"Her Touch"

A sailor who met with a serious acct
dent was carried to the London hospi-
tai. The poor mother hurried to the
building to see her son. She was met
by kind but firm refusal from the
house physician, but nothing daunted
she pleaded for admission to the poor
fellows bedside. Who could resist a
mothers entreaties? The safety of the
patient lay in his being kept absolutely
quiet, but the physician consented to
her admission Oh condition that she did
not speak Il word. She stole softly to
his bedside and gazed as only a mother
can at her unconscious boy. She dare
not speak, but Il mothers love was not
to be denied all expression, and gently
laying her hand on his feyered brow
she let it rest there Il moment and then
noiselessly crept from the room.
The watchful nurse heard the coma.
tose sleeper murmur the words, "Her
touch" and, rousing himself, he added
'Surely my mother has been here.
know her touch!'
All, there was an electric thrill of
sympathy in that touch which told its
own tale to the dying man!-Weekly

HIGH WAGES PAID BY TRUSTS.
George F. CahiII's Experience on a
Visit to Large Eastern Cities.

Mr.. George F. Cahill has just re-
turned to the city after an interest
ing and somewhat unusual trip. He
is making special study of wage
rates in different cities in the east
ern part of the United States. In
the three weeks that he was absent
Mr.. Cahill visited Philadelphia, New
York, Brooklyn, Bridgeport, Provi-
dence, Boston, Portland, Schenectady
Syracuse and several other cities and
large towns in New England and
New York state.
He says that the two most interest
ing things disclosed by his recent
trip, are, first, that the rich compan-
les, often abused as trusts pay
the highest wages to their employees,
and, that the proportions and ramifi-
cations of the electrical business are
| something wonderful. Electricity
seems to have entered every walk of
| life, and the electrical companies are
making SO much money that they
can afford to pay the highest wages
and salaries to their men. Some Of
the chiefs of departments receive as
much as chiefs of divisions in the
treasury and war departments, if not
more.
According to Mr.. Cahill's observa-
tons, the rate of wages paid at these
places is very high. NOR do the ''fu-
ored sons appear, as commonly sup
posed. The electrical companies are
making money, and pay for the talent
they need. And it appears to make
no difference where an employee re-
ceived his talent or experience. The
question is, can he deliver the
goods" Many of the smartest young
men of the county are crOwding into
electrical pursuits, and in the testing
room at Schenectady are to be found
graduates of the finest chronological
schools in the country. After spend
ing years and thousands of dollars to
perfect themselves in the theory of
electricity, these young men are glad
to work the first six months for a dol
lar day, and the second for dollar
and quarter day, to obtain practi-
cal experience, while thousands with
out even a grammar school education
are receiving from two four dallors
a day in the shops. The man with
the education FORCES ahead in the
end, however, if he has the talent
and energy.
Mr.. Cahill says that one of the
most noticeable -.ngs on his trip
among the manufacturing concerns
was that all the terrible trusts" were
in some other town. Washington

A Match Trick,

A feat which any one can perform
with little or no practice is that of
placing IA matches upon a table and
lifting them all up upon one Of the
matches. This is how it is done: Pick
out one match-the one that has the
--LATEST surface-and then place six Of
the other matches about one-fourth
each across the first one, each Of the
six being parallel to each other and the
thickness of Il match distant from each
other. Next place six other matches
one-fourth each across the first match,
but from the other side, all parallel and
in the spaces left by the arrangement
Of the first six matches. Now take the
fourteenth match, lay it over the Il
matches where they intersect, and by
carefully lifting match No. and hold.
ing match No. II in place you will ac-
complish without difficulty the feat

The Dentist Is Polite,

North Side dentist is sure to be call

trick he has practiced upon them. 1t
happens sometimes that even a rubber
dam will not stop the flow of woman's
speech, and although the dentist, being
young man, is not ayerSe to little
pleasant talk" now and then with a
patient, yet if she persists in telling
him her personal or domestic history
during the filling of tooth, hindering
the work, while other patients wait in
the anteroom, it's Il little trying 10 his
nerves and temper. The doctor is Il po-
lite man; he does not ask the woman
to stop talking, but says gently:
open your mouth, please"
There is silence for few moments,
when the chatter begins again.

fist, more persuasively than before,

THE FILTER AT WORK.
The Editors Daughter Starts the

At two thirty-one, Thursday after

through the filter sand into the orcn

reservoir. 1t took about 45 minutes tu
cleanse the sand, then the water came
sparkling and bright into the reservoir.

when the plant was started off that will
supply long felt want of our citizens.
