WHO WANTS TO OCCUPY IT7
English Hotels Seem to Have Queer
Idea as to the Popularity Of
Hearse.

Some of the hotelkeepers ION the
other side" have peculiar ways of ad-
vertising their houses, and one OF the
most singular Of these methods is the
statement in their advertisements
that the hotel is equipped with
hearsei Inasmuch as the American
hotelkeeper is only looking for live
ones" it is not of record that hearses
have been used as attractions in this
country as yet. One OF the English
catering journals in speaking of this
custom, recently said: I'VE have on
several occasions commented upon
the uncanny mixing up of the funeral
traffic business with hotel keeping
an unholy combination to be met with
in some northern parts of Ireland.
Apropos, here is an enticing adver-
tisement from a Sligo paper calculat-
ed to bring quite rush of guests anx-
ious to test the accommodation: Mrs.
-, proprietress of the - hotel.

to her establishment a glass hearse.'"

The love of Renaissance is deep

old, attained a new phrase. Don't you

of her small past. some event OF the

Work for the Secretary.

The secretaries Of great men usual
l. turn out to be somebody in the end
and the quality they must have the
most of is tact. The big men and
women themselves have no time to
smooth things over-they are busy
ruffling things up. And so 1T is the
secretary who must assume the
suave. placating manner; 1t is the sec
rotary who must learn how to tie
up all the loose ends that the big man
leaves flying after business deal: Il
is the secretary who must devote her

CHINESE ARE POOR SOLDIERS
Aversion to Being Ordered 10 Ono Of
the Most Prominent Traits Of an
Oriental.

The Chinese is a poor soldier. Not
that he is lacking In courage. for on
occasions he oheerfully sells himself
as substitute and goes willingly to
the executioner's ak in order to pro-
vide his parents with the small sum
necessary to support them through life.
writes H. H. Windsor in Popular Me-
chanics. The strength of an army is
In teamwork. and here is where he
fails on account of his aversion to be-
Ing ordered. This is found in his do
nestle and industrial work. A gener-
al line Of policy or desired results can
be laid down and he will faithfully
work In accordance Herewith, but he
dislikes to be followed up through the
details OF the work with frequent or
ders. He will produce excellent re-
sults-but they must be accomplished
In his own way. Hence the essence
or good militarism-prompt and I'M
questioned obedience-comes In d.
rect conflict with his nature, and
makes him a poor soldier. However,
this trait is not entirely wanting in
other nationalities. as every business
man knows to his sorrow, and the diff
nculty OF getting employees to do a
thing In the prescribed way is one OF
the constant anxiet.es.

Coombs. Plank and Bender are the only

in the running by Griffith and the trio
will be sadly overworked in those hve
days ahead. Connie Mack will have to
put some Of his younger and less-ex-

mound Is ardently expected by the
Climbers, who say they have a bone
to pick with him for holding them down
