His Privilege.

1t was during the rush hours and
the car was crowded to it's full capaci-
ty and then some.
A rather gaudily dressed young man
was standing next to- a German, each
holding on to the overhanging strap.
The a gave a sudden lurch, which re-
suited in the young mans stepping on
the Germans toes. This irritated the
German, who addressed the other an

Really Baby's Fault,

The young mother had left the six
m~onths-old baby only a few minutes.
but upon going back TO it discovered
quite a large lump over n eye, Dis
covering three-year-old Henry in the
vicinity, she surmised the cause and
questioned him.
Henry, did you hurt the baby's
eye?"

Now, ] know better than that. II
You do not tell me how you hurt the

block at him, but ] told him to look

FOR c0PYIsTs AND WRITERS
Work May Be ~Liahtened and Better
Results Obtained BY Following
These Simple Directions.

The quickest way to copy with pen
or pencil is to put a fat, heavy weight
over the upper edge of the paper on
which you write, to hold ii firm and
leave both hands free. Then place
the matter TO be copied fiat on the
desk at the lcft, so as to bring II as
near as possible TO the blank paper.
with q finger of the left hand keep
your place In the book or manuscript
as you write, anu you will find gener-
ally that you'can copy quite fast IN
this way.
For a paper weight a heavy oblong
rectangular piece Of brass or glass is
most effective. The connecting OF
words by long pen strokes has very
little bad effect on the legibility Of the
copy and certainly time. Oi
course. the stroke should be Iona
enough to mark clearly the break be
tween words.
Writer'S who have a habit of dipping
pens in the mucilage and putting the
mucilage brush into the ink may fine
It n good idea to keep the mucilagt
bottle invariably at one side Of the
desk, and the inkstand at the other.
Half of a lemon set firmly in a small
shallow support and renewed from
time to time will be found to remov'
the finish from old pens quickly an,
thoroughly, Another good way o
bringing forth the possibilities of new
steel pens Is to let some ink dry upol
them before using.

For An Early Closing Hour

A number of merchants have been
advocating early closing of business
houses until March Is. Many OF
them are now closing at 8 O'Clock
and have expressed a Willingness to
close at o'clock If everybody falls
in line.
''If we are going to close early
said one of the merchants the other
day, "Is am In favor of making it 6
o'clock. That will give the business
men and clerks chance to go home
at supper time and sit down for an
evening like ordinary folks do. At
this time of year when there is but
little doing, it seems foolish to keep
lights burning for nothing"
Within the past week number
have spoken to the Messenger about
early closing but as yet there has
been no arrangement made for
a general adoption of the custom
Birch Run, Dawson and Otisville
business houses close at early hour
and a number of other villages are
following 1uit.

Oakland contains the bodies OF
many of the leading families OF
Shreveport and more than twenty
graves were torn up and tombstones

Walchansky is a young man of good
family. Recently he is said TO have

One morning he visited the ceme-

on a grave. expecting, he explained.
to die peacefully and have the Saviour
resurrect him.
Death did not arrive as per ex

chansky rose and began his work OF
destruction.
He tore down headstones, and when
the police arrived they found score
of these scattered over the walks and
in the pathways.

He had plastered his touched-up
hair down over his bald spot. and he
had assumed the sort OF smile that
his female friends called childish"

VALUE OF PROPER SPELLING
Attribute Highly Valued In CONNER
cial Life, and is a Sense to
Be Developed.

Good spelling and intelligent pune
tuation are the accomplishments that
keep many gray-haired women draw
ing good salaries as stenographers In
downtown offices. The manager of
typewriting office from which are sent
hundreds of stenographers makes no
secret of the fact that good spoilers
are scarce
'We had a customer come in the
other day" said the manager, "who
had evidently had a run of hard luck
in the spelling line. He wanted a
woman who could spell No matter
if she's cross-eyed and has a hVnch
on her back, he said, If she can Spell
and write an intelligent letter While
this was rather extreme case it
shows that employers are beginning
to grow impatient over the careless
spelling OF today
Another Office sending out many ste
nographers has a series OF test letters
prepared especially with. spelling
catches for the unwary. Common
words, famous as pitfalls for careless
spoilers, are stremh throughout these
specimen letters. Fully. hah tha APP
plicants put All extra e in separate;
in many cases the before the last
syllable In noticeable is missing, while
the correct placing OF the rs in the
word parallel reduces many of the
applicants to state of discourage
ment.
Good spelling is pretty sure sign
Of mental alertness," said a business
man with several offices and many
stenographers. IL find that if one of
our stenographers is naturally a good
speller she is interested in the cor
rect spelling and nse of new words
NAT come to her attention in reading
or in dictation. Now as a matter or
fact it is no small job to keep up with
the spelling of the hundreds of new
words
Our oldest stenographer and our
best speller keeps on her desk a lit
tie book not more than an inch thick.
but it has more first aids to poor spell
ers than anything I've ever seen. She
doesn't use il much, but everybody
else does.'-Chicago Record-Herald
