the result? Shell conclude that this
is a pretty good place to work; she'll
see that we give her credit for pos
sessing good taste, and we will have
no more trouble over the servant
problem for awhile anyway"
Mrs. Glenfaddle decided to take her
husbands advice for once. II the SOL
emn truth must be told, she has never
become addicted to the habit Of doing
this. But there seemed to be a few
CLEANS Of reason in his argument.
and accordingly she decided to make
her Emma thrice glad on Christmas
morning. The girl had been very pa
tient and faithful for quite a while
anyway, and it was nc more thai
right that merit should be rewarded.
Among the things III the box which
Emma found on the kitchen table
when she went down to get breakfaS
on the morning Of the. great day were
cloth for a fine new dress, a toilet set
for her bureau, a glove box with a
pair of gloves In 1t, and a purse made
of seal leather.
The next day vixen Mr.. Glenfaddle
got home his wife said:
"Oh, by the way, Arthur, I wish
you'd put an lad. in the paper tomor
row: Emng has given me notice that
she will leave Us a week from Thurs
day. She has found a place whers
she a get IS cents a week more than
we are Paying her .

Mr.. Glenfaddle started out about
two weeks before Christmas to solve
the servant problem.
"The trouble with women" he said
to his wife. SIS that they don't go at
the thing right. This trouble. will
never be settled until it is settled by
diplomacy, and diplomacy is a thing
that, am sorry to say, doesn't come
natural to women. Servant girls are
only human-that's a thing which In
too often forgotten. Treat your girls
kindly and they will stand by you.
That's the rule 1 go by in my bust
ness affairs. What kind of a time do
you suppose l would have with the
men in my Office if I tried to. manage
them as a woman manages the help in
her kitchen? Why, I'd always have
to keep breaking in new people.
Nov let me give you a few point
ers. Get something nice for the girl
on misunderstanding that you
would be glad to have yourself. Most
women give their servants a few
cheap trinkets that serve no other
purpose than to show the girls that
they are put away down in the social
scale.
Instead of getting her a ten-cent
comb or a new continuance to scrape
the crumbs off the dining-room table,
buy her a nice present this year. Give
her something she will be proud to
show to her friends. Then, you see,
they will get to envying her and COM

what she got from US, and What1l be

GooDRY, OLD YEAR, eoooEY."
BY Margaret e. sanester.

"Goodby old year, goodby."
We've had good times together:
You gave us manya bright blue SIX!
And sometimes stormy weather.
But we've had lots of fun
We've skated, fished and boated;
And now, just as the year is done,
In school we've been promoted.
Old year, be brave and proud;
With banners floating over you,
You Join the shadowy crowd
OF years that went before YOU
Goodby, old year, goodby;
With "'finls'' to your story,
h stars shine out on high
To light your way with glory.

P.U. COMMISSION
RECOMMENDS NEW
SAFE GUARD SIGNALS

Hartford, Sept. 1s-The public utili-
ties commission, today, sent the fol-
lowing communication to General
Manager C. l. Bardo, of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road concerning banjo signals:
LAS a. preliminary suggestion grow
ing out of the investigation of the
North Haven wreck, the commission
would recommend for consideration
the advisability of Immediately in
stal1ing for the information and guild
ance of enginemen, conspicuous yell
low signs (properly lettered) to be
placed 2,500 feet in advance of all
banjo signals which are not at the
present time equipped with distant
signals until such time as the new
automatic signals be installed.
''Such signals would afford land
mark to the enginemen and from
statements made by competent 1ocomo-
tive engineers would afford material
assistance in controlling trains. This
suggestion is deemed of sufficient i'm
portance to have it called to the rail-
road company's attention before the
full report of said accident is com
plete and ready for issuance"
The commission is preparing its re-
port of the wreck and will probably
make it public next week. 1t is I'm
derstood that the commission will
make a number of recommendations.

Jap Ambassador Confers
With President Wilson
On The Alien Land Law

Washington, Sept. .1s-Viscount
Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, had
an engagement with President Wilson,
today, to discuss the California alien
land law. He has had several con-
ferences with Secretary Bryan but no
answer has been made to the fourth
japanese note sent two weeks ago
and the Toxic government, contending
with elements attacking the minis
try, not only for it's difficulties with
China but with the United States as
well, is said to be growing FESTIVE
under the delay.
Counsellor John Bassett Moore, who
framed the previous notes to Japan,
is away on a vacation and is not ex-
pected back until next week. Today's
conference with President Wilson,
however, has been generally inter-
preted in official circles as the result
of pressure upon Ambassador Chinda
from the home government to get de-
finite word as to when a reply is to
be expected and to hasten the pro-
gress of the negotiations.

about IL o'clock today, Chemical Com

fire in an automobile truck that had
stopped near the building. The truck
is owned by G. H. Jennings of South
port. The man who was driving it
allowed the lubricating apparatus to
leak until the running oil took fire
from the sparkling apparatus on the
car.
When he found a fire blazing under
his seat the driver stopped the truck
and leaped into the street. He first
tried to dig up dirt from the street
in his hand to throw on the fire and
then he became historical Some men
in the Gledhill office took in the sit

'THAW'S COUNSEL
LOOKING UP LAW
ON EXTRADITION

Concord, N. H, Sept. 1s-Harry K.
Thaw sat behind great heap of news
papers at the breakfast table, this
morning, reading Washington dis
patches saying that if his case went
to the United States supreme court
years might roll by before a decision
was handed down.
1--WE can't watt said the fugitive,
"but hope Governor Fe1ker will de-
eide against my extradition at once
SO that it will not be necessary to
press our habeas corpus writ in the
federal courts"
1t is thought the general public will
be excluded from the hearing on Tues
day although Governor. F'elker has
made no announcement relative to the
proceedings.
Ten law clerks retained by Thaw's
counsel, were busy, today, looking up
state and federal court rulings in the
matter of extraditing a person charg-
ed with a crime yet held to be legally
insane.
80 far, we have been unable to find
any case where a person in Thaw's
position was extradited,'' said Mr..
Shurtleff, one Of Thaw's New Hamp-
shire lawyers. The same statement,
in substance, was made by Federal
Judge Aldrich at Litt1eton on Tues
day, in a discussion with William T.
Jerome, chief of New York states
group of lawyers seeking Thaw's ex-
tradition. )
