An Old-Fashioned Xmas.

What does Christmas mean to you?
A day off, few remembrances from
relatives and friends, and good din
ner--is that all? Surely you are 60
ing to make it an occasion for more
than usual rejoicing this year, real
fashioned Christmas Going to be
liberal in spirit and pocket, and scat
ter merriment as you never did before.
Been a little selfish. maybe, devoted
so much time to enjoying yourself that
you have forgotten other folks. Good
folks, now aren't they, the best folks
in the world. And you're just going
to show 'em how appreciative you are.
You don't like this modern way OF
turning dear old Christmas into an oc-
casion for trading and the exchange of
meaningless printed cards, and you
going to see all the friends you can
that day and shake hands with them
and pat them on the back and tell
them how glad you are to be with
them; and to those you cannot see you
are going to write long, warm -heartcd
letters, and tell them you want to hear
from them Oftener. OF course you will
make presents, more than ever, but
you're going to let the recipient know
that there is lot OF good, warm
heart beats back of every little gift
Isn't that how you feel about the
greatest of all birthdays ?-Christmas

Operators Lose Ont

An unexpected development in the
operation Of the DiDe.hour law for rail-
road employees is likely to follow the
the enforcement Of that measure. Many
of the railroads arc preparing to operate
their trains by means Of block signals
and telephones. If this project is put
into effect, thousands OF male telegraph
operators will be thrown OUT Of employ
ment and their places taken by wome q
at much lower salaries, since the intro
ducticn OF the telephone will render a
knowledge OF teIegraphy unnecessary.
Photographers declare that the trans
mission Of train oruers by telephone
will he so unsatisfactory and will result
in so many disasters that public senti.
ment will demand return to tie old
System.
IT was expected that the reduction in
the working hours OF railway telegraph
ers to nine hours would compel the rail-
roads to employ at least $500 additional
men ut once. 1t was also known that it
would be impossible to secure this
number Of men when needed, and it was
therefore hoped by the men that an in
crcase III wages would be part Of the
revolution planned.
The railroad decided that they would
rather spend millions i'll providing and
maintaining automatic block sisuals
which never go to sleep and which
never fai unless they spell "danger,"
than to spend the same money in main
tanning telegraph stations and telegraph
opera tors.
