Small Boy Put an End to Thefta of
Candy Tatters But Lost
His Job.
A small boy began his business ca-
reer in a five-and-ten-cent store last
week—and he also closed the first
chapter of It in the same store two
days later. He was overzealous In hii
efforts to protect his employer's Inter-
est. Every merchant displaying coun-
ters of candles unprotected by glass
or wire screen covers loses poundc
of candy weekly through the petty
thlevlngs of candy-tasters who help
themselves to one or as many pieces
as they can grab while passing the
unprotected sweets.
The small boy feeling the responsi-
bility of his position reported the
raids on the candy to the manager,
who, appreciating the child's interest,
explained to him that it was almost
Impossible to deal with such culprits
and that at least 16 pounds of candy
were confiscated weekly In such fash-
ion.
Part of the boy's work was to un-
cover the counters In the morning,
and he was on the Job good and early
the second day of his employment.
He assured the salesgirl at the candy
counter that there was going to be a
reduction In candy-tasters that day.
She thought nothing of the remark
until she noticed that every one help-
ing herself to the sweets almost Im-
mediately clapped her hand over her
mouth and ran for the door. Tasting
her wares herself, she discovered the
upper layers of them liberally aprin-
kled with cayenne pepper.
Half an hour later the boy who
thought he had solved the candy-tast-
ers' problem was out on the street,
ruefully contemplating a pepper shak-
er while he went on the quest of a
Job.
LENIENT TO THE OFFENDER
Baron Martin, Old Time English
Jurist, Let Thief Fix His Own
Punishment.
Judges were very considerate la
the old days. Lord Brampton, in his
Reminiscences, relates a story illus-
trating this.
Baron Martin, a famous English
jurist of the old school, whose native
leniency and sense of fun often placed
him at the mercy of the very men he
was trying, was once about to sen-
tence an old offender charged with a
petty theft.
"Look," said the baron, with an as-
sumption of severity; "1 hardly know
what to do, but you can take six
months."
"I can't take that, my lord; it's too
much," said the prisoner, respectfully
but firmly. "I can't take it. Your
lordship sees I didn't steal very much,
after all."
The baroa indulged in one of his
low, chuckling laughs before reply-
ing:
"Well, that's verra true; ye didn't
steal much," he said." "Well, then, ye
can tak' four months. Will that do
—four months?"
"Nay, my lord, but I can't take that
either," was the reply.
"Then tak' three."
"That's nearer the mark, my lord,"
the prisoner said, approvingly. "But
I'd rather you made it two, If you
will be so kind."
"Verra well, then, tak' two," said
the judge, with the air of one who is
pleased to have done the right thing
at last. "And mind, don't come again.
If you do I'll give ye—well, it all de-
pends!"
Wireless and Aurora.
The aurora borealis, or northern
lights, apparently affects the wireless
telegraph waves that pass between
Hammerfest, Norway, and the north-
ernmost station In the world at Green
Harbor, Spitsbergen. Often the polar
light so weakens the wireless waves
that the operator In the receiving-sta-
tion at Spitsbergen can hardly hear
them, and at times communication is
wholly Interrupted. On the other hand,
the appearance of the northern lights
seems to strengthen the waves that
are sent southward. Once, when the
aurora was so bright in Spitsbergen
that it was mentioned in a dispatch
to Norway, the receiving operator at
Hammerfest, when the polar light was
not visible, noticed an extraordinary
increase in the volume and distlnct-
nesa of the signals.
Have Catalogue of Stars.
At Cambridge, Mass., there now ex-
ists the most extensive and valuable
collection of stellar photographs in
the world, numbering over 240,000;
and 100,000 or more of them have
been secured at Harvard 1'nlversity
Observatory at Arequlpa, Peru, at an
elevation of 8,000 feet. The number
of stars revealed on the different
plates depends, of course, on the den-
sity of the part of the sky being pho-
tographed. and on the length of the
exposure, the longer the exposure the
more stars, provided the light of the
sky does not fog the plate. On one
plate alone, namely the region about
Eta Carinae, 240,000 stars hare been
actually oounted.
Humility Net Noticeable.
The will of the earl of Pembroke,
of the English civil wsr notoriety,
does not portray a mind exactly In
the state It should be, when be pro-
ceeds to say: "As regards my other
horses, I bequeath them to my Lord
Fairfax, that when Cromwell and
hla council take away his commission
he may still have eome horses to com-
rasnd. Above all, put not my body
beneath the church porch, for I am.
after all, a man of birth, sad would
not that I should be Interred there
where Colonel Pride was born."
