There lives in Philadelphia re
markable man named Taylor. who has
devoted himself for nearly quarter
OF century TO the Improvement or
the technical processes Of Industrial
concerns.
He is a worker OF wonders
He can double the output of loco
motive plant merely by rearranging
the machinery.
He has reyolutionized the ancient
art OF bricklaying by teaching gang
OF masons to move together like a
football team.
He can quadruple the days stint of
a lot of unskilled laborers by just
showing them the right way TO pick
up pig-iron and load il on car.
In scores of factories that have
submitted themselves TO Mr.. Taylor 5
wizardry there are, all told, today
about fifty thousand workmen who
are twice as effective as they former
~ were-and like their jobs twice as
Well
For Mr.. Taylor is no speeder-up of
sweated toilers He is the furthest
possible from that.
His yoke is easy. He is an artist in
the designing of facile processes. a
pioneering explorer of the lines OF
least resistance.
And back of all his special inven-
tions and discoveries there is valid
philosophy OF human nature.
He knows how To mobilize the crea-
tive forces that lie hidden In average
men.
The factories in which he has min
istered have undergone profound
moral revolution.
His Utmost secret is the abolition OF
all arbitrary power-the elimination of
the boss.

LEGATION.
Why should people assume, be.
cause they spend money with 8
newspaper, that they own it
that it hasn't right to tell the
truth if it is OF public interest?
There is moral responsibility
of the newspaper towards its
readers. 1t SHOULD print and
it MUST print, if it is ever to
acquire a reputation worth while,
everything that protects its read
ers in every way.
If there is a wrong being per-
petrated on the people it is the
newspapers business to try, by
publicity. to stop il. and it is the
advertisers duty, also, if he does
not come up TO the mark in the
matter of business integrity and
in the matter also of surrounding
his customers with safety, to say
TO the newspaper that has the
courage to do the right thing:

THE TWO

And the FaIsehood That the
Maker Told About Them.
BY AGNES G. RRoGAN.

AS I walked up the garden path be-
tween the stiff rows Of flaming holly
hooks l saw Gertrude's grandfather
sitting on the veranda. He greeted
me with his delightful air of old time
gallantry. and l changed my purpose
Of joining the gay throng in the old
fashioned drawing room and dropped
into a chair at his side. l was still
wearing my quaint little automobile
bonnet, and my face flushed with
pleasure at the admiring light in his
fine old eyes, but l was soon to learn
that it was not my face or my bonnet
which had evoked his approval, but
an awakened memory from the long
ago.
And then the old soldier told this
simple story:
The girl who had worn the flower
wreathed bonnet must have been beau
tiful indeed, with her rosy cheeks and
bright dark eyes and the black curls,
which bobbed coquettishly just above
the two rosettes which were placed
upon either side of the bonnet. They
were fashioned Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
rosettes-with a rosebud center in
each, and when her youthful lover
babe her farewell as he went to an

getmenot rosette which he begged as a
keepsake to carry away to war.

see your face" he said. And the girl

Bring it safely back to me-" she
besought him. II shall always be
waiting for you"
1t was this promise which gave him
courage through all the privation and
unspeakable horror Of war. Far away
in a peaceful little village the one girl
would always be waiting hopefully for
his return and when he could look
into her eyes again.
Well, he was wounded at last and
lay suffering upon the battlefield. try
ing to endure silently the racking pain
until the doctor and nurses might come
to his relief.
He wondered DULY if they would be

seemed suddenly to appear before

him, laughing from the depths Of her
bonnet. She had been gay and happy
always, he remembered. Would it
grieve her now to learn that he would
never come back. Yet she must know.
He aroused himself with a great eff
fort and turned blindly toward a man
who lay half reclining upon the
ground.
There's a little keepsake in my
pocket" he said haltingly, "and If all
should be up with me I'd like you to
send it to a girl in Hampton town
with message"
The other young man leaned for
ward and with swift and gentle fin
gers drew forth the crumpled knot Of
forgetmenots. He stared at it unbe-
lievingly for q moment and then
laughed. It was not pleasant laugh

looked up, startled at the sound. and
then waited, listening:
''See here" the man said presently
"a girl in Hampton gave you this at
parting promised to be faithful and
true, waiting for you at the end, Ell?
You see, happen to know all about
1t, for there were two true lover
knots upon that bonnet Of hers, and
I guess can match you"
With an exclamation he threw a Sec
ond rosette upon the ground, where
the incongruous bits Of blue and pink
so exactly alike lay between them.
The wounded lad grew white to the
lips. "You mean that She he whis-

Prescott, our own great historian,
was blind, as were Homer and Milton,
and Sir Walter Scott wrote while
racked with pain.
Burns was the son Of small farm
er, and at an early age showed a fond
ness for learning which he had few
opportunities for gratifying.
Sir Isaac Newton while attending
school was considered by his teachers
but little better than an idiot, and
Sheridan, the celebrated playwright,
was presented by his mother to tutor
as ''blockhead."
Handel was nearly fifty years Of age
when he published the first of those
musical compositions which have inn
mortalized his name.
Andersen, the popular Danish au-
thor, was the son Of a cobbler. He
spent his early years on the bench and
scrubbed his first stories during his
resting periods.
Demosthenes, the Grecian orator and

Cross Questions-Crooked Answers.
This is an old game, but can be made
very amusing All sit in a circle. The
first one begins by whispering some
question to his left hand neighbor,
such as "Do you like apples?' The
second player must remember the
question asked him, and he answers
No. by saying. Yes; the nice, red,
juicy kind" This answer belongs to
No. /, and he must remember it. No.
2 asks No. 3 question, being careful
to remember his answer, as it belongs
to him. Suppose he asks, care you
interested in comets?" and he is an
swered, Eyes; look for them every
night" Thus No. has question and
answer that belong to him.
Every one in turn asks question
and gives an answer, remembering the
question he was asked and the answer
given him, which he must give to-
gether in his turn. When this has
gone all around No. begins by saying
aloud. II was asked, DO you like
cats?' and the answer was, Yes; the
nice, red. juicy kind" No. 2 says.
Il was asked. do you like apples?
and the answer was, Yes; look for
them every night,,'" and so on.
