Are References Valuable?,
By Eleanor Gilbert.
e EFERENCES prove nothing,"
R gald the late Joseph Pulitzer,
“but lack of references proves
o great deal”
Which may be small econsolation for
the worthy bul inexperienced young
woman who Is trying for a job a little
beyond her reach For curiously, al
though employers insist that references
don't matter very much, nevertheless,
they Pave a somewhat inconsistent wa
of demanding them The words of praise
are discounted, but if there be a lack
of such testimonials, how that is darwn
mereilessly into the Nmelight!
How can references be used to be of
some value? My own opinion is abso
lutely against he type of written refer
ences addressed “To whom it may ¢ m
cern.” and which the erstwhile employee
ecarries proudly In her handbag for
weeks, or months, or even years, if it
happens to be a particularly saccharine
morsel Such hand-carried references
are only necessary in the event that you
go to another city or ecountry, vhm;
thers would obviously be mldulhhi
delay it each prospective employer M‘
to write to the previous ones for !dor—‘
mation |
But where your search for work is
econfined to your own city, better let the
employer make the inguiry, or make a
separate inquiry yourself when the oec
casion demands Then you are lkely
to get some really definite word of pos
sible helpfulness Let me [llustrate the
two methods
' Miss Jones leaves the Blank Co, po
‘umy asking for a written reference ere
‘she departs Naturally, every one wish
es the maximum good feeling to exist
at the time, and so Mr Blank sits him
down and dictates a To-whom-it-may
concern letter, wherein he deftly, but
vaguely, indicates that Miss Jones pos
‘nen-ol all the qualifications that will
make her valuable In any job for which
‘sha applies and regretting the eclircum
stances that makes it nocessary for her
to leave the employ of the Blank Co
‘ Miss Jones reads the glittering eulogy
of herself and Is utterly pleased, and
‘Mr Blank is pleased, and they're all
pleased-—-but the letter tells absolutely
nothing about Miss Jones and her abili
ties
Probably a milllon such letters are
written every year and nobody is the
wiser for them though many holders are
highly elated and earry the letter around
until it's threadbare as an anclent
script.
But, supposing when Miss Jones ap
plied for the job of office manager in a
new company, she wrote a letter to her
previous employer, telling him the type
of job she was seeking, and asking him
to write a frank leiter giving his esti
miate of her fitness for the work,
If he actually had a good opinion of
her ability based on former experience
that kind of a reply would impel him
to make a more direct answer. He
would most likely be specific in nami
the qualities Miss Jones possessed whl:g
might make her it for tb‘ Job. Even
ilf he wrote direct to her prospective
employer, and his letter included one or
two frank criticisms, her chances of
getting the job would be greater than
those applicants who presented nothing
but glowing, stereotyped, machine-made
references of an eighteenth ecentury
model.
Today the chlef concern of the em
ployer is to reduce labor turnover-—to
select employees o weu that they won't
have to be fired or desire to go of their
own accord after they've been trained
in. Intelligent references would go a
good‘eway toward reducing turnover
waste.

Nights With Uncle Remus
By JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS.
A Conscript’s Christmas—(Continued).
HE song finished, Danny Lemmaons
T waiked on down the road ahead of
the horse in the most unconcerned
manner, It was part of Captain Mose
ley’'s plan to stop at Mrs. Spurlock’s
and inquire for Israel. This seemed to
be a part of Danny’'s pian also, for he
turned out of the main road and went
ahead, followed by the captain. There
were quite a number of men at Mrs.
Spurlock’'s when Moselay rode up, and
he noticed that all were armed. Some
were standing listlessly about, leaning
against the trees, some were sitting in
various postures, and others were squt
ting around whittling; but all had thair
guns within easy reach. Mrs, Spur
lock was walking about among them
emoking her pipe. By the strained and
awkward manner of the men as they
returned his salutation, or by some sub
tle instinct he could not explain, Cap~
tain Moseley knew that these men were
waiting for him, and that he was their
prisoner. The very atmosphere seemed
to proclalm the fact. Under his very
eves Danny I.emmons changed from a
grinning buffoon into a qulet, self-con
tained man trained to the habit of com
mand. Recognizing the sitaution, the
old soldier made the most of it by re
taining his good humor.
“Well, boys,” he said, flinging a leg
over the pommel of his saddle, I hope
you are not tired waiting for me.” The
men exchanged glances in a curious,
shame-faced sort of way.
“No.” said one; ‘“we was thes a-set
tin' here talkin’ "bout ol' times. We
'lowed maybe you'd sorter git tangled
up on the hill thar, and go Danny Lem
mons, he harked back for to keep a’
eye on you."
There was no ®dsposition on the part
of this quiet group of men to be clam
erous or boastful. There was a certain
shyness in their attitude, as of men |
- willing to apologize for what might seem
to be unnecessary rudeness.
