MORE BENerIcENT PATBRnALIsM.

The theory held by a class of en-
ployers that it is both easier and
cheaper to hire new men than TO af-
ford safety to those already employed,
seems to be fairly illustrated in some
eastern coal mines. Investigations now
under way. have brought out the fact
that in this country we are far be-
hind Europe in safeguarding the lives
Of miners. The coal mine death roll
in Pennsylvania during 1905 was 500;
$50 died as the result of gas or dust
explosions. In West Virginia in the
same year mine explosions cost IS
lives, and in the early months of 1907
the list of fatalities was increased by
more than hundred more This 1t is
asserted is very much higher in fatal
ity and accident than the record of any
similar mining field Of Europe. An Inn
iportant item in the general charge
against American methods, and one
that reminds of those iron weighted
lie preservers, is the report Of the ex-
pert OF a test of safety lamps when
the American lamps behaved the worst
and ignited the gas every time.
Responsibility for mine horrors is
divided between greedy operators and
careless miners. One Of the greatest
dangers under ground is the miner
who from laziness or greed neglects
precaution.. 1t is impossible usually to
reform fool but 1t is practicable to
keep him above ground.
The government will fit up minia-s
ture coal mine as an experimental sta
ton and object lesson, and miners will
be invited to witness tests. One line of
that viii be pursued will
relate to rescue work. 1t is declared
that In serious gas explosions In
mines many lives could be saved were
1t possible for the rescue party to en-
ter Immediately after the accidents. AS
It Is now, the deadly fire-damp often
holds the men back for hours while
their comrades Are slowly being suffo-
Gated or burned to death. At the Bel
GUM experiment station the American
expert found an apparatus capable of

it, that certain things are expected of
him and he must perform them.
This problem is no more one for the
rich man than for the poor man. 1t is
the same story over. The boy must be
busy. The laborer who does his ten
hours day has the same thing to fear
as the millionaire. The boy who has
nothing to do is the one who goes to
the devil from the tenement as from
the big house. on the hill.
1t isn't easy. So many things inter-

too busy to raise our boys--but we
never forget to look after the pigs.

Concrete Best and Cheapest Pairing J?

dllit the pavement was very carefully
repaired, and seems as good as new.
In 1908 a very busy intersection of
Seventh and NJ A streets was paved
with concrete at a cost of 161ac per
square foot, and in 1904 Elm Place at
cost of 13c. The latter street is close
to a hotel and some wholesale estab-
lishments, and over it is done some
very heavy hauling, especially from
the hardware and iron storage house
OF Jones Bros, wholesale and retail
dealers in hardware. These pavements
show a little chipping at the edges of
the joints, left for contraction and ex-
pansion, and have an occasional tenn
perature crack, but none of these
cause any serious detriment, and 9TH
erwise the pavements show almost no
signs of wear, and will apparently last
for years to come, with no repairs or
maintenance charges In addition to
those mentioned, we have a number
of other alleys paved with concrete, and
during the last season on alleys and
streets we put down $500 square yards.
Our citizens are very we'll satisfied
with this pavement 1t is very easily
cleaned, and this is first class from an
aesthetic and sanitary point of view.
1t is low in, first cost compared to
brick, asphalt or bithulithic.
Cost for repairs and maintenance
will be nothing for a great many years.
and life of the pavements will appar-
emily be far greater than any Of those
mentioned.
1t is little slippery for horses. but
not more so than brick, and consid-
erably less SO than asphalt Consid-
ering 1t from all points we consider
this form Of pavement "a success.
Yours very respectfully,

THE RICH MANS NIGHTMARE.

A wealthy man, who is making
money! fast and bids fair to be a mill
lionaire, was worrying to a friend:
How about my boys ?"fhe said. 81 have
four boys and I'm simply frightened to
death that they will go to the devil or
amount to nothing. They are not
learning to work. They wear good
clothes, too good, they have too much,
and they don't know what it is to
want a cheap thing bad and have to
go without it. They're good lads
enough, but I am worried more over
their future than over any other thing
L have to worry over. They go some
with, the Blank boys, we are in the
same social set you know, and if there
are two worthless little devils on earth
those two boys of Bill Blanks are the
ones I'm worried over my boys
This Is the biggest burden that q
strong man. successful financially, has
to carry. He is anxious for his boys
to make good and knows that his own
success is their heaviest handicap.
There is just one answer to his
question Watts made it long ago when
he laid down the axiom that Satan
finds some mischief still for idle hands
to do. Idleness is the bane of the rich
mans son. idleness and the inculcated
untruth that he is better than the
boy because the neighbor
has less money. There is only one
way. to raies a boy--Nep him busy,

WHERE InTERuRBANs GROW.

Some interesting facts in connection
with the growth Of interurban railway
systems are given by the writer of q
special article in a Chicago publica-
ton. We are told that 1,S00 miles of
electric tracks are now connected In
Chicago. We are told, also, that no less
than ITO cities, towns and villages in
Illinois, Indiana, and wisconsin are al
ready linked to Chicago by electric
roads. The ride to GAINESVILLE, Wis,
1925 miles, is now the longest that can
be taken from Chicago in one general
direction by connecting lines This trip
takes approximately six hours and
twenty '6ve minutes, by way Of Elgin,
F.elvidere and Rockford. Other 100
mile rides to theGnumber Of perhaps q
dozen may be taken from Chicago on
the electric lines, and when a few
connecting lines now under construc-
.tion have been finished. 500 mile trips
by trolley will be common from Chi
cage thru Indiana, Ohio and even fur
ther east.
q The effect has been noticeable even
in the enormous retail trade Of Chi
cage. The interurban systems have
increased retail trade notably. Fhe ef-J
.fsct, of the trolley line to b big or little
city is likely. to be under rather than
over estimated.
The time to acquire interurban con-
;nection is NOW while the lines are
building. 1t is easy to wait too long.

Dear Sir: Replying to your circular

years ago under your specifications and

teaming and it is standingup fine. It

sweeper cleans it off every night. There
Is no absorption and We have vet to
see the first horse slip on, it, and we
have often seen them slip on Main

are back and forth on this street every
hour, and we would not trade it for any
street in Richmond. Judging from the
past three years experience with it.
we do not think 1t would be possible
to wear 1t out in fifty years. We had
an expert cement man here looking at
it last year, and he remarked that It.
