Great Demand For Wool.

The Roanoke Mineral Wool Company
is crowded with orders, representing
the country from Waco, Texas. to Chi
cago, and Washington city to Denver,
Colorado. About fourty-one people are
now on the pay roll, including several
women engaged in the manufacture of
bags for the shipment of wool. Hereto
fore bags were purchased in New York,
but the company ascertained that they
could be made here as cheaply and at
the same time afford employment to
more home people; hence the change.
1t is not improbable that the capacity
OF the present plant may be dou bled
soon to meet the increasing demand for
wool.

CHAPTER XIV.
A KIND RELATIVE

Mr.. Bernard, learning that had no
means, advanced me few dollars,
which he said would be deducted from
my weekly salary as could spare It.
de aided me, too, in securing place to
lodge, and even took the trouble on
himself to go with me and see person
ally that | was properly situated. He
was exceedingly considerable and kind,
| thought, and contrasting the warm
interest he manifested in my behalf
with the heartless indifference his wife
had shown, | was forced to give him a
much higher place in my esteem, and
already l felt a great liking for him. l
had known so little kindness that was
inclined to think great deal of a kind
act, however insignificant, and was
apt to magnify it, and to exalt the
actor, far beyond reason.
Mr.. Bernard not only saw me COM
tortably lodged, but the following
morning he came to conduct me to his
place OF business. His store was an ex.
tensive one, such as had never seen or
dreamed of, and when | entered it and
glanced over the vast floor, literally
packed with goods and people, nv
heart sank and kind of terror seized
me. lnever had so forcibly realized my
insignifcance.
What" ! wondered, could I do in
all that hurry and hustle? What kind Of
showing would make, in my clumsy,
awkward ignorance, among that army
of quick, bright girls and women who
seem to be perfectly at home and at
ease there?"
Mr.. Bernard, all unmindful of nv
thoughts, and of my sinking heart and
quaking limbs, led the way through the
crowded store, simply telling me to fol.
low. At last we came to his private of.
flee, where he told me to be seated
Then he removed his coat and hat, and
seating himself at his desk, began tc
open and read the letters, great pile o.
which lay before him. For almost an
hour, think, he was engaged thus
paying no attention whatever to me
and apparently having forgotten that
People's voice. [volume] (Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas) 1890-1917, 1892-10-14
Grecian Art.

1t is probable that the visitor to the
exposition will have an opportunity Of
seeing more extensive and finer exhi-
bition Of ancient Greek art than it has
heretofore been possible to see outside
of Greece. P. Cavreading, director gen.
eral Of Grecian antiquities, has written
that the Grecian government has &C
cepted the invitation to participate In
the exposition, with the understanding
that it will be represented only by me-
MORALS of its antiquities. Charles Wal
stein, director Of the American School
of Classic Studies at Athens, states that
the Grecian government has agreed to
make and send to the exposition casts
of the principal works of ancient art
now in Greece, together with maps, dia-
grams and photographs. To these will
probably be added casts, and perhaps
some Of the originals, Of specimens Of
classic Greek art which are now distrib
uted throughout Europe.
