PROMOTION BASED ON THRIFT
Employee Who Has Not Saved
Part Of His Salary.

Extravaganza and lack of thrift are
at the bottom of practically every
breach of trust committed by trusted
employees and officials. In certain
international bank, known all over the
world, rule established by one of its
shrewd founders is rigidly, though al
most secretly, enforced. Every young
man who enters its service is closely
watched. He must not only bear him
save part of his salary. He is not
urged or even advised to do so. 1t is
left to himself. If he makes no pro-
vision for the future he never occu-
pies position Of trust, handles money,
securities or negotiable paper, or is au-
thorized to sign bank obligations Of
any character.
An employee Of this bank once sta
toned in New York city who spoke
several languages and displayed great
ability found out while here the ex-
istence of this secret rule when he ap-
piled for vacancy which he was in
every way capable of filling. He was
told in the kindest way that advance
ment along that line was not for him
because they know that he had not
saved a dollar in the % years Of his
service. The principle underlying this
rule is that the man who cannot take
care of his own money is tempera-
mentally unfit to take care of other
peoples. Experience has taught more
than one great financial institution
that the man who lays up a compe-
tence for himself will not risk disgrace
and ruin by stealing from those who
trust him.-New York Commercial.

No Feed for Game.

Lord Davenport, the British food
controller, in an interview at which
he announced a number of new regu-
lations, observed, with regard to the
order prohibiting the feeding of game
with grain required for food or stock
rearing: "Pheasant rearing and indul-
gences of that kind, which were all
right in happier days, are indulgences

TOMATO FIGS

Use small pear shaped yellow toma,
koes and pour boiling water over them
for few minutes. Drain the tomatoes
and drop them into very cold water,
then peel them. Put them into crock
with an equal weight Of sugar and let
stand in cool place for two days.
Pour off the sirup and boil it 10 or 10
minutes, skimmfng till it is clear. Pour
the sirup over the tomatoes and Il.
stand as before. Drain off the sirun
and boil once more, then pour it back
over the tomatoes, let them stand two
days, then drain off the sirup and spread
the tomatoes on shallow plates and set
them in the sun to dry. They must be
protected from flies. Bring them into
the house at night. It takes them about
a week to dry thoroughly. Pack in
small wooden boxes with fine sugar
between the layers and oiled paper on
top. t nW

Soldiers Little Joke,

The Paris police authorities have
decided in the future to arrest all SOL
diers on leave who perpetrate the
hoax that they are carrying danger
Gus hand grenades or other high ex-
plosives in the underground railways
or tram cars, thus soaring other pas
sengers to get out.
1t has been common practice for
soldiers weighted down with steel
helmet. knapsack, blanket roll and
canteen to squeeze into n crowded
car and then warn the other passen.
gers:
Don't jostle or crowd me or my gre
nades may blow up"
This usually caused many fellow
passengers to leave the car at the next
station. thus giving the soldiers plenty
Of room and seats.

Be it understood In passing that this
Afro-American member of the district

$25 type Of oratory is his best, the

Repartee OF 4 Bishop.

A good story of Canon Adderley
concerns Wilberforce, Bishop of Ok
ford, whose official designation was
Samuel Oxon," made up of his bap-
tismal name, followed by the Latin
name for his see.
Wilberforce was one day addressing
meeting-writes Mr.. Adderley-and
suppose he coughed or cleared his
throat in the midst Of his speech.
"Try Thorley's food for CATTLE" said
voice.
''Thank you," said the bishop, 'it
may be good for asses, for it does
not suit Samuel Oxon."
On another occasion his audience
hissed. Said Wilberforce, Remember.
gentlemen, that is not an excessively
human utterance."

WHEN HE FOUND HIS TONGUE
Recruit Took Wind Out of Pompous
Surgeons Sails When He Re-
covered His Wits.

