have greeted Camden as an old friend
or stepped into the rickshaw he had
provided for her. That William sus-

his thoughts. For the oatswain, for
some reason known to himself, had
not repeated his conversation with
william.
Thus. when the jackal approached
Ruth he did so confidently. and nat
urally there was nothing in her atti-
tude to disturb this confidence. In

Who're had he been? How long had

"A quarter Of an hour at the long

So Ruth handed her mangosteens
to the spinsters. took Camden's rick
shaw while he engaged another. and
the two Of them wheeled away. Now
Ruth possessed a good idea Of local
ity; and 1t presently occurred to her
that her rickshaw boy was not going
IN the direction of the markets. which
lay eastward. She touched the boy
on the shoulder with her sunshade.
instead Of turning his head to inquire
what she wished. he broke into the
full run which is almost as fast as
morse ordinarily trots. He would
be able to maintain this gait for an
hour or more. The Chinese in Singa-

1t was the presidents purpose to

days before adjournment of congress.

In order to bring public sentiment
in harmony with his purposes, the
president has inaugurated a campaign
in favor of the ratification of the con-
stitution of the league of nations, in
the exact form brought with him from
Paris.
But more than enough senator's to
defeat the ratification have served
notice on the president and on the
Paris conference that they will de-
feat it unless its terms as they apply
to the United States, are defined in
advance. To the league, as the pres-
dent says it will be, they have no OBJ
iections; but they insist that his in
corporations shall be made part of
the document itself

husband went in and told his wife to
remain outside.
The brief story of the dog has been
told as follows:
while squads Of police were
searching the district detectives went
through the wilkins home for ciucs.
They found the Burglars had been
attacked by tIe dog, winch he'd been
strangled. The thieves had leisurely
ransackod the house and eaten q meal

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

You are often told 70 'beWare OF q
cold" but why? We will tell YOU:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
most serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer q cold hangs on. the
greater the danger, especially from
the germ diseases, as cold prepares
the system for the reception and de-
veopment of the germs of consump-
ton diphtheria, scarlet fever and
whooping cough. The quicker you
get rid of your cold, the less the dam
ger of contracting one of these dis
eases. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has a great reputation as cure for
colds and can be depended upon. 1t
is pleasant to take.

SHORT DAY: MORE WORK.

"In our line of business" writes the
office manager of the western depart
ment of a fire insurance company,
''the office hours generally accepted
are from to $3.50, with an hour for
| luncheon. That makes an Si2 hour
| day. The argument used in favor of
| these hours is usually: The work is all
routine; the employees will not work at
their top speed all day; routine work
permits long hours without affecting
output; and so TO get the necessary
output, an q hour day is necessary.
I'VE used to work on that theory,
too. But a few years ago we decided
that the routine worker appreciates
shorter hours, and will show his APP
probation by getting out his work
faster if the situation is put up to him
right.
$50 we decreased our day to eight
hours, in the face of the trade ira
dition. Then we went to " hours
and later to as we saw output in
creasing with shorter hours. Later
we decreased the lunch period to 40
minutes and closed the office Is min
utes earlier. We get perhaps 33 per
cent moro work from each employe,
as a result. than do other concerns
whose work is practically Identical
with ours.
1--WE say, in effect, to our en-
ploye: You come to work at $3.50
and quit at AIS; in the summer you
come at and leave at 3:45. That
means that you have better working
hours than any other concern would
give you. Our rate of pay is the
same as in other offices. In fairness
we demand from YOU that best there
is in you, every minute of your seven
hours that we are buying
1--WE do not permit smoking during
office hoHrs-not because we object to
tobacco, but because it Is a distrac-
ton. No visiting is permitted; the
clerk who insists on talking during
office hours must go. if he resfuses to
change his ways. The girls do not
go to the washroom to powder their
noses and comb their hair during the

of the office. Even the office boys

MONKEY MANNERS.
London Mail.

Appropos of a recent statement in
the newspapers that the balloons in
South Africa have been dying of the
Spanish flu, very few people realize
how human these animals are. As a
matter of fact, they are very like men
in some respects:
For instance, a troop of balloons
for 1t has been proved that they near
ly always go about in large companies
always posts a sentry. He is placed
IN some prominent position. so that
he can give immediate warming in the
event of any hostile attack.
The baboon's cry somewhat re-
Sembles a German "Hoch," shouted
through a megaphone, and it is pos
sible to talk to them by means of it
One day a gentleman who has spent
a good many years in Africa entered
large kloof, and soon heard the cry
of a baboon sentry. He immediately
put his hands up to his mouth and
answered him. After a time he saw
the tree tops swaying and soon caught
sight of the animal climbing hand
over hand up the steep side of the
kloof,
The baboon, having reached q safe
position, began to curse him. and in
a few seconds the whole kloof re-
sounded with the cries of his hidden
comrades.
A baboon is said to be able to count
up to two, and not beyond that; and
as they come in large numbers and
carry Off the ripe mealies, steps have
to be taken to reDel them. And so,
when the mealies get ripe. three men
walk into the field with their guns
and lie down.
After time one of them gets up
and goes out. and the baboon sentry
counts--one. Later on another goes
out, and as the sentry only counted
two men coming in, he concludes that
there is nobody left in the field, and
accordingly gives the signal, where
upon the whole troop swarms over
the fence and begins to gather the
corn. AS soon as they are near
enough the third man shoots them
down with repeating rifle. and if he
is a fairly good shot their numbers
are greatly diminished.
When they are being hunted with
dogs an old man balloon who is cor
nered seizes an attackerr with one
hand by the nearest limb, and, gath
ering up fold of skin in the other
hand, tears it off. and, throwing aside
his victim, waits for the next. In
this way he will often kill several dogs
before he gives up the fight.
