THE OTHER FELLOW"

Ninety-nine and nine-tenths ger cent
OF failures, men Of the never-get-there
CLASS, Intentionally or Internationally
forget themselves and think about
the other fellow"
II the other fellow IL promoted,
they are jealous. feel that their EN-.
pioyer has disseminated uE fairly. and
that favoritism or luck is responsible
Tor the good things which he has re-
ceived.
IL they make mistake, instead OF
attempting to learn better, they hrnt
up the mistakes the other fellow" has
made and excuse themselves Lecause
he has Numbered.
Many young man, who has not
been promoted or received raise OF
salary, instead OF analysing himself,
goes to his employer and says, You
raised Smiths salary, think mine
ought to be raised too"
The employer naturally ASKS him
what Smith has got to do with II.
Smith had his salary raised because
he deserved 1t. Yet q proportion of
mon, who ought to know better, use
this feeble and unbusinesslike argu.
ment. forgetting that 1t IL up to-
them, not up to" "the other fellow"
that 1t Is all important to them what
they do to themselves, and Of less
consequences what happens to ~the
other fellow"
Don't envy ''the other fellow" be
friendly with him and exchange ex-
periences with him. congratulate him
when he Is promoted; learn of him. II
he is a good teacher. His promotion.
even II you do not receive a like one,
Is an indication that the firm for
which you work is prepared to do by
you as 1t has done by him as soon
as you are worthy. The advancement
or the other fellow" should incite you
to greater effort. Instead OF stirring
up jealousy, let 1t make you say:
Good for the other fellow" II he has
been promoted. Your turn will come
next, II you deliver the goods"
Don't harbor the delusion that your
employer does not want to pay you
more money. Unless he is an excep-
ton, he regards you as part of his
business plant. 1t is policy for Kim
to use you to his advantage, and he
cannot do this unless 1t is to your
advantage also. He would rather pay
you $40 week than $40, If you are
worth 1t and the business will war.

Snakes Fioht to the Death.

One of the jungle secrets Is the
cause of deadly enmity that exists be-
tween the "tomiga" and the black
snake. O. e Malsbury, engineer in
charge of land surveys at Panama, de-
scribes fight he saw between two of
these. While cutting trench along
the edge of swamp his machete men
ran across tonga" whose head was
sticking out of pile of leaves One Of
the men cut the head off and pulled
the body out to see why the snake
had not made an effort to get away.
Half way down the body was black
snake coiled and biting savagely.
The blacksnake was driven off. but re.
manned near and twice came into the
open and bit savagely at the dead
tonga"
Owing to its peculiar actions no eff
fort was made to kill the blacksnake
but the men continued their cutting
for an hour or so longer. Then they
returned to the spot and found the
body of the "tomiga" enfold4d by
that of the blacksnake, which also was
dead II had been bitten coout mid
way between head and tail and its
body was swollen. 1t was concluded
that the tonga" had started the fight
by biting the blacksnake, which got
hold of its enemy before it could coil
again for anothe- attack.

Roll for Doilies of Cretonne

A dolly roll makes pretty gift
for the housewife and is useful to her
in more ways than one. 1t keeps her
doilies fresh and easy to get at. Moth.
ing is easier to make, and very few
equally pretty gifts cost SO little.
The rolls are usually made in two
lengths, one for centerpieces and
one for doilies. To make one a
strong pasteboard tube. such as
used for mailing is procured. Circular
pieces of cretonne are stretched over
the ends and pasted down on the
roll.
A strip of the cretonne as wide
as the tube is long is then cut off of
any length desired. One end of this
strip is trimmed In a curve and the
other left straight. The curved end
and sides of the strip are bound with
tape.
The straight end is pasted to the
roll, the cretonne wound once about
1t and. sewed down to form a casing
for it, Ribbon ends are sewed to the
curved end of cretonne to form ties
for fastening it when the doilies have
been rolled.
The cretonne used to make the roll
shown in the picture is striped pat
tern with small flowers scattered over
the surface. Dark backgrounds with
gay flowers make rolls that do not
soil easily. The ribbon used should
match the flowers or foliage In ths
pattern.

