But though Mr. Fox was clever, he was this time not as clever as Mr. Bear, for Mr. Bear knew all the time that Mr. Fox was watching him. For some time he had seen Mr. Fox scudding along behind the bushes every time he went out for honey and knowing that Mr. Fox was up to something, Mr. Bear did not go near the place where he really did find honey. "I do believe that sly fellow Is trying to find out where my store of honey comes from and then help himself," said Mr. Bear. "Now. If that is rtliat he Is an to. I will Boon find out." That was tile reason Mr. Bear carried u Jar of honey hidden uuder one haggy urn, the morning he went to the tree and. as Mr. Fox thought, took out some honey.

Kven when a man's office force consists only of s stenographer and an office boy, their weekly stipend should be placed In an envelope In this way. The man who pays his employees by dealing out the required amount from his pocket is certainly behind the time and decidedly Inconsiderate. It Is likewise a custom In business that the amount an employee receives shall be more or less confidential, unless the employee wishes to make It otherwise, and the amount Is therefore not written on tlie outside of the envelope. The woman In the home who employs several servants should be similarly considerate.
