ON THE JOB.
The man who wins is the man who
works.
He has his mind and liis wbole being!
concentrated on the task in hand.
He is on the job.
He finds out everything about it of
which his hiiml is capable knows it
flown to the grass roots.
He gives it his whole attention.
A man cannot he on the job with
half or all of his mind somewhere else.
He cannot watch his work and watch
the clock.
He cannot go to sleep at the switch.
He cannot have a divided allegiance.
He who thinks his .work is not
worthy of hinr is not worthy of his
work.
Any work well done is worthy of
him to whom that work is given.
By measuring up to it he will meas
ure beyond it to something bigger. By
doing the smaller task well he invites
the larger task.
To climb a stair we must first take
the bottom step.
If we despise the lower steps too
much to put our feet on them how can
we reach to the higher steps?
The office boy who studies the busi
ness and is keenly alive to the firm's
interests will not long remain an office
boy.
Such a boy says "we", when speaking
of the concern that employs him. He
is a partof the machine and as impor
tant in his place as the president of
the company.
He may not wwn a share of stock,
but he invests his' mind and energy,
and these are worth more than money.
The key word of this age is efficiency.
The ability to do something is the
ability to he somebody.
We are measured by what we pro
duce. If you have no money to invest in a
business invest your brains, your in
terest, your loyalty and your -energy.
These things have a greater purchas
ing power than dollars because they
make dollars.
To say that one is efficient is but an
other way to say that he is on the job.
The 'slang phrase may not be so ele
gant, but it is more forceful and more
nearly tits the idea.
Invest yourself and you will draw in
terest on your investment.
Improve the quality of your product
and your product will improve your
situation. -
The man who is not on the job will
soon be out of a job.

MARTY O'TOOLE'S HOBBY IS
' PHONY PIPES.
At the training camp in Hot
Springs. Ark . recently Marty
O'Toole. the famous Pittsburgh
pitcher, brought into camp sev
eral new pipes, in addition to
some of the old ones which most
of the Pirate smokers coveted
last season. The new ones em
brace tuecrstbaiim. a calabash
and an umber stemmed French
brier. Trainer Ed La Force also
has a brier which was presented
to him in Pittsburgh before the
club started south this spring.
The two were, comparing their
pipes recently when somebody
suggested that the amber stems
were "phony;" that they were
made of celluloid. Marty was
willing to believe.it of L Force's
pipe, and vice versa. It was
finally agreed to test the stems
wiih lighted matches. La Force
tried his, and it stood the test.
"All right. Ed; I'll let you win,"
said Marty, and he could not be
induced to put a match to the
stem of his pipe.

EGGS ID BUTTER
v- DROP FURTHER OFF
Too general a supply has forced
the egg and butter prices down, and
is bad for the trade. Butter was
quoted in Portland Saturday at 21ic
below Friday's prices, while eggs
have touched so low a point that they
are being bought for storage. Desire
of poultry men to rid. themselves of
stock before warm weather sets in is
keeping the egg market down, as
hens are laying steadily. Chickens
average 18 cents a pound wholesale.
Cabbage, owing to a demand that
cannot be met, has gone up two cents
a pound, and offerings are scant. Po
tatoes continue with a glut, and a
carload arrival at Portland distribut
ing houses from Florida has not help
ed matters any. The Florida tubers
came packed in barrels and were
selling at from 5 to 6 cents a pound.
Tomatoes have suddenly developed
a scarcity, and prices are jumping up.
Outside shipments have been delay
ed, and there is practically n0 local
stock.

