When in Doubt, Add 10 Per Cent.

A Wall street man was negotiating
with O country tinsmith for the re-
newal of the rain cutters on his house.
Inquiring cautiously about the cost of
copper cutters, he was surprised to
find that they would cost him at the
rate of more than 80 cents pound,
though the metal sells in ingots
around 10 cents.

men that work the metal up in the

introduced. At first the lion looked
surprised, and then lay down and gent

not like this, and drawing back a pace
or two butted the lion in the name.
This appeared to amuse the lion great

Mo Doubt Who Was Boss.

one is going to be the boss OF the

him." Thereupon she stepped into
the hall. and when the door opened
Adler could see little man waiting

REFUSED TO ABANDON GAME.
Plucky Terrier Died With Fox II Had
Run to Earth and Killed in
Combat

What Is believed TO be an unprece-
denied end to combat between a fox
and a terrier is reported from the
Lake country.
A stout hill fox hunted by the Blen-
cathra hounds for three and a half
hours on the mountain heights above
st. Johns-in-the-Vale sought sanctuary
in a assure of rock in a crack near the
skyline of Wanthwaite. Here he faced
one Of the gamest terriers belonging
to the pack and, scrambling to a shelf
in the rocks, was able for some time
t2 give as fierce punishment as he got,
The terrier killed the fox, but re-
fused to leave 1t and followers and
hounds had at last to quit the crags
so that they might make the descent
of one of the most dangerous ravines
of the mountain range before dark
ness. When huntsman and whip re.
turned next morning to the crag they
found terrier as well as fox lying dead
outside the bOrran.
An examination of the terrier show
ed that the fox had inflicted no mortal
wound upon him. The terrier had
dragged the fox out and then, 10th to
leave it, had laid down beside it. 1t
was clear that he had died from ex-
posture during bitterly cold night.
No similar case has, so far as, is
known, occurred before.-LOndOn

PICK EMPLOYEES WITH CARE
Modern Business Men No Longer Rely
on the "Hit-or-Miss" Method OF
Selection.

There was a time when picking en-
ployees was a hit-and-miss job, q trial
and-error matter which few employers
believed could be corrected. This Is
the day of doing things right and the
modern employer is now selecting ms
associates, from the office boy to the
man highest up, with as much care as
he would launch on an entirely new
business venture. William Marvin
Jackson, director Of the Personnel De
velopment service, writes:
'If employees are carefully selected,
with an eye to their real adaptabillty
and fitness for the work to be done, it
goes without question that they are
much more likely to take an interest
in theft work, and hence. the business
itself, II they RE interested, they will
ret along well with their fellows and
co-operate with their superiors. All OF
which means that they will grow, ana
there is no satisfaction for the EN-
ployee greater than that which accom-
NAMES the knowledge that he is GET

back may make him feel good, ana
having him a good salary may make
him work harder. But giving him a
new job and bigger job VIII alone

GET RESULTS FROM HOLIDAY
Vacation Days Should Be as Care
fully Planned as is the Work
of the Year.

= To the question, "What will you dc
on your holiday" some might reply,
discerning possible tilt against the
strenuous holiday, Nothing" That
would be as wrong as doing too much.
The perfect holiday, for the average
worker, should be on crescendo and
diminuendo lines, observes writer
in London Answers.
You pass into your fortnight or
three weeks quietly. Your body is,
literally, a machine. 1t has been do
ing work-hard, monotonous work
for year. To switch ii on suddenly
to something quite different is to ask
for trouble.
The walkers to BridgtOn don't
plnngeNat the walk. They begin with
short walks, to get themselves in trim.
So whatever you are going to do"
on your holiday do II slowly and quiet
ly at first, SO that the machine of
your body may "change gears" with
out jar, break or mishap. Then by
the middle Of your holiday you will
be In good trim and the best Of health.
And 1t is necessary, if your holiday
is to do you real good, and build you
up for another years work, that you
should gradually slow down with your
holiday activities, resume your work
without, as it were, having to make
yourself do it.
Who has not known that post-holi-
day feeling of not being able to settle
down? 1t is the result of living a
holiday at high pressure and ending
at high pressure. Let the steam off
gradually, so that YOU may pass from
your holiday back to your work with
out effort.

