The DELTOID MUSCLE.
Il Plays a Prominent Part in the
Business of the Custom
TaiIOrs.

SIT is rare thing" said the talking
man, relates the Washington Star, ito
ind a merchant tailor who can get a
perfect fit in the clothes he makes.
So rare in fact that I have sometimes
thought that tailors, of all artisans,
knew least how to do their work right.
Yet the tailor, or the cutter rather, is
not always to blame, for a perfectly cut
garment may be often set askew by
careless maker, who by crooked seam
or slight departure from the line set
for his needle may throw the whole
thing out of plumb. Still, good tailor
ought to know when a garment fits,
and should either be able to correct its
unfitness or not let it leave the shop.
Speaking of the cutting part, remem-
Der an incident that occurred once at
convention of cutters held in Cincin-
natl. The subject for discussion was
the cutting and fitting of garments,
and testy old Scotchman had the floor.
He said in effect that if a coat were
cut to set right upon the deltoid muscle
that the wearer would Always find it
comfortable and well fitting.
In fact said he, 'the deltoid mus
Gle determines the fit of a coat
Will the gentleman state what and
where the deItoid muscle is?' asked a
cutter on the other side of the cham
Der.
"The scotchman turned on him
sharply.
Sir he said, angrily. do you claim
to be a cutter and not know where the
de1toid muscle is located? Don't you
know, sir, that knowledge of the hui
man antony is as important to the
tailor as it is to the surgeon? Do you
expect to cut a garment to fit an object
whose every line and curve you do not
know? You might as well try to fit q
plug to hole without knowing the size
of the hole. No, sir, the gentleman VIII
not state what and where the deltoid
muscle is. It is your duty. sir, to know
the de1toid muscle; not mine to in
struct you
'sThe discussion ended there. simply
because there was nobody present to
carry It on, for don't believe man IN
the place except the old fellow knew
anything about deltoid muscles.
know I didn't, but as soon as got to a
dictionary looked it up. Later I gave
the matter some study and I found that
i the scotchmaD was right.

Truth at Last

An aftermath of the great railroad
strike in Chicago, in 1894, was recent
~ gathered in that city. A suit
brought by. Armour s Co. at the time
against the city to recover the value
of a lot of cars destroyed was lately
decided against the firm. The cars
were destroyed by fire, set, it was al
legged, by the mob, and the city was
held liable for failure to protect the
property of its citizens from mob vio-
| fence. The city'S defense was that
the destruction was not the work of
the mob, as the strikers were termed,
but was inspired by railroad officials
and boys who were not disturbed by
watchmen when scattering fire brands.
The jury found that the evidence did
| not warrant the contention that the
deed was that of a mob. or the Strik-
ers. aEx-Mayor Hopkins and ex-Chief
of Police Brennan were among the
witnesses for the city. Mr.. Brennan
said that his observations led him to
believe that not in a single instance
were the cars fired by strikers, but he
believed the railroad companies sought
to prejudice the public against the
men by winking at CONGREGATIONS. :"
Mr.. Brennan testified: 81 am as firm
~ of the opinion now as in 1894 that
if the federal troops had not been
called to Chicago there would have
been no bloodshed. /" All of this was
asserted by the strikers at the time,
and believed by every one who was
not swept off his feet and his judg-
ment impaired by the terrific excite
ment Of the time and the blind preju-
dice it created. The guilt Of Mr.. Debs
and his associates was assumed at the
time, and they were railroaded into
six months imprisonment without a
trial denied the right OF jury, sent up

Death has visited our home and taken
from us our dear father. No more on
this earth shall we behold thy loving
face for thou hast found resting place
a place from sorrow free. No more can
loved ones hear thy voice while they on
earth remain, nor see thy form they
loved SO well till all shall meet in
Heaven. Thy wife and children all
wished for thee to stay but hope to
meet thee in that bright home and live
with thee always. Why should we
weep and grieve for thee since from our
sight thou has gone? 1t is only for a
little while till God shall call us home.
Then let our sorrows cease to flow, God
has but claimed his own. Let our hearts
in every woe still say, Thy will, not
ours, be DONE" ~
