Stanford was said to have large interests

greatly advertised $S shoe.
He is great believer in the idea
that manufacturers should have a
personal interest in the condition of
their employees, and feels that If the
idea is carried out to the extent that is
possible, that it will result Ultimately
in the breaking down of the barriers
which have been built up between en-
ployers and those whom they employ.
He believes that the breaking down of
these invisible but strong barriers
would be great thing for erybody
concerned, as it would convince the
workingmen that their employers were
not their enemies, as some of them
seem to think now, but their friends,
with desire to do all for them that
was in their power.
Having strong feelings upon this
point, is only natural that Mr.. Douglas
should give the matter some study and
acquaint himself with the result of the
trials OF such plans In other places. He
is satisfied that the scheme he has Or
iginated is good one, and he has now
put it to practical test.

The Paths We Make.

A foot path is the most human thing
in inanimate nature. Even as the
print of his thumb reveals the old Of
fender to the detective, 80 the path
tells you the sort of feet that wore it
Like the human nature that created it
itstarts out to 60 straight when strength
and determination shape its course,
and it goes crooked when weakness
lays it out. Until you begin to study
them you can have no notion of the
differences of character that exist
among foot paths. One line of trodden
earth seems to you the same as another.
But look. Is the path you are walk
ing on fairly straight from point to
point, yet DETECTED to avoid short rises
and falls, and is it worn to grade?
That is, does it plough deep way thro'
little humps and hillocks something as
a street is cut down to grade. If you
see this path before you, you may be
sure that it is made by the heavy shuttle
of workingmen's feet. A path wavers
from side to side, especially if the
turns be from one bush to ano ther, and
that is only light trail making an
even line of wear over the inequalities
of the ground-that is a path that
the children make. The path made
by the business man-the man who is
anxious to get to his work at one end
of the day, and anxious to get to his
home at the other-is generally good
piece of engineering. This type of man
makes more paths in this country than
he does id any other. He carries his
intelligence and his energy into every
act of life, and even in the half uncon-
scious business Of making his own pri-
vate trail he generally manages to find
the line of least resistance in getting
from one given point to another
