PittsburS, Nov. 21.-There is a decided in-
proVement in the industrial situation in the

been idle two weeks, resumed operations in all

Disraeli's Luck.

The recent death of Lord Rawton.
Disraeli's secretary and the executor
of his estate, brought to light the fol.
lowing explanation of how Mrs.
Bridges Willyams came to leave her
fortune to Lord Beaconsfield: Dizzy
received one morning a letter from
Mrs. Willyams-whom he did MOI
KNOWN which she said that she had
eead his novels with much interest
and would like to make his acquaint-
ance. She also asked a question which
rendered it necessary for him to an
swer the letter. Unfortunately, the
letter was left in his greatcoat pocket,
and Dizzy did not wear the coat until
several months afterward, when he
happened to be in the south of Eng
land, and in the very town in which
Mrs. Willyams lived. Coming across
the letter in such circumstances, it
occurred to him to call upon her, and
Mrs. Willyams was so flattered at, as
she thought, his carrying the letter
SO long about him, and then calling,
that she decided on leaving him her
fortune! That shows how wise it Is
not to answer letters" added Lord
Rowton.

Mothers With COURAGE.

Mothers with courage frequently
have more courage than they them
selves know. She who is truly SYM
pathetic is ever too courageous to
desert a suffering mortal.
A woman of character is never q
coward. Wait until some danger
threatens another and observe how
quickly self is forgotten. In a terrible
accident, after the first natural feel
ing of revulsion, she easily ignores
the effect of the shocking scene upon
herself in her absorbing efforts TO
render assistance and comfort. And
there are many such women. Gays tbs
Washington Star.
The children of courageous
mother are to be congratulated. When
Samuel is carried into the house, in
jured and bleeding, she does not dis
tract from him the attention his con-
dition demands by falling into fit of
Mysteries and leaving the real work OF
help to some neighbor or kindly
stranger.

LENGTH OF A MINUTE.
In Most Cases It Means Larger Frao
tlon of an Hour.

ktOu VI
How long is a minute? an a min.
ute is one Of the most common bits
of unconscious satire in English col.
loquialisms. "In a minute" answers
ing eight and she is far from the
finishing touches of her theater toilet.
"In minute" says. the imperturbable
waiter when asked why the steak
ordered half an hour before is not
served. "In a minute" he'll add al
the next inquiry, ten minutes later
Minute" clicks the telegraph opera
tor to the sender on the other end o.
the wire. Then he goes out for a
drink or begins long-winded conver.
sation with friend.
Minute" says the halo girl. and
she forgets all about the call five
minutes later when you ring her uI
again.
The peculiar thing about 1t is that
although this common gauge of the
''stand-ofr" minute invariably is long
er the average person who is put to N
actual test of calling off single min
ute will announce the expiration long
before a minute really has elapsed
Try it. Hold your watch on the worst
procrastinator you know, and you'll
find his estimate of a minute is rarely
more than forty seconds, even If h
counts sixty in what he thinks ara sec
