my living: What shall do?-Broken-
hearted"

cannot answer this girl better
than by giving another letter which
came to my desk the other day:
MY Dear Mrs. Gibson-Some day
will you please write an article on
the attentions without intention that
so many business men feel they can
pay to the women they employ? 1
do not believe that many men want
to marry their stenographers or any
other woman who knows their bust
ness. It is one thing the tired business
man wishes to forget, and that is the
reason why he usually keeps his wife
in ignorance of his business affairs
and goes to the musical comedy for
amusement.
"A girl, If she has lots of common
sense, can go out to luncheon with
her single employer provided they
have something of business import
anee to talk about, But beware of
'plateHfc affection because that
usually begins with good intentions
and ends in the place that is popu-
larly supposed to be paved with them.
IF girls will only realize as men
have done for centuries that love is
of life a thing apart and not their
while existence, they will go into
business for something more than
meeting man who will take them
out of Inexperienced"
In my years of work have heard
many pathetic as well as Iudicrous
tales of episodes that have happened
to girls who accepted attentions from
their employers, and while there are
exceptions to the rule, it seems to me
that a girl is freer, more Independent
and more self-respecting when she
keeps her relations with her employer
on purely business basis.
IWould like to hear on this subject
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-12-05

BY IDAH M'GLONE GIBSON
Hardly a day passes that do not
receive a letter asking me if it is con-
sidered proper for girl to accept
attentions from her boss.
It is almost impossible to answer
this general question, as generalties,
in the language of the street, never
gets you anywhere"
If an employer becomes personally
interested in a woman who works for
him it, of course, is apt to make her
employment very easy for time; but
if from any reason he becomes tired
or bored or is otherwise disinclined
to carry on the friendship, the young
woman usually not only loses her
friend but her job as well.
Consequently, from purely bust
ness point of view, | think business
woman should keep her love affairs
and friendships outside the office.

Although both candidates are old

been political enemies and when it was
seen that a meeting between the two
was inevitable as they ran into each
other without being aware that the
other was within a hundred miles of
the Bath station, some anticipated a
clash, but they were doomed to disap-
pointment.
Instead of a clash Mr.. Sewall reached
out his hand and said, why, hello
Dan, what are you doing down here
this morning." and Dan replied Hell

HORSE MARKET.

Boston, July Il.
The general tone of the horse mar
ket continues dull, with prices steady
at the lower level of the past month
AT some of the stables there were spe-
cial sales offered and at these bidding
was active. and fairly good figures
were obtained. Some of the shipments
of Western horses are coming in rather
thin from hard though short service,
and this condition cuts prices, on 9TH
erwise really good animals. Fresh
Western horses are in very limited
supply and are only bought at high
values. Harness classes are quiet, with
only small supply offered at the auc-
ton sales.
The best heavy, green drafters, sold
from $3256425; medium weight, first
class drafters, at $225@325 heavy wag-
on and express horses at $165@225;
milk team, light express and general
business horses, from s135 upward, ac-
cording to weight and quality.
At the City Sale Stables-J. C. Keith
& Co. reported dull weeks trade at
easy figures There was an offering
of express carloads of Western
horses and from 30@4o seconds.
The sales of circus horses at william
Hurwitz' stables on Portland street
drew out a crowd of buyers There was
an offering of 131 horses in one lot,
which were in splendid condition from
a short service, but thoroughly accli-
mated, and these sold to average 5000
per head. This was one of the best
sales reported this week. They also
offered lot of ponies, but these buy
ers were not eager for and they sold
at loss, at $50 per head. There were
8 express carloads of Western horses,
and there will be three more for this
weeks trade.
At the other stables there was as a
rule moderate offerings, selling at
values about the same as for the past
two weeks, with the demand both To-
cal and from the country, the latter
still calling for light weight, medium
priced horses for delivery teams for
the village trade, and also a smaller
demand for heavier horses for mill
and farm work.

