A Lesson from Real Life.

Many months ago Il young man
called on tn" editor of n large daily
/ In western city and applied for IA
( position. The editor received him
, in his office and they talked the
| matter over, the editor inquiring as
/ to his habits and ways of living.
The young man was pleasant aud
made II satisfactory impression on
the man as he talked with him. At
first the editor spoke favorahly of
giving him position, but after they
had talked together "A few minutes
the man took IA cigar from his pock-
ct and began smoking il, while he
spoke Of what would be expected of
the person who received tn" posi-
ton. Seeing the editor preparing
for smoke, the visitor took from
his own pocket II pouch of tobacco
and rolled IA cigarette, which he
lighted, After they had cuuversed
IA while, the editor told the young
man that he guessed he would not
need him. The remark very nutur.
ally surprised the young man after
he had received So favorable re-
ceptiou and he asked the editor his
reason for changing his mind so
suddenly. The editor hesitated to
tell him, but when the young man
persisted IN knowing, he said that he
noticed on the fingers o: the young
man yellow status from the cigar
cite ana that he simply produced
the cigar to test his habits. The
one little act of rolling the cigarette
changed the whole situation. the
editor said that he wOuld have m
one in his employ who was subject
Of this neiarious habit. The young
man seemed surprised, but thanked
the editor for telling him and left
the ROOM A few months later "A
fine looking young man appeared mt
the office OF this particular newspa-
per and called for the editor. On be.
ing told the name the editor recalled
the young man, but there was such !
II change in him that he hardly |
knew him at first. The young man !
said that he was the same fellow |
who was seeking position before, |
that he had quit the cigarette habit |,
and would like to have Il position If |
there was Il vacancy. The editor |
gave him the place on trial, and now |
that young man has one of the most |
responsible positions in the business |
and is proving to be one Of the most
valuable employees on the paper, |
