THE GEORGIAN’S MAGAZINE PAGE It’s a Hard Life No. I—Thomas Lands His First Sum mer Job. With Disastrous Results. By WEX JONES. MY name is Thomas Trvltmoe. I am 21 years old and very ambi tious. 1 hat is why, during the summer, w hile I am not in Yarvard, acquiring . know ledge. I am always hunting up jobs with tile object of acquiring money. Sometimes I think, as we are taught in college, that knowledge is better than money, but not very often. Knowledge will often enable you to cut out your friend with some peach, but nothing will buy her an Ice cream soda except money. However, as I was saying, every sum. mer T hunt up a job that will bring me in a few plunks, as 1 have made up my mind to become a millionaire. People say it's easy after you get -the fl ret thousand dollars, but it seems to me that with a thousand dollars you have more chances to lose your money. Ts you have only $2 you're not asked to in vest i| in lie farms In Greenland or prickly pear farms in Honduras. When you stake' your only thousand dollars and lose it, you’re just as broke as if you'd bet your iaat dollar and lost it. But I must tell you about my first job. I got one as waiter in a. summer hotel. The reason I selected this job was because waiting seemed so easy and I had read waiters made as high as |SO a day in tips. Also when I got the job the boss told me I could wear my waiter's clothes which the hotel provided in the evenings If 1 wanted to go to-a dance. The first evening 1 put on the new evening clothes provided for me and went down to the dining room l had three tables to look after, with about four persons at each table. At high school I had beep noted for my memory. I could recite "Horatius at the Bridge'' without stammering once. So I had no fear about remembering the orders. "Corned beef and cabbage and ' a glass of buttermilk." "T.et her go twice.” "f'lam chowder, stewed rhubarb and vanilla ice cream.” "Huckleberry pie and fried eggs and a cup of coffee." "Crullers for two and a single order of shad me." I kept repeating all these orders over and over to myself on my way back to the kitchen. T gave the order, and the chef, with a wild cry, rushed to the boss, yelling. "Watch him; lie’s crazy; has he a knife?" "What’s the matter?" asked the boss. "He (pointing to me) rushed up to me and yelled through the door. ‘Corned keef and baggage on the ice—clam ehowder—-let-’er-go—stewed pie and rhubarb cream —fried pie and buckle berry eggs - disorder of single shad roe and a cough of cuppee.' " "Take off my clothes.” said the boss WOMEN,AVOID OPERATIONS Many Unsuccessful And Worse Suffering Often Fol lows. Mrs. Rock’s Case A Warning.

OUT in the West, my “own country." down in a deep, green valley, tucked away between hisdi slopes, on whose tops the red deer graze, lucked away where two wild, loud mountain rivers join hands and voices and go jollily on together, there's a bright, green, sun-filled pool set like an emerald, in a stone bottomed. stone walled square. You lit tie maids who have the great, gray ocean to dip your little pink toes in might sniff at my warm, pretty, green pool-—anyhow. 1 know you'll call it dinky—but that’s because you-don't know it.

An> one lose deser . ing of the adjective it would have been h; rd 1o im agine. Mr. Saxe had this morning, pos sibly out of respect for the melancholy occasion, discarded his invariable wear of light gray and was clad in the convention al garb of the city man. w r hich appeared by some subtle process to have trans muted the elusive. un-English element in his appearance to a depressing respecta billty The ladles of the audience for to Rimington this crowd was essentially one in search of entertainment —must have been considerably disappointed In the appearance of the man of whose looks and millions so many flattering and fantastic tales were told No shopkeep er w’ith a comfortable suburban residence from which he sallied forth to church twice o' Sundays at the head of a rising family could have looked more prosaic. Glancing at Saxe where be sat. with head bent over letters that had evi dently been gathered up and carried away from the office from which he had come to perform this public duly. Rimington was forced to acknowledge tn himself that the man was an enigma He did not like him; he could not. for all his effort, achieve anything more than the most chilly of Intellectual faith in him. although Saxe had fulfilled his promise of giving a perfectly lucid and satisfactory explanation of his concern in the night’s tragedy at Tempest street. The financier had indeed he recognized this—treated him with a frankness and a confidence, that might quite excusably have flattered an older and more experienced man. Yet. for all that. Rimington’s abiding impres sion was of something secret and cloae lipped a man of granite, who, in the old phrase, used “words to conceal his thoughts." A Staggering Story. Take the man s explanation of his rea son for asking him to call at Tempest street, for instance • “It’s a fairly staggering story I warn you that," Saxe had said. “It heats me. man of the world that d am I look to you. as Miss Betty’s fiance, to give light on the subject. Why was she in such desperate need for money? You deny that she was but I know that she asked me to lend her two thousand pounds on 9 matter of life and death, and. for all we* know, her acquaintance with FUzstephen may have had Its rise in some such negotiation.