DAUGHTER-IN-LAW
"If you'll promise not to tell a soul,
Charlotte," said Mrs. Darlington to her
hostess, "I'll admit that I'm suffering
from an overdose of daughter-in-law.
A certain amount is a mental stimulus
•—too much simply stultifies.
"Frances, my son Arthur's wife,
came to visit me Just at the time all
well regulate housekeepers think they
have to go through the deadening
process known as housecleanlng," she
went on. "Now, don't breathe it to
a soul, but I never clean house. I cer-
tainly try to keep things nice and
comfortable, but my natural Instinct
Is to avoid dirt. My attitude Is that
If It will leave me alone I will leav*
It alone.
"Who minds a little dust under the
beds and in the closets? I will answer
my own conundrum by telling you that
Frances does. She is perfectly intol-
erant about it. She la conatantly talk-
ing about germa and microbes. 8inc«
I am confessing all my shortcomings,
I will admit that I don't believe In mi-
crobes, anyway. They're far too small.
Frances does, though. Oh, dear, yes,
ahe does.
"She simply can't sit down and read
happily unless the house has been
thoroughly swept and garnished. I can
do It without a tremor. I can leave
dishes unwashed until every dish In
the house has been used and not feel a
qualm. Frances has the dishes round-
ed up and washed so quickly after
they have been used that she leaves
you with a defrauded feeling, as
though you had been done out of part
of your meal.
"The morning after she came I saw
her eying the living room curtains,
which I must confess were not Im-
maculate.
" 'Don't look at those curtains,
Frances,' I said, in my merry, light-
hearted way. 'I know they're not very
clean, but I'm going to have the
laundress wash and Iron them Mon-
day.'
' "Frances half opened her mouth,
then shut it again. I wondered at the
time why she didn't say whatever it
was she had on her mind, but later In
the day I found out.
" 'Mother,' she said, tactfully—
Francis is very tactful—that afternoon
when we were sitting in the living
room having what I conildered a cozy
little chat, 'I've been wondering If It
wouldn't bs nicer If we should get
some curtain atretchers and stretch
the curtains on them instead of hav-
ing the laundress wash and Iron them.'
"To make a long story short, she
dragged me downtown that very after-
noon and we bought curtain stretch-
ers. The next morning, with her own
hands, she washed those curtains. Oh,
there is no doubt that she Is wonder-
ful. I stand In the greatest awe of
any one who can wash things clean. I
never could. They're always much
worse when I finish with them than
when I began.
"After the curtains were arranged
to suit her I happened to mention that
I had some material which I Intended
to make Into comforters when the
spirit moved me. Again speaking
metaphorically, she fell upon that ma-
terial tooth and nail. Then for days
she and I st. ;:eled and perspired
amid billows of cotton.
"When one morning she accidental-
ly opened the door of the chamber of
horrors I thought she was going to
faint. The chamber of horrors, by the
way, 1s the room into which It Is the
time honored custom of the family
to pitch everything that the family
wishes to rid Itself of. Personally, I
get along very nicely by simply shut-
ting my eyes, opening the door slight-
ly and shying in the article. Then
after the door Is shut I have no fur-
ther qualms. But Frances got quite
white when she looked In. She made
me feel—she did it tactfully—that no
decent, self-respecting woman could
exist in a house with a chamber of
horrors. So together we pulled and
hauled and worked and suffered and
threw things away and had a perfect-
ly horrible t.'me generally, but we fine-
ly emerged In that pathetic and
despicable condition called "as neat aa
a pin.'
"It took us days to do it and we
were both nearly dead when we got
through. But the very next morning
after we finished, if you can believa
me, I found her with her head out of
the window and the air of a hound
that is Just getting the scent. She vw
listening to a vacuum cleaner that
was chugging across the street!
"'Oh, mother," she said, "I'm going
out to see If those men can't come to-
morrow.'
"Frances,' I aald, 'you will do noth-
ing of the kind. I positively refuse
to be any cleaner than I am. From
now to the end of yout visit I Intend
to have my kind of a good time even
if there isn't a floor swept or a dish
washed.'
"I did It." aald Mrs. Darlington,
gloatingly. "I kept Frances whirling
In a perfect vortex of matinees and
luncheons and afternoon teas and I
had a beautiful time. But I relented
the day before she went away and let
her clean up the house for me.
"Francee is a dear girl." Mrs. Dar-
lington declared finally, "but she cer-
tainly has a weird Idea of having a
good time!"—Chicago Dally News.

•ST. LOIJiS iSov. 13— A fund of
$10,000,000 for pensions, sick benefits
and life Insurance will be available
on January first for the 170,000 em-
ployees of the Bell System and Asso-
ciated Interests and their families
and dependents, amounting altogeth-
er to more than a quarter of a mil-
lion people.
