to find that the entire roof above him
had fallen in except just that portion
oyer his bed.
He told the story TO one of the best
known ladies in Boston. one who is
known for her public spirit her love OF
art and her fautloss manner of enter

Allen TO give her the meteoritc.
"A few days later while out driving a
great truck With two runaway horses
attached to it struck her carriage. In
stinctivel.s she raised her muff to pro-
tect her face. The muE was almost cut
in two, but the lady was not hurt. A
few days later while she was walking
under some scalfolding it fell, and the
open part where the holsts went UP
proved TO be just where she stood AL

A certain man at the head of a
great business concern desired to
employ a young man who was thot.
full, industrious, and watchful.
He wanted a man who knew how
to conserve energy to focus power
to make moments count. A young
man who was not only thotful of
the income but of the expenditures
as we'll.
To find such a person, his test
was the filling of barrel of
water. The bottom of this barrel
had number of holes in it, of
which the young man had no preyi-
GUS knowledge and indeed made no
effort to find out. Early in the
morning, he began to draw water
and worked faithfully until noon,
without filling the barrel. The
employer returned and learning
the result, informed the young man
that he didn't need him longer.
The forum. [volume] (Springfield, Ill.) 1904-192?, 1916-09-30

After testing half dozen young
men, in this way, seventh was
placed on trial and before drawing
one bucketful, he began to invests
gate until every opening in the
barrel was discovered and chinked.
He then in calm business-like
manner began to draw water and
in one hour the barrel filled. 1t
goes without saying that the right
young man had been found. A
young man who not only knew how
to draw water. but how to save it.
A young man who knew how to
find and stop leaks. He was en-
ployed and gradually pose in use
