Promoted.

“My boy,'* said the millionaire who headed the great corporation, "you have worked here faithfully for a good many years. I realize that you have devoted your beßt efforts to our interests, and that our success is in a measure due to your work and that of your fellow employes. Now lam going to do something for you.” “Oh, thank you, sir,” tremblingly replied the man who had been working for years on a salary that waß barely sufficient to enable him to live in decent comfort. "I don’t know how I can find words to fittingly express my gratitude. I can only hope that my work In the future will be such as to convince you that your genrosity Is fully appreciated.” “There, there, don’t worry about that We are going to open a branch in Nevada and I’ve decided to let you be the manager of it. The town to which you are to be sent is a small one, and I understand that it Is not as attractive as some* towns are, but it may grow. In any case, the dry atmosphere out there will be almost sure to relieve you of any catarrhal troubles you may have. You will receive the same salary you are getting now, but it will probably be easy for you to save money, as there will be nothing out there on which your earnings can be spent. I congratulate you on your promotion.”
