factory.
under the new superintendent the
output was satisfactory-and more.
The question that continually pre-
sented itself to the young mans trou-
bled mind was whether, in the inter-
ests of the firm he had not been too
harsh with the employees. In eradi-
eating the evils Jim Powell had
wrought he had found it necessary
TO calculate in cold-blooded fashion.
to be ready with blame and chary of
praise. The result was inevitable.
While the profits grew steadily Craw-
ford realized that it was because of
his ceaseless vigilance and the firm
ness with which he held the employees
at work
There were times-when he was
tired, especially-when it seemed to
him that he had merely developed
into successful slave driver.
Sometimes at 6 o'clock, when the
big gong had sounded, he would sit
by the time-machine and watch the
men file down the stairs He would
have given much if here and there in
the long line face had been lifted to
his with a nod or a comprehending
smile, but the hands" rang in their
time in sullen silence. His very pres
ence seemed to chill their spirits, and
when one of them looked at him 1t
was either with bitterness or a blank
stare.
Meanwhile the Perfection Electric
Switch Company prOspered amazing
ly, and at the same time the superin-
tendent grew a little more stoop-
shouldered, a little more reserved, a
little more heavy of eye.
In November of the third year it
happened that "Our Mr.. Crawford"
was taken sick. At the time he was
putting forth strenuous efforts to
have an increase of pay for the en-
ployes, in consequence of which he
was at the office several days when
he should have been in bed. He
wanted the hands to understand that
their work had been appreciated, and
although he had to grind his teeth
to keep from crying out with the
pain he went daily to the Office and
argued with the general manager and
the members of the firm.
The firm was obdurate. 1t was de-
cided finally that, in view of the ex-
tcnsive additions that were to be
made to the plant the increase could
not be granted for another year. Sick
at heart and racked witt pain the SUI
perintendent staggered to his apart
ments in the gray November dusk,
went to bed and sent for a doctor.
The physician came, chided the young
man for his carelessness of his health
and said a slight operation would be
necessary the next day.
The operation was successful, and
the physician assured the anxious
general manager that the patient
would be at the factory in a couple of
weeks. But the physician had not
reckoned on many things-the weari-
ness of mind and body in his patient,
the bitterness of his recent failure to
induce the firm to increase the pay of
the hands, and the dragging load un-
der which he had struggled silently
for the past three years.
The wound caused by the opera
ton healed rapidly, but with the heal
ing came no strength. Crawford sat
daily propped up in a chair by the
window listless and uninterested In

and near-sighted eyes which E5A<
peered keenly through the
heaVy lenses OF his eyeglasses. Our
Mr. Crawford" as he was always
called by the general manager Of the
perfection Electric Switch Company,
had been transferred from his place
as foreman of the wiring department
to be superintendent of the factory at
q time when an iron hand was needed
TO remedy the mischief which the lax
methods and general inefiiciency Of
MS departing predecessor had created.
1t was difficult problem of reor-
gaDization that he had been called
upon to face, but time had proved
that the general managers faith-he
had stoutly advocated Crawford
against the firms opposition - had
not been misplaced. The new super
lntendent had entered upon his du-
Ties quietly, unassumingly, but with
tenacity of purpose and an unre-
lenting energy that bent all things to
his will. Three of the best years of
his life he gave unhesitatingly and
uncomplainingly to the work before
him. At the end of tnat time the
factory was running with a smooth
ness that took several wrinkles out
of the general managers brow and
made the firm think seriously of in
treasing the plant.
"Our Mr.. Crawford" - the firm
spoke of him proudly in this manner
now-had made himself necessary to

DON'T PUT 1T OFF LONGER.
Get Rid Of That Indigestion at Once by
Using Mi-o-na.

Either through slackneSS or careless
ness hundreds of people slowly poison
themselves by chronic indigestion. by
neglecting to cure at once any slug
gishness of the important organs of
digestion the system is filled with fer
menting and decaying food that re-
suits in sick headaches, heartburn,
bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue,
specks before the eyes, sleeplessncss,
nervous troubles and the many other
symptoms that are the direct result
of indigestion.
The want Of a perfectly safe yet eff
fectivc cure for indigestion and stom-
ach troubles in their many forms was
felt up to the time of the successful
Investigations that resulted in the pro-
duction Of Mi-O-na stomach tablets.
They quickly cure the worst cases Of
Indigestion, and the pain and distress
which are often felt after meals dis
appear in a very few days-such is the
wonderful curative power Of Mi-o-na.
The old-fashioncd medicines for
stomach troubles merely digest the
food. while Mi-o-na strengthens the
digestive organs 50 that they soon be-
come able to care for the food that is
eaten.
Mi-O-na stomach tablets cost but 30
cents a box and Do more real good than
a dozen boxes Of the ordinary digestive
tablets. Bnwditch, Webster x 60. give
an absolute, unqualified guarantee to
refund the money if Mi-O-na fails TO
cure.

A GOOD MOVE.
Standpipe At Rines Hill Crossing to
Be Moved 210 Feet South.

An arrangement which will be much
appre ciated by Augusta people III gen.
er2l and by owners of teams in par
tjcular was brought about by Mayor
PIaistod yesterday, whereby the stand
pipe in the Maine Central freight just
below the Rines hill crossing will be
moved farther down the yard.
Muclf inconvenience and no small
amount Of danger has resulted from
having the standpipe in the position
which it has heretofore occupied from
the nearness of the locomotives to the
crossing while taking water, both from
the fact that many horses have been
scared at the sight of the monsters
and the noise of escaping steam, and
also because the locomotives were so
close to the track of the trolley LIND
that cars could hardly pass, being
sometimes compelled to wait until the
locomotive could be moved back.
In the old days when locomotives
were small it did not make so much
difference, but with those now in use
the pilot of the locomotive is brought
close to the crossing, and in the case
of the two new ones, No. $50 and AL,
there is not room for a car to pass
unless the spout on the standpipc is
swung just as far back as it will 50
and reach the tank.
Mayor Plaisted took the matter up,
and with Alderman Locke and Charles
d. Sayward of Watcrvile, master
plumber for the Maine Central. went
down into the yard yesterday after
noon with a view to securing a new
site for the standpipe. The trip was
not without results, and an agreement
has been reached whereby the stand
pipe will be erected at a point 210 feet
south Of its present location. and a
pipe will also be laid from it down
over the bank to drain into the river.
