N,Iu. AZ the Mlid Man,

How about the "old man" and the
apprentice? l have always felt and
contended in my work that the OLD
man." as he Is sl~ightingly referred to,
has a place in industry. His expert
ence Is valuable. He can be used as
trainer and coach. He may not be
fast, but he Is sure. He may, on the
other hand, prove to be both skillful
and rapid on certain work. At any
rate, for the sake, of his past services
don't turn him adrift. If he is too old
and cannot work pension him. If he
can work find out what Is best for
him to do and give him a schedule
with a sufficient allowance added
thereto to justify him in continuing
to do his best. 1t won't cost much, II
anything. The apprentice should also
have an allowance added to his sched-
ule that will warrant him in ~exerting
himself. The apprentice, the average
mechanic and the "old man" will nave
different wage rates, so there is little
likelihood Of a clash on account OF
bonus earnings.-Engineering Maya

Owner Properly Dealt With.

About this time a little more than a
hundred years ago in the history OF
boat building at Pittsburgh and down
river there was much complaint Of un-
scrupulous work, which brought great
loss to owners on account Of the sink
ing of vessels and ruin Of cargoes.
An interesting case was tried before
Justice Richardson Of Pittsburgh,
whose decision was rendered Novem-
Der 7, 1907. A boat owned by MI.
Winchester struck on a rock a few
miles below Pittsburgh, was stove, and
sunk. The owner brought suit against
the master, claiming the disaster was
due to his carelessness. The master
produced a rotten plank that had been
broken by the impact, and claimed
that had it not been for this the &C.
cident would not have happened. The
master was discharged by the justice,
and Winchester had to lose his boat
and several thousand dollars worth OF
merchandise. This and other similar
occurrences led to the appointment OF
inspectors, but not until 1872. .

What Makes a Girl Popular.

Every girl has the perfectly natural
desire to be popular with the other
sex, and every girl is interested in
knowing the secret of such popularity.
Some girls have the idea that the way
to have a good time is to break away
from the recognized rules Of social
life. The free-and-easy, reckless type
Of girl may receive a good deal OF
attention of a certain kind, but 1t ID
safe to say that men do not really
arr for such a girl. Certainly they
do not have any respect for her. They
may enjoy a summer Irritation with
her, but such a girl never enters seri-
ously into their thoughts. The girl
who is kind and thoughtful to her par
ents is the girl whom they admire.
The girl who is disrespectful to her
parents will not long retain the re-
spect of others. Men know very well
that a girl who deceives her mother
cannot be trusted. A good daughter
has in her the making Of a good wife,
and a mar remembers this when he
begins to think seriously Of matrt
mony.-Leslie's.

OrIoIn of a Mark Twain Story.

STlHiV VI d "oIH t"aiH SkSiys
OF all the witty things said on writ
ten by Mark Twain no phrase has
been quoted oftener than his reply to
an alarmist report, "Rumor Of my
death greatly exaggerated" The his
tory of this now celebrated bon mot
will doubtless be Of interest. Mark
Twain was on a visit to London some
years ago, and had been secured as
the chief guest at a dinner to be
given by a literary club. On the
morning of the day when the dinner
was to take place the secretary was
shocked to hear a rumor that Mark
Twain had died suddenly. At his
wits end, he sought to verify it by a
diplomatic note to Mrs. Clemens, in
which he mentioned the rumor.
Mark Twain got hold Of the note and
telegraphed the now famous reply,
"Rumor of my death greatly exag-
gerated." - From After Dinner
Stories" by N. c. Fowler, Jr.

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

a Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes. and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar OF
resinol ointment and a cake Of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer OF the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage. This should be done
twice q day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.-Adv.

tells of a young American trooper who

boy was shot In the right shoulder
