WOMEN TO TAKE MEMS JOBS.
Expected That Many Male Operators

Employment

Washington, March 5.-An unex-
pected development in the operation
of the nine hour law for railroad
employees is likely to follow the en-
forcement of that measure. Accord
ing to advices received in Washing
ton, many railroads are preparing
to operate their trains by hSans of
block signals and telephones If this
project is put into effect, thousands
of male telegraph operators will be
thrown out of employment and their
places will be taken by women at
much lower salaries, since the in
PRODUCTION of the telephone will rem
der knowledge of the Morse code
unnecessary.
Telegraphers declare that the
transmission of train orjers by tele-
phone will BE- SO unsatisfactory and
result in SO many disasters that pub
lie sentiment will demand return
to the old system.
1t was expected that the reduction
in the working hours OF railway
telegraphers to nine hours would
compel the railroads to employ at
least 5000 additional men at once.
1t was also known that it would be
impossible to secure this number OF
men when needed, and 1t was there

THE BALLAD OF THE LOVER

Now who are you at heavens gate
who make no word nor prayer
But boldly stand with lifted hand
AS you would enter there?
What is the worth that lends you strengt
The unsheathed word to dare?
Now by what right of service done,
Ere yet the life sands ran,
Speak then the deed that we may read
or yet we bless or ban.
'I was a lover true" quoth he,
when l was living man."
Nav, but your hands are empty hands
wherein no hands were pressed,
No triumph lies within your eyes
Nor burns upon your breast;
No stain of granted kisses shows
About your mouths unrest.
Now, an you lie not. show the sign
That you were lover true.
No word spake he, but silently
His clinging mantle drew
And barred the wound wherewith his hearI
Was broken through and through

Know the Truth and Be Free

The rope and it's undeniable achieve
ments constitute a fixed determined,
accomplished act. Since the day when
Christ Jesus prophesied that "ye shall
know the truth and the truth shall
make you Free there have been bill
lions of men on earth, all intent on get
ting out of trouble. Not one of them
ever found the rope-the scientific rule
of practice whereby evil is eXtermi-
mated. 1t is, perhaps, no wonder that
you repine because no great man has
done this thing, but is there any ra-
tionality in the demurrer against the
great woman who verify hath accom-
plished the fact?
You are not asked to worship the
rope You are not asked to worship the
woman, indeed there is no place for an
apotheosis in Christian Science prac-
tice. You are simply to learn that the
Mind (which was also in Jesus Christ"
is the Master of every conceivable evil
and hath abolished "the law of sin and
death" in accordance with the will and
law of our supreme God. Some day it
may be yours to understand this great
transaction and to discern the superb
fitness of all it's parts, and when you
do so understand you will be satisfied
and you will be glad that it came
through a woman. Moreover, you Will
learn, some day, that the woman who
discovered the rope and uncoiled 1t in
the sight of the world and over the
brink of human misfortune, has been
obliged ceaselessly to continue her
watch, whereby to keep it there. You
will also learn that while doing this she
has been subjected to every conceivable
assault of evil and yet has endured and
labored and won for humanity; and
when you know all about the unspeak-
able travail of this ministry you will
wonder if you have ever heard of
man since the day of primitive Chris
tianity who was equal to such task
