The Missionary Enterprise
says: “A man long noted for
his intemperate habits was in
duced by the Rev. John Abbot
to sign the pledge “in his own
way,” which he did in these
words: “I pledge myself to
drink no intoxicating drinks
for one year.” Few believed
he would keen it, but near the
end of the year he again ap
peared at the temperance meet
ing without once having touch
ed a drop. “Are you going to
sign again?” ask Mr. Abbot.
“Yes,” replied he, “if I can do
it in my own way,” and accord
ingly he wrote, “I sign this
pledge for nine hundred and
ninety-nine years.”
‘A fed daye after this he call
ed upon the tavernkeeper, who
welcomed him back to his old
haunt.” “0 landlord,” said the
man, as if in pain, “I have such
a lump oil my left side!"
“That’s because you have stop
ped drinking,” said the land
lord. “You won’t live long if
you keep on.” “Will drink
take that lump away?” “Yes,
and if you don’t drink you’ll
soon have a lump on the other
side. Gome, let‘s drink toget
her,” and he poured out two
glasses of whiskey. “I think
I won’t drink,” said the former
inebriate, “especially if keep
ing the pledge will bring on an
other lump. This one isn’t
very hard to bear, after all.”
With this he drew out the lump
—a bag of money—from his
side pocket, and walked off
leaving the landlord to his own
reflections.”

JAIL AN ALASKA EDITOR
Louis Klopsch of Fairbanks,
was sentenced to serve six
months in jail and pay a fine of
three hundred dollars on a
charge of contempt of court.
He was accused of publishing
articles in his paper, facts that
reflected on the court. One of
Ihc articles in question con
cerned the Gadzow matter and
another one referred to the
handling of the Washington
Alaska bank by the receiver, F.
G. Noyes. The latter article was
entitled “Si Reid’s Ghost.” The
convicted man is • conferring
with his attorneys and it is be
lieved that an appeal will be
taken. In the meantime he has
been surrendered by his bonds
men and is languishing in jail.
Several prominent attorneys
were active in the defense of
Klopsch.

Tn “Bohemian Days In Fleet Street"
the following story of Charlie Wil
liams, the war correspondent, appears:
“Charlie Williams could have given
Baron Munchausen a stone and n beat
ing. lie spoke with a rasping North
of Ireland accent, and Ills campaign
anecdotes gained greatly by the stolid,
matter of fact manner in which they
were narrated. I recall now one of his
campaign reminiscences. It is a quaint
experience of a correspondent under
1 fire.
“ ‘I had got under cover of a big
bowlder and had tethered my horse
beside me. 1 was just munchin’ a
besliit, when a shell burst on the rock
nil' shot the nosebag right off my
charger. He had shoved his ould head
out of cover.’
“ ‘And you?’ asked Pearse.
“ ’I Just went on munchin’ my beskit.’
“ ‘But.’ suggested Dunning, ‘If tho
shell took away the nosebag it ought
to have carried away the beast's head
as well.’
’“It did.' replied Willia'Str, with the
utmost sang froid.”
Watch the Clock.
If the passion for efficiency accom
plishes nothing more it will—indeed, it
has already—upset one of the most sa
cred tenets that altruistic employers
ever put into the constitution and by
laws for the observance of employees.
That tenet is. Don't watch tho clock.
It was hoped, of course, that if em
ploy cos could be made to forget the
j clock they might also forget to go
! home at the expiration of the time for
j which they were paid.
Efficiency now makes the revolution
ary demand that you should never take
your eyes from the clock. To be a
topnotchor in efficiency you must go
1 even further. You must get a stop
j watch with split second hands and
make sure that each minutest divi
sion of time lias assigned to it a pre
cise and particular action, being or
state. Watch the clock, my hoy
watch the clock if you want to make
a success in this world.—Ellis O. Joues
in Lippincott's.
Genius.

Demoerat.
