 His condition is serious" he admit ted, but with good care"
 She cut short the conventional plat itudes.
 When will he be able to go out again?"
 Not for weeks" emphatically.
 Her look of anxiety deepened.
 What Is your fathers business, Miss Hall?"
 He is manager of the local tele- phone system. and attends personally to repairing and keeping up the line" That means a great deal of hard work?" sympathetically.
 'Yes, particularly in the winter. The circuit comprises nearly 800 phones, and the line extends out into the coun- try in all directions"

Wonderful Underground Dwelling of the Duke Of Portland. WebecR Abbey, where the late ec-i centric Duke of Portland dug under ground rooms and passasess to hide himself from the world. is to be visit ed by the King and Queen. as the guests of the present Duke and Duch- ess of Portland
 Their majestice will inspect the won- derful subterranean annex. which in- cludes a huge riding school. now used for dancing. There is also a picture gallery, a chapel and A library. but they are seldom used, except when roy- atty visits Welbeck.
 The late Duke of Portland Is said to have spent $15.0o0.000 on these burrow- ings. He had a morbid dislike of being seen. or seeing his fellowmen. and lived in solitary state underground.
 When he went to stay at his London house. gloomy old place surrounded by a high wall. he travelled the whole distance in his brougharas with the blinds down. The carriage was placed. with the Duke inside, on a freight car, and sent to town by raii, and he was driven from the station to his door. after being invisible throughout the journey, sgS
 Even now that he is dead. it is stiiI uncertain whether he did not live double life. and under the name of Druce, ran bazaar in London. Law suit after lawsuit has been fought on the question without solving it. The Duchess of Portland. who is per haps the best all-round sportsman in England. does not figure prominent ly in society. but confines her enter taining to shooting parties at welbeck, country balls in the underground hall. hunting parties, etc It is not expected that she will take her place among so- ciety leaders until the debut of her eldest daughter, Lady Victoria Ben- tinck, who is not yet IT, and is god daughter of the late Queen.
 The Duke of Portland. whs was un- til lately master of the horse to King Edward. is a fine sportsman and a learned naturalist. He maintains at Welbeck a very complte private zoo. where strange beasts like kangaro6s, American bison. clans and antelope roam the park at will. He is one of the chief owners of race horses in Eng land, and gives all his winnings to charity

Paper for the Blind.

The announcement that the London Daily Mail is about to issue a weekly edition for the blind. draws attention to the other British Journals publish ed in Brai1le type. which have been a long and useful career, though they have seldom been seen by the general public The first weekly newspaper for the blind was published on June |, 1892, and called the Weekly Summary It has always been issued below cost price. and its promoters derive no ben eft from its publication. Another was started only last year, called the Braille Weekly, and issued from Edinburgh.

Until few weeks ago. if anyone congratulated Secretary Taft on his Presidential prospects the big Ohio man would listen with a laugh and then say: T must put you in my list of D. F. Els.

in industry, irrespective of negligence.
When the employer, the agent of the
public, on his own responsibility AID
for his own profit, in the business of
serving the public, starts in motion
agencies which create risks for 9th
ers, he SHOULD take all the ordinary
and extraordinary risks involved, and
though the burden will at the moment
be his, 1T will ultimately be assumed,
as it ought to be, by the general public
Only in this way can the shock of the
accident be diffused, for it will be
transformed from employer to con-
sumner, for whose benefit all Industries
are carried on. From every stand
point the change WOULD be a benefit.
The community at large should share
the burden as well as the benefits of
industry. Employers you'd thereby
gain a desirable certainty of obliga-
ton and get rid OF litigation to deter
mine it. The workman and the work
mans family would be relieved from
a crushing load.
The National Government should be
a model employer. 1t should demand
the highest quality of service from it's
employees and should care for them
properly in return. Congress should
adopt legislation providing limited
but definite compensation for acct
dents to all workmen within the scope
of the Federal power, including en-
ployees in navy yards and ~arsenals.
Similar legislation should follow thru
out the States. The old and made
quate remedy of suit for negligence
would then gradually disappear.
Responsibility of Employees.
Such a policy wou mean that with
increased responsibility of the en-
ployer would come increased care, and
accidents would be reduced in number
The temporary burden involved will
not hamper our Industries. Long ex-
p~erience of compensation laws in 9TH
er countries has demonstrated their
benefit. What we advocate is only a
simple measure of justice, only one
step toward the goal of securing, SO
far as human wisdom can ecure fair
and equitable treatment for each and
everyone of our people.
Foolish Railroads.
AS a corollary to the above let me
point out the extreme unwisdom of the
railway companies in fighting h con-
stit~utio1ality of the national employ
er's liability law. No law is more en-

phatically needed, and it must be kept
on the statute books in drastic and
thOroughgOing form. The railroads
are prompt to demand the protection
of the Federal courts in times of riot
and disorder; n in turn the Federal
Government should see to it that they
are not permitted successfully to plead
that they are under the Federal law
when thereby their own rights can be
protected, but outside of it when it
is invoked against them in behalf of
the rights of others. If it is proper
for the Federal courts to issue injunc-
ions in behalf Of railroads. it is pro-
per hat railroads should be held to

alike, that the financial burden of ac-
cidents occurring because of the nee
ssary exigencies of their daily ccu
patton should be thrust upon those
sufferers who are least able to bear it,
and taat such remedy as is theirs
should only be obtained by litigation
which now burdens our courts.
Negligence a Crime.
AS a matter of fact there is no
sound economic eason for distinction
between accidents caused by negli-
n and those which are unavoid-
able, n the law should be such that
the payment of those accidents will
become automatic instead of being a
matter for a lawsuit. Workmen
should receive a certain definite n
limited compensation for all accidents

a strict liability for accidents occur
ring to their employees. There should
be the plainest and most unequivoca-
bic additional statement, by enact
ment of Congress, to the effect that
railroad employees are entitled to re-
ceive damages for any accident of the
performance OF their duties, and the
law should be SUCH that it will be
impossible for the railroads success
fully to fight it without thereby for
feiting all right to the protection of
the Federal Government under any
circumstances. In the same way there
should be rigid Federal legislation to
minimize all railway accidents.
