The speaker was Dr. Simms Reid. who is the author of several scientific management textbooks. "As hidebound as the diver," Dr. Reed pursued.

His Only Guide.?The distinguished and well-beloved bishop of a certain southern state is so absent-minded that his family is always apprehensive for his welfare when he is away from them. Not long ago, while making a journey by rail, the bishop was unable to find his ticket when the conductor asked for it. "Never mind, bishop," said the conductor, who knew him well, "I'll get it on my second round." However, when the conductor passed through the car, the ticket was still missing. "Oh, well, biehop, it will be all right if you never find it!" the conductor assured him. "No, it won't, my friend," contradicted the bishop.

The first part of the obituary of a prominent citizen had been dumped in the forms and the next handful of type come off a galley describing a recent fire. It read like this: "The pallbearers lowered the body to the grave and as it was consigned to the grave there were few if any regrets, for the old wreck had been an eyesore to the town ror years, ur course there was individual loss, but that was fully covered by insurance." The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary that way because the lamented partner of her Joys and sorrows owed him five years' subscription.? Exchange.

"When she came in just now she told me I ought to roname my scales the Ambuscade brand." "Well, why?"

Why He Was Proud.?A teacher in the McKinley school building in Muncie last spring offered a prize to the pupil who would kill the most flies. The little boys and girls who were under this teacher's special charge at once became the envy of all the other pupils whose teachers were not in the prize-giving business. One day Donald, who is eight and under the tutelage of the "prize"' teacher, said in a discouraged, tone to a playmate, Charlie, who is in another room: "I just know I'll never win that prize. I can't find any flies over at our house." "Then you'd just better come over t* our house," said Charlie boastfully, "we've got millions of 'em."

