ED. FITZPATRICK CLIMBS THE

And Sways With the wind at Top Of
the Flag Epie.

Ed Fitzpatrick proved himself TO be one
of the nerviest men in Wichita yesterday,
when he climbed the willowy-like flag
pole on the dome Of the court house and
attached a new rope in place of the one
which had rotted away. Hundreds of
people left their Offices and stores to
watch the feat which nevertheless. was
anything else but a pleasant thing 10
look at. considering the danger of the
venture. The pole is 1S5 feet above the
ground. Should person lose his hold
nothing could arrest his descent short OF
the ground. Fitzpatrick did not seem TO
heed the danger. He climbed out Of the
little window in the top most height Of
the tower. and with one end of the rope
in his teeth, almost recklessly &scended

weight and she wind, Swayed 70 and fro.
and SO hazardous was his position at one
time that men had To turn their face

feat all the way through. said that Fitz-

fear. He not only did his work well and
dexterously. but after he had fastened
the rope he climbed around the pole once
or twice while il was swaying in the
wind There are Deweys and Hobsons
and FGnstons but none OF them have
performed a greater feat Of reckless dar-

ladies that wear those pretty dresses
ever think of the poor, tired fingers that
make them? Oh, ladies, if you could only
see some Of the sewing girls when they
come home (to a cherries, cold place
they call home your hearts would melt in
pity. Last week they were living in
hopes they would get little more Sat
urday night as it was SO near Thanks
giving. But they only got two dollars
out fthe ten or fifteen that were COM
ing to them. When they ask for more
(and there they have to earn their money
twice, for it is harder to ask for 1t than
TO work for IT., they are told: mo; our
customers do not pay up, so 1 can not
pay you" When your dress is done 1t IS
sent to your home You think: 'Oh, well,
there is no hurry about paying for the
making" If you only knew the misery
it cost you would pay up. We can get
nothing on time. Rent, coal and what we
eat is all cash. Dear ladies, please help
US by paying up. We don't think for one
moment it IS because you can't pay. No;
you get your pretty dress; you are so
worked up in it you forget. You don't
mean any harm; only just a little
thoughtless. That is all. With many of
YOU I fear the pretty dress is your idol.
Let us hope not. We are ell in Gods
hands. Let us trust him. Though cold
and hungry 1 can and do trust him.
But the poor girls are not the only
ones. Look at the boys. Many of them
are struggling along on starvation wages,
many of them have to make the living,
such as it is. But because they are boys
they are expected to work for little or
nothing. Now every man knows, if he
cares to stop and think, a boy in his
teens will eat as much as a man. 1
would give anything if 1 could give my
boy one full meal a day. Now, when
they are asked to do a mans work, and
! most Of them do, are they not entitled
to a mans wages? I have often heard it
said: 1T is so hard to find a good, trusty
| boy" Try paying him wages so he can
live You will soon see the difference.
Everything is prospecting, everybody,
everything but boys wages. You bust
ness men do not mean to wrong the poor
boy 1t is only custom. Perhaps you
often feel sorry for them: Will ask them
to go to your church and Sunday school
to keep them off the street. I ask you
t. take advice from one who knows
There is no use in talking about such
things; when they are cold and hungry
they will not listen. They must be fed,
and they work hard enough if they get
anything like fair wages. I heard the
boys saying the other day: Il don't see
how they can have the face to ask it."
What stumbling block in the way Of
our boys. n MOIHER.
