Death Generally Painless.

Physicians and nurses, those whose
business it is to hang over weary sick
beds at all hours of the light and
darkness, are very generally Of the
opinion that most deaths are without
fear and painless. Only in rare in
stances in their experience is there
anything approaching the death bed
scenes of song and story. The an
clients knew how to keep their ap-
pointments with death with grace and
courtesy. 1t will be recalled that Soc
rates, "ugliest OF the sons of men,"
drank hemlock when sentenced to
death with all the courage that has
characterized the finest examples of
modern deathbeds. Heather though
he was, Augustus Caesar exhibited no
more fear of the future than any mod
ern who dies cheered by the hope that
the gates of better world are open
to receive him.

was right, he had erred, and the pen
atty was merited
Then the officials who had known
the engineer for decades and had
known his record, with not one black
mark against 1t until that last mis-
hap. reviewed their ruling. Techni-
cally Reynolds had been retired be-
fore that final run and hence he could
not be discharged, they said. The en-

Kissing beneath his touch
Reynolds went to work for the Lake
Shore railroad at Elkhart way back In
1868. On January 30 last, his seven

500 engineers who work out from Elk
hart. His record was absolutely
clear. his sight, hearing and physical
condition perfect, as indicated by Sc

January 20 he received letter from
his superintendent enthusiastically
complimenting him, but telling him
that he would be retired on February
in compliance with the new rules OF
he company providing for the pen
sioning of all employees over 10 years
of age
On January 81 he started on his
last run in a locomotive cab. Some
thing went wrong with the injector
and the water began running back out
of the boilers under the pressure OF
200 pounds of steam to the square
inch. He jumped to rectify 1t. and
in the minutes absence from his post,
flew past block signal. AS he re-
turned to his seat freight train

ABOUT THE BUSINESS WOMAN

finement.

From my work I have become con-
WINGED that because woman achieves
financial and mental independence, 1t
by no means follows that she need
lose whit of her feminine percep-
lions and refinements. AS think over
the long list of splendid women OF all
ages and conditions whom | have
known In the business world 1t seems
to me 1t would be difficult to find an
equal who possess more of the spirit
of true womanliness. And by true
womanliness | mean not alone nobil-
ity of character, but all those dainty
personalities of mind, body and soul
which are and always will be the ever
lasting Joy and distinction OF the true
woman. There comes to my mind in
this connection certain gentlewoman
of my acquaintance who for over
twenty years has worked in the Office
of a certain concern, and though her
work is essentially masculine in its
nature, and her days are passed en-
tirely among men, | never knew
gentler or more delicate personality
than hers. Violets, which she keeps
always on her desk, are quite as mt
ting to her in the environments OF an
Office as they would be had she never
passed out of the luxurious surround
ing OF her youth.--Eleanor B. Rich
ardson, in the Bookkeeper.

BACHELORS LIVE IN CLOVER
Certainly There Is No Need to Pity
Them in This Day and
Generation.

The typical old bachelor-crusty, ir-
ritable, solitary-seems to be passing
away. II indeed he is not already ex-
tinct. Nowadays there is every en-
enlargement for bachelordom. until
1t has developed from single state to
a united kingdom with royal palaces
in all great cities.
There was time when the typical
bachelor was pictured seated alone in
sadly neglected room, pushing a
reluctant needle through unyielding
cloth, as he strove awkwardly to sew
a button on his coat, using the side
wall of his room for thimble. That
is all done away with now, when the

TOAD THE FARMERS FRIEND
Destroyer of Injurious
Insects.

A pamphlet recently issued by Sec
rotary Wilson of the department of
agriculture pays a glowing tribute to
the toad According to this high au-
thority, few creatures Of its size have
suffered more from false witnesses.
1t is not true that 1t causes warts,
poisons infants or spoils cows milk.
On the contrary, it has an amiable
disposition, good singing yoice--for
those who like that sort of thing
and above all. most commendable in
dustry.

In the Old Days.

Fifteen years ago here in New
York 2s cents pound was the price
for best "Delmonico" steaks, those tri-
angular ones that are on the rib end
of hind quarter. and have no tender-
loin on. Fifteen years ago farmers
used to kill beef at home, haul 1t into
the village and peddle it out among
the housewives, weighing 1t on an Old
fashioned pair of steelyard scales
They would sell the whole soup bone
shank for 25 cents, round STEAK at
eight cents, and the choicest cuts at
most for 10 to is cents a pound.

Canvas lnq.


How "canvassing" got its election
significance is one of the unsolved
puzzles of etymology. The word ap-
pears originally to have meant toss
ing In a canvas or blanket, and thence
generally mishandling or assaulting.
"I'll canvass thee in thy broad car
dinars hat, is the Duke of Gloucesters
threat to the Bishop of Winchester
in king Henry VI" The next stage
of meaning was that of destructive crit
icism, from which to thorough discus
sion-"canvassing' a subject-was
simple enough. But how exactly do
we arrive at the election sense? Dr.
Johnson explained that the term
meant trying votes previously to the
decision" and derived it from canvas
as it signifies a sieve" The Oxford
dictionary, however, being unable to
find this use of the word, remains
unhappy about the question.-London
