I know a young man who promises
to be a leader in his line who Is as
ijuiet and ;:eatlt'inauly in his methods
as a uiodest w.nuan. lie uever raises
his voice, never g?ts angry. Wheu an
employee needs correcting, instead of I
scolding or nagging he sits right dowu I
and shows him or her just how to do
the thing. He tries to help them out o'
their dltliculty. not to confuse them ]
He does not need to scold, because ev- ]
erybody respects him, admires him
and knows that he is always trying to
do the fair thing, to gine a 6quare deal
that he wauts only what Is just right
aud there Is nothing arbitrary In hi'
methods.
The result Is he does not need tt
storm around his establishment an<:
use abusive, profane language. H
knows there Is a stronger force, a bei
ter way than that. The result Is thai
he has perfect discipline.
Not one would think of taking tulvan
tage of him or trying to deceive him
because he is so kind, square, true.
1 know another man in busines
near by him who adopts just the oppo
site method. He storms and swears
scolds, nags, goes through his estab
Ushment like a bull through a china
shop, making every bo- 1 y feel mean and
disagreeable. Nobody respects him. He
rules by brute force, keeping every
body cowed aud afraid of him. They

No Chance For Him.
Three negro lads met on a street cor
ner one afternoon, and by some queer
freak of Providence each bad just 15
cents. Tliis was considerable for them,
and, beiug so unfortunate as to have
no "craps," it required much serious
deliberation to arrive at just the heat
plan for spending it.
Finally one suggested that they
place their little capital In a poo) and
then, each In turn, guess what was
good to eat, the best guesser to take
all of the money.
This plan met with hearty approval
as each one had ideas on that subject,
and the 45 cents was soon in a pile.
Then the first one guessed.
"Possum, sweet taters an water
melon," he said.
At this the second one reached (low.
and began picking up his nickels, bat
; the third stopped him with: "Hoi" on
I dare! Let dat money 'lone!" To which
I the second replied:
"You think I'ze go In to guess again*
