Many persons, themselves city-bred,
and city reared, have fed to the
soil and succeeded in winning great
happiness. In such cases they
have succeeded only by going
through a process of savage disil-
lusionment. But with Dede and Day
light it was different. They had both
been born on the soil, and they knew
its naked simplicities and rawer ways.
They were like two persons, after far
wandering, who had merely come
home again. There was less of the
unexpected in their dealings with ma
ture, while theirs was all the delight
of reminiscence. What might appear
sordid and squalid to the fastidiously
reared, was to them eminently whole

NEW ACT At

The Sierra this morning brought a
number of vaudeville acts for the
Consolidated Amusement Co. and
Manager McGreer was on the go from
early morn until late in the afternoon
arranging for accommodations of the
Thespians. What gave him more
trouble and worry than anything else
was the pony circus which he had
scheduled for the Liberty tonight. But
the Territorial vets insisted that the
little animals had to undergo quar-.
antine whether they were trained or
not. Appealing, McGreer vas unable
to get his ponies off so he will have to
postpone their opening until Thurs
day night. -

rived this morning but didn't give
McGreer any trouble, is La Boheme, a

assistants are employed and they are
more apt to make their purchases

Loss May Be Serious.
In the case mentioned above where
local firm lost the trade of another
firm, the money spent in that line of
goods easily ran into the thousands in
year, and even a small amount of
the total taken in. would have paid a
competent man. But in trying to save
very few dollars the firm lost thou
sands. No doubt there are many sim
liar cases and if the business houses
are not now conscious of the fact it is
time for them to take notice.
In the hotels and restaurants the
same complaint is made. In the
places where there is no private
switchboard a Japanese table boy usu-
ally answers the telephone, and his
answer to almost any question is
Yes" Then in the restaurants where
Japanese are employed as walters it
is often most trying to give an order.
And when one wants kidney saute and
has repeated his order half a dozen
times or so he gives up in despair and
asks for mutton stew. The next day,
however, he takes his meals else
where. Cinnamon make splendid
walters, telephone boys, messengers
and cooks until they become too ego
tistical. And. alas! they are often not
in one employ long before such is the
case. At many of the hotels the tele-
phone boy becomes far too interested
in the conversation of the two parties
talking and sometimes repeats what
he has heard. At other times they do
not bother to connect parties. Many
complaints are made by the tourists
about the absolute indifference which
the telephone aid bell boys show.
There seems but one thing to be
done, the hotels managers, housewives
and employers should be willing to
do their part towards securing good
servants by allowing them no leeway
and by being willing to pay enough
for competent help and by not toler-
ating help that is unsatisfactory.
