Petty stealing, cheap graft-its not

The head of the firm was angry.
Send for that collector" he said
The collector came
Seems to be too much work for
you" the managing partner said
Probably you need help
The collector believed another man
would be n valuable addition to the
force. HIN thought so" the manager
said. and then, reading from a slip;

snapped, Now, do you desire to
work, help pay the expense of the de-
tective who trailed you and make
good, or will you quit now?'
Il believe I'd like to work 1t out, !"
the trembling collector replied
We'll. get a move on you, then,
was the parting admonition of the
manager And the collector got it on.
Cheap graft" the manager re-
sumed. often wonder how some men
can stoop TO such meanness Not long
ago l observed that a certain young
man had long been ordering furnish
ings, neckties. and such things by let.
ter and paying for them in stamps,
That seemed queer. I don't care for
business that's crooked. so | investi-
gated that customer Found he worked
in a bank; son of a wealthy father

stamps for q year.
I'VE allow our outside men to turn
in daily accounts of money spent for

for several to save making many ac-
counts, When | noticed one of these
men charging us more car fare than

Discovered he'd AIDED a figure ! to the
so or 90-cent account every day and
so got $3.50 or S2-cheap stealing for
a dollar. Cost him his job.
Nothing so detestable and so an
moving In business as this form of dis.
honesty. There's stealing going on
now in this store that | don't know
how to touch. The question in the
minds Of employees is, Should I tell
the firm. or is it any of my business?
When we can get employees to under,

If you see a clerk stealing from
your employer. isn't it your duty &c

The Mixer.

Many times the mixer goes to his
task after brushing horses or doing
other dirty work, with his hands soiled
and his clothing thickly covered with
dust. Both soiled hands and dusty
clothing are loaded with germs that
injure milk. Before commencing to
milk the mixer should cleanse his
hands and slip on clean suit and cap,
which are used for no other purpose,
and which may be easily washed He
should always milk with dry hands
and never allow his hands to come In
contact with the milk.-Missouri Dali

Poisoned by Eggs.

That many people are poisoned by
eggs, and not by spoiled eggs only,
but often by those that are freshly
laid and apparently good, is asserted
by French chemist. Numerous cases
Of poisoning due to eclairs, or cream
cakes, have occurred recently in Paris,
and it was in the course of an inves-
tigation of these that the conclusion
was reached that the toxic action was
always the fault of the eggs in the
custard, never of mineral poisons in
troduced accidentally or Of the other
ingredients of the cream. French
eggs, it is said, become infected before
they are laid.