I ( THE DEATH HOUSE. ? i One Who Hat Been There Tellt of the < Last Momenta of the Condemned. < Lieutenant Charles Becker, former- 1 ly of the New York police force, was 1 electrocuted early Friday morning in ' the death chamber at Sing Sing prison. Roland B. Molineaux was tried 1 for murder, convicted and spent sev- ' eral months in the death house, an 1 occupant of one of the little cells 1 where Becker spent his final hours of I life. Molineaux wrote of his expe- 1 rlences there in a book, "The Room ' With the Little Door," published by 1 Dillingham. He gives this descrip- 1 tion of a man's last day ana nigm, the few remaining hours before the 1 little door opens to admit him to the ' execution chamber: There are unwritten laws and can- 1 ons for all important occurrences in the death chamber. I do not mean ( the prison rules; but the way "we" 1 have of doing things. For instance, 1 the new arrival, after he has passed 1 through all formalities at the officials' hands, and they are many, is initiated by "us" on the first night passed in our society. This is an ancient and honorable custom, and like all initiations, a secret. These fixed ceremonies occur all through his long and brutal life in the death chamber. Long, for even a short stay in it makes him old; 1 brutal, because his punishment is? death. Is that not enough? And to add thereto years of solitary confine- i ment is to kill him not once, but over I and over again. The system is all wrong. Oh, the years in the Death chamber! The loneliness, the quiet Hell must be a quiet place. When at last it is drawing to a 1 close, when the governor has refused to interfere, the officials proceed in 1 this manner: On Saturday the "fortunate one" on stepping from his bath J nnll thn nriA 19 U1UCICU 1UIV a lit n wm M?V W-W next to the "little door" leading to the execution chamber. Here he receives everything new; new bedding, new clothes from head to foot, and then his knicknacks, pipe, tobacco, boxes, books and the package of letters from home, ragged and blurred from reading and re-reading; all have been carefully searched. He receives something else, for this change in itself is his notice that one week from the following Monday he will be moved again. No questions are ever asked; he has seen it all before; but should he ask, the only reply will be, "I don't know." From that moment a certain unwritten etiquette among us is never violated. His own way in everything as far as we can possibly comprehend it, is our law. Does he ask for a song I or story, his demand is acquiesced with at once. Will he play checkers? I He may choose his opponent, and he i will always win. We send him our J oranges, the top layer from the box [ of cigars one has purchased. We do i anything, everything we can to please 1 him. Has there been a quarrel be- 1 tween him and another, it is com- ] pletely forgotten. On his part, he ; must make the ghastly regulation < jokes during the week. These are two < in number, one with the keeper about 1 the new suit of clothes: "I suppose i you will be wearing this week after 1 next." Number two is with the bar- < ber: "Don't forget to cut my hair short on top." From now on the I "death watch" (two keepers) sits in < front of his cage every night. During i this week occurs the greatest horror i we are called upon to bear, i. e., to 1 hear the last farewell of our com- < panion to mother, wife, sister or child. | While listening to their cries we an- l ticipate the agony in store for those i we love. My heart bleeds when I i remember what I have heard in the < death chamber. It is unspeakable. I 1 cannot write of it I Then comes the last night. Every- i thing must be done very exactly now. 1 Our code prescribes for everything; t nothing must be omitted, no custom ] may be violated. The early evening < passes as usual. Generally he asks for songs, perhaps he will sing one J himself. That is as it may be. But i at midnight the last rites among us of i the death chamber take place. The 1 keeper comes to my cell carrying, . perhaps, the little paper box my de- i parting friend has kept his tobacco 1 in so long; one that he made and decorated himself. "Keep that to remember me by," I hear from the direction of the little door. "Thank you," I reply. "Good-by. I hope you have luck and get out," is the next part of the ritual. I must respond, "Thank you. Goodby and God bless you." This is repeated with each one separately. He gives everything away, books, pipe and all. For six months he has just been turning over in his mind just what treasure each of his companions shall receive when the last night comes. The responses never vary. They are now as they were ten years ago; they will be the same twenty years from now if that hell on earth is still in existence. No one speaks to him or to any one else after that He is reading and rereading each of those letters for the last time and destroying them. We hear him tearing them up one by one. "Swish, swish, swish." Then it is quiet, very quiet in the death cham- i ber. I am not sleepy; the other fellows do not seem to be sleepy. They are reading. I sit up and write this; tomorrow I will write the other half. I have often read in the newspapers of the supposed meal partaken of by the departing guest "furnished from the warden's table." No newspaper reporter seems able to resist a description of the last breakfast, and no two papers ever published the same one. Did the wretch gorge himself to the extent indicated, indigestion and i not electricity would carry him off, and justice be cheated. No, he is not even stimulated to the extent of a cup of coffee, and for a good reason; a full stomach is not a good conductor. You will read that "the man was indifferent." I tell you he was glad 4 a il'PUn 4 m.wln n/t trmiKIn '* lu gu, i luii lie- maui iiu uuuuic. Why should he? "Our horror," how we are affected by our companion's death, is portrayed. As a matter of fact, we envy him. Anything:, everything is better than existence in the death chamber. During the night, if you have lain awake, and one has been known to be so foolish, you may have felt a very slight vibration, perhaps it is imagination; perhaps it is the dynamo. If you have slept, and do not hear the death-watch draw down the curtains in front of all the cells when the night outside turns gray, you will surely be awakened by the noise of many feet. [t is the priests who have entered. Their ordinary shoes on the flagging if the corridor sound like thunder, Dei thunder moving away. Now it sub- 1 ddea to the murmuring of Latin pray- F srs. As you Me in your cell (the 5 drawn curtains make it resemble a ( little box) wide awake, you know that ( the last confession is being made, the > last sacrament is being administered. | This is another reason why no break- f fast is given to the traveler. I saw { It all one morning; the curtain was I not quite down to the floor. I made dei myself as flat as possible. I saw the ?'t priest bless and kiss him; hold up ork the cross before his eyes; bid him aft have faith, and then back out of the cell. "He," who is soon to be "it," followed. Then I heard the proces- g. don march rapidly into the next llc< room. "Bang!" said the hungry little c,t door as it closed. T0 What happens in there, and how it sal felt three minutes later, I cannot tell fra you; but I came very near finding spt out. Will you believe me that this All u 1 Ano? Vnil fplloWS Ollt- .

