EMPLOYEES COMMANDMENTS.
Egotistical But Sound Advice From a
Business Man.

The Denton Record and Chronicle
is authority for the statement that
Kansas City jewelry house has issued
some commandments" which do not
appear in the Decalogue in the way Of
suggestions to its employees which, it
says, will fit into the needs of lot
of other firms help" and that some
of them will "fit the bosses as WE'LL"
Here are the commandments"
1. Don't lie. 1t wastes my time
and yours. I'm sure to catch you in
the end, and that is the wrong end.
2. Watch your work, not the clock.
A long days work makes a long day
short and a short days work makes
my face long.
3. Give me more than I expect and
III pay you more than you expect. I
can afford to increase your pay If you
increase my profits.
4. You owe so much to yourself
that you can't afford to owe anybody
else. Keep out Of debt or keep out
of my shops.
u DAohOAfbAy - htNNl al dIClutuls
Good men, like good women, can't
see temptation when they meet It.
6. Mind your own business and in
time you'll have a business of your
own to mind.
z. Don't do anything here which
hurts your self-respect. The employee
who is willing to steal for me is cap
able Of stealing from me.
8. It's none of my business what
you do at night. But If dissipation
affects what you do the next day, and
you do half as much as I demand,
you'll last half as long as you hoped.
8. Don't tell me what I'd like to
hear, but what / ought to hear. I
don't want valet to my vanity, but
need one for my dollars.
10. Don't kick II I kick-if you're
worth while correcting, you're worth
while keeping. / don't waste time

THE IDEAL HOME.

"The Ideal Home"-delightfu tboS,,
is what much desire:
Some spot with simple pleasures ir,r.,,
To which | NAV retire. ausa
Where | may follow every bent.
Where hone will say me nay,
Where all my family consent
To let me have my way.
A dwelling where the rooms are law,
But where the rent is small,
Where tradesmen never overcbarpn
Or boring neighbors call.
A house that's eosey in the frost
But shady in July;
A home where keys are never lost
And babies never cry.
A place where servants always suit
And serve us with delight.
A garden full of flowers and fruit
Where midges never bite:
Where nights are calm and midnight All,
Refrain from repartee.
In short. where nothing worries. thofs

ooh, I know it is May" The In
quirer disappeared inside and she
heard him at the telephone in a room
separated from her by window. He
called up a tug Office down town.
Send the fastest boat out for May
Henderson. She is cut off from shore
by a change of wind and is adrift in
the lake off this boathouhe on cake
Of ice" There was an instant of ST.
lence. Then there was a ringing Of
bell and the opening of door.
"They will send a tug at once!"
said the energetic man, reappearing.
Past them crowded Thomas Fra
ger with his skates in his hand.
"Be careful, lieutenant" said
club member, coming from the rooms
hatless. THE lake Is treacherous,
and there is no telling how wide the
fissure is by this time"
Lieutenant Frazer laughed as he
buckled the runners on his shoes. 1T
is to see that very thing, If we wait
ed any longer it would be too late. It
may be too late now. But we will
see." With that he was away.
Lieutenant Frazer glided away
swiftly from them toward the speck
in the distance, and his form grew
smaller as he STATED toward the OPEN
ing, which appeared to the watchers
as mere string across the edge. Be-
fore It was the form of girl silhout-
ted by the horizon. Toward the out
er crib there was a cloud Of black
smoke rising, and the old gentleman,
standing in the door at the side of
Mrs. Brownson and Grace, said:
There is the tug"
Lieutenant Frazer swept along the
edge of the assure until he found a
place narrower than the others. Now
for putting into practical use the
trick he had learned when a boy!
Back he went, far enough to get i'm
petus, and then hurled himself for
ward like a bullet. Into the air he
vaulted and spanned the ribbon of
water and turned toward the girl,
Good afternoon, May" said he,
politely and without a smile,
"Oh, Lieutenant, l have been
watching you and I saw you jump.
You have come out here at the risk
of your life"
Nov, look here. There will be
plenty of time to talk about that af-
ter awhile. Now we want to see how
far this crack goes. / guess 1t is Wild
er against the wind, so we will go to-
ward town. You must come quickly"
Together they set off. Near the
edge of the cake they skated till the
crack narrowed. Then, encouraged
and aided by him, May sprang across
to safety and they made their way
back to the clubhouse amid the cheers
Of those who had gathered there.
The tug gave a long whistle and
turned back to the crib.
At the home of the Hendersons
there followed a confession on the
part of May to her mother, And that
night May made a second confession,
but it was to Lieutenant Frazer. The
spring thaw had come, and Mays
hard heart had melted even as the
hard heart of the winter was melting
