THE CLOCK WATCHER.

With one eye on his work and the
other on the clock as its hands ap'
preached quitting time. a clerk In
the Office of a Philadelphia contracto,
made an error in an estimate which
was not detected until a contract had
been made involving the firm in loss
OF $4,000.
The clock watching clerk gave as
his excuse that he was only hal;
paid But results show that, though
only half paid he was over-paid. One
eye is not half as good as two eyes
Half mind is not as good as an
undivided mind. Half pay is toe
much for half a man.
1t is not only the errors that cause
direct disaster which count. but even
more costly still in the long run are
the frequent little eros that call
for constant supervision Of a man =
work.
The listless worker wastes more
than his own time; he wastes q lot OF
the more valuable time of the man
above him who. in order to make
good his deficiencies. has to keep I
watchful eye on all his work 4
careless, inefficient worker may actu.
ally cause more work TO others than
he does himself.
Many an employe seems to be sat
isfied to stay just within the line OF
safety from discharge. lie Is In.
terested in nothing all day 50 much
as in the clock at quitting time. He
works not to get his work done right
but to put in his time and get his
pay. His work does not mean to him
occupation Of his service. but only
his lob" He is a mere job holder.
He Is not a worker but . shirker.
On the other hand there are en-
ployes-hosts Of them-to whom
their work means their best possible
service. their fullest ENTHUSIASM.
their keenest JOY. their highest life.
These are the bone. the Drawn. the
blood and the brain Of all business.
There is a sound aphorism: IF
you never do more than you are paid
for. you will never get paid for more
than you do. "-Pensacola Journal.

enormous wave coming and cast adrift
Just in time to avoid being popped,
after which he was driven by the force
of the storm away from the vessel.
The wave in question broke right
over the Florence, sweeping her from

some must have been washed over
board, for they distinctly heard a loud
cry above the raging of the storm.

floss STARTS WAR
ON coal TRUST
Joins Movement to Bring About
Cut in Price.

Boston, Dec. Ex-Governor Foss has
taken the first official step to bring
about a New England wide crusade
against the coal trust by sending q
letter to Governor Robert P. Bass, Of
New Hampshire, in which he declares
that he is ready to cooperate with the
governors of New England states In a
fight to bring about cut in the price
of coal.
This action by the government is
the latest development in the fight
against the coal trust which was be-
gun by the Progressive party previous
to the state election. A committee of
Progressives called on the governor
and urged him to cooperate with them
in the matter. The governor promised
to do so as soon as the election was
out of the way, so that he would not
be accused of personal motives.
