Don't Shut Yourself Up In an Office.

DON'T Shut YourseIf Up In an Office.
The man who shuts himself up in an
Office makes a great mistake, thinks
Thomas e. Wilson, the Chicago packer.
In the American Magazine he says:
THE trouble with the executive who
is too inaccessible is that he loses more
by the arrangement than anybody else.
In shutting others out he shuts him
self in-away from the numerous ad-
vantages Of personal contact and points
Of view. There's nothing like looking
a man in the eye and hearing his story
to get at the meat Of a situation. Most
executives prefer to have everything
brought to their attention In writing.
That plan may be time saver, but my
own experience has been that it will
pay to get all information possible by
face to face interviews"

A little old man came into the Office

were alive picked out a shawl for
an aunt of mine. She's dead and so
didn't buy 1t, but put down the
amount of money 1 would have spent.
Then I went and got some things for
my dead brother and for my father
and mother and for a few old friends
of mine. l didn't really get them, you
know. but I priced the things thought
they would like. When l added up all
the money would have spent it came
to almost $3.50, so added little to it.,

Has any one heard of a finer, more
beautiful way of showing a mans
love for his dead? The things he had

THE PLATE ON THE MUMMY.
Curious Story Of Prophecy That Was
Fulfilled.

Visitors at museums often comment
on the sadness of the present state OF
the Egyptian mummies who were
buried with such great care in hope
that their rest might never be disturb
ed. But such thoughts never enter the
minds of natives who pillage their an
cestors' graves, nor do they disturb the
more civilized explorer. To a supersti-
tious person, however, a story of a
mummy that r. Cation WoOdville tells
in Random RecollecttOns" might have
a sinister meaning.
After the i'll fated expedition to re-
lieve Gordon, Walter Ingram brought
to London the mummy Of an Egyptian
high priest that he had bought from an
Arab near Assuan. When he unrolled
the mummy he found on its chest a
gold plate, upon which was inscribed:
He who disturbs my rest and takes
me to distant land shall die violent
death. His bones shall neer be found.
They shall be scattered to the four
points of the world"
Shortly afterWard Ingram went to
SOmaliland on a big game expedition.
He had four bore rife and when in
the elephant region got two good tuSk-
ers. So he lent his rife to one Of his
companions, who had not so heavy a
weapon, to give him a better chance of
bagging an elephant. He himself
mounted a pony and went of with
three SOmalis, armed with .45O eX-
press, which shoots bullets of only 26O
grains, to bag an antelope or perhaps a
panther
AS luck would have 1t, Ingram came
upon a fine old rogue elephant with q
| magnificent pair of tusks. 1t was too
great a temptation to be resisted Gal
Looping up to the elephant, the hunter
fired both barrels at the beasts fore,
head from about fifteen yards. The
bullets dattened upon the animals
| skull and only made him very angry
Ingram gallOped out Of reach and re,
loaded, rode up and fired again. with q
similar result; again galloped away and
| reloaded, and so on until he had eX-
pended all Of the cartridges.
AS he was gallOping away after his
last shot, with the furious brute in pur
suit, his pony suddenly stopped stock
still, apparently for no reason what
ever. The elephant Numbered up
whisked the hunter out of the saddle
dashed him to the ground and tram
pied him to death. The tragedy occur
red in the bed Of dry nullah and was
witnessed by the three Somalis, who
! had climbed for safety to the tops o.
trees They were armed only witt
spears, which, Of course, were useless
weapons against the elephant. Aftel
the brute had gone they climbed down
dug hole with their spears, placed the
body Of poor Ingram in it and returned
to camp with their sad story.
Some time afterward Mrs. Ingram
the hunters mother, sent out an expe
dition to find and bring back to Eng
land the remains of her son. The spo
was found, but two rainy seasons ha(
passed, and the dry nullah had become
a roaring river that had washed ava!
the remains to the four points Of TIT

with using government secrets for
swindling purposes.
There is some evidence which tends
TO substantiate the claim of Thomas
w. Lawson that a few individuals

lars by receiving information just a
few hours In advance Of the public.
There Is also some evidence in the
news items already published which
shows the covered hand OF some pow.
erful influence that is straining every
nerve to resist the attempt TO throw
light on the subject.
The people of the country have n
right to know the truth about the mat.

the fullest investigation possible in
order that there be no doubt left in the
public mind. If the administration and
Congress wish to pursue a wise course
they will see that such an investiga

prove unwise, from psychological
standpoint, TO permit the public mind
to become and remain imbued with dis
trust toward and functional agency of

the way of manhood. He created a
