sitions. The Importance of this is
shown by the attitude of some OF the
privately conducted employment agen-
cies throughout the country One of
the hotel magazines recently cited an
instance where a steward who applied
for a position through an employment
agency was told that he would be
recommended by the agency for the
position upon his agreeing to change
the help in his department every four
or five months. This of course would
give the agency a chance to furnish
the new help and thus keep its bust
ness on a profitable basis.
Shorter Bills of Fare.
The new hotel school will probably
lead to a general shortening of the
bills-of-fare in the hotels and res
ed that too many dishes spoil the
meal, just as too many cooks spoil
the broth, and that there is ne occas-
ion for such long list of things to
eat as the average hotel offers. 1t is
pointed out that few meats we'll Sc
lected and well served, are much bet
ter than long list poorly chosen and
improperly served. There also is
movement to abolish the American
plan in favor of the European. One
of the Questions being argued among
the hotel people is how much profit
they ought to receive on the gross
cost of the foodstuffS in order to
make a proper net revenu. That the
dining room of a hotel, even when IL
is among the finest IN Cne world AMI
charges the highest prices, is not al
ways a paying Dron0Si+inn is shown
by report concerning Americas
best known hotel. This report is to
the effect that while the gross rev.
enues of the restaurants and dining
rooms of the hotel in question amount
to 100000 a year. there is an an
nuaF loss in this department aggre-
eating more than 100000. But as
the total income of the hostelry is
81, oOO, 900 year. the loss in this part
of the business is amply made up by
the profits in other departments. 1t
is said that this loss is largely Incl
dent to the great number of employees
who are kept on full pay during the
dull months of the year. Only the
very best hotel help obtainable IS en-
ployed and to hold them it is neces-
sary to give them full pay winter and
summer
Provisions Problem

tells in New York city, maintained
for the benefit of poor men, by the
very closest buying is able to serve
excellent meals for these prices, and
still prevent the business from degen-
Grating into a charity. These hotels
were founded for the sole purpose of
affordfng the poor men OF New York
a decent place to stay and eat at as
low a price as possible. There is no
desire to make a profit out of the
business
The variety of things which the
stewards of a modern hotel must buy

twisting about on the end of her chain,
growing angrily and impatiently. The
hunter jumped about like a mailman,
tore out his hair, and tried to cling to
the Gypsy. The latter frowning, pro-
nounced his final decision.
Listen, this is the only concession
I'll make. I'll let you have 800 yards
start as far as yonder turn. After
that run, run fast. But that's enough
talk. I'll wait no longer"
The time for hesitation had passed:
the wretched man cast one last terri
fled look on the foaming beast, and
darted off like a mailman AS soon
as he had reached the turning in the
road, Mana was unfastened. She start
ed off in pursuit like a. shot from 4
gun, and her prodigious bounds raised
clouds Of dust.
The fugitive perceived her drawing
near, and felt that he was lost. Then.
while running, he began TO howl ike a
hunted animal His aspect was so fear
ful, his voice so horrible, that a little
boy who was tending some sheep by the
roadside tried to run away, terror
stricken. He threw himself on ote
side, and fell into a deep brook that
bordered the road.
, At the same instant, the dog came
up, being now only a few yards from
ler enemy. Sne saw the aCctOSIl,
changed her voice and rolled on the
ground as if rifleshOt had struck her.
She got up bowling as if stopped by an
invisible and insurmountable barrier
She must pardon the murderer of her
little ones. She could not advance;
she could not abandon a helpless child.
No power on earth would nave made
her pass by; no barrier could have
more surely stopped her.
second later she was ir the water
beside the chilli, whom she quickly
dragged onto the bank. She licked his
forehead to clear away the clipsing
hair, and pulled at his clothes and
arms.
When the child was safely on mis- feet
again, she gave one vague look IN the
direction of the fugitive; ano then, full
of remorse for having abandoned her
post, hurried back to the caravan to
take up once more her heavy burieu OF
slavery and suffering

y EANA was a big dog Of uncer-
me tain breed. She had been the
1S1 property of a couple of gyp--
sizes since their marriage, and mao
seen the birth of four children OF
whom the eldest was boy or seven.
She was one of the family. Inc syp-
sizes really considered her as a sort OF
..roor relation" who was under the OBJ
LEGATION of making herself as uselul
as possible.
Besides being a hard worker. she
was a terrible guardian, capable OF
battling VIGOROUSLY with several men
hut her favorite duty was to watch
over take care of, and protect the
children.
When, once year her little puppies

