Loyalty is the great lubricant in

slanderiarq, Women.

A tendency of modern times to lay
at the doors of women sins OF when
thew are not guilty is most regret
table. This is seen in the report
given currency in Washington that
committee had been appointed to mn
vestigate the character of women en-
ployed by the government, and that
MANY of them would be discharged
because Of their morals. Prompt de-
NAL of such a condition from per-
sons in authority should quickly ST.
Ience these ISLANDERS. Among certain
classes it is common to cavdl at the
character of women who are forced
to earn their daily bread. Because
these are compelled to come into
contact with men i'm the business
world. a few petty despoilers OF char
acter assume that they are not all
they should be. These innuendoeS
rapidly spread and are always eEr
larged and exaggerated in repetition
This lis the same kind of slanderous
assault to which women of the stage
are subjected. The whole class of
stage women is condemned i'm such
weak minds because a few of them
have been silly or indiscreet Work
ing women are not better or worse
as a class than women in amy other
walk of life But they are certainly
entitled to just as much respect, If
not more, than some others. -Pitts-

THE FIGHTING SPIRIT NEVER
SAYS DIE.

In writing of the American League
baseball game the American Boy
says:
The worlds series is spectular, and
III lis most coveted honor to Win 1t,
but it lis the long hard pull of the ses-
SONS contest, as 1T is in the game of
life. that tries mems souls and proves
the test of their strength, spirit, and
endurance That lis why the winning
of their league companicpship is the
greatest real honor that can come to
either of those clubs. That victory
was the greatest tribute imaginable
to the great fighting spirit that new
er says die and that never knows
er down and out, because it will not
when it lis whipped, and that MS new
er recognized or admit to itself that
it be DOWN and out. Game after game
those teams have hung ON and fought
ON and come up from behind, pulling
victory out of apparently decisive de-
feat, after many OF the discouraged
fans with only wishbcnes where
their backbones ought to have been,
had given it up and gone home-so it
was in the league races. Two weeks
before the end of the season botn
teams suffered a little slump and
were declared down and out. But
were they? Not much They gritted
their teeth and came back strong, with
their determined jaws set hard, and
fought it out to the end. and they
won.
So remember, boys, whether in the
games of the athletic field or the
game of life, to keep up your courage
and the spirit that never gives up nor
recognizes defeat, but fights on de-
terminedly and doggedly to the very
end 1t will win.

A Good Word for Fat Men.

For the past 1900 years the rela-
tive popularity, and efficiency of fat
men have been moOted questions.
Two Of the most distinguished citi-
zenS of that rather extensive period
have arrayed themselves ON the OPP
posite sides of the question. julius
Caesar declared, at least in the
hearing of William Shakespeare, that
he preferred to have about him fat
mem, sleek-headed and such as sleep
O. nights" On the other hand, Ed
mumd Day, who has given to the
world a couple of the most delightful
fat men TN all dramatic literature, &c.
clares: ''Shucks! Nobody loves a
fat man. Only he didn't say
''shucks To the literature. of this
all-absorbing question Philadelphia
contemporary contributes the suggest
ION that Mr.. Taft has established for
all the time i'm American history the
fat man as an institution entitled to
public esteem. He is Wanting in nei-
Their avoirdupois nor in mental poise.
He is thickheaded only in regard TO
obese. but not lethargic either men
tally or physically. Some enc re-
marked long ago that i'm some fat me
the fat predominateS and in others
the men predominates. In Mr. Taft
lit is the man. The future political
fashion historian will probably note
that during the closing years of the
first decade and the early years of
the second of the twentieth century
the Americans were their big men
large. Mr.. Taft discounts the effic-
acy of the "lean and hungry Cas-
sius'' whom Caesar disliked and he
Mr. Days pessimistic de-
spair as to the possible degree of
public confidence and esteem which
a fat man may attain This is at
least keeping up with the procession
in these days of historical icomoclasm,
if nothing more. May not the fat
man after ALL be the victim of cir
cumstances? Is thinness a. condition
precedent to the possession of lovable
qualities or the accumula tion of
kindly Wishes on the part of ones
fellow citizens? There is much to be
said in favor of the fat man, even If
and Henry VIII were in

The Age of Concrete.

That the present age is the age OF
steel is patent to all observers, and
IL is equally clear to those who attach
mere importance to tendencies than
to the present size of things that the
coming age IS to be the age of con-
crete. Steel corrodes: The keeping
UP of a steel bridge, for example, is
a matter of constant vigilance Cor
crete takes no harm from the weather
and needs no paint or other protec-
tion. Steel construction is complex
A steel truss is thing OF living
strains, subject to an expansion and
contraction that constantly vary the
conditions of it's service. For instance
i'm summer the stresses Within the
steel arches of the Eads bridge are
so different from the winter stresses
that parts of the arch may be re-
moved in the summer which Sustains
great weights in the winter, and vice
versa But concrete forms are sim
pie. The factor of safety is large.
There is nothing which requires ad-
justment as the seasons succeed each
other. The steel fabric lis as the
spiders web-beautiful, marvelously
STRONG for it's weight, but transitOry,
fragile withal If left to themselves,
how long would the steel structures
of this age remain standing? But
the concrete builder has copied ma
ture i'm her eternal mood. Concrete
lis liquid stone. The man who builds
with 1T .emulates the architecture of
the ribs and buttresses of the earth
itself Steel is made from product
-iron-plentiful but not inexhaus-
tible But the promise of concrete is
i'm every limestone ledge and bank of
shale.-St. Louis Republic.

LOYALTY.

Loyalty is that quality which prompt
a person to be true to- the things he
undertakes. 1t means definite direc-
tom, fixity of purpose, ballast, and
work of health and success.
Nature helps the loyal man. And if
you are careless, slipshod, indifferent,
nature assumes that you wish to be
nobody and grants your desire Sue
cess hinges ON loyalty. Be mue to
your art, your business, your employ
er, your house.
The mental is man who is disloy-
al to his work.
No man ever succeeded in business.
