Then, again, if a man has the

with a heavy touch, it won't be long
before the machine will begin to

those machines cannot be made to

ITS all very well to speak of ma

Fremstad replied. 1T would, on the

of success she would also possess

WOMAN WITH $4,000 SALARY.
n. II. Rogers Private Secretary and
Her Responsibilities.

IT, ~. noSSlo TiiNatC SCIICbdIy AIN
Her Responsibilities.
H. II. Rogers is an exception among
the great financiers in having a
woman for his private secretary. This
extremely responsible spot is filled by
Miss X. l. Harrison, who receives for
her services a salary which is report
ed to be 10000 a year.
Miss Harrison has been with Mr..
Rogers for several years, says Sys-
TEN, and in that time has come to
know all of his business friends and
social acquaintance. When Mr.. Rog-
ers is out of town, as he usually is,
Miss Harrison runs the Office. She has
her stenographers, her clerks and her
Office boys, who obey her as their
chief.
Even when Mr.. Rogers is present,
his time is occupied only as she has
arranged for 1t; and it must be a very
unusual and extremely important
piece of business that can get a per-
sonal conference with even Miss Har-
rison. to say nothing of Mr.. Rogers,
until IL has been duly taken up by cor
respondenee and analysed and passed
upon.
Mark Twain once said that if he let
his correspondence go unanswered
long enough, it no longer became
necessary to answer it at all, and he
could throw away large bundles Of
neglected letters at a time. Perhaps
this influence-Mr. Rogers and Mark
Twain are fast friends-is felt in Miss
Harrison's Office; certain it is that
many letters arrive there merely to
find oblivion.
To Miss Harrison falls the duty OF
serving as Mr.. Rogers official buffer
more than that, as his representa-
tive. She herself has buffers, through
whom it is difficult to pass except by
prearranged appolntment-by letter.
Telephone messages are politely re-
qaested to be put in written form and
submitted by letter.

come as sleep.
The fear of death, which has been
SO enormously exploited in dramatic
literature, sacred and otherwise, is
said to be almost without existence
in sickness. Most patients have lost
it completely by the time they become
seriously iii.
Death and sleep are both painless,
according to DR.. Woods Hutchinson
in the American Magazine, and cause
neither fear nor anxiety by their APP
proach. II is one Of the most merci-
full things in nature that the over
whelming majority of the poisons
which destroy life, whether they are
those of infectious diseases or those
which are elaborated from the body's
own waste products, act as narcotics
and abolish consciousness long before
the end comes.
While death is not in any sense
analogous TO sleep, it resembles it
to the extent hat it is in the vast
majority of instances not only painful
but welcome. Pain racked and fever
scorched patients long for death as
the weariel toiler longs for sleep.
While many Of the processes which
lead to death are painful, death itself
is painless, natural, like the fading
of a flower OF the falling of a leaf.
Our dear ones drift out on the ebbirg
tide of life without fear, without pain,
without regret, save for those they
leave behind. When death comes
close enough so that we can see the
eyes behind the mask his face be-
comes as welcome as that of his twin
brother" sleep.