Rimington felt his face redden curiously, as it had not reddened when Saxe had spoken to him a« they sat together in the low- • eilinged room of the shop In Westmin ster. Then he had been almost too stunned to take in the full meaning of this suspicion, so ingenuously admitted But now A stagegrlng story his brain reeled with the shock of it.

Just the same little mermaids that ride the At lan tic's old gray sea-horses. at Weybourne. The various facts ami scenes whirled and shifted in Rimington’s brain lik*» the changing patterns of a kaleidoscope. Betty and that unsavory brute. Eitz stephen! It was unthinkable that there could be any connection between the two. Yesterday he had given the lie direct to Saxe with a good heart' Today? Saxe’s story had been so curiously explicit; how. hearing the girl had been shown upstairs to Eitzstephen’s room by mistake, and knowing the manner of man he was, he had hurried up to intercept a scene. His tongue had drawn a vivid picture for Rimington. the half-intoxicated usurer and the weeping girl facing each other in the lam pH 1 room across a table heaped wdth jewels. “The qreat ruby wai not among them. Mr, Rimington.” Saxe s voice had taken on a curious note when he spoke. “For the great ruby was. as I could plainly see, f«r all her little artifice, in Miss Betty’s hand. Afterward, in my own room, when she thought my attention was otherwise engaged. I saw her. in the mir ror that hangs above my table, slip it Into her bag. That was the reason I re fused to lend her the money that night. Indeed. I could hardly give you a log cal reason why I refused. But I did. I think at the back of my mind there was a fear lest the notes might in any way Incritn- Inate her.” X staggering story. indeed still, so far ap Saxe was concerned a perfectly plausi hie one If Betty could only «i>rak' But Betty's lips were sealed He had seen both Mrs Barringion and the doctor on his visit io Weybourne yesterday.

WHEN a great man leaves hts little home town to visit in a big city he shrinks, and shrinks, and shrinks, until when he enters it he isn’t any bigger than a fly trying to get through a screen door. In the same way some men who are important and of some influence down town shrink, and shrink, and shrink on nearing wife and home until, like the flies, they are so small they could al most creep through a crack when they get there. The description fits Lysander John Appleton, whose words are of some weight down town, and of no weight In his own family. It makes little difference to his wife and daughter that he also has opinions. He is never permitted to air them at home When the spirit of Mental Unrest seises him he is denied the outlet of addressing Uplift clubs and societiee. The best he can do is to chew the end of a stubby little pencil and write his Important Discoveries on the backs of receipted .bills found In his pockets. He recently chewed out the following Definitions of Words and Expressions, which he would disclose to the world if he were only bold enough. Lysander John’# Conclusions, Hospitality—Nothing more than loneliness. Inimitable- A word commonly used to flatter a woman, and which invaria bly plea-ses her. though she doesn’t know what It means. Dim. religious light A poetic and dignified way of saving the windows need washing Endless grind—Expression women use to describe housework, though a more modern expression would be. "The housekeeper's marathon.” Something up his sleeve—An expres sion used to denote all sorts of mys tery. though the only thing any man ever had up his sleeve b? an undershirt that won't conie down. Romantic drama Something tn which ft is impossible to interest any man who has a wife and a lot of children to support. Vivacious—Used to re>fer to those we like In speaking of those we dislike, ■■garruloua" la better. T.ove—That state of mind which changes a young man s idea of music from a steam calliope to a guitar. Mantle of night—Depends upon » man whether it is a night shirt or pajamas. The good old times—-A period many years ago when a woman could get a hired girl for $1.50 a week, and the girl staved with her as long as ten years. Wistful eyed—Of feminine gender only. When a man feels that way he is called a grouch, a beast or a sorehead. Never "wistful eyed.” Hilarity—The sensation a thief ex periences when he reads in the morn ing paper that the dollar watch he stole the night before is valued at five hundred dollars For Protection.