The Best Pictures Arje-Always Shown
An Arrest
By JAMES B. BARSTOW
Mrs. Bui-rage (Mile, de Fou and
Signorina Tarantola. with a number of
other aliasesi was the most accom
plished swindler 1 ever bad anything
to do with in all my term of service
on the police force. She must have
belonged to a well to do family or had
a talent for languages, for she could
pose as a native of any civilized land.
One day my chief told me that he
had reliable information of this accom
plished confidence lady; that she was
living in apartments and he wished
me to go and arrest her. ""Go in plain
clothes," he said, "and keep your wits
about you. She is very slippery and
will elude, you if you give her the
slightest opportunity."
1 started out with the intention of
being thoroughly on my guard. 1 knew
that flatbouses are apt to be conven
ient for those who wish to light out
suddenly and took with me sufficient
force to watch from every direction.
Having stationed a man in front, in
rear and on the roof of the adjoining
building, I rang the bell at Mrs. Bur
rage's door. The summons was an
swered by'a maid dressed in uniform
a black dress, apron and cap. . She
held a silver salver in her hand for a
card.
But I was not there for a call, nor
j did it suit my purpose to send in my
name. t bn.siieii i.;sl the maid uuu
passed through lUe 'living room to a
bedroom, where 1 found a lady in dis
habille. "What are you doing here?" she
asked, betraying a foreign accent
"1 have come, madam, to ask you to
make a call upon the inspector."
"The inspector! What does this
mean?"
"That you are under arrest",
She pretended for awhile to be be
wildered at the idea of being arrested,
but whet she found I would listento
her no longer she agreed to accom
pany me without urging if 1 would per
mit her to put on a costume suitable
to the street. After examining the out
lets and seeing no possible way of her
making an escape I consented. The
room was at the end of the suit, on the
fourth door, and no tire escape within
reach. There was no possibility of her
getting out except through the living
room. So I retreated to that apart
ment, but insisted that the door be
tween the two rooms should be suf
ficiently ajar for me to hear, though
not to see.
There was but one door opening
from the suit to the hall, and at this
door I had stationed a man with orders
to let no one pass. On one side of the
flat passageway was the living room,
on the other the dining room and kitch
en. But what interested me was the
bedroom in which I had the prisoner
cornered. I could not for my life see
how she could escape me.
Mrs. Burrage, or whatever her name
was, took her time about dressing. I
listened for every move, and she made
enough of them for me to know by the
sound that she was still there. This
was gratifying, for, though I saw no
way for her to escape me, 1 would have
felt uneasy at any lengthy silence.
When a quarter of an hour had passed
and she did not appear I asked her if
she was not ready. She replied that
she had-no one to hook the back of her
dress."- I told her that I had often per
formed that service for my wife and if
she would come into the living room I
would accommodate her. She said she
would prefer that I come in to her.
Resolved not to grant anything she
proposed, 1 told her to come out to me,
which she did with evident reluctance.
I booked her dress for her, and when
she went back to her bedroom to put
on her coat and hat 1 flung the door
wide open, so that she could complete
her toilet under my observation. She
was so slow about It that I finally told
her that I would give her five minutes
by my watch to finish. She got into
her wraps within the time and said
that she was ready to accompany me.
But she must ask me to go through
the rooms with her if I would not
permit her to go alone to see that
they were in order for locking up. I
consented, and we passed through the
other bedrooms and finally entered the
dining room. My prisoner passed
through it to a pantry between it and
the kitchen and. opening a door,
looked down a lift used for sending
np supplies. Thinking she would at'
tempt to escape through it, I caught
her skirt
She turned toward tne and smiled.
"You may take me to the Inspector
if you choose."- she said, "but I am
not the person you are after. I am the
maid. My mistress you passed at the
door. She got word of a visit by the
police and immediately changed clothes
with me. When you came to me she
made up for a man. went dgwn on
this lift to one of the apartments be
low and has doubtless passed out
through the main entrance. I have
been delaying yon In order to give her
the needed time. Here." pointing to
tha servant's room, "are her maid's
clothes."
I did not take her to , the Inspector.
I went back to him myself and got
laughed at
Some years later I went to arrest the
same woman and succeeded. I asked
her how she got wind of her intended
arrest, and she told me that she hap
pened at the time to be looking out of
a window down on the street and saw
me posting my men. she having bad
time to change costumes with themaid.-
Wise Ostrich.
The ostrich is not such a fool as it
appears. It buries its head In the sand
when pursued by its foes because,
when it does so, its bodv resembles
I the ant hills which surround it and
thus it escapes observation.
Salt.
The earliest Biblical reference to salt
appears to be in connection with the
destruction r.f Sodom anil Gomorrah.

Improving the Boomerang.
The boomerang of the Australian na
tive is of various shapes and patterns.
It has remained for an Englishman so
to improve the Australian cross shaped
weapon that it is no more than a cross
of plain wood, the lower strip of the
cross being one-third longer than tht
other arms of it. In throwing this the
long lower end of the cross is held
firmly between the thumb and fingei
vertically, with the plane of the cross
beside his face. Thrown seventy-five
feet, the boomerang will not return,
but after it has traveled 100 feet or
more the revolutions increase rapidly
until it swerves and begins its return
flight to the thrower'. Harper's.
