CHICAGO GIRLS "TESTS"

CHICAGO, Nov. 2s.-This is what
Sarah Hart, tall, handsome and a
careful girl, did to test John Gregson,
who sought to wed her:
Test for Patience-"First, / tried
his patience by having other gentle
men present when he called. His
patience ceased to be a virtue. and
he went home angry"
Test for -Control-"Then I
tried his self-control by cooking him
a bad dinner. He didn't say much
about the soup, but he let me know
that he expected better things. Then
the meat came on, very much over
done. He kept his self-control. be-
cause he'd hopes of the salad. The
salad came, and he lost that self
control so much required by happy
housewives. Still he looked forward
to the dessert. When the dessert ar
rived he told me that could not cook
as well as a 10year-old girl. 1 knew
he had no self-control."
Test for Constacy-'I then tested
his consistency. I went about with
another fellow, John became sullen
and kept away"
The Result-"IIe has not patience,

is carried on necessarily and
quietly. Men are discharged every
day on the most fimsy pretexts. "
Further on, Pinkerton says:
Department is pitted against de-
partment, superintendent against
superintendent, when it becomes
necessary from the stand point of
high finance to increase dividends.
The word goes out that operating
expenses must be reduced Re-

AMES ON TRIAL AGAIN

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 2S.-Former
mayor A. A. Ames was placed on
trial today on a charge of receiving
bride from Bessie Lee. This is
the fifth trial to which the muoh-
indicted ex-mayor has been subject
ed. The former trials resulted in
disagreements of the juries, and If
another disagreement results 1t ap-
pears probable that another trial will
be ordered. 1t is believed to be the
determination of the judges of the
district court to make jury decide
whether or not the former mayor is
guilty or innocent.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov .2S.-Sen-
sational charges against the railroads
of the United States are made in
a book entitled His Personal Rec
ord" which is to be issued this
month. Its author is Vim. J. Pinker-
ton, foreman of switching crew
here and contributor for years to
railway journals.
Eighteen years continuous service
in railroad work has furnished him
the basis of the book. 1t is said that
since Pinkerton's plans became known
he has been offered by a high Off
cial great inducements not to pub
lish the work. He declined.
The work is particularly timely in
view of the unprecedentedly large
number of fatal wrecks of this year.
The age limit and unreasonable
standard of physical examination,
the writer claims. are directly re-
sponsible for the APPALLING increase
in railroad disasters. He says:
'Thirty-eight years is the vaerage
standard age limit of most of the
great railway, corporations of the
United States. One whe has lost his
position through resignation or dis
charge in many Of the departments
on all of the big systems is barred
from further employment at the vo-
cation at which he has spent the
morning of his life, if his age is
above the limit.
Public safety demands caution,
and caution is synonymous with
youth, clear eyes and clear brains,
says the railroad capitalists. And the
public feels a little ripple of graft
tude, an electric thrill of safety up
its back, and smuggles confidently
against the cushions.
But wait a minute.
"It shall be the province of this
book to tell where the age limit is
unjust, wherein it works hardships
and suffering; drives men to GRIM
eide and sacrifices the public be-
cause inexperience is cheaper in the
labor market than experience-cheap-
er for the capitalist who buys.
1T is not generally known that
all the great railway systems of the
United States maintain systems of
espionage and bureaus of informa-
ton, interchangeable and unlimited
in scope, through which every act of
the employees life is traced, tabu

in the traffic service Of a railroad

patton in the various so-called re-
lief funds
Millions of dollars are collected
in hospital and pension fund as
sessments by the railway companies
of the United States. Not one
tenth of this money is ever ex-
pended and it is not charged that
the railway companies do not full
fill their obligations. But by rid
ding themselves of old employees and
taking on in their places men who
are less liable to present claims for
assistance, they have the millions
for use in the prosecution of their
business.
"They are jealous in the protection
of these funds, to which they do not
contribute one cent and careful that
the men who maintain them are re-
moved bfeore age or misfortune shall
make them subject to the benefit to
which they are entitled. This reason,
and this alone, is the explanation
of the age limit and physical stand
