 There was one editor who had the idea that he wasn't getting all that was due Nevertheless he published column after column of type and pie lures.

Raising the Curtain For Moment on
 One of -Life's Tragedies.

Raising the Curtain For a Moment on One of -Lifs's Tragediss. A recent incident which holds in fits simple outlines the possibility of past tragedy is described in the New York Times. It is another Illustration of how careless the world is of the indi vidual and how thick is the cloak which one may wrap about his per Sonality. Not long ago labOrer en- ployed by the Erie railroad in Jersey City was run over by a train and had his leg cut oil.
 A policeman teiephoned for an am- bulance. The injured man lay on a grass patch, apparently bleeding to death. Just then a typical railroad tramp in dirty rags sauntered along. He tapped a polieeman's elbow.
 May ask what's the matter, off, cer?' he inquired.
 Man bleeding to death." replied the policeman.
 Would you mind if looked at him?" asked the tramp. "I might be of service"
 "Go,ahead," responded the officer.
 Bending low over the wounded la borer. the tramp asked for water to wash his hands and then begged the crowd for clean handkerchiefs. With half dozen deft. rapid twists he made a tourniquet and stopped the flow of blood.
 "Are you a dOctOr?" some one asked as the man slipped away through the crowd.

Pomar of hahit.


 The power of habit was strikingly illustrated not long ago in a shirt waist factory. One woman who had done nothing but sew up the seams of sleeves for four years was taken off that particular job and was asked to run up seams in the body of the waists, She complained that the change made her so nervous that she could not work.
 But what is the difference?' asked the foreman. There Is nothing but a straight seam here, just the same as you have been used to-"
 'I know" replied the woman with true feminine logic. "but it isn't sleeves"
 And 1t did indeed prove to be a fact that owing to her four years of steady work on sleeves 1t took her fully that many weeks to overcome her nervous ness sufficiently to run the machine at her accustomed speed when sewing an other part of the waist.-Exchange.
