Those Enviable Optimists.-"rhe
late Admiral Schley," said an officer
at the navy department, had no use
for the unreasoning optimist-the OPP
timist who won't contend against
evil, excusing his laziness on the
ground that all things work together
for good, and so forth.
Admiral Schley once tried to have
certain reforms instituted in the navy.
He found at headquarters good deal
of the optimistic or lazy spirit, how
ever, and so at a dinner one night he
rebuked a headquarters optimist with
a story.
You remind me, SIR he said, 'of
old Jimmy Traddles. Jimmy was
laborer. Noon sounded one day, and
he sat down and felt in his pockets for
lunch. But the pocket was empty.
Boys said he, I've lost my
lunch
Then he gave a CHEEKY laugh.
Its a good thing I've lost it, too
he said.
why so, mate?' a man asked.
Because said old Jimmy, I left
my teeth at home st. Louis GLOBE

ROADS MUST TELL ALL SERVANTS ACT AS AGENTS
Employment Bureaus Say Those
Who Go Abroad Hurt Business.
BRING OVER THEIR FRIENDS
One Manager Declares Wages
May Go Higher, and That De-
mand Is Greater than Supply.

The agencies that make n business ot
finding employment for servants and IDEAL
cooks. maids. Wallets. buffers and so form
have tale OF woe TO tell 1t all arises
from the growing tendency of servants TO
visit Europe in the good old summer time
and tell the old folks at home how pros
porous they are and how much of the
long green they are sailing away
The result is that when they return they
are apt to bring with them relative or
friend, or several or both. These they are
generally able place in establishments
where mediocre service satisfies. until
later. when they have beoN trained some
what. they take positions at more desirable
places.
No going TO employment agencies for the
European tourist servant and his or her
friends: no paying OF fees 10 the employ
ment bureau or agency. Naturally the en-
ploymcnt agencies are inclined To view this
departure of the last two or three years

that n really good servant is as well paid
and gets such heavy tips that she is able
TO spend her vaca tons abroad instead of

The demand for servants of all kinds ~

Yesterday. than at the corresponding time
last year,
you Sec" explained the head Of one
employment agency. the seasons are get
ting later and later. Persons who spend the
summer out Of town hardly ever return
before October l. But those who return
month earlier find it nard TO get trained
servants until later. That may seem rather
an odd statement. but most of tine persons
who 90 out Of town take their servants
with them When they return the latter
are often dissatisfied or simply do not want
10 work at the same place another year.
So for this reason there are quite num-
her f them out of work of their own
yolition Then others spend the summers
away themselves. and do not come back
until the season starts
The wages of servants, according to the
agents. might be little higher than they
were last year, but there was not a chance
in the world OF their being any lower. In
fact they have shown a steady upward
tendency since the civil War, according TO
one long established agency. The manager
Of one agency said:
So FAR we have been able To supply
only between - and 10 per cent of the
orders We have received. The demand
has been far greater than the supply al
most always, except the year OF the panic
and the one following II, when so many
persons found it impossible 10 get work Of
any kind that they turned 10 cooking and
waiting as a last resort. But those look
ing for servants are likely 10 find more
trouble IN getting them this year tnan

Several agents said that applicants for
positions generally demanded Thursday
afternoon off one week and Sunday after
noon off the following week, besides full
day off each week.
