TOO BRIGHT FOR BUSINESS
Small Boy Put an End to Thefts Of
Candy Tasters But Lost
His Job.

A small boy began his business ca
reer In five-and-ten-cent store last
week-and he also closed the first
chapter Of it in the same store two
days later. He was overzealous in his
efforts to protect his employers inter-
est. Every merchant displaying coun-
tiers of candies unprotected by glass
or wire screen covers loses pounds
OF candy weekly through the petty
thieyings Of candy-tasters who help
themselves to one or as many pieces
as they can grab while passing the
unprotected sweets.
The small boy feeling the responst.
bility Of his position reported the
raids on the candy to the manager,
who, approaching the childs interest,
explained to him that 1t was almost
impossible to deal with such culprits
and that at least Is pounds Of candy
were confiscated weekly In such fash

Part of the boys work was to un-
cover the counters in the morning,
and he was on the job good and early

He assured the salesgirl at the candy

WORKING CONV|CTS.
on COUNTY ROADS
Proposition VIII Come Before the
County Board of Supervisors
For Their De-
cslon.
TO EXPERIMENT AT AMEs
Warden In Prison Says Three-Fourths
OF the Men Want to Get Out
on Country Road
Work.

Since the last legislature passed a
law allowing the convicts at the state
prison to be worked on the roads I'M
der certain conditions it has been sug-
gested that Lee county should be one
of the first to take advantage of this.
Just now the county supervisors, with
the county engineer, are arranging for
the good roads work under the recent
law and if much work is done this fall
1t has been suggested that convicts be
used The propositions will be suggest
ed to the board.
The first work with prisoners, how
ever, will be done at the State Col
lege at Ames by prisoners from Ana
mosa- Under the general plan agreed
upon, from fifteen to twenty-five men
will be put to work with another
gang of workmen hired by the college:
they will be kept in q tent pitched on
the college campus, prison guards to
be in charge; the college to pay the
state the same wages as to other men:
and the board of parole will reward
the prisoners with part of the money
tney earn.
The law contemplates that the
state retain enough to defray the cost
road work proves successful prisoners
give part to those dependent on the
prisoner, and give him a small com
pensation. If the experiment on the
road work proves successful prisoners
will be used to build sewer at the
college.
The system was advocated by those
who are unfriendly to the contract sys-
tenn. The law provides for the use of
only those men who want to work on
the roads and Warden McClaughry has
told the board of parole three-fourths
of the men of the Anamosa institution
4 want to get out on the roads.

Firefly's secret Discovered.

How the freely and tl,e glowworm
produce their light without setting
themselves on fire was mystery un-
til very recently. But Professor Ra-
phael-Dubois Of Lyon university.
France. has been studying the prob
lem, and at the congress Of the Zoo,
logical society at Monaco he described
his solution OF 1t.
According to him this phosphor-
escence is caused by two compounds,
which he calls "luciferase" and 'Iuci-
ferine." Neither of these alone is ef.
fective, nor will they produce light
when combined, except when they are
In contact with water.
Professor Raphael Dubois succeeded
IN isolating these two substances and
keeping them for several months In
bottles without deterioration.

Tonic laughter.

There is no spice like laughter at

laugh stimulates the circulation, pro-

shower bath of the spirit, invigorating

luxury at our command. Moreover,
cheerfulness lis largely matter Of

larger returns for the effort involved.
