JEREMIAH SYKES was a clerk in

JEREMIAH SYKES was a clerk In
In a small store In the last till
he had by saving accumulated
some capital; then he went out
to Colorado to become a merchant on
his W account. This was years ago.
Sykes store was located at a cross
roads In a mining district In the far
west, and the proprietor did a thriv-
ing business, supplying the wants of
miners I'm a circuit of fifteen miles. He
did all his work himself because he
couldn't hire a clerk for. less than 500
a month. and that would eat up a good
share Of his profits.
One day a man came into the store
to buy some goods. and after settling
the bill asked Sykes how he managed
to handle SO much business alcne.
Sykes told him that he should have Il
helper and why he didn't get one. The
nan suggested that he could hire a
woman cheap enough. and after some
conversation said he knew a woman
who would be glad to work for what
ever Sykes thought he could afford to
pay. The merchant told him to send
her along md he would see about 1t.
A few days after that a young wo-
man appeared at the store. and Sykes
hired her for a very small salary. He
soon learned that she was as valuable
to him as a man, but he did not raise
her salary. Moreover. he tested her
honesty by leaving cash where she
could take it without being discovered.
but she called his attention to 1t, at
the same time remarking on his care
lessness.
At this time a desperate called Sim
mons was doing a good deal of dam
age in the ~neighborhood and Sykes
thought it would be better for him to
hire a man instead of a woman, since
he might need help IL Simmons came
down on him. He mentioned the mat
ter to his clerk and she said that she
could use q revolver as well as q man.
and If anything happened she would
prove it. Sykes was persuaded and
kept her in her position. but he didn't
pay her a mans wages.
Sykes clerk became so useful to him
that he gradually left one duty after
another to her that he had always con-
sidered he must attend to himself, and
finally he turned owe to her his book
keeping. Notwithstanding the evidence
he had of her honesty. he couldn't
bring himself to confide his cash to
her. When n robber band dashed into
a bank or a store they threatened to
kill whoever knew the safe combina-
ton unless it were given up. Sykes
argued that II he alone could open the
safe there would be less likelihood of
loss than If another possessed it. espe-
c:clly if that other was q woman. He
gave this to his clerk as an excuse for
not e%ntrusting her with the combina-
ton. and she admitted that it was a
very wise precaution.

Frills and Fancies In Woman's Sphere
TAKE CARE OF HAIR.
BE Careful Not to Tear Scalp or Split
Hair, but Stimulate by Massage.


Few women take proper care of their
hair. They believe that IL they give 1t
a brushing at night and wash it every
two or three weeks they are doing all
that Is needed.
Under normal conditions the proper
care of the hair is very simple. The
objects to be kept in mind are to pre-
serve its natural luster and texture by
means of absolute cleanliness and to
massage the scalp sufficiently to re-
any dandruf that may adhere to
1t n thereby promote the active cir
culation of the blood. All this must
be done without injury to the scalp or
the hair by pulling, scratching or tear
ing. Cutting the hair frequently has
a tendency. especially in youth. to
thicken the individual hairs and pro-
mote their growth. Neither this nor
any other known process. however.
tends to increase the actual number Of
hairs. All claims to the contrary are
the pretensions of charlatans.
Professional hairdressers do not ad-
vocate shampooing the hair oftener
than nee n month. A thorough
brushing once or twice n week is re-
garded by them as sufficient for clean
Illness and as much more beneficial to
the hair and scalp.
Much contradictory advice has been
given on the subject of brushing the
hair. some persons saying that stiff
brushes should be used and the scalp
and hair brushed by means Of them
with a good deal Of vigor, others rec
ommending soft brushes and a very
moderate amount Of friction. These
differences are probably due to differ
ent views Of the objects to be attained
by brushing. One object is to promote
the health of the scalp and hence to
give strength and vigor to the hair.
For this purpose brushes with hard.
stiff bristles may be used with consid-
cradle vigor provided the skin Is not
injured. The other object is to smooth
the hair and free il from dust. For
this purpose brushes may be soft and
used with a very moderate pressure.
Care should be taken OH the one
hand not to scratch the scalp, tear the
roots of the hair or cause ii to split,
and on the other not to neglect the
stimulating effects of massaging the
scalp and removing dandruff.

