MIRRORS FOR M0I0RMEN
To Enable Them to See Rear of
Car, Not to Curl Their
Mustaches By.

Among the new street car appliances
submitted for the consideration Of rapid
transit companies in Minneapolis and
elsewhere, is mirror to watch the rear
of the car. While the gates in use on
the twin city system do much to prevent
accidents while passengers are getting
on or off, the mirror would possibly be
All additional factor and time-saver as
WE'LL for the motorman would be prepared
for the go-ahead signal. Yesterday, for
instance, a big crowd was waiting for a
Hennepin car at the West hotel. When
the gates were opened and the passengers
began to pile in, the motornan opened the
side door of his cab and stood watching
the crowd so that he would know about
when he was to start. The new device
would have enabled him to keep track
of the process of loading without taking
his hands from his levers.
The mirror recently patented extends
but few inches beyo yond the side of the
car, and as it is swung on a pivot II struck
by a passing wagon or roadside obstruc-
ton, no damage is done. The frame is
made of bronze and both the back and
front edges are cushioned with corl,
composition to avoid the possibility o1
breaking the glass or OF flying pieces en-
tering the car.

opened for the eight-room addition to the

resolution providing for the purchase Of

include provision for the erection Of a

remarked incidentally that the board had

No Power Like Love.

There is no power like love on earth or
in heaven. Illustrations of this truth soc-
cur in every sphere. In missionary school
in Porto Rico little boy who had given
trouble in several classes was put INTO the.
class of lady who seemed to WIN him
from the start. She had no trouble with
him. As accounting for this she said that
he had very beautiful eyes, and that every
time she looked at him she was, reminded
of a dear brother who had died not long
before. TIE love thus awakened IN the:
teachers heart made itself felt for good IN
the boys heart. Year ago, in a London
Sunday.school a teacher showed remark
able power over the boys put into her:
class, even those who were toughest. Every
one of them was won to Christ, and this
was the case with each new boy brought
under her influence. The superintendent

asked what was her peculiar way with
rough boys. Her quiet. answer was: is

The hardest thing for some persons to do:
is to apologize to another whom they have
wronged. Yet there is scarcely any other
way in which greatness of character may.

is liable to be overcome by sudden temptasS
ton and say or do that which he alter

with the better SELF What shall he do?s
Humble himself and apologize, or yield to-
his pride and let the matter pass, perhaps:
to rankle in his own breast and in tho
breast of him who has been wronged? He
is great man who is willing to pubhcly
acknowledge his error and ask forgiveness
This was done by Methodist bishop who
had spoken sharply to brother at recent:

The Gin Horse.

Once upon time an inquisitive man
who acted regardless of the ancient
proverbs that contain good advice, was
given q horse that had q streak OF
viclousness in Its character.
When the giver had departed, after
having received the thanks usually
given on such occasions, the receiver
having deep curiosity as to the horse s
age, raised it's great upper lip with his
two thumbs and proceeded to inspect
its teeth.
He found that the horse had suff
cient teeth for biting purposes, for the
animal, resenting the intrusion of two
thumbs in his mouth, closed on them
with a vicious snap. with the result
that the man found himself with only
eight fingers ca his two hands.