Australian Rabbits Selling Fast.

Rabbits have been doing great dam
age in the grazing districts of
Australia, and strenuous efforts TO
eradicate them has resulted in the kill
ing of vast number Of these ami
mails. Some 100000 bodies are now
IN cold storage awaiting shipment to
England. The embargo on the export
of rabbit skins was removed in De
eember last, and the boom in rabbit
skin prices has produced remarkable
competition in slaughtering the pest
The ruling average price paid to trap
pers for skins is now S1.s2 per pound,
and the demand for skins by the
United States and European markets
is so great that it cannot be satisfied,
and IL is thought that prices will go
still higher. Experienced trappers are
making up to $97 per week for the
skins alone.

PLAYED FEW SAFETY SHOTS
Men Who Have Won Success in life's
Game Satisfied With Moth
irp but Victory.

Walter Hagen, the golfer, says
"Never play for a safety, but always
try for the cup"
Kings in other trades as well as in
golf have found that il pays to ''try
for the cup" remarks "Girard' in the
Philadelphia Press.
Safety shots are often careless shots
IN business as in play.
Rockefeller played six hole out IN
the Oil world and he made par and
then some.
Morgan hammered the ball straight
for the flag and it few above every
bunker and sand pit in the financial
world.
Col. "Tom" Scott had no safety
shots in his bag when dreaming out
the Pennsylvania road system, nor did
Franklin B. GOwen when he made his
master stroke in buying the Readings
coal lands.
Theodore n. Vail, the telephone
giant, never minced his game nor re
sorted to half shot to save his face.
He went out with the long stroke and
came home to the final shot with
record card to his credit.
The big-league teams play to win
the game, not to win compromise or
tie the other team.
The great merchant nails his flag to
the mast, says "damn the torpedoes,"
and shoots straight at his target.
So in business as on the links the
adage should be: Hold your mead
still and play for the cup"

DOUGLAS BASKETBALL COACH ANSWERS THANE
 CHAMPIONSHIP CLAIMS

Disputing the claim of Manager Jack Smarden of the Thane basket ball team that Thane is 1920 bas- ketball champion of Gastineau Chan nel despite it's one defeat of the season by Douglas High School be- cause the latter team has refused to play Thane return game on con citions laid down by Smarden, Coach c. Mitchell, of Douglas, has sent the following communication to The Empire with request that it be publisEcd:,
 "The Douglas High School bas- ketball team thinks an answer is in order to Manager Smarden's ar ticle in Saturdays Empire in which he claims the basketball champion ship for Thane We remember that in a previous article he credited his team with being veteran players from several Eastern Universities. Is he not claiming the champion ship for his veterans on rather poor grounds since he has not made an outright winning? Skill in handling the ball is our understanding Of good playing, but Smarden insists on having a referee who will allow rough playing. Tho selection of the hall was minor point in cur in- ability to agree. We believe that the public will sustain our claim that we Lave a right to insist on a referee who will conduct bas- ketball game as such, rather than cs a wrestling or boxing match. As matters now stand we of the Doug las High School team cannot help feeling that Manager Smarden is a rather poor sport.
 "Thc Douglas team is as yet un- defeated but intends to finish the season. We do not know very much about games being handed to us on silver platter but it seems that Manager Smardan would like us to hand him the game on a gold plat ter well furnished since he wants to name the time, the place and the referee.
 "We would like to know if these three things are conceded, just what rights a winning team has. Accord | ing to his idea a winner is loser. To sum it all up it is similar to a man in the ring being knocked out and getting up in q dazed manner claiming to be the winner.
 The attitude of Thane not want | ing to play at Douglas is mystery to us since they have used the floor there for practice all season and
