Dancers Are Law Unto Themselves

1t bears a striking resemblance to a
figure INDUCED in with pernicious
abandon by mid-western buyers when
disporting themselves upon New York
hotel roofs. The dancers take posi-
ton, both facing in the same direc-
ton, with the undraped pair of hands
extended rigidly before them, like a
snow pillow or the cowcatcher Of
locomotive. They then move rapidly
off behind the fender, craving, one
may suppose, ruthless track through
the congested traffic usually obtaining
in palaces Of the dance.
Besides the King Tut toddle, very
slow tango will also be advocated.
The assurance is given, however,
that it will not be like the old tango,
but a sort of advanced fox-trot. A
saddening concession to this day of
diminished grace! The dancers will
maintain between their persons a mini
mum hiatus of four inches, and there
will be as few turns as possible, not
more than one or two in every eight
measures.
According to the latest advices, the
Scandal will continue to be danced

Broken Dreams
By GRACE E. HALL

THERE'S little trunk in the attic.
= And its key is red with rust,
There are cobwebs all around 1t,
And the top is gray with dust;
The spiders weave DER the handles,
And swing from the strap of brown.
And no ones there who seems to care
When the lid was fastened down.
But, oh, there was ne'er treasure
More precious than that inside;
A wardrobe Of tiny measure
For the little boy who died;
The dreams Of a life are folded
In the raiment he did not use,
And the mothers tears flow through
the years
For the baby she had to lose.
She fashioned each dainty garment
With love that was strong and deep; :
In the gown she had sense6 the rap
ture
OF seeing her darling sleep;
Had glimpsed him In every wee thing,
And held him against her breast,
The soft pink form. so sweet and
warm,
That lovingly she caressed.
11.
But he was fragile blossom
That needed the higher air,
One almost fancied halo
Lay soft on his silky hair;
He could not wait for the dresses
God called, and he had to heed,
And the trunk shall hold, like bits OF
gold,
The garments he did not need.

TELLING YOUR BOSS

THE man who hires you thinks he
4 knows how to run his business. He
may be wrong, but that is what he
thinks.
Also he believes he knows what he
wants you to do. Again he may be In
error, but such, notwithstanding, is his
belief.
1t may be easy for you to tell the
boss where he Is mistaken in many
things, but don't do it.
1t may hurt his feelings in the first
place, and it may hurt his opinion of
you in the second place.
For most men who have risen to a
position which enables them to hire
other men have d very strong belief in
themselves. And they naturally will
think more of men who agree with
them than of men who differ.
We sometimes hear young men in
fits Of anger telling the boss where he
gets off, although not as often as we
hear them say that this Is what they
do.
But we never saw one who gained
any advantage by it.
If you are right about thing, and
know you are right it is very well to
prove it--provided it will do the bust
ness any good.
But unless you can save your en-
ployer lot of money by showing him
that he Is wrong, you'd better refrain
| from doing So
Men don't like to be put in the
wrong, and they like still less to be
proved In the wrong. And bosses, like
the rest Of us, are only n;cu, after all,
with mems weaknesses and failings.
If you're hired as a coDsu;tant, you
are selling your opinion, and can give
it with immunity. But if you are hired
as an assistant, charged with carrying
out orders, it will do you no harm to
carry out orders exactly as given-no
harm at all.
Carry them out as well as you can

essary, and believing that to carry

Bue tried to cut in front of street
car going west and miscalculated his

the rear fender Of his machine, tossed
the machine half way across the east
bound track, and then struck him just
as another car, coming east, rammed
him from the other direction
The impact and the explosion of the
gasoline tank on Bue's machine as it
was ground between the street cars
threw the occupants of both cars into
a panic.
Men passengers shouted. Women
screamed. Flames shot high in the
air between the cars, which came to
standstill with the machine midway
between them.
The crash was heard by Chief John
A. Groves of the Fifth fire battalion
at fire several blocks distant and he
hurried an engine to the scene.

If you will do that repeatedly the

whether he wants to or not, because II
he doesn't somebody else will find out

With hundreds of people hunting for

In passing glance, provided, OF

A blush often speaks more eloquent

tells the tale Of sorrow that tongue
fails utterly to name; pallor COM
municates in language Of its own,
fully read and comprehended at a
glance.
Each one of these changes in the
countenance speaks directly from the
heart, voices the hearts emotions, its
faith or doubt, Its gladness or grief, Its
hope or despair.