A very pompous army surgeon was
sent to recruiting depot in the high
lands to examine batch of lads who
had taken the kings shilling. The abb
rupt, overbearing manner of the doc
tor so frightened one nervous recruit
that he was unable to answer the first
question as to his name and place Of
birth.
"Why don't you answer?" roared
the doctor. "What's your name, 1
say?"
Still the panic-stricken lad could
only stare open-mouthed at his Ques-
toner, who exclaimed:
"Why, I believe the fellows stone
deaf" And, taking his watch from
his pocket, he held it to the left ear
Of the recruit, saying: "Can you hear
that ticking?"
The youth shook his head. The
watch was applied to the other ear
with the same effect, and then the
doctor opened the walls Of his indig-
nation on the head Of the would-be
soldier.
"Hdl w you mean pJ ehAeuhS
when you are stone deaf? Why, you
can't even hear the ticking of watch
when it Is held within an inch of the
drum of your earl"
And then the worm turned.
"She's no gaun," said the recruit,
finding his tongue at last.
And when the doctor holding the
watch to his own ear found that 1t
had indeed stopped, his feelings were
too powerful to be expressed in words,
extensive though his vocabulary ordi-
narily waS.-Glasgow Weekly Herald.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Thirst is more quickly relieved by
drinking slowly than by swallowing
large quantities rapidly.
Oeer-ripe fruit makes cloudy jelly
and does not jell so easily as fruit
slightly green. ...... ....
As a rule, three fourths cup sugar to
cup of juice makes an ideal jelly.
Half cup of sugar would make sour,
tough jelly good for serving with
meats, and cup of sugar would make
more jelly, but it would not be firm
enough to stand alone.
When celery is not in season, finely
chopped cabbage generously sprinkled
with celery seed will make a good sub
stitute in salads. ..... ...... I-. .
If using sour milk to brighten and
polish tinware, it will do better work
if hot.
If the different tacks, ETC., for house
use are kept in small glass jars or bot
ties it will be much easier to find just
what you want than if boxes have to be
opened.
If we look for them, we can find de-
fects in everything and everyone around
us-but shall we do thiss lp s,7er .
If heat for pain is wanted quickly,
day or night, burn a newspaper in the
range, slip the heated stove lid in a
paper sack, then wrap in cloth If the
feel of the paper is disagreeable.
Glycerine is the best thing for re-
moving peach, coffee and tea stains
When postage stamps stick together,
put under thin paper, pass . hot iron
over them and separate quickly Git

DENVER LETTER

''hNCij mug. 1hC tiSt'i
League of North Dakota, an alleged
farmers union, has organizers in Colo
rado for the purpose of forming a sim
lar organization in this safe. While
the activities of these organizers have
been confined to limited territory, as
soon as the Shafroth machine can raise
little more money, other organizers
will be hired and put to work. Gen
orally, it is said, the little scheme IS
not working very well. The farmers
see in it some movement that is not
for their welfare and point to the fact
that the organizers are not farmers by
birth, breeding, intelligence, inclination
or aspiration. On the contrary, so say
these farmers, they are merely paid or
ganizeIs who would be seeking to un-
ionize well diggers or the chorus girls,
if by so doing they could help some
willy politician put over a scheme. AS
a matter of fact "honestjohn is not
getting far with this game.
The general belief here is there will
be a break in the Democratic party
such as was seen when Carlson was
elected The conservative element of
the Democratic party will try to force
the denomination of Gunter while the
radical element will have some other
candidate, presumably Leslie Hubbard,
who has had his lightning rod in the
aid ever since he secured enough votes
to be called attorney general. The Re-
publicans are not saying much. in
northern Colorado the name of DR..
Lory, president of the Fort Collins agri-
cultural college, is mentioned while in
the upper Arkansas valley the name of
Senator Candlsh of Leadville is men
toned Both are high class men.
Candlish is the man who made the foo
trust run to cover during the recent
session of the legislature.
Colorado is commencing to get little
taste of l. W. W.ism. Over on the
western slope the honest people have
been forced to deport few of this
hand because they were threatening to
destrcp the crops. In northern Colo
rado they have burned few grain
stacks and injured some farm machin-
cry. A few "orators' have appeared
on the streets of Denver. They claim
to be after the capitalists, but just now
are confining their destruction to the
farmers whom they put in the capital
istic class.
Speaking of the /. W. W., no sooner
had word gone forth that Colorado 3
militia would 90 into federal service
on the 5th of August, and that the
radical faction of the Democrats were
strong enough to prevent the passage
of any measure that would give the
governor capable state police force,
than the I. w. w. gang started toward
Colorado. The insurging element in
Democratic party, however, did not pre-
vent the passage of the constabulary
bill, thanks to the Republicans, and the
|. W. w. and their sympathizers who
are yelling this law is aimed at "labor' -
are liable to find Colorado to be a
warm place for any rough stuff.
