Because they have neglected them
selves, as every one of these patients
in the hospital beds had plenty of
warning in those dragging sensations,
pains at left or right of abdomen,
backaches, nervous exhaustion, in
hammation, liberation, displace-
ments, and other organic weaknesses.
All of these symptoms are indica-
tions of an unhealthy condition of the
female system and if not needed the
penalty has to be paid by a dangerous
operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag
along until you are obliged to go to

THE OPERATORS STRIKE.

The real secret of the teegraphers STRIKE that has
spread like epidemic from city to city in the past few
days and threatens to block speedy communication the
country over the fact that the operators have borne
deprivation of nearly every concession granted other
branches of labor until uncertainties and loss consequent
upon strike have become preferable to further endur
ance.
In familiar language the telegraph companies have
ridden willing horse to death. They have demanded
everything in the way of faithful service and personal
sacrifice from the operators and have granted little
nothing in return.
No calling requiring intelligen and skill is so badly
underpaid the telegraph operators. And upon
paratively few cangs rests the responsibility that bur
dens the who handle the thousands of important
messages that flash the country daily. Strong and
alert mental and physical faculties demanded of the
telegraph OPERATOR and these he is expected to supply
night day for less money than he could by dig
ging bitches. Compared to teegraphng the hod
rier's trade is fine thing financially.
This isn't saying that the who digs bitches
carries the bod does not all he gets that he ought
to be satisfied with less because other craft is
derpad but it emphasizes the fact that in general adj
vancement unsked well all other lines of skilled
labor have far outstrpped the highly skilled class of
labor required for the proper transmission Of eegraphc
messages upon which the business and newspaper inter
ests of the country place dependence that be
otherwise supplied.
In order to enjoy the Sunday rest commanded by
other classes of labor the operator must resort make
shifts work out of time and with that misses

Because their stopping work national incon

full year after year, hoping obtain by other what
they knew justly due them. And the companies have
persstently played this consideration shown by their
employees keep the wage scales and working conditions
down to the lowest possible figure Their appreciation of
the faithful service is small for any known standard
of measurement, but they skip dividend pare
the fancy salaries paid company officials.
Now that the operators have at last rebeed the bust

AS THE BlGOT SAW DUTY

Old Deacon Simpkins had one
foot in the grave and the rest of
him was swiftly following. Neigh
bors wondered If it could really be
true. For years he had exerted
spiritual tyranny over the congrega-
ton at their little church, holding
up continually the terrors and tor.
lures awaiting the frivolous and
gayly inclined in the world to come.
There always seemed to be a
mystery connected with the life of
the hard, unyielding old man, and
somehow he was feared by young
and old.
But now he was dying!
Beside his bed sat DR.. Doane and
old Deacon Sadler.
Doctor" he asked, as if merely
to assure himself, lis my time
about up?"
Il am afraid you have only few
hours at BEST" said the doctor,
kindly.
"Then," said the sick man quiet
ly, Il have something wish to tell.
God called upon me once to per-
form very hard task, but l dis
charged my duty.
George Curry and were raised
together; we loved each other and
were always competitors for first
honors in all classes in the public
school, But he seemed to have no
regard for the future of his soul.
After finishing at the school
George went to college. Later he
graduated with highest honors as a
doctor. But he had no thought OF
| practicing. He was carried away
| with desire to find a panacea, a
universal remedy for all kinds of
human suffering. With this idea in
mind he went to study chemistry in
! a big eastern university. He SO dis
tnguished himself that they want
ed him to take the chair of chem
| istry in that school. He next went
| to study botany at another big uni
versity. and upon leaving it was
forced to decline the chair in that
subject. He then came home and
spent years hard study and work
in his own laboratory, his light oft
en- twinkling all night.
81 had tried to dissuade him from
his object, telling him that God
never intended for man to have
such a remedy, but he merely
laughed at me.
Zone night, with wild eyes and
body trembling with ecstasy he
came to my home and told me he
had at last made his discovery and
wanted me to come and see.
Il went. A spoonful of thickish,
amber colored liquid made my
chronic rheumatism disappear like
vapor. Dancing with joy, George
brought out little dog and gave it
several grains of strychnine; it
was soon writing on it's back. He
poured the amber liquid down it's
throat and it instantly capered
about the room.
Il realized that | was observing
the works of the devil, and | trem-
bled with fear. George said I,
with a warning voice, you are med
ding with Gods plan of salvation;
you are taking away the pains and
Affections of the world God in his
wisdom prescribed for us; you are
doing away with suffering by which
God intended for us to make our
garments white and win the golden
crown. Your discovery would damn
the world, and you must destroy it.
"He laughed at me boisterously
and said that he was going to pre-
sent his discovery to the academy
of medicine on the morrow, and
thus give it to all the world free,
asking only gratitude from the flu
ture generations.
Il realized that there was only

and a moment later he was dying
still at my feet. Taking hiBsmedi-
cine l threw it all on the fire and
pitched all his papers and for
mulas after.
"Kneeling on the floor I prayed:
oh, God, who commanded Abra-
ham to Stay his son, thou hast given
me sore task; pardon my re-
luctance and forgive this man, for
he knew not what he did,"
The deacon's throat ratified and
his breath stopped; bending over
him the friends shuddered.
