Vacation Hints

Maurice Switzer, in LeSlies.
By all means take your vacation. The
more you are missed at the office the
warmer will be your welcome on your
return. If your absence goes unnotlced,
1t will take some of the conceit out of you
and perhaps inspire you to better effort.
There are generally two kinds of men
who are opposed to vacations. one Is the
fellow who is afraid to go away in the
dread s1at the boss will find out during
his absence how little he amounts to; the
other is the chap who wants to create the
impression that he is a tireless worker.
The kind of job that you have to eter-
nally sit on and watch isn't worth hold
ing, or II it is, you re the wrong party in
IT. When yt.u drri feel at the bottom
of your heart that you are producing
that you're making good every hour in
the 24-then you can lay SO to a tin beer
seal you're not; you can't fool your con-
science. Don't waste time Watching al
job that's too big for you; go out and
land one that fits your capacity ana you'll
be happier in the end.
Play an open game. especially with
yourself. Stand on your merits; insist on
getting what's coming to you, but don't
overlook giving the other fellow his due.
Never be afraid that somebody will find
out how to do certain thing as well as
you can. If you know only one thing.
you're in a bad way and as rule the
fellow who Is afraid some one will find
out what he knows, never knows any,
thing worth finding out.
Take a few days off and don't bother
about the lad who may put something
over while you're gone; If breath can
dethrone you, the empire isn't worth rul-
ing.
Don't waste time trying to discover
what's in the mind of some one else; it s
the job of a lifetime sizing up yourself
I'm always suspicious of man who
won't take vacation. 1t isn't the nature
of a normal man to stick to any eternal
grind when he gets an opportunity for
a bit of honest relaxation. Mostly that
sort of a play is made to the grand
stand.
The man who doesn't care for fresh air,
the sea, the rolling hills, green valleys
and streams or the perfume of summer
woods, who can find no inspiration In the
broad amphitheatre of nature, has a kink
in his mental makeup.
If you don't know how to loaf you
can't know how to labor. There is no
rest like that which is earned after work
well done. and there is no work better
done than that which is enjoyed after a
little idleness.

Away back, opposite the entrance, a can

For a moment after entering the grotto

preceding visitors has printed it. The
light from the entrance gives the water
a marvellous blue tone, impossible to de-
scribe, and the oars are as of silver But
the boatman quickly makes the round

At the Qrnherm

Captain Louis Sorcho, the celebrated
deep sea diver and submarine engineer.
Is attracting unlimited attention at the
Orpheum this week The attention is
due not only to his interesting exhibi-
tlon of the dangers that confront those
who follow submarine work. a topic of
which the public, generally speaking,
is practically ignorant, but of the i'm
portance attached to the presence of
Captain Sorcho himself in Harrisburg.
Those who follow metropolitan news3a-
pers as well as the current magazines
have undoubtedly come to know Mr..
Sorcho as ''big man. He has de-
voted untiring ingenuity in this one line
of work. acct d2lishiug much, and he
is looked upon to-day as the most ac-
complished man who has ever donned
the diving suit.
While his most notorietv probably
emanated from his excellent work in re-
covering the sunken Maine and 1872 of
the bodies that went down with it,
there are many other big pieces of work
he has been assigned, such as the Slo-
cum disaster and many others. Through
his cautious observation of the dangers
that confront the diver, Mr.. Sorcho has
done more than anv other man to lessen
these dangers, his invention of the sub
marine telephone being easily the most
important of these. At the Orpheum
he actually brings a small ocean and
ship on the stage. His demonstration
is more than interesting. The Or
pheum S bill throughout is clever and
diverting. Adv.##%
