MEN PAY THEMSELVES
Take Wages From Receipts at
End of Each Day and Are
Own Paymasters.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 4-Nine hundred
mon employed by the Denver Tramway
company never received a pay check or
nay envelope from the corporation al
though many of them have worked for IT
for yean. They are their own pay
masters"
The method by which the men are paid
is claimed by officials of the company 10 be
in use nowhere e.se in America. IL has been
IN vogue here for 80 years, however,
and both officials and employees are well
satisfied with it. Three times the men
voted almost unanimously against any
change in the system.
The 900 who enjoy the distinction OF
working for wages without receiving pay
envelopes are motormen and conductors
and they simply pay themselves at the
end OF each days work out of the amount
collected during their time on duty. Be
fore turning In his receipts for the day,
each conductor pays himself and his
motorman their wages The conductors
are aided in making their calculations by
cards furnished them by the company
which shows the amount due the en-
ploye for any number of hours and
minutes.
The system has many advantages, &C
cording to Frederick W Hid, general
manager of the company. 1t makes the
garnisheeing of mans wages difficult.
1t also means that the men always have
money In their pockets, according to Mr.
Hid. The company benefits by a smaller
clerical staff which would be impossible
were the men paid weekly or bi-weekly
by check or pay envelope, says Mr.. Hid,
who adds, hwoever, that the company
loses about 81 800 per year in interest it
otherwise would receive on its payroll
from the banks.

MEANT FORM OF CRITICISM
Original Expression, Getting the
Dickens Was Not, as Many
Think Something Profane.

Sometime, somewhere. from some
body we all get the Dickens" And
those of us who become prominent get
it more than the others.
Among those of us ordinary NOR
tails who occasionally find relief in let.
ting off steam. in the form of some
thing more expressive than slang,
there seems to be common miscon-
ception that getting the Dickens is
modification or abbreviation Of
Heaven help us y getting the devil"
1t is not. 1t is harmless, legitimate
and respectable expression that may
be used with impunity in the best of
company. 1t is simply an allusion to
our old friend, Charles Dickens.
Though immortal as a novelist,
Dickens was well known i'm his own
time as newspaper man. So vitriolic
is he said to have been in his at
tacks on faulty public officials or other
prominent men that gradually it came
to be said, when any one was criticized
by him, that he got 1.-The Dickens"
