RECALL FATE OF FRANKLIN
MUCH FROM EMPLOYES
Some Qualities That Applicant for a
Job Had to Show in a Char- J
acter Test. i
A Now Yorker who, for reasons of
(leliciH'.v, must lie nameless, was re
cently gratified Willi a tempting offer
of employment.
The firm which sought his services
required from him a scientific char
acter reading by an expert, lie was
referred to a local psycho-analyst re
tained by the concern.
The expert rated him high on latent
ability, but deficient in the essential
business qualities of "self-esteem and
selfishness."
He did not get the job, says Les
lie's. . "Sorry," he was told, "but your
character shows there isn't enough
iron in your makeup."
Ho, for the good old days when a
mean man was still an "ornery cuss"
and generosity was yet respectable.
Time was when a man's kindness rec
ommended him for a job and gave
him reasonable hopes of advancement.
Now, a growing number of employers
insist that his worth be weighed in
advance with a pair of apothecary's
scales and gauged with a machinist's
micrometer. And woo to him if the
acute psycho-detective discerns in . him
tt tendency to meekness or human
sympathy! lie suiters the besetting
business vices of modesty and tinsel-,
fishurss !
How deeply, we wonder, have the
doctrines of these latter-day prophets
penetrated the collective business
mind of the country at large 1 Must the
model citizen who listens dutifully on
a Sunday morning to a sermon on the
brotherhood of man hurry ho'nn to a
learned treatise on how to despise his
neighbor?
What a theme for G. K. Chesterton
or Nietzsche !
FIRST LOVE STILL LINGERS
Interesting Reiics Recently Brought to
Vancouver From the Land I
Where He Perished. j
After being in the possesion of the j
Ihrifty natives of King William's land j
!.'! tliroe-iptarters of a century, a i
large number of interesting relies of .
the ill-fated Sir Joint Franklin polar I
expedition have been brought from ,
the frozen north by Joe Henard, who
Is here after a four years' stay along i
the northernmost coast of the North
American continent, says a Vancouver
(B. C.) dispatch.
Though priceless from a collector's
point of view, the utilitarian value of
the relics is negligible, and they were
obtained by Kenard for- a piece of
lumber worth possibly 20 cents on the
coast.
A few brass buttons among the
relics are believed to have belonged to
lite distinguished leader, though there
Is as yet no positive proof of this.
Hennrd also obtained a number of
primitive scientific Instruments used
by the northern tribes. These will be
sold to various museums and univer
sities for which the explorer has been
collecting ethnological specimens and
data since 11)10. He also brought a
collection of furs worth approximate
ly $!J5,HK1.
Sir John Franklin, with 151 com
panions, sailed into the Arctic in 1S15
to find the northwest passage, anil
was never heard of again. After ninny
reMef expeditions had failed, his fate
was ascertained in IS."!), when bleached
skeletons were found on the trail to
! Hudson bay.
John Burroughs Has Vivid Recollec-
tions of the Little Maid Who I
Won His Heart
John IVurroitghs' recollections of bis '
firs; sweetheart are as fresh and rose
tinted as the checks of the little ladv !
as she ran down the hill to play with
her anient young admirer of live.
"I'nele John nils about her in "John !
liurroughs, l'oy and Man," the sotm
nutobiography which is written by bis
friend, lr. Clara Harms.
"I can see her now, as slej came
running down the hill from the school
house, the cape of her little pink sun-
bonnet fluttering in the breeze," saiil I
Mr. Hurrougbs as he pointed out the
course she took down the road to her
home.
"I must have been between five and
six years old. I had gone over to
neighbor Kartrani's In the West settle
ment with father on a stoneboat drawn
by the oxen. Father probably went
there to help him draw stones for
a new piece of wall they used to ex
change work In that way.
"I can hear her father's voice as
he sent it over the hills to the sehool
liousp he had a prodigious voice
'F.leanor, come home.' And soon she
came Hying down the road to play with
inc.
"We played by the barn on a little
mound of hay. 1 remomhor wo made a
nest there I can see her now as she
took a wisp of hay and pinched it to
gether, making believe it was an egg.
and that she was a hen I can see
the sharp angles of the shining bay
as she tried to shape It like an egg
before she covered it in the nest."
Care of the Rifle.
The sergeant of marines was in
structing his men on the care of small
arias, says an Item In Our Navy. "The
rille is the marine's best friend," he
Eaid. "He must never neglect. tt. lie
must treat it as he treats his wife and
wipe It over with au oily rag twice a
day."
France and Scotland 0 ice Allies.
French tnlluonce is very marked in
a number of Scotch words, which is
not very surprising In view of the, fact
that from the early part of the Four
teenth century until the accession of
James VI to the English throne, France
and Scotland were allies.
