suddenly bend her head toward the

she would spring to boring the turf
vigorously with her bill, changing her

more and more excited, till finally Il fat

Time after time during several days |

and direct him to telegraph down the
line toward New York as far as he
could and report back to Edison as soon

had this telegram:
Il can telegraph all right down to
within two miles of Poughkeepsic, and
tLcrc is trouble with the wire there.

president and gravely announced that

EDISON'S TRIUMPH.


Start In Life.
DR.. Norvin Green. for many years
president of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, once said that but
for the dullness of himself and his as
sistants Thomas A? Edison might nev-
er have obtained the confidence and
support Of the great corporation. Ed
fson had been trying for months to in
lucc the officials to take up some of
his inventions until they began to re
gard him as bore
lie went to the main office one day
and was greeted by DR.. Norvin Green
and the other officials with sneering
smiles. DR.. Green said: MIR. Edison,
we are unable to get into communica-
ton with Albany, and large amount
of important business is in peril
suppose that since you know more
about telegraphy than all of the rest
of us combined you can locate the diff
ficulty."
Whether Edison noticed the sneering
tone or not, he quietly answered, Il
can locate it inside of two or three
hours, sir"
DIR. Green and the others laughed out
right, one of them saying, Edison, you
have now fully demonstrated that you
are Il crank"
Edison never smiled or addressed q
word to the speaker, but looked at DR..
Green and said, IF | locate this diff
Guilty IN two or three hours, will you
take up my inventions and give them
honest considerations"
Yes, | will" said DR.. Green, ''and |
will do it if you succeed in two days"
1t was very simple thing, and yet
Edison was the only one who had the
comprehensive mind to think of it in
stantly. He did not toll them for many
years afterward how he accomplished
the feat, but he did it inside of one
hour.
Edison went to the main offices,
where he was known as an expert OPP

have been more indefatigable than Mr.
Joseph Reilly, business agent of the Car

district council, has also been an indefati-
gable worker for the success of the car

dent of Local Union. No, 100. United Broth

lea, and chairman of the carpenters execu-
tive board
He has been an active member In the
trade movement for number OF years and
enjoys the confidence and respect OF his
associates AZ the several offices he holds

saying that President Piland is popular in
trades circles.

joint district council, has held that Inn
portant ONCE for three consecutive terms.
He Is also secretary of Carpenters Local
Union, No. 108, which Office he has held for
