THE CHAP WHO MADE HAY WHEN
 THE SUN DIDN'T SHINE.


 = HERE was once certain rising young man who laid out for him
 self a system-not of beating the
 ponies, but of making good with
 bis Arm and causing them to see thst be was some pumpkins. And he followed his dope sheet right before the very eyes of all tbe-other chaps in the office without their getting wise to the psriay he was playing even 2 little bit In fact, they set him down for an easy mark and couldn't see where be was going to get on with any rings on his fingers or bells on his toes.
 This R. Y. NJ. in question hadn't been employed in the oface more than month before he became known as the Work Horse. He not only put bis own daily tasks to the mat for the count. but also hung the skiddoo sign on 6 large portion of the work that should have been done by . few of the other chaps. When closing up time came each day he was the last to reach for his hat and coat. And if there was anything extra to be finished that day he was the fall guy who stayed behind to wrestle with 1t. All Ol Nnu1 Hc utuA scrLn lO tnluu m q little bit . In fact. 1t seemed that he just snooped around trying to fnd trou- bie tn the form of after -ofnce-hours' labor The other chaps soon began to speak of him as nend for work
 When they took advantage of hslf hoii- days on Saturdays to roll the worries a whne on the green table or put q few dark ones under their belts in the seciu- sion of ratbsfeller, old Work-Horye re- mained behind hooked to the traces. There wasn't any apparent reason why he should do SO, either, for the boss want looking. Therefore, the other chaps came to the conclusion that be had pebbles in his conk that rsttled around when he walked, and they gave him the merry hee-hee.
 Soon one of the other chaps got laid up for . spell, and somebody. of course, had to take on his work during his fll- ness Who drew the lemonr Why. old Work Horse, 10 De sure!

Child Suicides In Russia.

TT may not be generally known that

During the year 1907 some 400 children under Is years of age took their lives in Russia nearly all of these, as with Germany's 600. being pupils of the sec ondary schools.
