Employers Right to Discharge.

The United States Court of Appeals,
Sixth circuit, laid down rules govern
ing a masters right to discharge an
employee for misconduct In Carpenter
Steel company VS.. Norcross, a suit for
breach of contract of employment.
The court held it to be a sufficient de-
fence that the employe was guilty Of
the misconduct charged, although
such misconduct was not known to
the employer at the time of the dis
alleged acts by the employee. The
court held that the servant owes the
master the duty of faithfulness, wheth-
er expressed in the contract or not,
and any conduct showing an unfaith-
full disposition is sufficient to justify
a discharge. The acts proved were
that plaintiff was manager of the de-
PENDANTS branch warehouse, where
high grade steel was sold to the auto
mobile trade, and that in entertaining
purchasing agents at the automobile
show in New York he was guilty of
excessive drinking and committed
other acts of dissipation and made ad-
vances out of his deposit account to
employees and customers. The court
ruled that such acts did not constitute
misconduct warranting his discharge
as matter of law, but raised Ques
ton of fact for the jury.

Public Meat Roaster.

In many of the well traversed

are being established cook shops Of
the French kind. The business is not
only one Of supplying hot roasted meats

also of roasting meats for persons in
the neigh borhood who may have de-
sire to eat meat cooked in the best,
as it is one Of the oldest. ways known
to man-on d revolving Jack" before
an open fire. 1t is no place for hun
CRY man to stand-before the plate
glass window of the roast shop" The
windows disclose a tall grill made in
the foreign fashion of blue and white
tiles, in which bright, hard coal fire
burns all day long. In front of this
grill is arranged 3 lack" with two
arms, consisting of long steel skewers
that are pierced through the meat and
by a mechanical arrangement the
Jack" is kept constantly revolving
until the meats on it are thoroughly
done. 1t is a most appetizing sight
to see the lacks" laden with chick

it clear that meats furnished by pa

GOT OUT THROUGH SkYLlGHT
Brooklyn Woman, Locked in Office
Building, Left by the Roof In
stead of the Door.

A prisoner in her ladies' tailoring
shop on the top floor of the 6-story
building at 40 East Broadway, New
York, Mrs. NJ w. Winston, weight
$50 pounds, was eventually rescued
a few days ago from her predicament
by two f1remen, policeman and a
janitor, who lowered ropes from the
roof of the building through the sky
light.
Mrs. Winston, whose home is at
795 De Kalb avenue Brooklyn, went
to her shop in the morning to finish
some work, and requested the janitor
to leave the front door open so she
could get out. The janitor forgot his
instructions and Mrs. Winston found
the door on the lower floor locked
when she wanted to leave.
AS she realized there was no other
method of getting out she attracted
crowd by pounding on the glass
panels of the door, but the spectators
were unable to understand her pre-
dicament She then returned to the
fifth floor, wrote a note explaining
she was locked in and threw it out
the window.
The crowd read it and offered sug-
gestions, while a more thoughtful
person hurried to Engine Company
No. 8, on East Broadway. and explain
&c the situation to the tiremen. Vol
unteers Stephens and Keill, with ropes
and an AK, were sent to lberate the
woman and they picked up Patrolman
Little on the way.
Assisted by the janitor of the ad-
joining building, the rescuers got to
the roof of No. 40 and smashed the
skylight. Stephens was lowered into
the room and, after considerable per-
suasion, Mrs. Winston allowed the
rope to be tied about her waist.
The three men then pulled and fin
ally got their burden to the roof
Stephens was pulled up later. After
thanking her rescuers Mrs. Winston
hurried home.

london's First Charter.

