Reconciliation.

ReCOncluauOu.
(By Chas. ". Hubner.)
She came when walked by May time
weather,
The first rosebuds their leaves un-
furled,
And hope and JOY and love together,
Went singing round the happy
world.
And as she fowered and slow ex-
panded,
To perfect grace, no charm denied;
We lived as in some world enchanted,
Where in all things seem glorifled.
We did not dream that God had sent
her,
But as messenger of His;
To teach our hearts to be more tender,
To show how holy beauty is.
So when her mission Mere was ended,
And God had called her back to Him,
Our hearts with agony were rendeG,
Our eyes with bitters tears were
dim.
And as with faltering feet We bore
her,
To her last earthly resting place,
And saw the sod heaped darkly DER
her,
Hiding the glory of her face.
We turned away with stony faces,
Refusing to be comforted;
God is not love, the heart misplaces,
Its trust that thinke1h so, We said
But now ashamed Of foolish chiding,
And grief as vain as it was wild,
In God with child like trust conflding,
Our will with His is reconciled.
For had she lived, cur hearts dear
treasure,
Who knows what grief, what pain,
what tears,
What loss no earthly guage can meas
ure,
Might have been hers in after years.
Now safe from time, the rude despoil-
er,
Free from all fear, and pain, aud
strife.
Where death is not, NOE sin can
her,
Her soul has won immortal lie.
And though We miss her earthly Pres
ence,
We feel, thank God, that still she
holds,
Through her ce!estia! spirit essence,
Divine communion With our souls.

while government statistic, Show THAT,
pre-eminently, sh is fitted by nature
to get what she is after
When the department OF commerce
and labor solemnly determined to in-
v5sIga,v the industrial status Of tho
telephone girl, the first thing ii learn
ed was that she belongs TO a corps OF
picked feminity. The companies, be-
cause of switchboard requirements,
won't hire any girl whose reach Of
arms is less than (. certain standard
extreme, and that shuts out all girls
lower than five feet in height. They
are sized up, on applicant eNamina-
ton, for complexion, as Indicating
condition OF digestion and nerves; for
frmness of chin and positiveness of
expression, as indicating stability OF
character; for body weight, as indi-
eating state of health; for neatness of
appearance, as indicating Orderliness,
and for apparent age, as indicating
that they are neither too young nor
too cid for the strain OF the joo.
Those qualifications, plus the prime
requisites Of acuteness Of hearing and
fuency or articulation, are precisely
the ones that make the successful
candidate tor marriage. Cupid himself
couldn't have defined more enticingly
the peaches he most loves to use in
the temptation of men. But at that
stage the telephone companies part
ways with him and do their best to
emulate Bluebeard.
The fascinating possessor OF all
these perfections is immured the
whole day in that mysterious apart
ment known as "Central,' and longing
man may not gaze upon her alluring
countenance. All he can do is exc
crate her staccato voice-if he's one
of the married ones whose soul is
bent on business. Somehow or other,
as experience proves, the other kind
so often finds that voice Of hers so
filed with enhancing cadences and
melting tones that, on the average,
only three years elapse before Blue
beard, in the person Of the company,
has to rustic around for another oc-
cupant of Central, while her predeces-
sor is off on honeymoon.
The hello girls wages range from
S22.40 per month, in Nashville, Tenn,
tc s36.96 in New York city, while the
biggest of all the phone companies
pays an average monthly wage of
S30.91. That does suffice to hold them
for a while, but for while only.
When the usual three years are up,
off the hello girl goes, to marry and,
like as not, to live on some mans
S3O.91 per month with all the pristine
faith Of woman that what is enough
for one ought to be enough for two.
Every year in Chicago alone 1900 he'll
10 girls quit the realm of romance,
where they act as the goddesses out
side of the machine, to try their own
particular adventures in the land of
love and marriage, where the rule is
the simple one Of the stronger, and
where there isn't any bar against an
swering back.

LOVE, MARRIAGE AND
THE TELEPHONE GIRL.

When Dan Cupid slips s1yly around
seeking what mischief he can do these
days, his favorite side partner is tbs

er, leader-on, to sacrifices, his most
devoted ally-and, at last, his most
ruthlessly sacrificed victim.
Being what she is, a woman, the
alliance is the one which, more Than
all others, seems to appeal to her .ond
nature: and when it comes to the sac
rifce, the tender-hearted hello g1r' IS
there with the goods-which goods are
guaranteed by the exacting companies
that employ her as being specially Sc
lected, we'll above grade and warrant
ed sound of wind, limb and hearing.
The people who know most about
her and her helpful qualities wonder
how Cupid was able to do business
before she blew into it, The telephone
companies are in constant fever OF
anxiety as to how they keep on doing
business while she blows out of it.

In her vicarious role, she is merely
the Disembodied Voice-nothing more

certainly does help the parted lovers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.--The Wall

"walI street early last week was
almost in condition of coma. Trad
ing was stagnant and speculation at
a standstill. At the beginning of the
last half of tie week, however, the
market was suddenly lifted out of the
rut and the upward movement was re-
sumed. This was due to the fact that
the market had been sold out and
stocks were cheaper than money.
