Fairness wilma.

That It pays to be fair with en-
ployes was illustrated recently in the
New York financial district. A young
man who had worked for q large
house for three years was forced to
remain at home two days because OF
illness. He had never been absent
from his desk q day during the entire
time, not even for a summer vacation.
Nevertheless, when he received his
salary envelope the amount Of two
days pay had been deducted.
The boy was indignant and resigned
on the spot. The following day he
closed a deal involving 100000 which
would have meant a clear profit OF
$4,000 to the firm he had Just left.
The young man turned the business
over to arrival house and was given q
position. His contract calls for double
the salary he had received at the old
house and stipulates that he is to re-
ceive one months vacation each sum-
mer with full pay.

Systematic WRITING.

All busy women know the value Of
system, and every busy woman should
systematic her daily tasks.
In the matter Of letter writing many
women are great procrastinators.
They persistently leave important let
tiers unanswered until the last pos.
sible moment, and then have to write
a hurried note, often forgetting to
take up important subjects for dis
cussion.
The best way to do Is to have one
day or evening set apart for weekly
letter writing. One woman reserves
Tuesday morning for this purpose,
and she allows none but the most
pressing duties to interfere with her
writing.
While reading q letter she will jot
down any particular thing she wants
to mention In the reply on the back Of
the envelope, place 1t in the letter
rack on her desk and when Tuesday
comes has all the weeks correspond
ence ready for answering before her.
II during the interim Of the receipt
and answering Of a letter she thinks
Of any point she wished discussed,
that, too. is noted on the envelope.
With this system letter writing is a
real pleasure-one that is looked for
ward to every week with keen inter
est.

ONLY THOUGHT WAS TO HELP
Showing, to ParaphraSe, How Ono
Touch Of Powder Makes the
Feminine World Kin.

She was going to get OF the car q
few blocks further on and had great
longing to powder her nose before she
alighted so that when she kept her
tryst with him she should not present
a shiny tip. The woman sitting next
to her was Of the critical sisters, who
had looked her up and down from
boots to bonnet when she entered the
car. The woman with the shiny nose
felt certain II she surreptitiously tried
to extract her powder rag from her
purse and dabble her tip with It the
woman at her side would glare hor-
ribly. But as her street drew near
she determined to risk 1t anyhow and
trust to Providence that quick dab
would accomplish the desired result.
She dabbed-blindly and hurriedly.
But the woman saw her. She could
feel the glare turned in her direction.
Then, to her infinite amazement, the
woman whipped open her retfcule and
extracted a small mirror. This she
handed to her neighbor with an I'M
derstanding smile. Better take It,
my dear-there's a COB Of powder on
the left side near your eye" The
other woman, in her gratitude, for
gave the glare previously administer
ed, and remembered the good old ad-
age, one touch Of powder makes the
feminine world kin.

PUT END TO FRoG-FARMING
Audubon's Scheme Might Have Been
Good but for One Small, Unfore-
seen Incident.

There Is an amusing story told in
connection with the first venture in
frog-farming ever made in the United
States.
Early in the last century Audubon,
the great ornithologist, went down the
Ohio river from Pennsylvania in q
little steamer Of his own, stopping at
various points to obtain specimens Of
little-known birds.
While at Hendersonville, Kentucky,
which he made his home for some
time, he built mill and proposed to
raise frogs on large scale, preparing
for that purpose a pond near the
river.
The frogs multiplied wonderfully,
and on warm summer evenings 1t was
the practice of Audubon to sit under
a tree near the pond, listening to the
concert given by his stock, and cal
culating the amount of money he
should derive from the sale Of the
grown frogs.
But one night, when the frogs were
nearly grown, they heard the booming
of bullirogs in the Ohio. Their curios-
ity was aroused, and hopping out of
the pond, they made their way to the
river, into which they plunged and
disappeared!

POSSIBLY TOO MUCH FOR HER
Man Should Have Recognized That
There Are Limits Even 70
Falry's Power.

Once upon o time q man who lived
out Bloomfield way did an unusual
service for q fairy queen. ! don't re-
member exactly what 1t was; perhaps
he stepped into q drift to let her pass.
At any rate she said to him in graft
tude:
"Sir, for your kindness I will re.
ward you by granting you three wish
es. Name what you desire most in
all the world and It shall be yours"
The man who lived out Bloomfield
way thought q moment. He ought
have lived out South Orange way or
down Elizabeth way or over Arlington
way, but 1t happened that he dwelt out
Bloomfield way, and as this Is q true
story, / must tell 1t exactly as 1t was.
He thought q moment, and then he
thought another moment, making two
moments all told, after which he said:
Il wish people would quit eating
peanuts In the street cars. It gives
the cars such o vegetable air, and
besides, II Is very harmful, for, as you
know, people should have cheerful sur
roundings at meals"
On hearing this request the fairy
queen vanished In q flash Of fame
with a deafening report, and the next
time the man got aboard a car to 90
to his home out Bloomfield way, the
passengers were still eating peanuts
and the car had q breath.
This teaches US that fairies are not
all they are cracked up to be.-New-

The Horse Psdomsters.

The whorls Of hair on the coats oil
horses and other animals are natural
pedometers, inasmuch as they regis
ter the locomotive activities Of the
animals on whose bodies they are
found.
The best examples and the greatest
number Of these hairy whorls and
crests are found on the domestic
horse.
A study of the action Of the under
lying muscles explains the origin OF
these peculiarities in the lay Of the
hair and furnishes the justification for
calling them pedometers, although the
analogy is, Of course, merely super
fetal.
