year meant as much as $4,000 does

II recall wildly one incident which
was of the greatest value to myself
and TO my fellow-c clerks One winter
morning the clerks found very little
to do. They were lolling about when
Mr., Beebe came in---I think about 10
o'clock. He took in the situation at a
single glance. He said nothing, but
began to go down the aisles, and,
thrusting his elbows against the piles
OF dry goods, completely dsarranged
them, knocking them helter-skelter.
when he got to the end of the
store he called the clerks. saying that
he had something to say to them,
and he said it emphatically. These
were almost his precise words: Never
let any one see you unless you are
busy. 1t does great harm to store
to see clerks idling around, even if
there is really nothing to do. Find
something to do. Slick up the store.
Make people who come in think that
you are very busy. Bustle about. 1t
is always good for a store to have the
appearance of being in a state of
great hustle. 1t may all be sham, but
it isn't sham when you remember that
1t makes a good impression upon the
customers. Men who want to buy
something always like to see clerks
in a store busily occupied. Idle
clerks drive away customers, even
though there may be little or
nothing to do. Keep up a pretense
of always having plenty to do, and
your store will get the reputation
of doing a big business
"There wasn't one of the clerks
who didn't take that lesson to heart
Il = 4
best lessons ever taught me when l
was in my apprentice days in bust
ness"

FINANCING A HUDSON RIVER BRIDGE.

1t will be long time indeed before the county of
Essex will agree to the plan of financing Hudson
river bridge tunnel which is proposed in So
signed by the governor. The proposition that the
of the bridge shall be assessed according to the
amount of ratables is utterly preposterous Two

Cambridge by horseback. but those
who Will now march after him-1S9
years after-will use the automobile
The trip will be marked by patriotic
observances all along the way, and
escorts of historic military organiza-
tons are promised the marchers. The
famous Philadelphia City Troop will
go to the Connecticut line, where the
Governors Foot Guard will receive
the committee. In Massachusetts,, the
Worcester Contlnentals and the Lex
ington Minute Men will perform the
same gracious duty. The Ancient and
Honorable Artillery Company and
other organizations in and around
Boston will probably fight at appro-
pirate stages.
The committee, their military escort
/ and volunteer pilgrims, who are ex-
pected to join the march in great
numbers, will arrive in Cambridge on
July 2. as Washington did. They
will not need TO leave Philadelphia,

Englishman Sends Huerta 81. 600 as Re
venge on u. =.


WASHINGTON, April 1S.-An cid
erly Englishman, fashionably dressed,
who purchased a draft for 81 900,
made payable to Victoriana Huerta,
provisional president of Mexico, at a
Washington national bank, told the
clerk who attended to him that no
had been treated so badly in the
United States that he wished to
retallate by helping Huertas cause
Yesterday a man who said he was
connected with the Mexican embassy
called at the bank and exhibited the
draft with request to know if it
was genuine. The clerk told him that
1t was. Evidently the elderly Eng
lishman had made good his threat to
help Huerta.
The Englishman told the bank
clerk that he had been grossly in
suited by customs officers in New
York when he arrived there recently
with his daughter, and he was thor
oughly disgusted with this country.
The customs officers, he said, had re-
moved aigrettes from his daughters

Man and Wife Ten Years Though Neither
Knew 1t.


JERSEY CITY, April 1S.-The girl
hood romance of Lillian D. Post,
daughter of wealthy business man,
of this city, who lived for ten years
a block away from her husband with
out knowing she was his wife, Gull
minated in the New York Supreme
Court yesterday, when Justice Blur
annulled the marriage.
The young woman, now living at
151 Central Park west, Manhattan,
and George Lester Larry, an insurance
broker, had believed all along they
were merely betrothed. According to
the testimony. Miss Post and Larry
were in love as children. He pro-
posed marriage, but she asked him
to wait. Larry was stricken with
typhoid fever in 1903 At his request
she went to the home of the late Rev
Richard Hartley, 233 West One Hun
dred and Fourth street, where they
went through the marriage ceremony
which she though was only formal
betrothal.
Larry did not oppose the annul-
ment.

The hold which baseball has upon

Uncle Sam himself, and embodies in
it's psychology love of fair play.

opment and improvement from a
much less intricate game, baseball to-

shows how worldwide is its appeal.
1t is true professional baseball is
an exhibition, not a sport; its patrons
are spectators, not participants. But
professional baseball is but q single
phase of the game. 1t requires an
army of players, and these players
must come up from the ranks, from
the sandlots and Fairgrounds, from

1t stimulates amateur baseball and
