A Hard Creditor.?Many a Southern
darkey's mind is stored -with bits of
philosophy that are frequently as true
as they are quaint Here is an instance^
"One wintry day," says a Washington
man "i met an old. darky in rafcs [
plodding along. The cold wind beat the
? many holes In his tattered garments.
Yet despite his evident poverty, be was
carrying a whole side of bacon on his
sboujjtyr....
" Uncle.' I asked, 'why didn't you
spend, YOUr money on a warm coat instead
of on all that bacon?'
"*\VeU, suh,' said the old man, grave?
ly," 'when I asks my back for credit I
gits it.' Then, patting his stomach, he
added:
" 'But dis heah, suh, dis heah always
calls' for cash.'"
Nothing to Fight For,?The cartoonist
tells us an anecdote about a husky
colored boy who was being urged to
enlist.
"WhaXCp' should Ah go an'? be a
soldier?!' he asked.
"Strong fellows like you ought to
fight for their country," said the recruiting
sergeant.
"Yassah.r responded the negro, "dat
kind o' talk .is all right fo' de fahmahs
?lit^em fight foh dey country."
"But why shouldn't you fight for
your country?"
. "Me? Ah ain't got no country?Ah
1 was raised in de city."
''Her Own Fault.?"You're a swindler
exclaimed Mrs. Gobb as she entered
th? bird store. "You're worse than a
highway rober. You -ought to be
ashamed, of yourself to cheat a poor,
looocent woman the way you did. That
' parrot I bought of you last week is a
fraud.' Ybu said it was a fluent talker
and you charged me a big price for
him. too, gnd, that bird hasn't said a
single word since I got him. Not one
word. Do yon hear n^e? Not?one?
single?word!"
^ "Perhaps," suggosted the bird
fancier mildly, "you didn't give him a
chance."^,.;... .
, Not Even a Postcard.?The new
postmaster was not having a very ,
happy time, besieged as he was by a
crowd of" burly men all demanding (
their letters ^t the same time.
At last one strode in and shouted
with a voice of thunder: "Have you
V got any letters 'for Mike Howe?"
"For who?" snapped the postmaster, j
T"Mike Howe, I said! Don't you know (
w rnii't vnn talk Enelish? '
J uu? jww v* w? " ^ ? ? ?-?wHave
you ,gny, letters for Miko Howe?" (
The. postmaster took his glasses off. ]
"No, I. have nqt," ho. snorted* ,
^ "neither for your cow nor anyone else's
coiv.I" I

Hard Luok Indeed.?A young man in i
Chicago had lost his aunt. He seemed
so dejected thereby that a friend, i
aware of the true situation, asked:
"Why do you look so sad? you (
never appeared to care much for the <
old lady." I
"I didn't," said the youth dolefully,
"but I was the means of keeping her j
in, a lunatic asylum for a number of i
years. She h^s left me all her money, i
and notjr(J have to prove that 3hc was
of sound mind!" i
11 f1 1 ? ' !
Let Him Out.?"I want to be ek- I
cUsod," said the worried-looking jury- 1
man, addressing the judge. "I owe a '
man five dollars that I borrowed, and J
as he <3 leaving town today for some
years J want to catch him before he ?
' * ?i ?.. vi? j
gets on me tram aim mm uic ,
money." 1 i
".Yqu ?j^ excused," returned His
Honor In icy tones. "I don't want anybody
on. tho jury who can lie like that."
Economical/?The canny Scotchman
is, of course, a synonym for thrift.
Ian MacDougal. about to leave on a
journey, proved no exception to tne
rule. , ,<? .
In h'o parting injunctions to his wife
he said:
"Noo, Janet, dinna forget to mak wee
Sandy tak' off hio glasses when he's
no' lookin* through them."
TYoung Poultryman.?The teacher
had recited The Landing of the Pilgrirafi.
Then she requested each pupil
to draw from his or her imagination a
picture of Plymouth Hock.
Most of them went to work at once,
but one little fellow hesitated, and at
length raised his hand.
"Well. Willie, what is it?" asked the
teacher. . ,
"Please, ma'am, do you want us to
draw a hen or a rooster?"
A Blunder.?It was bathing time
and from the bedroom of twin boys
came the sound of hearty laughter and
loud crying. Their father went up to
find the cause.
"What's the matter up here?" he inquired.
The laughing twin pointed to . his
weeping brother. "Nothing," he giggled;
"only nurse has given Alexander
two baths and hasn't given me any at
all."
i i m ?
But thai Question Returns.?As the
"""""" ~"w I
stagecoach careened toward the edge
of the cliff, the timid tourist gazed
anxiously down at the brawling stream
300 feet below.
"Do people fall over this precipice
often?" she asked.
Th$ driver clucked to his horses.
"No, madam," he returned placidly,
"never but once."

