work. and loyalty to the mistress Of
the house. The plan succeeded 50
well she branched out along another
line; she went into homes, intro
duced an efficiency OF service and a
saving in time TO which they had
been a stranger.
She arranged a time table for the
servants so that the mistress knew
at certain hours Just what every girl
and man In her employ was doing
The employees knew when they fin
ished one task there was leisure for
them before beginning the next one.
The time saveA was their own hence
they no longer dailied- This meant
saving in light, in heat. IN food, in

side the once proud private office.
Cox stood at his desk surveying the
ruins. The private office was a total
wreck. but Cox had won his battle
over the larger antagonist.
Another incident showing Cox
nerve is recited by Daytonites. Sew.
eral years ago during a street car
nival in Dayton. pickpockets operated
in the very shadow of the police sta
ton. Cox's paper printed the story
and started campaign that led to
the resignation OF the chief Of detec-
tives. After his resignation the for
mer detective chief left Dayton.
He returned suddenly one Sunday,
phoned to Cox to come downtown and
added:
Meet me at the Hotel and
have your gun in your hand. Just
to make it even III give you the first
shot"
SCORNs GUN.
Cox went. He didn't take his gun.
He searched the appointed hotel, and
when he did not find the former detec-
tive chief there he went to another
hotel and made search. He did not
go home until he learned that friends
of the former detective chief had hur-
ried him out of town.
On another occasion two attorneys
objected to the publication of some
item in Cox's paper. Cox tried to
reason with them. They were bellig-
erent and insisted on settling it
physically. Cox agreed. Both of the
attorneys later consulted doctors.
Cox got only few scratches
WEARS LIKE PLATTNUm.
Cox's buoyant vitality has been the
wonder of all watchers at the ring
side of the Democratic entry. At
Dayton on his official notification
day, he arose early, discharged some
pressing business, spent three hours
in conferences with party leaders.
held open house and shook hands
with hundreds of visitors for two
hours more, declined to enter a car
that had been provided for him and
instead led his own parade over two
miles of dusty cobblestone, reviewed
the parade for two hours more, de-
livered his acceptance address which
required two hours and half. and
went to his residence for important
party conferences lasting several
hours more. He seemed less tired
than any one else connected with the
ceremonies when it was over.
GREAT WALKER.
Walking has played a big part in
Cox's keeping in condition. He is
accustomed to walking the two and a
half miles from his home to the
state House in Columbus each day.
He uses the push button on his desk
less than most executives. When he
wants a thing he is very likely to
jump up quickly and get II himself.
He has learned the secret of keeping
in condition by keeping a good blood
circulation.
Jimmy Cox is in condition. He
has the speed and fighting spirit. He
impresses one by his confidence and
utter lack OF irritability. A merry
time will be had by all who sit at
the ringside between now and
November ..