A* I British People Must Save Great Sum i to Make Good the Waste. Ag British statesmen have been anxiously exhorting the public to save. The war j obliges the government to borrow at Ag the rate of more than Ave billions a A 1 Ae year, whereas the amount of capital A* saved by the British people for invest- \ ment in securities of all kinds had been Ar in normal time only one and one-half A * to two billions a year. How, asked ( Premier Asquith, in a recent speech In ( Guildhall, could a people suddenly and I enormously increase their power of " expenditure, especially as the great ] emergency which made it necessary for Au the government to borrow heavily was ^ at the same time operating to derange j finance, commerce and Industry? He Au considered the possibilities of borrow- I Aij ing abroad and found that the amount Au of capital available abroad would be al- i most insignificant in proportion to the Au amount required. He dismissed also ( the preposterous thought that Great Britain could liquidate her enormous foreign investments, amounting per- Ba haps to twenty billion dollars?capital t - ... Ba employed an over me wuriu in every ? kind of wealth-producing enterprise. The rate at which fixed capital can i be liquidated is after all very limited. 1 As the rate of Interest rises in Europe ^ holders of American bonds and shares ( that yield lees will sell them and re-in- Bi< vest the proceeds in war loans. That j takes place automatically and slowly. , But if Great Britain undertook con- j certedly and by wholesale to convert Bil her foreign investments into liquid capital, that is, into money or war j goods, she would cause the world to Bit suspend'payment She would not get ^ the money and she would stop the aup- f ply of gooda She is in the position of Bo a. person who, as an investor, owns the Bo bonds of a great department store and Bo who, in spite of that fact, is obliged to j pay cash over the counter for goods, t |ust as any other customer does. If the Bo owner of the bonds and shares of a Bl? lepartment store would propose to ( take the goods oft the shelves of the Br store without paying for them, that ^ would end the business and destroy the 8 ?arning power of their own capital. Br That is England's position. She has ' tremendous investments in the means * of the world for producing and distrlb- j oting goods, but as a consumer of these Br ?oods she must pay for them, as every- ^ oody else does, in other goods, in credit s or in money. Ordinarily she pays in Br ?oods. But now the account is run- Bu ling more heavily against her than at my time in her economic history. She f is buying from the world on account of the war, two or three billion dollars' Ca worth of goods more than she is able c Po to sell to the world in spite of the war, ^ md the state of the trade balance be- jiween England and the other countries, Ca is Mr. Asquith said, affords grounds * perhaps not for anxiety, but for seri- ^ ous thought. $ The miracle to be performed is that Cii i people who normally save only one j md one-half to two billions a year ^ shall find five or six billions a year to t lend to their government for war. Mr. ?.c Pic iVsquith could only see one way. There f is but one way. After having borrowed Coi what they can abroad, the British peo- Coi pie must save the rest. Therefore, as ? Mr. Asquith said, the people must di- q01 ninish their expenditures, from the rich g who should dispense with man ser- > Coi yants and other forms of luxury, down ^ to the very poor. Everybody can save y something. Coi Now abruptly the government gets > pack its own advice. The virtue of ^ thrift can be practiced by a govern- c ment as well as by its subjects. In the 8 tiouse of lords Viscount Middleton has _ * Cot moved a resolution that the government should take immediate steps to Coi reduce the "civil expenditures" of the C?oi government, which in 20 years have in- ? creased from one billion to three billion lollars annually. Civil expenditures Coi pmbrace the cost of old age pensions. > unemployment insurance, labor exchanges, social uplift, education and De Administration. The resolution was D(* Adopted, after "efficient" had been sub- De 3tituted for "immediate," and the pur- t Do pose at least was served that the gov ?rnment was put on notice to set an ^ ?xample in thrift. Dtj Never wa3 the necessity for saving 30 great, so imperative and relcntlers is in Europe at this time, being, in r fact, no less important than valor; Dr xnd never perhaps in a thousand years r was thrift less fashionable in the world than in the years just preceding the p war. Individuals, corporations and governments were all extravagant. Ei< Private and public expenditures were 1 limited only by the means, and .as the px means were enormously greater than ( ever before in the world's history, and { multiplied faster, expenditures may be 1 3aid to have been until now unlimited. There is almost no measure of what p^ people can save, that is, do without, pj when they begin to try. That is be- Fif cause they have never tried since the j present standards of production were 'j set. The British people may be able j to double, even to treble, the difference 1 LM. between what they consume and what Ft they produce. That is capital. It is p^ perfectly feasible. Any prosperous 3 people could do it under sufficient in- Eo centive, because in normal times the ? r r percentage of production saved is very j small. An overwhelming majority of Fr the j>eople in this world still consume < all they produce from year's end to j year's end, and in Great Britain they Fr had got into the habit of consuming 3 more and looking to the government for the rest.?New York Times.
