One Manager Gets Results by
Easy Methods.
STUDENT OF HUMAN NATURE
Rules Office Force Kindly But Firmly,
and in Consequence Secures
High Standard of Work
From His Employees.

Once upon time a manager mad
some pet ideas and ideals about office
government-andh he liked to expert
ment on human nature.
AS a member of the school board ne
had made the remark that the teacher
who will discipline first and teach al
forwards is failure. That, by the
law of suggestion, as soon as the need
of discipline is made evident to those
among whom it is enforced 1t becomes
more and more a necessity.
1.-The same is true of an Office" he
told his assistant, and submitted these
pointers:
The average mortal is sooner led
than driven.
Sarcasms and hot-headed criticisms
will endear you to no one, for 1t Is
human nature to strike back.
The end of all tyranny is rebellion
of some kind.
With these strong ethical and prac-
teal convictions he set about to learn
how not to boss" his brand new office
force of divers femininity.
First of all he posted list of plain
and comprehensive rules in black and
white under the time clock. And If the
following three were typical none
could have savored of despottsm or
crankiness:
Outside of office hours free use OF
the telephone extended to all as long
as this privilege is not abused.
for 10 .6i stormy
weather, unless the time exceed one
hour or the habit becomes chronic and
general.
The nine girls who composed his
Office force winked delightedly at each
other. They wondered If the sweet
tempered chief could get the sudden
tantrums like the rest Of them.
But early in the day he proved to
them that he was an exception.
Something went awry-an impor-
tant letter was addressed to the wrong
customer, and the girl who was to
blame was one of your well trained
ones who had done herself proud I'M
der his predecessor.
There was neither general tenn
pest nor killjoy wrathfness, nor even
q shade of displeasure-only a two
minute conclave with the careless one
after quitting time. Later on both
went home with a smile.
The trick of holding your temper Is
one method of learning how not to
boss"
The manager always worked hard
and made no noise or jumped about
fussily.
In the course of time his help all did
likewise. They patterned after him
because they couldn't help it-because
they respected him for his composure
and self-control.
Although the whole force worked
conscientiously every day and he criti-
cized no one openly nor added more
stringent rules, he did not forget that
no one can work hard for any length
of time without added inducements.
The third week he announced that
the person who had worked most eff
GENTLY for four weeks in succession
would be raised SO cents and that the
energetic newcomer would have as
good a chance as the older help. One
person would be raised every month,
and the selection would depend en-
tirely on merit and obvious progress.
This arrangement became source
of much enthusiasm and competition
and was another good method in learn
ing how not to boss"

SUPPLIES OWN MOTIVE POWER
Ingenious Form Of Pillow That Invent
iveness Of Swiss Has Given
to the World.

Flowing a field with the usual horse
drawn implement is an operation re-
quiring entirely too much time, pa
thence and expenditure Of energy for
the modern agriculturist, and espe-
cially for the western farmer, who
has hundreds of acres to turn In a
season. Steam and motor-drfven
plows with one or a dozen shares
have been an immense improvement
in many localities and have made ex-
tensive farming possible, but the mo-
tor power required to drive a pillow
through anything but the ightest
kind of soil involves the use OF cum
bersome machinery.
The Swiss have invented an en-
tirely new type Of pillow, which has
certain marked advantages over any
thing at present in use. On the rear
of a light motor-driven truck is
drum, carrying four parallel rows of
hoes. When the drum is revolved by
the motor in the truck the hoes spade
up the ground and at the same time
propel the machine. The ordinary
p1ow in it's work is harder to pull IN

His Little Mother Appeared.

There are sections on Ninth avenue

times walk in pairs and prefer the

Memory Game,

Take six coins-a silver dollar, a So
cent piece, 25-cent piece, dime, a
nickel and cent. Have the room
darkened or blindfold the players; let
the coins be passed quickly from one
to others, not in regular order, but say
the nickel, the dollar, the ten-cent
piece, the quarter, the cent, the half
dollar. Each player holds each coin
two seconds before passing. When
all have had the coins, the light is
turned up, paper and pencil are sup
piled and the players write down the
order in which the Coins were passed.
The one getting the correct order. or
nearest to it, receives the prize.
Of course the order is decided upon
beforehand by the hosts.

speak on household sanitation and
the more fundamental principals of

farmers and their wives have attend

schools and their influence is being
widely felt. Surely the day of the

Camels In South Australia.

Camcls are used by pastoralists and
others in central Australia for carting
wool and stores. These are worked by
English as well as Afghan drivers.
They are used for saddle at eighteen
months of age: ut two years says the
British Australasian. they can carry
from one hnndrcdweight to two hun
drcdweight: at three years. four hum
drcdweight Bulls at four years can
take six hundrcdweight of loading. The
camelS are bred in South Australia.
Those locally reared are better weight
carriers than those imported. They
are lower set, better bOned and well
footed. They thrive on the grasses and
bushes of the country. on which they
can be worked for many years.
