MR.. KIRKSEY REPLIES TO 0BSER-
YER.
An Employees Statement-The Key
Always on Hand-Faciiities for
Escape In Case OF Fire Ex-

ceIlent
Mr. r. Bennett. Editor 1.-THE News" Waco
DRAR SlR-We notice an article in
your issue of yesterday from "Obser.
+ YER calling the attention of the pub
lie to the looking of the entrance
door to the work departments up stairs.
The room he refers to is 800 feet long,
one story high, with sixty two windows
on either aide, hung with weights, 80
that any child can raise or lower them
At either end of the room there is an
exit which is at all times open. In
the centre Of the room we have p!ac-
ed thirty foot exit that is used for
no purpose except in case OF fire. We
venture to say that there is not n
building In Waco that is better ar
ranged for fire escape than our build
ing, or better arranged for the com
fort of our employees. We lock the
door TO the entrance down stairs to
keep visitors out and prevent employ
ees from passing in and out during
working hours, which is the custom Of
all manufacturing establishments
throughout the country. We aim to
be just to our employees and believe
that the large majority of them will
give us that credit We are weekly
distributing among working people OF
Waco a psy roll at the rate of $780,
coo per annum, and regret to see a
disposition on the part of any citizen
OF Waco to place us before the pubic
az being oppressive or just to our
help. Truly yours.

AN EMPLOYEES STATEMENT.
To the Editor
AS an employe OF the S!ayden
Kirk,ey " oolen Mills desire to say
IN reply to the communication printec
in your paper yesterday afternoon
signed "Observer" that the charge
that it is some times halt an hou
before the door keeper can be found
and the door unlocked, that tho EN-
ployes are locked In, etc, is not a.
true know that the person who
carries the key 10 the door up stairs il
foreman Of that department, as is alst
the person who carries the key to TIT
door down stairs. Being ono of ih,
employees Of the Woolen Mills whC
desires to work while can, think i
is good thing for us all that the
door is locked in the mornings at 7;ls
and at O'Clock in the afternoon, anC
il Observer does not like the idea o
such thing, and is an employe o
the mi !, or has any of his people EN-
| ployed in the mill, think it would b
! best to have them quit work, and h
will then not be compelled to lool
after the interest Of any of the EN-
poyes, aud he can rest assured tina
! we, the employees, are amply able tt
| look after our own interest and do no
wish him to lend his assistance towsr,
breaking down any Of the rules o
customs of the mill, but to the con
| trary much prefer chat he have moth
ing whatever to do with it, as he
surely not In position to know, an,
does not know anything of the condi
ton of affairs IN the mill, else h
would have written a very ditferen
article. But | presume he was per
suaded to do SO by Others who desir
to have things their own way so tina

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard
themselves as inventors, hut almost
everybody has been struck, at one
time or another, with ideas that seem
ed calculated to reduce some Of tue
little frietions of life. Usually such
ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
"Why don't the railroad company
make its car windows so that they
caa be slid up and down without
breaking the passengers backs?' ex-
claims the traveller IF l were run
ming tue road I would make them in
such way"
"What was the man that made this

stove, or he would have known how it
ought to have been fixed"

tons that wouldn't slip out, or break
of, or gouge out tie back Of my neck. =
And then the various suffers forget
oil about their grievances and begin
to think Of something else If they
would slt'down at the next convenient
opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans AMI collar but.
tons into practical shape, and then
apply for patents, they might find
themselves as independently wealthy
as the man who invented the iron uln-
brella ring, or tho one who patented
the Fifteen puzzle.

PRIZES on PATENTS
How to Get Twenty-Five

9he Winner has Clear Gift Of Small

That May Bring Them in

huAAu UN AtAI ~ tIttAG - ca = -AAh =
hundred dollars? II you would, read
carefully what follows and you may
see way to do i.
The Press Claims Company deYotes
much attention 10 patents. It has
handled thousands Of applications for
inventions, but it would like 10 handle
thousands more. There is plenty Of
inventive talent at large in this cour-
Try, needing nothing but encourage
inent 10 produce practical results.
That encouragement The Press Claims
Company proposes 10 give.
NOT so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people IS an
sppallingly formidable thing. The
idea is that an inventor must be a
natural genius, like Edison or Bell;
that he must deyote years 10 del,ing
in complicated mechanical problems
and that be spend fortune on deli
cate experiments before he can get .
new device to patentable degree Of
perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires TO dispcl It desires 10
get into the head Of the public clear
comprehension Of the fact that it is
not the great, complex and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns
to their authors, but the little. simple,
and cheap ones-tl,c things that seem
so absurdly trivial that the average
CITIZEN would feel somewhat ashamed
of bringing them 10 tie attention Of
the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he las
received from the patents on all his
marvellous inventions have not been
sufficient to pay the cost Of Lis cxper-
iments. But the man WHO conceived
the idea Of fastening lit Of rubber
cord to child's ball, SO that it would
come back 10 the hand when thrown,
made fortune on his scheme. The
modurn sewing-machiuc is a miracle
Of ingenuity-the product Of The toll
of hundreds Of busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years. but tie whole
brilliant result rests upon the simple
device Of putting the eye of the needle
ut the point instead Of at the other
end.
