For many years past have been in the habit of keeping diary and have found 1t of the greatest use in my business.
 By quick reference to this record I can tell where l was and what I was doing on any particular day during the last ten years. Time and again my diary has saved me money.
 Not long ago l was about to bring suit against man who owed me $500, but who refused payment because he did not be- lieve in the existence of contract. He was honest in if, but mistaken, as the contract had been negotiated by his business man.

CARRIER BOYS DISTURBED.
Are Induced to Start q Strike, But
Change Their Minds-Usual crovxd IS

The T.-R. carrier boys were again
induced to start a disturbance when.
for time Saturday evening, they re-
FUSED to carry their papers but finally
decided that it would be fairer II they
should do their work until they had
seen the management.
The trouble started much as did the
one Of several years before. The most
OF the boys gathered at the building
and played around In the alley as us
ual, not knowing themselves that there
twaa anything to strike abou. At about
o'clock those in authority to deaf
with the boys about wages or grew
ances left the building with no inti-,
nation OF pending trouble. At about
1870 o'clock q crowd Of people began
to gather, drawn by curiosity with the
usual representation Of a few saloon
loafers bent on making trouble At
about; this time a few ring leaders
among the boys proposed strike to
the others and some of them joined in
1t, while others went inside the build
ing refusing to take part. A demand
was made upon the clerks in the bus
mess office where the boys were told
to see the management Monday. At first
they threw down their sacks, but later
decided to carry that night and see the
management before they quit work.
Deputy Marshal Clark. drawn by the
presence of the crowd, explained to the
boys that they were not acting on the
square to quit without first talking
with the managers about their
troubles. but he was annoyed by half a
dozen men who persisted in urging the
boys to make trouble. It seems that
while neither the T.-R. force nor most
Of the boys knew anything about It
until time for the papers to be carried.
1t was known on Main street that there
was to be q strike.
On Sunday afternoon the boys and
their parents or guardians were as
sembled at the T.-R. office upon invt-
tation from the management, where
the matter was adjusted satisfactorily
to all concerned The parents made it
plain that they disapproved thoroughly
Of the whole performance and three of
the parents were appointed as COM
mittee to draw up form Of an agree
ment which will prohibit the boys quit
ting unceremoniously in the future
without giving the management and

suited.
