Superstitlous ToiIers,

Humble as the cookie is, it gives
employment to several hundred men,
women, and children on the coast of
Lancashire, England, and seems to
have bred in them silence and super.
stition. Several villages depend upon
the cookie as an industrial mainstay
The cookers are humble folk, and
among strangers exceedingly shy and
taciturn, as well becomes their lone.

and bents; they subsist on the coars.
est fare, and while at all times their
living is precarious, they suffer pc.
riodical hardships through destructive
high tides, shifting channels, and the
breakup or altered position of the
skeers. These toilers are often seen
in twos and threes far apart, not a
word escaping the lips of those who
work together. They are supersti.
tious enough to believe that disputes
among themselves over the skeers
would be overheard and resented by
the embedded cookies, in which case
those sensitive shellfish would per.
force quit by the next tide.

AS he looked at Miss Marjory Brown
Abner suddenly became aware that
for the first time in months he was
able to do so without Daniel coming

Of it, he hated to have Daniel talk

All of which reminds me of some

her as to the affairs OF the house, but,
to their delight, Miss Brown proved as
intelligent as she was attractive. In
fact, if either Abner or Daniel had
known just how attractive Hiss Brown
was, it is probable that they would
timorously have decided to seek else
where for bookkeeper. When Miss
Brown answered their advertisement
her long, dark hair was lightly coiled
on the top of her head, and she wore
prim tailor-made suit; but after the
first week Miss Browns hair was
fashionably coiffured, and her dresses,
though simple, were Of that fashion
able aspect which is commonly termed
stunning And within a month Miss
Marjory Brown ruled the office with
a rod of iron.
Abner, who had acquired the habit
of lingering little too long over his
lunch, would stink into the office on
his return in order to avoid Miss
Browns reproachful eyes. AS for Dan
iel, if he took late train and turned
up at ten instead of at nine fifteen, he
hardly dared give Miss Brown instruc-
lions during the rest of the forenoon.
"Abner,' said Daniel one day, Il
withdraw what | said against women
bookkeepers. Miss Brown is a-er-
a-er-peach!"
He Kissed the word at his brother
and then looked at him as one who
has committed a breach of decorum.
But Abner only nodded his head, and
then Daniel looked at him quite diff
ferently. That Abner should hold the
same opinion of Miss Brown reused a
curious sensation in him.
From that time onward each broth
er watched the other narrowly when
he was talking to Miss Brown.
"Abner," said Daniel, what would

| So Miss Brown was duly raised from
fifteen to twenty dollars a week, to
lure her away from matrimonial as
pirations.
But that was in the good times be-
fore the panic. Then business grew
worse and worse, ard, as is always
the case, the trade in Injuries was the

THEIR BOOKKEEPER
BY GERALD FINCH.

And the doctor says he'll never
be able to come to work again"
The ending of Daniel Patterson's
story fell with dismal effectiveness up
on the ear II Abner, his brother Old
Eph Jones, Who had kept the books
for the importing firm ever since it's
inception by Hiram Patterson, the ia
Their of the two brothers, had been dis
abled by old age.
Of course, he would be pensiOned,
but the question was, who would take
his place? The Patterson business
was an old-fa 3hioned one, trading with
few wealthy, old-fashioned families.
There was nothing modern about the
little warehouse, tucked away in an
obscure corner of the downtown Sec
ton Of the metropolis. A hustling
young American would have been like
bull in china shop.
AS matter of fact, the Patterson
business barely paid its way. But
the brothers had amassed a comfor-
table fortune. Daniel, the elder, was
little over fifty; Abner, his brother
who was always regarded as the reck-
less one, was forty-five Both were
confirmed bachelors, and if they had
given up business neither would have
known what to do with himself.
We'll have to advertise for book
keeper" said Ahner after consulta-
ton. "a quiet, dignified young wom-
an"
"Woman!" yelled Daniel in horror.
why, women make the best book
keepers" answered Abner. They're
honester, and they attend to business
where man would be thinking all the
time of-of sports and moving pic
lures and-and horse racing"
This was the climax of wickedness
in both the brothers eyes. &c. in the
end, the experiment of woman book
keeper was reluctantly decided on.
And thus, in due course of time, Miss
Marjory Brown took her seat at the
desk behind the grille and began to
take financial charge Of the brothers
affairs.
Both Abner and Daniel had antici-
pated troublesome time in posting

Just a Hint to the Foreman

A brawny Scotch laborer was taken
on as a new hand" at a shipbuilding
yard on the Clyde, and the foreman
instructed him to convey several large
pieces of timber from one part or the
yard to another. The man took off
his coat and started, but after time
he waylaid the foreman. 81 say, mis-.
teri" he said. Did you catch nv
name when We took me on?" "Ay"
said the foreman. "Ye said 'Tamson' +"
i did, said the man; q thought may
be We took it for 'Samsoni'"

FATHER GAME To THE
RELIEF OF HIS SON
Young Crook Got of Easy; He
Gave Several Different
Names

Like many other crooks, the young
man who was arrested by Chief OF
Police Klugherz last Wednesday aft
ernoon, on telephone call from
Winnebagc. and afterwards confessed
to having worked a swindling game
in buying hides for a Chicago house
that he did not really represent and
incidentally borrowing money from
the sellers of the hides, has many
different names.
When he was in Mankato he gave
the name OF j. Miller and his home
as Waterloo, Iowa. Last Saturday
morning he was taken before Judge
Quinn at Blue Earth, where he gave
the name OF z. T. Mccain and stated
that he lived at Luxembourg, Iowa.
This seems to have been the correct
information, according to a dispatch
from Blue Earth, as that states
that his father was notified of the
young mans trouble and came i'm.
mediately to Blue Earth to straighten
things out.
The Blue Earth authorities were
willing to let the affair be fixed up
by the f1ther Paying the young mans
surreptutiously contracted debts ami
letting the young man plead guilty
snd go free under suspended sen
tence. This program. being satisfact-
DRY to all concerned, was adopted.
Sheriff George Freer. il will be re-
membered, took the young man from
the Manksto police station, to Win
nebago on Thursday of last week to
await judicial action.

laborer, Committed Suicide
Near Minnebago

Word comes from Winnebago to
the effect that a young man by the
name of William Robson, whose
home Is said to be at or near Britton.
N. D., committed suicide at a farm
two and half miles north of Whine.
bago City. last Friday afternoon, says
The Blue Earth Post. He owned a
team OF horses and had been work
ing in that community for some time,
but when this deed was enacted he
was employed OF the Bert Grimes
farm. Before turning the instrument
of death--a forty-five calibre revolver
upon hinsSli. he killed both the
horses. lie is said to have borne a
good reputation for honesty and up
righfness In that community, and the
ending cannot be accounted for In
any other way than insanity. The Post
has not learned what disposition
was made of the body, whether he
had parents living at Britton, who
came and claimed the remains, or
whether he was buried at Winnebago
or not.
