Cheating on the Job

One of the features of this material
istic age and the natural expression of
it is where men accept jobs and then
neglect to attend to them honestly
There is general complaint upon this
score. The usual form of the dishon-
csty comes In putting more time on a
job than is necessary.
This is form OF rank dishonesty.
1t comes IN the shape Of deyotIng
three hours to job that ought not TO
take more than two. 1t is strange how
easily mems hearts become hardened
to all these apparently innocent frauds.
They seem not to care how much
Job costs a man, provided they nre not
the man. Tho indifference to the 9TH
er fellows welfare Is one Of the great
sins of the age. OF which rcputed good
men are about as guilty as the reputcd
bad
One of the highest duties OF mans
life is to see that he doesn't cheat
somebody, but this duty Is almost uni
versally neglected Our Christianity
needs a vigorous brushing up.-Ohio

His Modest Savings

Here is little human interest story
of the power of an undistinguished
mans modest savings.
The story is about Abner, long time
clerk in a cigar store. He grew old,
and his employer thought him too slow.
He was fired. Grief!
Nv hat can we do now, Abner?" asked
his wife when she heard.
Ann" said Abner, you mind oui
savings account
She looked at him stcrnly "Abner,"
she cried in dismay, you won't have
TO draw ON that. I hope"
Not unless YOU say SO, Ann. How
much have VIC got in the bankf'
No idea They had both been putting
in little sums from time to tine and
leaving thc accounting 60 the bank.
Next morning ALncr went to the banl;
to fad out. II was $9i7.G2. Astonish.
Ing. sure It was there the result OF
constant small additions and the nc.
cunulatiOns Of interest Then Abner
proposed his plan.
Before taking out the money Abner
had talk with the vice president Of
tie savings bank, man capable Of
giving good counsel
Have you guessed tina; Abner's plan
was to start little cigar store of his
own? Well, he did, aud soon nearly
all of the old customers of the store
where he formerly clcrked were com.
ing TO him because he understood their
tastes and had "A pleasant word for
them
Il tell you, Ann" Abner said as they
sat talking over the first months prof
its, that savings account put us on
our feet"
To point the moral of this little story
the author quotes from tie late Mar
shall Field:
THE difference between the clerk
who spends all his salary ana the clerk
who saves part of it is the difference
in ten years-between the owner of q
business and the man out OF Job"
Tile Abner Of this story and Andrew
Carnegie followed exactly the same
road TO success. The only difference
was that Abner started later in life
and probably won't so so far-Ncw

While ii may he contended that the picture teaches
moral in that the less famous outlaw is depicted
as reforming, swcryiug from the trail OF crime to the
straight and path o, recttude tho tact remains
that to the mind OF imaginative boy the
moral is almost entirely lost Tie secs the gortcauon o

with him losing sight entirely OF the suggestion that right
clean honest living is the only kind which pays.

The trouble with lot OF banquctS
is that YOU are served 81 menu card

A bachelor may have his troubles.
But one of his wiie's cakey-looking
6lnd cousins cant bring six Or seven
OF her cakcy- looking kids and camp
at his house for two weeks on the
strength OF the relationship.
This is queer world IN which a
young widow is usually whole lot
Older than an old maid
A modern young mans idea Of be
ing up with the early bird is to have
one served abou, a m with a few
cold bottles on the side.
Some marriages take place meroly
because ,hs male end OF the sketcf
figures that it will be cheaper to sc
h,ched and get a divorce than it woulC
be to be sued for breach of promise
Judging from the sturdy looking ex
hibits shown IN connection with th,
knee length skirts, the women folk,
should quit pretending that they hav'
Limbs and admit that they have Legs
Another thing We can't understand
is how the ugly men manage to col
out such good looking wives.
II man hires servant girl for hi
wife, he lmagincs that his wife hasn'
anything to do. But woman vii
work harder boSsing a servant cir
that she wouA il she had the house
work to do herself.
And the man who has to ask his wifi
for 20 cents car fare every mornin,
has no business voting against womel
suffrage,
After all the best way to attract at
tentlon to the fact that YOU arc ball
is to wear toupcc
a man may have good sense abou
other things But II he has no appc
t,te he will keep right on trying t
cat
II takes a smart husband to convinc
his wife that beating rugs is the fines
thing in the world for torpid live
and that the exercise will improve he
complexion and save her lot OF doc
tor bills.
Another of the evils of the Demo
Rum is that a man will get steve
