NO WESTERN MAN FOR HEB
New York Stenographer objects to
Employer Whose Business Day
Begins Before Nine.

A New York ONCE had advertised
for stenographers, and when the APP
plicants came they were interviewed
by the assistant manager. who was a
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 In that case.%
she said firmly, 81 do not wish the
position l am working for & western
man now, and that is why I 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 if 1t was about the middle o.
the day. OF course. it is easy for him,
for it seems he gets up about four
O'Clock every morning, works a bit al
home, reaches the office at six and
piles up work for until eight so 1t

Young man, / just overheard you
make a remark that you worked
when you got your price, and when
you didn't you let tire other cheap
skate work" That sounds all right
in crowd on the street when the
mercury is dancing around the hun
dred mark, but in the long run
through this vale of tears it won't
get you anywhere. You will have to
pass up too many lunch counters as
you wonder down the highway. You
will be forced to sit on the trucks at
the depot and watch the other fellow
start on his vacation journey to the
land of cooling breezes and sunshine.
You will have to look over your
best suit and have it pressed up and
repaired instead of springing new
suit in the gay Easter days. You
have set your price too high, for /
notice that you loaf around most of
the time. The fellow who works for
two dollars when he can't get four is
the fellow who is now eating regu-
larly, taking trips and wearing glad
rags. He was so willing to work for
two dollars day that the bosses be-
gan to notice him and were glad to
give him four, because he delivered
the goods. If you will take tumble
to yourself and get busy possibly you
will some day get your price--Os-

Snakc-kiIIinQ Birds.

In South Africa is to be found the
champion snake killer of the bird fam
lily. 1t is known as the secretary.

The name seems an odd one. but
the bird received it's name from a
crest or tuft of plumage rising from
the back of its head, which reminds
one of a secretary or bookkeeper with
a bunch of quilts stuck behind his
ear.
AS a rule 1t attacks smaller snakes
IN preference, to the very powerful
ones, and in doing SO uses every pre-
caution against contact with the pois-
onous fangs or strong cells. 1t does
not attack it's prey suddenly, but. aft

by the reptile. suddenly spreads its
wings and gives the reptile sudden

very hard and sharp talons. This IL

Origin of Eircwater.

When the Hudson's Bay Trading
company began its trading among the
Indians 1t was found that by selling
the Indians liquor they could more
easily be induced to trade their pelt-

The first whisky or intoxicant of In
ferior quality was distilled in England
and brought to America in large bar
rels, but in transporting 1t overland 1t
was found more convenient to divide
II into small kegs. The traders soon
became aware of the fact that by
diluting the whisky with water more
furs could be obtained This was prac-
tised for some time. but the Indians
learned that good whisky poured on
fire would cause it to flame up, where
as had tie whisky been diluted the
fire would be quenched. 1t was by
this simple experiment that the term
'frewater" became>e common word

tongues of women from the effects 1t
produced.-Red Man.
