GOOD PAY, GOOD SERVICE.
A New England merchant is reported
to have recently remarked that his ex
penses have augmented every l'-rfir, and
that he was all tb belter off on that
account Being apked the reason, he
said that he took care to get goo3
help, which he always paid well, no
matter how the times Were. He !.&!
not adopted the profit-sharing system
and since his help did not divide his
profits, which as a rule went sufficiently
large, he did not feel tuat he should
expect them. U. share the loss. The re
sult was that hia employes never left
him his Interest were their Interests,
and each year he felt that their In
creased experience, coupled with their
unflagging asallulty, entitle! them to
larger pay. He always had men, he
Ruid, uioii whom he could depend; the
business was safe In their hands wheth
er he was present or absent, besides
which matters went on In tho regular
vay, and In addlt'.ca bis clorka and
customers understood each, other per
fectly, as could not otherwise bo the

number of the friends of the members
whose enthusiasm never lagged from
start to finish of the excellent little pro
gram presented for their entertainment.
The affair was purely informal, no at
tempt being made by the club to pre
pare an elaborate exhibition, but its
success was complete and eminently
satisfactory to all concerned. Promptly
at 8 o'clock the contestants In the IVj
mile handicap race were called to their
marks, and no sooner had Mr. Sam
Maddock, who officiated as starter, giv
en the word, than the fun began. The
race was in doubt until the last two
laps, when the boys began to show their
metal and training. Addis ran sixteen
laps In strong form, and then retired,
while all the other men, Tee (110 yards),
McLean (90 yards), Hellborn (75 yards),
finished the 28th lap strong. Gibson.
(scratch) won, closely followed by Mc
Lean, who for a young runner, made
an excellent showing. Hellborn and
Tee tallied good time, the latter being
loudly applauded several times for his
game performance. An exhibition ol
tumbling and horizontal bar work fol
lowed. Tho gymnasts were E. Hansen,
C. R, HIgglna and Professor Spencer.
The professor's bar performance
brought down the house and showed
hl3 ability to do full Just4ce to his
position as coach of the club. Fol
lowing this came the "piece de resist
ance" a. three round boxing contest
between W. E. Tallaut and Professor
Spencer. Peter Grant acted as referee,
and tho Item showed a splendid exhi
bition, both the contestants doing clev
er and sprightly work. Their effort
was heartily cheered. The entertain
ment concluded with ft game of basket
ball between two teams chosen by T).
McLean and C, R. Hlgglns. To nearly
all the spectators tho Kama was nn
absolute novelty and it "took" beyond
an expectations, AH the vim and
smart nesa that could be crowded into
half an hour's play, with a dozen ex
citing incidents thrown t, were pre
sented without a second's pause and
the greatest Interest was evinced until
tho call of tiroo, The result was a win
for McLean's men by five coals to four.
after' one of the best games ever played
In the hall. Hlgglns, McLean, McCue,
Hansen, Stuart, and Hellborn were very
prominent throughout. The club's
string orchestra played several selec
tions during the evening, and added
not a little to the success of the affair.
