Those who desired to secure Phi

sawyer were obliged to take him on
his own terms. "I'll saw an split

said MIR. Hay after an inspection of
the summer residents shed yard.
"There' are just three cords of
wood to be sawed and split" said
the summer resident briskly. "How
much will you charge for the job ?"

Phllander surveyed his victim with
a relentless gaze.
"lf | set out to saw an split by

Uncomfortable Shavinu.

The traveller, who had just re.
turned from abroad, sank back into
his accustomed barber's chair with
a sigh of relief. "This is the first
time Eve had the prospect of COM

he remarked. "They have inrprov-
ed in a good many things abroad"
he continued, "but the BARRIERS over
on the other side still stick to those
uncomfortable chairs of theirs in
the most absurd way.
Il asked the man who shaved me
in London, and nearly broke nv
neck at the same time, why they
never used American chairs in the
barber shops of London.

MONEY.

Norway even now uses corn for cur
rency.
Absolutely pure gold is twenty-four
carats fine.
Sheep and oxen among the old Ro-
mans took the place of money.
In India cakes Of tea pass as curren-
cy, and in China pieces of silk.
In some districts of New Guinea fe-
male slaves form the standard of value.
Seashells We're the earliest forms of
III Jnry, the skins of animals coming
next as substitute.
1t is an Interesting fact that the jap
anese coins in the matter of fineness
are superior to all others.
The Icelandic and Irish laws vet
have traces Of the use Of cattle for
money. Many Teutonic fines were paid
in cattle.
In the days Of 1919 Of California the
ounce Of pure gold ($1G50 formed the
common medium Of exchange. Another
form Of money was lump
or gold, called slug. equaling just $50.

Railroad men, who form such
large factor in American life,
are just waking up to the fact
that they have been, or will be,
side-tracked very neatly and ef-
fectively if the hours-of service
bill reported to the House last
week is allowed to pass. The
measure passed the Senate al
most six weeks ago, and since
then the House committee has
been busy ''perfecting" it. They
have perfected it with a ven
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1907-02-28

legislation at all, but the railroad
men are doubtful. The fact is
that there has been almost as
warm a fight over the bill in COM
mittee as there was over the
railway rate bill. The railroads
themselves have had a powerful
lobby in Washington against it,
almost the same lobby in fact
that fought the rate bill. The
railroad workmen did about the
best they could under the cir
cumstances, but compared to
their employers they are sad am
ateurs.
The things that have been done
to the bill are manifold, but one
of the most vicious has been
changing the period by which
the hours of labor are measured
from "a to 36, which change al
lows men to be worked about %
hours at a stretch if there be a
short interval of rest. This is
just about what the railroads are
doing now with their men, and
the bill as it has been amended
in the committee would allow
them to keep up their regular
practice with the appearance of
having made concessions.
This is a matter in which the
public is even more vitally inter.
ested than are the railroad men,
for there are more of the tray.
elling public than there are OF
the train crews, and they are e,
qually jeopardized when the train
crews are overworked. A re-
cent instance can be taken in the
investigation by the Interstate
Commerce Commission following
the disastrous wreck on the Bal
timore and Ohio at Terra Gotta,
D. c. The attorney for the Com
mission collected a lot of time
slips from the railroad showing
the hours that the various train
crews had been on duty. These
records showed that 16 hours
was rather a short days work
and in great many cases the
crews had been kept on duty for
20 and % hours at a stretch for
several days, while there were
extreme cases of their having
worked 36 hours. This was not
as though the hardship were
on the man. They were
the workers on whom the lives
and safety of the travelling pub
lie depended. The object of the
'hours-of-service bill" was to
restrict the working period of
the train crews so as to conserve
the safety of the public, but this
the measure does not do in it's a.
shape. If it is allowed
to go through, it will be owing
to the indifference of the public.

THE PROSPECTOR.

No trail, that points the easy way.
Appeals unto his tireless feet:
He seeks the rugged and sI0ping fields
Where granite peaks and soft clouds m ct
His campfire CLEANS from timber line.
And there, far from our quiet heaths
He dreams on what tomorrow holds.
And sees gold in his pipes thin wrcaths
His bed is on his bUrro's back.
His cartridge belt must furnish meat;
His home is meath whatever star
The god Of chance has lured his feet.
His steel. that clinks against the rock,
May add to human joys or woes.
For who shall tell what means of power
That tiny hammer shall disclose?
And so he moves, 'gainst background vast
A-hunt for that which he calls wealth.
Unconscious that his richest find
IS in his own Astounding health.