TURKISH SPY SYSTEM.
II Not Only Keeps Tab Upon Strangers,
but Spies Upon itself.

II Not Only Keeps Tab Upon Strangers,
but Spies Upon Itself.
Turkey boasts of more spies to the
square mile than any other country,
as any n who has been to Turkey
will agree.
The peculiar thing about these spies
is that they themselves cannot be
trusted, so that a regular chain OF
spies is the result. There are spies to
spy upon the spies.
The government officials have theii
own spies to watch other people. but
even the great authorities themselves
are already being spied upon.
What is more, the method of spying
is quite open. for the spies will stand
by wherever two or three foreigners
are gathered together and listen to the
conversation. Visitors to Turkey natu,
rally get worried owe such attentions,
especially when it might be their bad
luck to be followed about for weeks or
months.
1t Is the 'uninitiated" visitor who
usually receives the most attention,
since he or she will carry on CONVEX
sation in n quiet undertone. The per-
son who knows Turkey e In a
loud tone for all and sundry-the spies
especially-to hear that he is only IN
gagged In pleasure or legitimate bust
ness, and the wise man leaves the topic
of politics severely alone. = London

Plan National Missionary Campaign.
About 10000 churches are to be In
vited to send delegates TO the conven-
tons Of the national missionary cam
paign. to be held In seventy-1ve Of the
leading cities Of the United States BE-
ginning In october.
All the important missionary boards
and societies Of the country, including
those carrying on home missionary
work as well as the foreign mission or
CARNATIONS. are cooperating In the
campaign which Is being organised BY
the interdenominational laymen's mis-
sionary movement Of New York city.
The attendance Of registered dele
gates at the conventions Is expected
to exceed 10000 men, and the mis-
sionary agencies believe the campaign
will give a new impetus to all forms
Of mission work. Many of the best
known business and professional men
In the country are members Of conven.
ton committees and viii be delegates.
While men only will be allowed to reg.
lister as delegates, women as well az
men may attend as visitors.
There are to be conventions in thir.
ty-seven states, and the campaign will
eliminate in a national missionary con-
gress in Washington in April. 1915.
Each convention will last two to three
days. and during next autumn. winter
and spring two and three conventions
win frequently be going on simultane.
ously In different statesess ssse4
The convention programs will in
clude addresses on and discussions Of
all branches Of Christian work abroad.
the problems Of the home missions,
with probably speeches on the effect Of
the war on mission work by mission
aries who have been recalled from for
eign lands. Recent missionary prog
ress. new conditions. present needs and
Americas responsibility are among the
general topics which will go on the
convention programs.
The main objects Of the campaign
as announced by the laymen's mission
airy movement are:
To consider new world conditions and
Americas enlarged responsibility.
To study the missionary progress Of re-
cent years. 81 Ga
To project plans looking toward the ac-
complishment OF our whole missionary
duty.
To emphasize the adequacy of the Cos
pei to meet modern social conditions.
To increase the spiritual power and EN-.
cheney of the local church.
To secure the general use Of the best
methods of missionary education and
finance.
To inspire laymen to a their part IN
the extension Of the kingdom Of Christ.
In the last six years, since a similar
missionary campaign was carried out,
In 1909-1010, the receipts Of the foreign
missionary organizations increased ST.
S51 900, but the opportunities for the
extension of Christianity In non-Chris-
tian and pagan lands and the demands
for the extension Of Christian work at
home increase so fast that the mission
airy agencies are unable to meet them.

A Geographic Game.

A game which is entertaining as wei
as instructive is played as follows
There may be any number of players
and it will be enjoyed by people OF all
ages. Let the beginner give some geo.
graphical word-the name of a country,
city, river or mountain. The next play
err continues with n name whose first
letter is the last letter of the word
given by the preceding player.
Thus. suppose the first word given
is Albany. the second must begin with
Y. Yucatan, for instance. No. 3 must
give a place whose initial letter is \.
and so ON. When a player fails to have
a name ready he is dropped from the
game. and the one who can play the
longest Is. of course, the winner.