The first charter of the city of Lon
ion was granted by William l. in the
year 1919. This document, written in
Saxon on parchment, is still preserved
and reads as follows: William, the
king, greeteth William, the bishop and
Godfrey, the portreeve, and all the
burgesses within London friendly.
And | acquaint you that | will that We
be all there lawworthy as ye were in
King Edwards days. And [ will that
every child be his fathers heir after
his fathers days. And | will not sui
fer that any man do you any wrong.
God preserve us. The "portreeve"
referred to was the chief officer Of
London, the name signifying chief
governor of a harbor. Afterward the
chief officer was called provost, and
in the reign of Henry H. the Norman
title of marie, soon afterward changed
into mayor, was brought into use.
The first London official to hold the
title OF mayor was Henry Fitz-Alwyn.
who assumed the office in 1889, and
continued to hold it "a years. The
prefix of lord" was granted by Ed

man in the crowd who accompanied
them, to see the shooting. made him
self particularly conspicuous by taunt-

confound you, said one of the prison
ers at last, don't you try to get out
of it by edging off into the crowd and
pretending you are one of them. Come

Followed Good Example.

Ex-President Porfirio DiaZ gained
national prominence and won his
spurs at the battle of Puebla, where
the Liberal forces made a gallant but
Intellectual stand against the French
who had invaded Mexico for the pur-
pose of erecting a throne for Maxi
milan. notwithstanding the fact that
the Mexican forces were defeated,
their defense against superior num-
bers was SO gallant that the anniver-
sary OF the battle of the fifth Of May
became a national holiday in Mexico
A brusque American once asked the
president: why do you Mexicans
celebrate a defeat, when you know
that the French finally took Puebla?"
President. i9iaZ with twinkle in his
eye, replied: Perhaps we have imi-
tated the Americans even to the e1-
tent of celebrating our defeats, for
have been told that the British de-
feated the Colonists at Bunker Hill,
and vet you built monument to com.

they were not married. They were al.

went out Into the platform and stood
and talked for minute, when he took
her in his arms and kissed her fondly
and again hurried away toward a
train.
What do you think Of that?" in.
quired one of the attaches of the sta.
ton.
THAT looks all right Why?"
They do that three or four times a
week. They think that everybody else
will think that he is going away ON a
long journey, but he has never got on
a train yet. He simply walks around
back of the train and disappears, He
gets his kiss all right though"

TICKLING AN OCEAN MONSTER
oerilous Work That Is Prelude to
the Death and Capture of the
Much Dreaded Shark

Tickling shark In order to make
guiar practice among the natives of
he Island Of Tahiti. A writer in the
New York Sun, who watched the ha-
zardous sport while seated in ca
noe manned by two natives, thus de-
scribes it: Peering into the clear wa
Ter, where you can see to a depth of
i've fathoms, you catch a glimpse far
down among the sea ferns and coral
cups of the long, 1.-THE tail of a shark,
and of a huge pectoral fin that sways
continually with a sidewise motion,
and senIs up little ripples to the sur
face
The native diver picks up a coil of
cocoanut fiber with a slipnoose al
ready tied in it, seizes a knife in his
teeth and quietly slips into the water
1t is done with wonderful skill. The
native keeps close to the reef, and
lets himself down through the water
by means OF the sea growths till he
is right over the waving tail Slow
ty black hand stretches out, and
starting behind the pectoral fin, be-
gins to stroke the sea tiger. There is
q faint movement of the body, and the
I'M SWAPS more rapidly.
Again the hand moves forward, and
as it strokes the fish the other hand
leaves the slipknot hanging loosely
near the spread of the tail. Then the
native comes quietly to the surface,
and the spectator breathes freely
again. The sail is set, the steersman
takes his place On the outrigger and
the diver in the bow, with yell of
"Hulla!" pulls hard on the rope.
On the occasion that ! speak of the
shark splashed about the wild frenzy
for moment or two, and then settled
down to a tour of the lagoon. Twice
he circled about, and the canoe plow-
ed along, with the water bubbling and
frothing at the bow, where the keen
eyed native intently watched the tight
ening rope. Suddenly it slackened,
and the diver went over the side like
a flash, with knife in his hand. A
minute later the surface of the water
was brilliant red, and the native
was scrambliDg back into the canoe.
We towed the shark to the beach and
measured him. He was IS feet long
