He sees you starting out to make a record and he thinks yot stand a pretty good show of getting his job. He doesn't get here before the warehouse is unlocked in the mornin: and stay after six o'clock when there's a rush, and if he doesn’t do it himselt he doesn’t want nobody else to do it and get shoved up over his head.” “Do you think fhat's it?” asked Kin- weiser doubtfully. “You keep right on the way you are doing and see how long you'll be able to hold yourgjob.” “I don’t want to lose my job,” said Kinweiser. “I had too must trouble getting it.’’ “Yhen slow down,” advised Roder “Quit when it's quitting time or a lit- ly tle before and don’t be in too much of by sweat to get down on time in the morning.

Kinweiser took that view of it him. self, so it was a distinct surprise tc him when, at the end of his fifth week with the firm, Burkman called him into the office and told him that he would have no further use for his ser- vices. The young man could only gasp with the shock. “I'm sorry.” said Burkman, rather moved with compassion at his distress “Mr. Wililter reported very favorably of you at first. He said you were quick and seemed to be trying and tak- ing an interest in the business. Still he thought it might be a case of new broom, and the way you've dropped off in the last week or two shows that that was the correct assumption.” “It wasn’t,” declared Kinweiser “] was interested and I meant to work work hard, only —I—I thought—” “What did you think?” “I thought I wasn’t wanted to—ihat is, I was told” “Well?” Kinweiser was silent. Perhaps Roder had meant well. “What made you think you weren’! anted to?” “Mr. Williter didn’t act as if he was pleased with me.” “Do you mean that he didn't pat you on the back every time you did what you were hired to do?

Here are some of the opinions expresged by railway aficials on women as employes: “Woman its all right in her place, but that fsn’t in a railroad office,” says President Underwood, of the Erie lines, “We won't discharge any women now employed aa stenogra phers, but as fast as they marry or quit for other reasons we will fill their places with men.” “Wena undoudtedly exercise a good influence in an office,” said Gen eral Auditor Sturgis, of the Burling ton system. uahey do not swear, ure tobacco, go to saloons, or tell office secrets,” “Get rid of all the women on the pay roll and put men in teair places,’ was one of the first orders issued by Horace G.

DRAWS TOWN TO CHURCH. k (Conn,) Pastor's Schemes to apty Pews Attracts Great Swarm of Worshipers. Nangn rill Posters and half-page advertisement In the Ic newspapers of Naugatucl Conn., on a recent Saturday announced the services to be held the foliowing day in St. Bartholomew’s Eplacopal chureh Naugatuck. [t was a plan hit upon by the rector, Rev. Dr. W. H. Garth, to fill his pews. The result was more startling than Mr. Garth could have imagined, for practically the whole town turned out and half an hour before the service be- gan people were being turned away from the doors. Most of the congregation brought their newspapers for pro- grammes, and the rustling nearly drowned out portions of the services. Conservative members are shocked ai what they term the pastor's sacrilegious conduct. The half-page “ade” were in- serted at Mr. Garth's personal expense. The sermon topic appeared in bold-faced letters 114 inches high. HOW TO LIVE 400 YEARS. According to This System It Requires Giving Up of Pleasuves, Phys- jeal and Gastronomic, Joseph Salomonson thinks a short and merry life of 80 years or so is not to be compared with a life of 400 years-with all the fun left out. Mr. Salomonson is not 400 years old yet, but thinks he wi!l be if he follows his system. Mr. Salom- onson is a native of Belgium, arrived at Philadelphia on the Haverford, and weri at once to New York to visit Benjamin Lust, who is going to try Balomonson’s idea at a New Jersey sanitarium. The first requisite for attaining this great age is a thorough knowledge of the works of Richard Wagner. Then you must eat no animal food or salt, drink nothing, not even water, wear a robe and sandals, wear your hair long,. and sleep on the ground, with the sky fora coverlet. That is Mr. Salomonson’s system, and he declares that it will work. Meals nt, The Russian giant Machnow is suing Showman Sedelmeyer in Paris for starving him.
