Death Roll Of industry.

To unprecedented prosperity such
as the past year showed and the pres
ent year promises, there is a seamy
side of which little is said. Thousands
of wage-earners, men, women and chill
dren, were caught in the machinery of
our record-breaking production and
turned out cripples. other thousands
were killed outright.
How many there were no one can
say exactly, for we were too busy
making the record production to count
the dead. France, Germany, Holland
and England have come pretty close
to counting their death roll of indus
try and to shortenin 1t. America does
not even count the lives.-Charities

"Yes."

She told me-"
And you're going to try to deserve
all her kindness?"
He nodded. yep. IN bet she amt

looks mighty good to me-"
The old man raised his head with
quick smile. Miss Trevor was ga2.
ing at the boy with an expression on
her face that he had never seen there
before. For the moment It seemed to
him that she vas beautiful.
She caught his wondering glance
and flushed, That will do, Jack" she
said. you may sit over there until
| can take you away"
Miss Trevor came little closer to
the old mans desk. You may re.

Yes" he answered, 81 remember"
She drew her breath quickly. This
Is his SON.
The old man looked up. THE son Of
the man who was unworthy
yes. There Is no mistake about
it. He bears his fathers name. He
is his living image. They were very
poor and very unhappy"
She paused and looked away.
And this is why you want to adopt

could see the figures. The tears rushed
to her eyes, her lips trembled.

CREEPING BLANKETS.
Menaeeries and Juneles the Baby Can
Wander in Safely.

There's a new kind of creeping
blanket. It is a big stretch of deep
cream colored blanket material, OF a
firm consistency, so that it lies on the
floor as fiat as q rug.
1t is embroidered with a scattering
of animals and birds in bold outline
and gay color No relation of sizes Is
regarded by the blanket designer.
Birds, elephants, tigers, butterflies
are drawn in any scale. They are
placed at generous distances apart to
invite a creep from the baby from one
to the other. A centre space is left
free for the baby's name in easy flow
ing script.
Gay colored worsteds are used for
the embroidery. Animals and birds
should be worked in the brightly con-
trasting colors that endear toys tc
babies hearts. The worsteds are al!
fast colors, for of course the creeping
blanket needs many cleanings.
The delight that babies take in these
blankets justifies their invention.
They pat and rub at the vivid hued
animals with absorbed interest or
crows of glee.
"The creeping blanket has saved me
no end of effort" says young mother.
1T always delights my baby and
keeps him busy for an hour at time
| can get deal OF mending or read
ing done while he is patting and scold'
ing his embroidered pets"
A lining of some smooth, dust re-
polling material should be basted un
der the blanket. This lining is re-
moved when the blanket is cleaned OIL
washed.-New, York Sun.

SOLITUDE OF THE CITY.

Not to some bleak and long forgotten
wilderness
NV feet would turn had l desire to
be alone;
Not of the hills would seek respite from
distress,
Nor lei the silent desert hear my sor-
row and my moan.
Nav. here where chaos ielgns, where din
and noise are rife,
The soul can find it's solitude, its surcease
from the strife.
The myriad throngs that seem to ceaseiess
come and go
And, moving on, forget that other men
have life
that they should know
Each other, in the battle Of pain and
ruthless strife
Here where the tide of life rolls on with
an incessant moan,
Here on the city's throbbirs breast
feel the most alone.

 On Monday night, at the nex' regular meeting 1f the city council
 t is the intention of the comniS- sioners of sidewalk district No. 1 to request the city council to give them time warrants for a sum sui fcient to make the fill on Olive street, as they have the assurance of tha property y-owners living in the district that they will take up the warrants at par, and as this will not be putting the city to any immediate expense, it seems that fairness aud justice should promp the aldermen to grant this request They are not asking for anything that is not lawful and just. The or dinance creating sidewalk districts compels the city to give the prop ertyowners their grade, and the neonle of sidewalk district NO. are only asking that this grade p9 given when they are ready aao wil,ine to proceed with their side walks.
 The district will include nearly

WAITED PATIENTLY
Property Owners in Sidewalk District No. 1 Ready to Build Nearly Three Miles of Concrete Walk Without Expense to City.

Editor Graphic: We note ill your issue of the 29th inst that Mayor Toney and the board of public at fairs will shortly "get busy on the sidewalk question This is the right move and everyone should be ob- Hged to maintain good sidewalks. but in this connection we should like to call your attention to the difficulties that have attended the efforts of the commissioners of sidewalk district No. to build sidewalks from Sixth avenue to Twentieth avenue on both sides of Walnut and Olive streets.
 This district was organized and an ordinance passed creating it several months ago. The commits sioners were ready to proceed when they were confronted with the fact that Olive and Walnut streets be- tweenth Ninth and Eleventh ave- nues would have to be filled in to bring the street and sidewalk to grade as established by the city en- gineer. They Immediately took up the matter of this fill with the board of public affairs and this body referred it to the city coun- cil with their approval and recom- mended that the fill be made. There the matter has rested. as the city claims they have no funds with which to do this work, although they did have fun(s for and are doing the same kine of work On Twelfth avenue for a distance of -four blocks, beneflttiar a limited few of the property-ownars of Lake side, while if they wnald make the fill on Olive and W lut streets as indicated above. thes would benefit the entire cOmmunity as it would give good concrete walks from the t city limits to Sixth oE1"le. paved < street.
