Nancy behring's
Pride
By KATE EDMoNDs.


@. 1871. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
Mother, 1 would rather remain at
home than go to the dance In that old
blue gown" cried Nancy Deering. II

there has seen it dozens of times, and
Of course cannot have a new one
now--I am not COMPLAINING would

"Why?"
I'm rather tired Of the old crowd"
Her mother saw the red lips culver
and knew 1t was because Carolyn
Wright would be there with a group
Of young girls and men from the city,
and that Paul Mason might be among
them. Paul had been very devoted to
Nancy the winter before and people
had expected them to marry, but the
last dancing party had come and gone
and no word had been asked and he
had gone back to the city and Nancy
had fortified herself behind a little
wall of pride and gone everywhere,
but her observant mother had noticed
that she did not wear the rose-colored
dress again. 1t was charming dress
of soft satin and Nancy had looked
like rose herself as she danced the
evening through. Almost any man
would have capitulated to Its allure
ment, but Paul must have been made
of sterner stun for he rode away
and Nancy was still free, and there
was cloud In her eyes which had not
been there before.
"Why don't you wear the rose satin,
NancyT asked her mother.
Nancy paled and for moment she
hid her face in her mothers lap. 81
cannot, mother dear; 1t 10 such a
happy dress" she whispered.

lf we may be allowed to speak, we desire 10 state that we hold these truths to be self-evident
 That honesty Is not only the best. but the most profitable policy.
 That a business succeeds only as f serves.
 That no business can long exist un- less 1t performs some service either better or more cheaply than any other agent
 That retaining the business of an old customer is more important than getting the business of new GUS toner.
 That courtesy pays dividends regu- larly and promptly
 That a business which is operating without a knowledge of it's costs Is riding to ruin.
 That the best salsemen business can have are it's customers.
 That the greatest asset of man or q business is the reputation for fair dealing.
 That the goodwill of the employed Is just as desirable as the goodwill of the trade
 That all the advertising in the world will not create a permanent demand for an inferior product.
 That success in business is more often won by men who are steady. conscientious pluggers than by the brilliant on-again-off again boys
 That common sense is the rarest commodity on the market
 That all of us know more than any of us. therefore, let us not fight our competitors but rather cooperate with them
 That the prizes in this world go to those who are orderly, industrious, fair and temperate Selected.

through the children's bureau, has
just issued a report called physical
Standards for Working Children" in
which committee of IL physicians
appointed by the children's bureau
explain how the health of children at
work may be protected.
An effective means of protection
lies in the adoption of physical stand
ards which all children entering in
dustry are required by law to meet.
Eighteen states now have law re-
quiring children to be examined before
going to work. These states are Ala
bama, Arizona, California, Connect
icut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Min
nesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island and West Virginia.
The most comprehensive of these
laws requires that child shall be
of normal development for his age,
in sound health and physically fit for
the occupation which he is about to
enter. But unless examining physi-
clans have definite standards by
which to test development and sound
health, underdeveloped and physically
defective children are likely to go to
work early to their own serious dis
advantage, in spite Of excellent laws
intended for their protection. The
committee, therefore, has undertaken
to define what constitutes normal de-
velopment and sound health for child
rem.
The report of the committee con-
tains minimum standards of height
and weight for specified ages, based
on the most trustworthy experience
and present-day practice. 1t also lists
defects for which children should be
refused certificates, remedlable de-
fects for which they should be refus-
ed certificates pending correction, and
conditions requiring supervision under
which provisional certificates for Pc
riods of three months may be issued.
The points which examining physi-
clans should cover if adequate pro-
child are given in detail in the report,
lection is to be given the working
which also contains record blank for
the use of physicians in making these
examinations.
Periodical examinations for children
after they have gone to work are re-

GRUMBLING

In every corporation, factory, store,
or office you will find few grum-
blers among the workers, who are dis
satisfied with their work, are in a rut
or think their boss is down on them.
They can always give you some kind
Of reason for their feelings. A few
Of these grumblers are liable to settle
q perpetual gloom over the whole
place. They are constantly on the
lookout for something to happen that
they can complain about, and II they
are permitted to start grumbling
they will harm the whole crowd. The
prospects of both the boss and the
other workers are being hurt by the
presence of these grumblers and it is
I'D to the boss and other workers to
weed out these kickers.

UNCIVILIZED

An ancient ape, once on time,
Disliked exceedingly to climb,
And so he picked him out tree
And said, "Now this belongs to me.
/ have hunch that monks are NUTS
And / can make them gather nuts
And bring the bulk of them to me,
By claiming title to this tree"
He took a green leaf and reed
And wrote himself title-deed,
Proclaiming pompously and slow:
"All monkeys by these presents know"
Next morning when the monkeys came
To gather nuts, he made his claim:
Cali monkeys climbing on this tree
Must bring their gathered nuts to me,
Cracking the same on equal shares;
The meats are mine, the shells are
theirs"
"But by what right? they cried,
amazed,
Thinking the ape was surely crazed,
"By this" he answered; "if you'll read
You'll find it is title-deed,
Made in precise and formal shape
And sworn before fellow ape.
Exactly on the legal plan
Used by that wondrous creature, man,
In London, Toxic, New York,
Glengarry, Kalamazoo and Cork.
Unless my deed is recognized,
1t proves you quite uncivilized.
But" said one monkey, you'll agree
1t was not you who made this tree"
Nor" said the ape, serene and bland,
"Does any owner make his land,
Yet all of it's hereditaments
Are his and figure in his rents"
The puzzled monkeys sat about;
They could not make the question out
Plainly, by precedent and law,
The apes procedure showed no flaw;
And yet, no matter what he said,
The stomach still denied the head.
Up spoke one sprightly monkey then
Monkeys are monkeys, men are men
The ape should try his legal capers
On men who may respect his papers
We don't know deeds; we do know nut:
And spite of ifs and lands and butts
We know who gathers and un-meat:
'em.
BY monkey practice also eats 'em.
$50 tell the ape and all his funkeys
No man-tricks can be played on mon
keys"
Thus, apes still climb to get thei
| food,
Since monkeys minds are Grass AM
crude,
And monkeys, all SO ill-advised,
Still eat their nuts, uncivilized.
