NO WESTERN MAN FOR HER
New York stenosrapher Objects to
Employer Whose Business Day
Begins Before Nine.

A New York ONCE had advertised
for stenographers. and when the ap.
plicants came they were interviewed
by the assistant manager, who was
woman. An agreement almost had
been closed with one bright girl when
the assistant mentioned incidentally
that the proprietor was a western
man. Instantly the fair face OF the
applicant clouded. TN that case"
she said firmly. 'T do not wish the
position. am working for a western
man now, and that is why wish to
make a change. Why. do you know"
her voice dropped to low, tragic
tone. as Of one who voices hidden
crime-"that man actually gets down
to the Office at six o'clock in the
morning. and he expects US to be there
at eight. Worse than that, even when
we are on hand promptly at eight he
acts as II 1t was about the middle Of
the day. OF course, 1t is easy for him,
for It seems he gets up about four
o'clock every morning, works a bit at
home, reaches the Office at six and
piles up work for us until eight, so It
really does seem late to him when we
arrive. No more western men for me,
thank you. Any little old New York
man will do for me, for New York
men don't try to begin ONCE hours be-
fore nine or ten o'clock"

Russia Lano Of Tragedies.

Russia is the land of tragedies
The harvest is gathered daily and the
victims belong to all classes. The
people have become accustomed t.
scenes and descriptions OF horror" &C

enz. "and It requires a case like that
Of the artist Constantin Kryschitzki to
attract attention. He placed on view
a painting which he had recently com.
pleted, and was forthwith accused OF
having copied It from the work Of an
other painter. He failed to convince
his accusers of his honesty and the
genuineness of his picture, and in des-
peration killed himself On the same
night and before the news of the
tragedy had reached them the artists
of st. Petersburg held a meeting at
which It was reported that Kryschitzh
had been wrongfully accused. Too
late!"

Machine to FIJI Knot Holes.

Boxes containing knot holes are not
salable. and In some localities the
lumber used for the box shocks is full
OF such blemishes, with the result that
20 per cent. of the total board footage
has to be discarded. A machine in
vented by Californian, saws out the
knot or the section containing the
knot hole, producing holes Of uniform
size. The same machine also saws
the plugs for the holes. the work be-
ing done by two small band saws.
The plugs are cut from waste blocks
of thickness that corresponds with
that Of the boards to be plugged. The
plugs. being cut slightly larger than
the holes made for them, fit snugly,
and are held firmly in place by small
crimper nails, which leave both the
inner and outer surfaces perfectly
flush and smooth.-Popular Magazine.

For minute we were utterly non

Corncob Pipes.
The corncob pipe industry may not
rank among the great commercial ac-
tivities Of the country, yet that busi.
ness holds an important place in Mis-
souri,, which state reports that in 1910
1t turned out 26.455,5S4 such pipes.
This indicates that there must be a
good market for the product. And
since men will smoke, no matter how
much the "antis" work to convert
them from the practice, doubtless q
corncob pipe is an excellent medium
to employ In burning up tobacco. It
is not as swell as the costly meer-
schaum, the elaborate brarwood or
many other fancy" pipes, but 1t gets
there Just the same" and 1t is typi-
cally American. II could not have
originated In any country where the
question of disposlng of corncobs did
not arise. Corn is the great Ameri.
can crop and corncob pipes have come
to be leading by-product.

THINGS TO o,ylT.

Talking big things end doing small
ones.
Scolding and flying into a passion
over trifles.
Boasting of what you can do instead
of doing it.
Thinking that life is grind and not
worth living.
Talking continually about yourself
and your affairs.

Safe Treatment for Headache.

The rational treatment for headache