This $1.0,000,000 fund will be made
good froni ytar to year by annual ap-
propriations on the part of the Amer-
ican Telephone and Telegraph com-
panies, and the Western Union Tele-
graph company and Western Electric
company.
The plan for the distribution of
this fund has been characterized as
the most liberal, comprehensive and
idea^ Jever inaugurated. President
Theo. N. Vail has provided combined
benefits for superannuation, sickness,
accident and death, for an industrial
army more than twice as large as
the standing army of the United
States.
This provision is made entirely at
the expense of the various compan-
ies interested, without contributions
of any kind from the employees them-
selves. The application of these va-
fied benefits will be strictly demo-
cratic and will be for the benefit of
all employees of every rank. The
plan will provide for free change of
employment from one company to
another, with full credit for combined
terms of service.
The Bell System and Associated
interests provide employment for
about 175,000 people, of this number
130,000 are employees of the Bell
Telephone System. The total yearly
pay for the whole groupe is about
$115,000,000 something over $80,000,-
000 being paid out in wages by the
Bell Telephone System alone.
The terms by which provision is
made for the needs of age, illness,
accident and death, may be summari-
zed as follows:
"Pensions:—Male employees who
have reached the age of- sixty years
and who have been twenty years or
more in service may retire on pen-
sions. They may be retired at the
option of the company when they
have reached the age of fifty years
and have been twenty five years or
more in service. The pension age
of female employees is in each case
live years younger than that of male
employees, an employee who has
been thirty years in service regard-
less of age may be pensioned on ap-
proval of president of the company.
The amount of the pension is auto-
matically based on the years of ser-
vice and the amount of pay, and will
be one per cent of the average an-
nual pay for ten years, multiplied by
the number of years of service.
Therefore, a man who had been
thirty years in service would get 30
per cent of the average salary which
he had been receiving during his last
ten years of service. No pension will
be less than ($20.00) twenty dollars
a month.
Accident disability benefits:
In the case of accidents occurring
in and due to the performance of
work for the company, the employee
will receive for total disability, full
pay for .thirteen weeks and half pay
for the remainder of disability up to
six years. If the disability is tempo-
rary. he will receive full pay for
until able to earn a livelihood, not ex-
ceeding six years.
Sickness disability benefits:
Employees who are disabled by
sickness or accident outside of the
regular course of duty after ten years
or more in service will receive full
pay for thirteen weeks and half pay
for thirty nine weeks. If from five to
ten years in service, full pay for
thirteen weeks and half pay for thir-
teen weeks, if from two to five years
in service, full pay for four weeks
and half pay for nine weeks. In the
case of employees who have been
two years in service, heads of de-
partments will be permitted the same
description as heretofore, in continu
ing pay during temporary illness.
Life insurance:
In the case of death resulting from
accident In and due to performance
of work for the company, an insur-
ance amounting to three years pay
will be paid to the dependents of thi
employee, the maximum payment be-
ing $5,000.
In the case of death resulting from
sickness or from accident outside the
business, the payment will he one
year's pay for employees who have
been ten years or more in service, and
one half of one years pay for em-
ployees who have been from five to
ten years in servfce, the maximum
payment being $2,000.
If any state statutes provide for
more liberal compensation than is
provided under the benefit plan the
statutory provision will prevail.
Where the employees have legal
rights, as In some accident cases,
they would have the option of ex-
ercising such rights or accepting the
company's benefits.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph company has set aside from its
surplus a fund which provides for
those whom it directly employee and
also provides a reserve, upon which,
under certain conditions, the associ-
ated companies may draw. This fund
is supplemented by a fund set asid.-
by each company. The total appro-
priations would aggregate something
more than $10,000,000. The benefit?,
it is estimated, will cost annually
about $1,000,000 more than the pres-
ent payments on this account.
The administration of the funds will
be in the hands of employees' bene-
fit committees of five, to be appoint-
ed by the board of directors of each
company. The committee of each as-
sociated company wi l have jurisdic-
tion over the benefits for employees
of that company.
The employees' benefit committee
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company will have general ju-
risdiction over the plan for the entire
system and specific authority as to
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company employees' benefits.
"This pension, and insurance bene-
fits is made possible by the develop-
ment of universal telephone service",
said General Manager .1. M. Noble;
"It is just another of the forward
steps that have marked the work of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company and Associated com-
panies, during the last decade. In
the Southwestern Bell Telephone sys-
tem of which the Pioneer Telephone
and Telegraph company is a part, and
in which there are approximately
900,000 telephone stations, about 15,-
000 employees are affected."
