VIC, MODEL DOG,
KIDNAPPED ON DUTY

vic" has been stolen from in front
of his home, the music shop of Ansell,
Bishop and Turner's, on f street, and
the company has offered a reward for
his return.
1t seems 'evic," who has been dub
bed the personificstion of canine ex-
pectancy, was sitting outside the
shop, content to stay where he
was put, and listen to his masters
voice. floting out to the street from
the interior of the music shop. Some
desperate, watching Vic with the
jealous eye of/hopeful ownership,
awaited his chance and when tie
opportunity presented, seized "Yic"
and hurried away with him.
In reporting their loss, his owners
state that "Vic" always had a good
home provided for him and seemed
to appreciate the treatment given
him. He was never known TO bark
or howl-never cared to eat-never
wandered about the shop getting in
the way of customers-never snap
ped at anybody. He was content to
stay in front of the shop waiting for
his masters voice all day long, and
at night, when placed inside. would
sit during the long still hours, his
| head a bit to one side, listening in
tently for the voice he never heard.
1t is rumored that Vic" is being
held for ransom, and the music shop
owners viii give reward for his
return. The kidnapping theory is
held because only the day before he
/ was stolen, "yic" was put through a
long series of questioning. He was
asked IL he wished for anything, IL
he lacked anything, IL he had word
of complaint.
"yic" answered mot a word"
For you see he's only a plaster OF
Paris dog after all.

Tell By Suggestion.
In Washington Irving high school,
a demonstration of various types of
clothing is held periodically. BY sug-
gestion the girls are told what to
wear and what not to wear, and one
of the things they are told not to wear
is rouge and powder to excess.
In Morris high school, among the
older girls, use of rouge and powder
is fairly widespread. Drastic methods
are sometimes taken, such as vigor-
Gus application OF soap and water or
sending a girl home now and then.
New York college girls seem to go
to the other extreme. Miss Boyd, sec
rotary of Students Hall, Barnard Col

Not At Barnard.
Our girls. If anything, go to the
other extreme of being sloppy, under
careful rather than over careful of
their appearance. They think nothing
of wearing middies to teas"

physical education department of
Hunter College, said:

The Firm Behind
The Sales Agent

/ The story of " and E. is an int.
esting one Not long after the Civil
/ War, Philip H. Yawman and Gustav
! Erbe were brought together in great
J optical company of Rochester. Mr.
Erbe had charge of the department
/ making microscopes post where
| the utmost skill and probity were
, demanded. Mr. Yawman was master
engineer, intrusted with improving,
designing and inventing new maehin-
cry and methods, and with devising
ways of producing work in less time
and at less cost and with better re-
suits.
In 1880, they decided to enter bust
ness for themselves. Their capital
was small but the purpose was great
From the outset their creed that sue
cess is only possible by adhering to
quality and dealing squarely has been
strictly held to; and though at times
the going was hard, the wisdom of the
policy has been fully justified. In
1887, they were forced into bank
ruptcy, through the failure of heavy
debtor The blow seemed staggering,
but they quickly recovered and paid
100 cents on the dollar plus interest,
to every creditor, although their debts
had all been legally cancelled. There
after the business grew by leaps and
bounds and to-day there is no firm in
the United States with better stand
ing among business men or higher
reputation for quality and fair deal
ing than Yawman and Erbe.
In 1888, they began to manufacture
the only Shannon Files made in the
United States. This file was the fore
runner of all modern filing systems
and remains to-day the most satisfac-
tory kind of file for many kinds of
businesses,
From this small beginning there has
been reared a great organization, with
many branches in the United States
and Canada and with exclusive agen-
cies throughout the world. There are
now three big plants, two in Roches
ter and one in Canada, besides print
ing plant in San Francisco, rated as
turning our more filing cabinets and
supplies for office systems than any
other firm in the world. The "Y and
