BRIGHT GIRLS FOOLED THE BOSS
AND SAVED THEMSELVES
FROM DISMISSAL.
BROUGHT INGENUITY TO BEAR
Action That Is Not to Be Commended,
But In This Case Dire Necessity
Put Itself Above All
Moral Law.

The stenographer and the all around
assistant in Mr.. Mills office were keen
on mental atmOsphere-they could tell
pretty accurately by the vertical
creas above the managers nose
whether the day was to end in a
dream Of tranquility or a shower OF
word missiles. The boss was one Of
that changeable sort who for a day or
SO move about among their help with
genial c~ondescension. and then all at
once shut up like a clam or o
anathema at this, that. and the other
thing on the slightest p~rovocation.
This morning Mr.. Mills looked like
a suppressed tornado, and his two as
sistant saw trouble in the office.
They knew the reasn we'll this time.
The day before Mr.. Mills had left
the office in their charge, expecting to
make a trip by boat to a branch office.
But having missed the boat he re-
turned to the Office about three O'Clock
and found 1t empty as a church on
Saturday morning. The girls had van
lshed; he waited till Ave o'clock. but
the truants failed to appear. Then he
went home in a purple rage that fore
Swallowed immense revolutions in the
Office next day.
The next day had arrived. and about
four o'clock In the afternoon, when
work began to lag a little, he ap-
preached his girls in the rear OF the
Office with a chilly. whitening stare
which plainly said, You're in for It."

Ming" he began with p%ortentious calm.
II need more reliable help-girls I can
depend on when I leave the city once

The girls, having known all day
what was coming, neatly mapped out
their campaign during the lunch hour.

Mr.. Mills was touched. He was

thoughtfully down his nose again. he
met the pleading eyes Of his general
assistant. who had Just come up.

If l had known that Miss Bellies would

took the same from her handbag and
aid them before the chief.
In the face of such feminine plead
ing and convincing evidence. the boss.
crouch though he ordinarily was, could
only nod his willingness to overlook
the matter for once.
The girls had been to the matinee
the day before. During the lunch hour
they went out 10 get some cards from
a dental Office. and a telegram blank
from the neighbor1ng hotel. Ingenuity
had saved the Job, though it was In
genulty OF the dangerous kind.

Profit In Intensive FarmInu.

II Is the intensive farming that pays
best. There is SO much uncertaintv
in every line Of ordinary farming that
the progressive man Is led to diversity
and strike out on new lines.
There is a good profit in bees at
times. and they came in vel, with
chickens, squads. mushrooms and the
like on a diversified farm. Experience
is needed in all these lines to make
them pay. but II they are taken I'd one
after the other and handled practically
the little farm will soon become a
business enterprise yielding q good
monthly income.
The effect on the family is i'm.
portant. II farm boys and girls had
better chances and were not made to
work so hard, 80 many would not
leave the farm for the city.

WARN BY ARTIFICIAL VOICE
Lighthouses Along French Coast Have
Wonderful Resemblance &c
Human Beings.

Ships that pass the danger spots OF
the French coast will now be guided
Alright by the lighthouse bearing a
wonderful resemblance to human be-
ings. The new lighthouse, which is
the invention Of DR.. Marague, a Paris
ian a specialist, is an exact imita-
ton Of the human throat and mouth,
with an air pump for lungs. Teeth,
lips, jaw bones and all are initiated ex-
actly. while q monster mouth and a
compressed air device will enable 1t to
shout in tones OF thunder to ships on
the horizon. Dr.. Marques small
models, hardly appreciably larger than
the normal human mouth. can be
made to utter a faint Whisper. or give
vent to an ear-splittng cry, not pos
sible for man to make. With a mouth
six feet from r to corner it is
estimated that the artificial voice
could be understood from three to six
miles away. according to weather con-
ditions.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH SECRET
Lies in Way to Prevent ~CoaguIatIon OF
~Protoplasm Which Forms tho
Basis Of Our Bodies.

Charge Is the secret of youth. Har.
vey w. Wiley asserts that the body
itself changes oftener than the suits
that clothes it. and hat he who
mourns over the remains Of a friend
drops tears on that which knew him
not a few short weeks before. Life
itself is represented In the rapid
changes Of the body. When those
changes have become less rapid thar
formerly 1t IS a sure sign hat old
age has set In. When changes cease
altogether death comes.
A mar that finds a way to prevent
the coagulation of the p%rotoplasm
which forms the basis Of our bodies
will have discovered the secret Of per.
petual youth. For it is this coagula-
ton that works against the change.
The liquids that were in the body,
forming 70 per cent Of the body, will
not circulate in this months veins.
The flesh of the summer will not see
the fall Of October leaves, and scarce
a bone Of this years body will leave
a trace for next year to witness. y
The bones change less rapidly than
the flesh. yet they are being constant
ly replaced by new material. The body
constantly throws off lime which can
come from no place but the bones and
phosphorus which comes mostly from
them. 1t Is as surprising to see how
rapidly this material IS thrown of
as 1t is to note how quickly a broken
bone will be replaced.
The teeth are less subject to change
than n other part of the body. A
foreign substance is the only matter,
that the system will allow to remain
unchanged within it. A particle lodg-,
ed beneath the skin as powder or.
a tattoo mark is not displaced with the
growth of new flesh or skin. The
new particles form gradually about
the foreign matter, replacing the old
ones, and the marks remain. In the
young the change Is rapid and every,
cell Is full of life and constantly re-
curing youth. AS age comes on there
Is an occasional congested cell and a
t~hickening Of the appearance
of the skin. Then in old age there Is
an almost complete congestion and
finally life ceases.

THAT WORKED

First, when accused by their manager,
both bowed their heads on their hands
in that humble and subservient way
which they knew must be gratifying
to a man like Mr.. Mills, and when that
prim obelisk Of authority passed on
ward to his own desk. they moped re-
sentfully and made long faces-as
though the boss was the most unjust
man in the world and had no sympa-
thy for women whatever.
Promptly at the quitting signal the
stenographer marched up to her chief;
she pouted prettily and f1ickered her
eyelashes as If to say 1t was a mean
shame not even to have a chance to
explain the circumstances.
"Mr. Mills" she said. perking up
quite boldly, 1T you knew the predica-
ment I was In when I left your office
Saturday, you would surely excuse
me. About two o'clock I received a
telegram right here IN the office. ask