Child's Narrow Escape

an incident such as that which w. F
Boyer. lighthouse engineer, witnessed
on the Sirio river near Panama. The
river had been swollen by the firsl
heavy rains and at it's junction With
the Trinidad was very swift. Five
men and child came down to the
ford at Largatera and prepared to
get into cayuco for crossing. The
river looked so treacherous. however.
that they decided to make the cross
ing in parties of three.
One man, the child. a boy of four
years, and the paddle man got into
the canoe and put off. The first eddy

and while the snake was trying to
pull itself through the man on the
bank ran up and killed 1t. Two
bright welts around the body of the
child are the only injury he sustained.

THE SOCIAL LIFE OF BUSINESS.

Business. while often hard and ever
cruel, does not refuse to consider the
human side of life.
Thousands of captains of industries
and merchant princes recognize the
needs of man as vsi as those OF
trade, and encourage many forms OF
social intercourse among their en-.
poyes, including the establishment OF
Libraries, reading rooms, gymnasiums,
and the organization of athletic and
other societies.
Exhaustive experiment has shown
that healthy social life can be added
to business without detriment to finan-
cial profit, and that the more en-
ployees get trgether, play together as
we'll as work together, the more eff
cient they ass likely to be.
Workers of the same grade natural
ly have much In common, and there Ia
no reason why they should not enjoy
one another's company in business
and out of 1t, why they should not
have common business interest and
social mountaineering and friend
ship.
or course, business must be at
tended to, and any social life which
interfe1es with the conduct of bust
ness cannot very well be tolerated. but
there are forms of sociability which
the well-regulated store or factory
should recognize, and many of them
do.
Fellow employees should be friends
as we'll as business associates. They
should enjoy one another's company
at work as well as out of hours.
A hearty Good morning." an ex-
change of smiles, pleasant joke, a
kind word, even during the heat of
business, helps to bring the strenu-

Something new in luncheon sets is
made of stiff white silk muslin, very
small gilt cord and white and green
water color paints. 1t consists of a
centerpiece and twelve doilies to
match and is made in a conventional
lied chrysanthemum design. The
doilies are small replicas of the CEN
terpiece
large circle is cut from the mus
lin for the centerpiece and a few
French knots, of dark yellow embroid-
cry silk, are worked in the center to
represent the stamens. Three rows OF
petals are outlined on the centerpiece
with white paint and the tiny gilt
cord is sewed with yellow silk thread
along the outline of each petal. The
petals are crowded a little at one side
TO allow three light green leaves to

brushed in at the point of each petal
and the muslin about the edge trimmed
away from them.
The doilies are made In the same
way but on a smaller scale.

MAY START TENNS
TOURNAMENT MONDAY
Reservoir House Committee to
Plan City Championship Matches
at Meeting Tonight

Harrisburg's annual tennis cham
pionship tournament will likely begin
Monday, July IL, although the date
will be definitely fixed at a meeting of
the Reservoir house committee this
evening at the offices of Park Commits
sioner M. Harvey Taylor.
Contrary to the usual custom, the
arrangements for the championship
matches will be made by the commit
tee which Mr.. Taylor appointed at the
opening of the season to look after the
affairs of the new clubhouse and the
courts, instead of by a special COM
mittee of the players.
The time for beginning the tourna-
ment this year has caused considerable
discussion among the players. as many
of them have argued for a late sum-
mer start in order to include the ma
1ority of the folks who use the courts
because they will have returned from
vacation trips. Others, however, want
the matches decided as early in July as
possible so as not to interfere with
their vacations. Inasmuch as the ma
iority appear to prefer the earlier date,
the committee will try to arrange the
start for Monday, July IL.
Plans for opening entry lists and for
She drawings will be decided on to-
night, although If 1t is decided that
Monday of next week is a trifle too
early to begin play, the opening of the
tournament may be delayed until the
following Saturday or Monday.