BANGOR MONEY
DELAYED IN CONGRESS

Washington, D. c., July 21,-Rep.
Guernsey's bill for an increase in the
appropriation for the new Bangor
postoffice building, which will allow
the rear wall to be constructed OF
granite, the material used in the rest
of the building, instead of brick, as
was originally planned for the side
facing the Tarratine Club, was almost
reached in the House Monday after
noon. The bill authorizing the sale of
land to the Old Town Masons was to
have come up at the same time. AS it
is, it will probably be two weeks be-
fore the House returns to these meas
ures on the calendar.
Rep. Guernseys bill to bridge the
st. John river at Fort Kent and St
Francis passed the lower branch and
will now go to the Senate for action.
It is not expected that it will meet
with opposition there.
Minority Leader Underwood told
Rep. Guernsey he would hold the
House in session until o'clock Mon
day afternoon in an effort to reach
the Bangor postoffice bill on the cal
endar. Rep. Baker of California, how
ever upset this plan by making
trouble with certain other bills in
which he was interested. and it was
thought advisable to adjourn at $50
o'clock, which was done.

Governor F'ernald is always pleas
ing speaker in. this county. He had
some interesting but appalling facts
on the effect the tariff is having on the
industries Of Maine. He called at
tcntion to the condition of the dairy
ing in Maine. He said that he owned
q creamery at Poland and his manager
who is a Democrat told him that last
March the creamery was forced on ac-
count of the tariff to pay the farmers

the corresponding month of the year
before the creamery had paid SO cents
per pound. Last month the creamery
paid 81 cents where the same month
of year ago it paid 80 cents. I'VE

clared. The farmers of Maine are
losing $4,000 daily on account of the
tariff in the sale of butter fat alone.

Washington was that on the 10th of
last April food was higher to the con-
sumner than ever before" He declared
that they had failed to reduce the high
cost of living and the producer was
getting less In this country. DO
you know that there are 100000 freight
cars idle in this country at present.
We are being interfered with in
every single industry. 1T is your
duty TO come to the rescue and change

words.
Col Parkhurst was the last speaker
for the evening He produced some
very convincing figures and facts. He
stated that there was no difference
between the principles of the Republi
can party and the progressive party
and that the Republican party was the
best instrument to work out the
principles that the two parties believe
in. The Progressive party can have
no possible chance to win and that
a vote for the Progressive candidate
is half vote for the Democratic
candidate. Col. Parkhurst showed
that in every instance where an cleo
ton or primary had been held since
the Roosevelt vote in 1912 the Progress
sives have lost in numbers from so to
Is per cent. and where two elections
have been held in the same place since
then that the decrease in many cases
had been even more than that. He de-

SCARLET FEVER SITUA-
TON is NOT IMPROVING

| With the discovery Tuesday of four
cases of scarlet fever. two of which were
on Washington street and two on Frank
lin street, the situation as regards the
presence of that disease in the upper sec
ton of the city. or in the vicinity of
Cushnoc Heights. cannot be said TO be
very encouraging and from existing con-
ditions it is the belief of the health au-
thorities that some time will probably
elapse before the disease Is finally stamp
ed out
Two of the. cases are new ones, in the
family of Louis Vigue at "A Washington
street, where one death occurred Tues
day morning, that of a little son of Mr.
and Mrs. Vigue, and the patients in both
the new cases are children, one a boy of
six years and the other a girl of four
years
OF the other two cases one is in the
Blais family at AZ Franklin street and the
other in the Lessor family at As Franklin
street, both patients being children. In
both of these cases, which are thought to
be of two months standing, the children
are desquamating and are out every day
playing about among the other children
of the neighborhood. There is no means
of knowing how many exposures there
have been, and it is for this reason that
the health authorities are inclined to be-
lieve that cases of the disease are likely
to make their appearance for some time
to come.
In the cases on Franklin street the
heads of the families have been disin-
fected but the houses will not be fumi-
gated until the children In the families
who have been suffering from the disease
have ceased to desquamate.
