, had taken up
some hours of his time, had won several hearings

source. They worried him greatly and were sum-

"For Gods sake do not make any settlement Oh the
Stewart case until you hear from me again know

introduction of one of the letters. -

POLITICAL coMMorloN IN MEXICO

The little news dispatches from
Mexico that go floating through
the American press now and then,
should be watched with more than
ordinary attention. Between the
lines may be read the possibilities
of a revolution against the despotic
rule Diaz maintains in behalf
of American investors of high
degree. In September 1910, the
time for the Presidential election
comes around.
Diaz has carried the elections,
term after term, by abrogating the
Constitution, and he will probably
try it again-if not for himself,
for chosen successor. Mexico's
Constitution is in many respects
more democratic than our own. 1t
aims at popular government, and
guarantees freedom of speech, of
the press and of elections. But
all the safeguards of popular SOW
ereignty have been cynically
thrown down by Diaz. There is
no freedom of speech or of the
press, the country is ruled by a
standing army of "rurales" inevi-
dence in every rural community,
and the elections are farce.
There is but one political party,
not because political sentiment is
harmonious but because an oppo-
sitiOn party is not tolerated. 1t is
death or worse than death to be
actively identified with political
opposition to the dynasty. No
people will long tolerate such
usurpation, and as the Presidential
election draws near, during the
next twelve months Mexico may
become news center of the first
magnitude. Meanwhile let it be
observed in reading news dis
patches from that unhappy coun-
try. that it is one of the easiest
tricks Of tyranny, to discredit pa
triotic upheavals by describing
revolutionary movements as bandit
raids.-The Public.

HARMONY 4 BUSINESS PRODUCER

Fortunately the old-time en-
ployer, who used to go through his
place of business every day with
whip, so to speak, stirring every
body up, driving everybody, scold-
ing and swearing, is rapidly dis
appearing. Men are finding that
there is something better than the
slave-driving methods They are
finding that harmony is a great
business producer, that kindness,
appealing to the best instead of
the worst in employees, produces
the highest results.
Up-to-date business men find
that the more comfortable and the
happier they can make their en-
ployees, the more work they will
accomplish, and the better its
quality. Everybody does his best
when appreciated.
MIR. Grumpy Employer, how can
you expect your employees to
apply the Golden Rule to you,
when you do not use it yourself?
When you get your employees all
stirred up and out of sorts by con-
slant scolding, fault-fnding and
nagging, by your failure to stand
up to your contracts with them,
how can you expect them in return
to have your interests at heart, to
live up to your expectations, to do
good work? When you go all to
pieces over something that troub-
les you, you can not write a good
letter. Your mind is in no con-
dition to make an important con-
tract until you restore harmony.
Can you, then, expect your en-
ployees to believe in you-to give
you their best, when you show
them the worst side Of your ma
ure?-Success.