like a human being For weeks a1ter-
wards she worked, played, and surfer
ed as before. but her eyes were filled
with a sadness that was unspeakable
and inconsolable.
One spring time, the gypsies suffer
ed very much from the heavy rains.
They found themselves one day In q
state of restitution; they were on the
road. far away from any house, with
broken axle. The wife had vainly
tried to sell her reed baskets, the emil
dren had begged uDsuccessfully, there
was nothing to be stolen from tne
fields and Mana's puppies were still
roo Young to sell. They could go with
out eating for a certain time, but
money must be found to pay for the
services of the wheelwright.
Providence appeared On the road IN
the shape of huntsman- He was TAN
and thin. and his brown face termin-
ated in a long, copper colored beard !.
His long legs were incosed in bright
yellow CATERS
His face. a mixture of good humor
and brutality, had something sinister
in its expression.
Mana, who was playing with her
puppies, was attached to a tree by a
stout chain. She growled instinctively
al the stranger who walked nofs1ly
past, whistling a cheerful tune
Startled by the dogs growing, the
man suddenly stopped, and began to
scrutinize the redoubtable animal and
her little ones. All at once he burst
out laughing
'Hullo, my man." he said to the
gypsy. "how much do you want for
the puppies? Listen to me. I'm going
to try a curious experiment that 1
saw once at fair abroad. Some pup
pies were shot under their mother's
eyes Wait a minutei Let me speak!
You've got everything necessary. We

coop, and place 1t just far enough
away to prevent the mother from
reaching them even in her widest eff
forts. And, look here, I'll give you all
the money I've got about me-s15. "
The gypsies-the man. woman and
children-cried out against such bar
barous sport. At that moment, they
felt the depth of their love for Mana,
who was grooming uneasily, as II the
Mortified faces of her masters had
warned her of impending danger.
The hunter was implacable. He be-
came more and more obstinate as the
gypsies' despair increased They were

longer rest being beneficial, 1T seemed
only to make him more irritable.
And this morning it was raining,
which kept him from his accustomed
morning walk and added to his irrita-
bility
Of the four Sunday papers which ne

livered that morning. The Irregular
ity In the delivery of papers had been
FREQUENT of late, and now he started
into the nursery to complain to Helen
about it. (CWhatever went wrong, ne
somehow always managed TO make her
feel responsibility AS he opened the
door he found the room stirling NOT
and close, with the radiator suffering
loudly in the corner.
"By George, What are you trying 10

Helen was kneeling before the lower
drawer of the chiffonier, laying out
some fresh clothes for the baby.

room-why, it's sickening!"
Warren, don't stand there talking

lie which has been forced to
endure the incompetence OF
unframed hotel help, soon will have
it's day made pleasant by the atten-
ton of experts in their respective
lines of hotel work Every other vo-
cation has learned long since that the
technically trained workman is able
to render better service than the one
who has picked up" his trade Now
the hotel men of the country have de-
cided that the technical training of
hotel help will make them better able
to meet the wants of the hotel patron.
To this end they will establish at
Indianapolis a modern hotel univer-
sity, where every sort of hotel help
needed, from the cellar to the attic,
may be trained under expert direction
and initiated into all the niceties of
the profession. This training will ex-
tend all the way from the art of prop
erly greeting a guest at the register
desk, to the science of extracting a
tip without revealing the purpose to
the patron The idea of a hotel train
ing school has long been a favOrite
hobby with some of the leading lights
of the International Stewards associ-
alton. but it was only this fall that
the association agreed to support the
institution and to lend it's best endeav
ors toward the success of the move
ment.

well vouched for. 1t is probable that
many hotels will give scholarships TO
the school. in consideration that their
holders serve a term in the hotel
giving the scholarship There will be
room enough in the school 70 accom-
modate several hundred students, and
the freshmen Will probably be the
help and the seniors the critical
guests.
Many Problems
There are many problems in hotel
management which can be solved on
ly by trained men. 1t is probable that
the establishment of this university
will be followed by the creation of
standards in hotel management which
Will elevate the calling of the hotel
keeper to the dignity of a profession.
The sponsors of the university are
behind a movement for the abolition
or the short weight and measure graft,
and are urging strenuous legislation
against those who profit by 1t. The
hotel manag have suffered from
the constantly advancing price of
foodstuffs as much as any other class
of people. and with these advances
has come growing tendency to make
added profit by false scales and
measures. The Stewards Association
is also advocating pure food. and from
the very inception of the movement
have lent aid to the pure food crusad-
ers. One of the largest breakfast
