but innumerable thousands are much
below the limit these statutory laws
provide for. and far, far below the
limit which the laws of nature de-
mand. There are few branches Of
our great Industrial life which are not
overcrowded with child labor. have

The most interesting phase Of the
life Of these street saleswomen, mostly
Of Jewish extraction, Is their dual
mercantile and domestic ability. "A
bachelor maid" Is unknown among
them. In truth, the mother Of the
family Is most often In business, and
II there be a daughter or unmarried

Of the household duties. and boarding

Wives and mothers run both business
and home with remarkable success.

HEARD BY AN OLD MAN.

Here in my easy chair l sit,
An old, old man before the fire,
Deaf to all sounds of every day
And dead to every past desire.
Perhaps the failing outward sense
Quickens the spirits inner ear,
For sitting here before the fire
You'd scarce believe the sounds hear.
All this long afternoon | heard
The brook in the old orchard sing
Just as it used to, on the farm,
When first the grass grew green In
spring.
You know that gurgling, gladstone
The voice of water wild with glee
When it has burst its icy bond
And finds itself alert and free.
The birds. too, in the beech-tree grove,
hear them, ms In days of yore
When l went forth at break of day,
Call through the sunrise hush once
more.
And that one bird that nested high
thought she had a silver throat
A trickle of clear melody,
1t thrills me Oft her slender note.
My mothers voice, too-oh, SO plain
1t calls across the fading light:
"Come, children, time to leave your play;
Come in the house, It's almost nightw
Sometimes when you have left the room,
And | alone am sitting here,
| speak the answer right out loud,
Yes. yes, I'm coming, mother dear"
Then there's one song comes back to me,
Your mother sang it. my dear wife,
slender girl dressed all in white,
First time l saw her in my life.
She used to carol like n bird
'Tis an old-fashoned song, l know,
But day by day l hear her still
Singing, John Anderson, my Jo."
sometimes think that when go
TO join her in the angel throng
Her voice, above the heavily hymn
Will rise once more in that loved song.
An old, old mainland common speech
But seldom reaches my dulled ear;
Yet sitting here before the fire
You'd scarce believe the sounds l hear.