Sleeping Loud.?Mother: * 'Where's

Johnny: "He's upstairs, .asleep."

POINTERS FOR THE BOYS
What Employees Demand and Why
They Demand It.
HONESTY OF FIDST IMPORTANCE
f m *
To Get Along in the World All New
Beginners Must Come Up to Specified
Requirements?Various Qualifications
as to Practical Roview.
Kansas City Star., /
Many boys who have been "fired"
say they don't know why it happened,
nrfmviinpr tn iho oditor of the Ameri
can 6oy, which Is responsible for collecting:
a list of 50 reasons, from employers
all over the country, why
boys are separated from their jobs.
The reasons, as collected and arranged
by W. M. Piner and published
in the'Juno issue, run as follows:
Seamap's Supplies?The timo was
never ripe for him to do anything.
"I'll take that down in the mernin,"
"we won't have time for that today,"
"there isn't any rush about that at
present"?these and similar expressions
were characteristic. He became
known as the postponer. /He postponed
everything except the postponing.
One day a little emergency came
up. "It's only ten minutes till noon,"
he said; "wo ^!hn't do anything in that
time." An outside boy was standing
near and said, "You can do ten minutes'
worth in ten minutes." I Immediately
hired that boy In place of
the other." v J
Book Store?He was a boy of some
originality, but ho wanted to run 'my
business on his plan. I couldn't see
it his way, and he couldn't see It my
way, so we parted company.
Implement House?He complained
that others did not do thoir duty, citing
their delinquencies as causes of
extra hardships on him. The fact was
that his lack of diligence kept him
constantly behind, and his grumbling
was only a subterfuge to excuse hiB
own shortcomings. He saw the mote,
In his neighbor's eyo but could not
see the beam In his own.
Mining Quarters?I am just a rugged
mountaineer brought up out here
among the rocks and rough men that
go with my business, but one day I
overheard him talking to his mother
with shameful insolence. I never could
endure him again.
Printing?We had contracted to
print 5,000 handbills, agreeing to
place one in each home so far as they
went. The work was done so quickly
in one section of the city that we became
suspicious of the boy's honesty.
He stoutly maintained a show of sincerity.
Investigation proved that he
had thrown 37 circulars into the hall
of one hornet
Dry Goods?He gave overmeasure
to h}s friends. Business is a matter of
dollars and cents to us, not of favoritism.
Hatter?rHe got into my confidence
ind then told my business secrets.
Music House?He was profane. He
couldn't talk without swearing. Our
disgust and our self respect forced.us
to ask him to quit.
Abstract Office?He was continually
tnanAiirotn ill Ihn ?mn?PI'lhlni? of lpETHl
forms and business documents. One
srror grot us into the courts.
Clothier?He was a hustling: little
sprout. His mottW was: "Sell every
man." And a rattling good motto It
is, but he lost himself in one pocket
of it. He sold regardless ^of how he
sold.- If he couldn't fit the customer
ho sold something that didn't fit.
He pulled off deals that mado nondescripts
of my customers. They came
back howling at me for running a
misfit parlor and making them my
victims. Ho sold goods, for the moment;
I had to build a business that
would stand through the years.
Power and Light Company?He
was always compaining of being sick.
Perhaps he was, but wc noticed that
he made a dependable quarter back
at football.
River Steamer?We fired him before
we hired him. He was left alone
in the office for half an hour. In that
time he handled everything in the of
flee that he could get his hands on,
even opening desk drawers and inspecting
things there. From tho place
where I was watching him I burst
into the offlccf and sent him ashore
lest in the next minute he might rifle
the safe. I do not believe he wa$ a
thief, but that his overmastering curiosity
would have made him a distracting
influence upon me. Within another
30 minutes had he acted differently,
he would have been at work
kU
UU Ilia J uu,
Shirt Factory?He was absent
minded to a degree of dreaminess.
There seemed always to be something
on his mind that held his interest
elsewhere. Wc let h'lm go to it.
Retail Grocery Store?He was
cruel to our horses. He whipped them
mercilessly, he jerked them brutally,
he. poked along at a snail's pace at
times and then slashed them into a
breakneck speed. A little observation
disclosed the fact that he was cruel to
people also, especially to boys smaller
than himself.
Food Products?He was a good talker
when we listened, but a poor listeij- 1
er when we talked.
General Store?He had to be told
over and over every (fcty just what to
do. He couldn't see it for himself, and
we didn't have time to keep up the
telling.
Curio Dealer?He was too fond of
gab. He permitted tourists to monopolize
his time with questions that led
him into his favorite occupation of
telling where the curios came from,
the difficulties in getting them, and
he was never so delighted as when