“Tll tell you what,” said Danny Lem
mons, ‘“they ain’t a man on the mount
ing that's got a blessed thing agin you,!
ner agin the tother feller, an’ they
hain’'t a man anywheres aroun’ here]
that's a-gwine to pester you. We never
brung you whar you is; but now thut‘
you're here we're a-gwine to whirl in
an’ ast you to stay over an’' take Christ
mas wi' us, sech ez we'll have. Lord,
yves! a nice time we'll have, es I ain’t
forgot how to finger the flddle-strings.
We're sorter in a quadary,” Danny
Lemmons continued, observing Captain
Moseley toying nervously with the han
dle of his pistol ‘“We don't know
whether you're a-gwine to be worried
enough to start a row, or whether you're
a-gwine to work up trouble.
Meanwhile Danny had brought his long
rifle into a position where it could be
used promptly and effectually. For an
swer Moseley dalsmounted from his
horse, unbuckled his belt and flung it
across the saddle, and prepared to light
his pipe.
“Nom, then' said Danny Lemmons,
*“thes make yourseir at home.”
Nothing could have beerg friendlier
than the attitude of the mountain men,
nor freer than their talk. Captain Mose
ley learned that Danny Lemmons was
acting under the orders of Colongl Dick
Watson, the virile paralytic; that he
and Chhdwick were to be held prisoners
in the hope that Adjutant Lovejoy would
some in search of them—in which event
there would be devolpments of a most
interesting character.
8o Danny Lemmons said, and so it
turned out; for one dav while Moseley
and Chadwick were sitting on the sun
sunny side of Uncle Billy's house, listen
ing to the shrill, snarlin‘f tones of Col
onel Watson, they heard a shout from
the roadside, and behold, there was
Danny Lemmons with his little band
lucortnf Lovejoy and a smal squad of
forlorn- ooklns militia. Lovejoy was
securely bound to his horse, and it may

well be supposed that he did not eut an
imposing flgure. Yet he was undaunt
ed. H> was captured, but not eonquer
ed, His eyes never lost their boldness,
nor his tongue its bitterness. He was
almost a match for Colonel Watson
who raved at all things through the
tremulous and vindictive lips of disease.
The colonel's temper was fitful wut
Lovejoy's seemed to burn steadily.
Moved by contempt rather than caution,
he was economical of his words, Hsten
ing to the shrill invective of the colonel
patiently, but with a curious flicker of
his thin lips that caused Danny Lem
mons to study him lntentlfi,lt was Dan
ny who discovered that vejoy's eyes
never wandered in Polly’s direction, nor
settled on her, nor seemed to perceive
that she was In exisetnce, though she
was mmnf about constantly on the
aimless little errands that keep & eon~
scientious housekeeper busy.
Lovejoy was captured one morning
and Christmas fell the next and it was
a memoralle Christmas to ail concerned.
After breakfast Uncle Billy Powers fm‘
duced his Bible and preached a littls
sermon—a sermon that was not the less
meaty and sincere, not the less wise
and powerful, because the English was
ungramatical and the rhetoric um
After it was over the old man
his throat and remarked:
“Brethren. we're gathered here for to
praise the Lord an' do His will. The
quare times that's come on us has
brung ue face to face with much that is
unseemly in life, an’ likely to fret the
sperit an’ vex the understandin’, Zg
the Almighty is with us, an’ of us,
among us; an’, in accordance wi' the
commands delivered in this Book, we're
here to fortify two souls in the'r choice,
an' to bar testimony to the Word that
makes lawful marrmfig a sacrament.”
With that, Uncle Billy, fumbling in
his coat pockets, produced a marriage
license, called Israel Spurlock and his
daughter before him, and in simple
fashion pronounced the words that made
them man and wife.
‘ The dinner that .followed hard on the
wedding was to the soldiers, who had
been subsisting on the tough rations
furnished by the Confederate commis
saries, by all odds the chief event of the
day. To them the resources of the
Powers household were wonderful in
deed. The shed-room, running the
whole length of the house and kitchen,
was utilized, and the dinner table, which
was much too small to accommodate the
guests, invited and aninvited, was sup
plemented by the inventive genius of
Private Willlam Chadwick, who, in the
most unassuming manner, had taken
control of the whole affair. He proved
himself to be an invaluable aid, and his
good humor gave a lightness and a zest
to the oocasion that would otherwise
have been asadly lacking.
Under his direction the tables were ar
ranged and the dinner set, and when
the politely impatient eom})any were
summoned they found awaiting them a
meal substantial enough to remind
them of the old days of peace and prose
perity. It was a genuine Christmas
dinner. In the center of the table thers
was a large bowl of egg-nog, and this
was flanked and surrounded by a huge
digh full of apple dumplings, a tremen
dous chicken pie, barbecued shote, bar
becued mutton, a fat turkey, and all the
various postures, and others were squat
