I,
"I don't like women in 00 office,"
said Mr. lSehb, of Alussrs. Grayling
and Webb, gun and armament mak-
ers.
"I clo," Mr. Grayling replied, "for
positions of teust., at least, All wo-
men are unscrupulous in business,
and if you want to be quite time
that your cashier won't protest when
anked. to rob a customer, let that
cushier he a woman."
Me. Grttyling being the senior part-
ner, the argument caused, and :Mss
Janet Bruce was appointed rash ler,
Mr. Webb alone excepted, everybody
in the Waco 500med to like her. She
was a very eapahle bookkeeper, a
"lightning calculator," punctual,
hard-working, obliging, and never Ill.
Besides which, she was a picture -
but that's by the way. She had not
yet, however, been put to the Su-
preme test. Mr, (Grayling had trem-
bled with rage when he had discov-
erod that a former cashier -a milksop
of a man -had deliberately thrown
hundreds of pounds away by telling
customers of mistakes • in their ac-
counts. Was this young lady super-
ior to ,such foolishness?
Mr. Grayling's faith in woman's
"smartness" received a rude shock
ono moaning when his new cashier
came to Jilin with a cheque and
statement of account from Messrs.
Deakins, Limited, of London.
"There's a simple mistake of a
figure 1 in this account, sir," sh
began. "IL's in the third column of
pounds, so it .maiiies a difference o
a hundred pounds. Shall I send th
cheque back, or ask Deakins to roc
tify the error next time they r
mit?"
"Have they sent £1.00 too much
or too little?" asked Mr. Grayling,
cautiously.
"Too much," was the answer,
"Is it a mistake in addition, o
subtraction, or calculation of dis
count, or what?"
"In the discount."
"Ah! Then, do you know, young
lady, that although they would dis-
cover a mis16130 in the addition
whenever they balanced their books
a miscalculation of discount woul
probably never be noticed after the
have once passed the month's ac
count?"
"Well?" said Janet, raising her
eyes in surprise.
"Well -well what?" roared Mr,
Grayling. "]Save you no common-
sense? Do you suppose other people
return our money when we make
mistakes? 1 thought you were a bus-
iness woman! Go back to your desk,
and do what reason -if you've got
any -tolls you to dol"
II.
Without another word, Janet left
her master's eineo. To her typist.
she dietated this letter':
"Messrs, Deakins. Limited, London.
"Gentleumen,-11'o beg to return
your favor of yesterday, with remit
tnnce, as you have made an error
in the discount. the amount clue to
us being just £100 less than you
have sent."
She signed and posted the lotter
herself; then she wafted for th
storm. It came tho same day, when
Mr. Grayling was endorsing the
cheques anti bills which wero being
paid into the bank.
"I don't see Deakins' cheque
among
he said to Janet.
"Where is it?"
"In the post, o1 ire way back,"
said Janet, with apparent uncon-
cern,
Mr. Grayling flushed with anger
and jumped from his chair.
"You don't mean to tell 010 —".
"That I used my reason -such as I
have," said Janet. "Yes; I followed
your instructions precisely."
Mr. Grayling bit his lip.
"I sec," ho said. "Very well. Now
you can follons these instructions:
Look out for another berth, and clear
out of this by Saturday week. I
don't think you'll suit mo,"
"And 1 don't, think," said Janet,
"that -you'lll suit me."
Two days later Mr. Grayling was
filed with joy on opening another
letter from Messrs. Deakins, of Lon -
MIEN OF WEALTH IN LONDON.
Mon Who Owned 250 Millions Be
twee» Them.
American milllnnairos have been
as thiek as black berries in London,
l.ngland, recently. For instance
five mull,! -int 11ionairee slept at
Claridge's Hotel recently. Practical-
ly the whole of the first floor was
given over to these American repre-
sentatives of the Mouse of Mammon,
The millionaires who inscribed their
names 00 the hotel register were:
Mt'. William Rockefeller, vice-presl-
dent of the Standard Oil Company,
and railway magnate, whose fortune
is estimated, at $100,000,000.
Mr'. George Westinghouse, the in-
ventor and proprietor of the famous
Westinghouse air brake, who is
wo•lh $50,000,000,
Mr,- George Jay Could, banker and
railway *Avner, worth $50,000,000.
Mr, Cornelius Vanderbilt, railway
magnate and inventor, worth $1.0,-
000,000.
Mr. harry Payne Whitney, banker
and financier, $10,000,000.
.A. very simple sant in addition
will demonstrate that the elevator
boy at Claridge's has enjoyed the
novel sensation of hoisting a quin-
tet
uin
tet of capitalists representing about
$250,000,000,
Though they occupied the entire
first floor the members of this mil-
lionaire quintet, a word fro)
whom would shake the bourses of
the world, led the -simplest of lives
at Claridge's. They entertained lit-
tle, had few visitors, and paid few
Calls. So exclusive, so terribly se-
lect, was this little coterie of Oroes-
0505 that except for a daily drive
in the park and a little shopping
their days passed without event.
These millionaires made no attempt
at a lavish display. Apparently they
o went to the other extreme and be-
t came adepts in the fine art of cut-
ting down expenses. The wives of
e these mighty milli0unires passed
e- through the stately corridors of
Claridge's wearing the plainest of
gowns, while the simplest of menus
wore adopted by the millionaires
themselves. Twice a day they met
at the table d'hote. A simple little
r dense' of a few courses was their
favorite meal -altar soup, a sole, a
little game, and sweets. No Ameri-
can dishes were server]. Little wino
was taken, Air. Rockefeller's bever-
age being milk.
Conversation at these meals was
limited to discussions regarding tho
t1 weather. Never by any chance slid

ONE ROOM'S RENT.
London Holds the Record for
Costly Sites.
For tho widening of Piccadilly the
London County Council has been for
some time negotiating the purchase,
of a strip of land trotting Piccadilly
and St. ,James street. The area,
which is of course built upon, con-
tains about 1,200 square feet, and
the priceagreed upon to be paid is
over $200,000. This works out to
about $175 a square foot, or the
enormous sum of nearly $7,500,000
per acre. It probably constitutes a
record as the highest -priced spot on
earth, but as the sum includes com-
pensation -for disturbance and dam-
ages, the purchase cannot be tam-
perod With the prices recently paid
for sites in the city,
Cornhill is the highest rented spot
on earth. A single room was let
not long ago for between $10,000
and $15,000 a year, In the west
end a small shop with baeements
fetches over $5;000 a year in Bone]
street, and the remainder of the
house lots at proportionate stuns.
The rateable value of London is
about $200,000,000, .of which sunt
$90,000,000 is represented by the