the question led into a tale of Indian
blood and thunder and other romances
"of the wild and wooly west. I had my
curios to sell. He used them as a
setting to spin yarns about.
Lawyer's Offico?lie was a brilliant,
precocious little scamp. He could
write shorthand rapidly, but in transcribing
it on the typewriter he persisted
in abbreviating my letters, and sometimes
changed the outline of my
speeches. The result was ridiculous.
Hardware?He was an expert checker
player. *Hc knew all the shrewd
moves, ail the professional tactics, and
he was ceaselessly talking of certain
original moves that would some day
make a famous champion.. He insisted
on playing and on atracting to my
house a troop of youngsters whose
highest ambition was to "break into
tho kingdom."
Banking House?He wouldn't work
except at one desk?without grumbling.
>vNo emergency was ever syfjlcient
to make him a cheerful helper at some
other desk; though his own were Idle.
We needed an adaptable character.
Transfer Company?He overcharged
our customers, and to this dishonesty
he added the inexcusablo# habit of demanding
tips.
Garage?He had the speed mania.
He would break up more fcai-3 than we
could pay for. He several times dashed
into vehicles, luckily killing nobody,
but leaving us damage claims to pay.
Sporting Goods?His red eyes and
morning headaches told us that he had
been carousing the night before.
Yawning and stretching and moping
are bad signs for the boy who really
wants to hold his job.
Ice Factory?He gave short weights
to customers that he might have an
overplus of ice to sell others on his
own account as a rakeoff. Any rakeoff,
no matter what nor how obtained,
is ranjt dishonesty, and I could not
keep a thiol In my employ.
Railway Office?He was stubborn
about substituting his own system of
bookkoeping for ours. We could not
charge the methods of a great rail-"
way system to accommodate him. Utter
confusion followed his failure to
conform to our way of doihg things. x
Telegraph Office?The boy had
wings. He could fly with or for a message.
He could not comprehend the
necessity for signatures and records
In keeping track of deliveries andVeports.
He kept us in constant trouble.
Lumber Industry?He was our timekeeper.
It was a very easy, though a
very important position. He was too
lazy or too indifferent to go to the
camp to secure facts first hand, but
Instead he went to the city and depended
on reports from others as to how
many men were at work and how
many hours they were on. ,
Livery Stable?He drove the life out
i)f our customers' horses. When we
Bent him 10 blocks for a rig he would
get into it and take a spin into the
country. If it happened to be at night,
he would get some friend and drive for
an hour, then make untruthful excuses
for his delay in geting back.
Law Firm?For the sake of his dehd
father I strove to mako a man of him.
[ offered him a room in my home, with
free board, laundry, lights, fuel and
everything else, gave him access to my.
library and plainly told him I would
give him a partnership with me in my
extensive pract!v6 just as soon as he
could get his license. He wanted to see
the world. .He Is still seeing1 it?on
foot. \ ?
Manufacturer?Believing that he deserved
advancement, we promoted
him. "Ijhe promotion sent him daffy.
He at once became dictatorial, bossy,
[ifrsuming prerogatives wholly foreign
to the position. He was disagreeable
|f not permitted to have his way.
There was no chance for the forbearance
which wc would gladly have conceded
to him.
Candy Factory?He read novels during
business hours. He often became
so absorbed that customers would enter,
speak to him, ask for something
and leave without his ever knowing
they had been there. Wc do not object
to reading, but it doesn't go with
business.
Pulmbing?He was a competent
workman for a young chap. He did
his work faultlessly so long as it wa3
above ground, but if dirt went on top
of it you were sure to find dirt in the
execution. His underground work was
very defective, often requiring a second
doing.
Trainmen, enginemcn and yardmen
on government controlled railroads at
Los Angeles, who recently went on
striko in sympathy with striking employes
of the Pacific Electric, which
is not under government control have
been ordered to return to work.

Puzzled On South Carolina Marriage
Laws.?The South Carolina marriage
laws Intermingled with the past nolicense
law of that state has presented
a problem which Burke's court is unable
to solve according to a Morganton
correspondent. In
a ca*6 against Frank Dees, who
is being claimed as their husband by
two South Carolina women, it appears
that one was married to him under
the new license law of South Carolina,
while the other claims to have married
him years ago under the no-license
law.
The latest wlXo was able to proscnt
copies of the license whereas the former
could not, so the tangle was so
great fhat the jury puzzled over it two
days and agreed that the South Carolina
law waij too much for them and
were unable to render a verdict.
