Mrs. VIM. @. Clark. of Cleveland.
O., has just become the mother OF her
third set OF triplets. Between times
the stork has left four sets OF twins
at her domicile.
Although but SO years of age, Mrs.
Clark has been the mother OF IL chill
dren, seven OF whom are living. She
herself was q French girl and came
TO America when six years old.
She was married when twelve and
a year later twins were born TO her;
when fourteen she became the mother
OF triplets.
She herself has 20 brothers.
The proud papa Of the last set of
triplets is a blacksmith.
Mrs. Clark did the family washing
two days after the triplets were born.
She believes that homes without lots
of children are mere empty shells.
The remarkable record made by
Mrs. VIM. @. Clark, of Cleveland, o..
does not equal the records made by
many other mothers. according 10 his-

England. was thrice blessed with trip

But even this record was outdone
by a German woman at Dayton. o..

birth to sextuplets. Just think OF six
babies waking up at the same time at
night and all wanting a tired dad 10

IN THE WORLD OF LABOR.

The concentration of kindred trades
goes steadily forward in Germany. In
May last the three large unions,
transport workers, 96,623; lockers,
22,036, and seamen and firemen, TO-
6O4, at congresses held in Hamburg,
decided to amalgamate.
According to the latest available
statistics the number of trades rep
resented by labor unions in Greater
New York now exceeds 1900. Among
the new unions formed during the
past few months are those of the for
ceps finishers, umbrellamakers, wo-
mems combmakers, boys waistmakers
and Jewish bookbinders.

park commissioners all over the coun-
try will avail themselves OF the OPP
portunity OF getting at first hand in
formation regarding this important
subject.
at has frequently been said that
the money which has been expended
outside of the cities and villages Oh
the Improvement Of the so-called
State. roads, or main trunk lines, Is
wasted because the roads are not
properly maintained after being built.
In many instances the criticisms are
well founded, and the millions of dol
lars expended on road construction
have been as good as squandered, be-
cause the roads have been allowed to
deteriorate and to wear out without
being properly cared for.
The system adopted in France is
known as the patrol system, and the
same method has been adopted in New
York State, where over $500 miles OF
Macadam roads have been construct
ed and about 500 patrolmen are at
work repairing all the minor defects
in the highways. Each patrolman
covers about five miles of territory.
He Is provided with horse and cart,
filled with the various sizes of stone
and equipped with the necessary I'M
plements to repair all minor defects.
The work has been laid out and dir
ected under the personal supervision
OF the Hon. S. Percy Hooker, State
Highway Commissioner from New
York State, who will present at the
| st. Louis convention paper on Con-
tinuous and Systematic Road Main
tenance"
Although this system has been In
operation scarcely year, its economy
has already been demonstrated, as in
the contract system of repairs an al
lowance Of 20 per cent at least must
be made for the contractors profit, 10
per cent for supervision and 10 per
cent for contractors office, clerical
and supervision expense. Thus at
first hand at least 40 per cent is saved
In the course Of making these repairs,
and instead of having in many cases

who are retained in their positions
year after year and become expert
and proficient, not only in the making
OF Macadam road repairs, but in the
application of surface compounds;
which alleviate dust, and in resurfao-
ing roads with bituminous binders. No
State highway commissioner can afford
to take the responsibility of expend-
ing vast sums of money on the trunk
lines of his State without being con-
versant and familiar with the patrol
system, and by questioning Mr.. Hook
err after his address at st. Louis he
can apply to his own State the meth
DDS which have been so successfully
adopted in the State of New York"
Delegates from all over the country

numbers and the practical results
therefrom will contribute much to the |

one of the livest of issues in many |
communities.

"If you can keep your head when al

If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in

Or being hated don't give away to

And yet don't look too good. nor

'Tf you can dream-and not make

If you can meet with Triumph and
And treat those two impostors just

If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your
life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with
WORKOUT tools;
"If you can make one heap OF all your
winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch

And lose, and start again at your be-

And never breathe a word about

The Great Release.

Why should ! fear that ultimate

Why should l dread to take my way,
Through the same Swallowed path as

But can 1t be a shadowy road
Wherein both Youth and Genius
strobe?
Can it be dark, since Shakespeare
Its unknown length, to meet our God.
Since Shelley, with his valiant youth.
Fared forth 90 learn the final Truth:
Since Milton in his blindness went
With wisdom and high content;
The pathway when God called his
The pathwty when God called his
name;
And Dante, seeking Beafice,
Marched fearless down the deep
abyss?
Where Homer went, and Socrates,
Browning, and Keats, and such as
these.
Lincoln, and Sappho with her song
That echoes still for the vast throng;
Nero and strong Napoleon,
And calm, courageous Washington;
Great Alexander, Plutarch-names
That swept the world with deathless
flames

When the Lord Gods great Voice shall
call;
For I shall find the roadway bright
When l go forth some quiet r';ht;
Bright with their stars reflected
glow,
Brighter, since Christ too dared to go.

Tough.


Gee, but it's tough
When you've been away,
, To have to get up
At the break of day;
To shave in rush,
And eat in a hurry.
Then take up the grind
And-take care and worry
Of making money
And earning pay.
When you've only just learned
How to live and play.
Gee, but it's tough
When you've wooed the breeze
That comes salt-fresh
From the restless seas,
When you've stretched out fiat
In shady glen,
Away from the madding
Haunts of men,
To have to come back
From Dame Natures lap,
To crowded car -
And sticky strap.
''.r-'' !
Gee, but it's tough
When you've loafed along,
And got into tune
With the summer song,
And learned the pleasures
OF plants and bees,
The speech of mountains,
The speech of trees.
To wake in the morning
And only hear
The call for dividends
Ringing clear.
