When was nineteen I went abroad
and settled myself in Paris.
1 studied in an art school for a win
ter and in the spring went to Switzer-
land, partly for rest and partly to
sketch One morning when 1 was
staying at Lusanre climbed TO
position where L would get view to
put on canvas. and 1 set up my easel
beside a road. While 1 was at work
a girl about my own age, though of
larger build, came along, walking
westward. Seeing me, she stopped
and asked me in French if she was
on the road to Geneva. I told her
that she was, and, noticing that she
was travelling alone, as l was, I felt
drawn toward her. I asked her if she
would come and rest beside me. She
accepted the invitation and after
glancing at my unfinished work threw
herself on the grass near me.

Both Sides Of rhe Shield.

1t is peculiar coincidence or
something else that the men and IN
terests in this country that are OBJ
jecting TO the Canadian reciprocity
are in the same class with the men
and the interests that are raising OBJ
jections on the Canadian side OF the
line. From both OF them come the
most dolorous predictions of the dire
calamities which are TO follow the
adoption OF the agreement. and the
Inconsistency Of their position is east
~ seen in that they predict the same
things TO happen IN each country be
cause Of the removal Of the tariff
from the same or similar articles
The men and interests who are
burdening the air with their protests
are the same ones that have proftted
by and grown rich from extortionate
tariffs. IL would seem. 20 hear them
tell If, that the tories OF Canada are
just as much afraid OF US as we are
Of them. The tories Of Canada and
the stand-patters OF the United States
are of the same kind and kidney.
They have lived so long OF the public
that they can't see really how they
are going TO get along n the people
should come in for their share What
they really fear Is that If a limited
amount OF reciprocity should be tried
IL would demonstrate 10 the public
the real fallacy OF the whole protec-
tive system

HER HAIR TURNED GREEN.
Woman Sues Hairdressers, but They
Deny ResponsibiIity.

"O"'a" Sues F1airoresSers, put They

Changing your hair is like changing
your luck. You take the risk, accord
ing 10 afffdavits presented to the New
York supreme court by Mines. Polly
and Klark, hairdressers, accompany
ing their application for dismissal Of
SUITE brought against them by AIDE
line K. Lewison, who asks $4,000
damages from the firm. She alleges
that her prematurely gray hair turn
ed green and her scalp and complex
ion pink while she was seeking a re-
turn of the raven blackness that had
been the original shade of her locks.
The San Francisco earthquake is
blamed by the plaintiff for the change
of her hair from black. to gray. She
recites visits to the New York hair
dressers and their application Of
liquids which, it was hoped, would re-
store the natural tint. Following this
action, the plaintiff declares, her hair
became a startling shade of green.
and soon her skin was painfully af-
fected. Nervousness and suffering re-
sultant from these conditions caused
the plaintiff great suffering and mental
anguish, she alleges
In asking dismissal of the suit the
hairdressers declared that they offer
no guarantee Of success of their treat
agreed to accept whatever risk was
entailed by their cooperation in her
efforts TO make her hair black again.

doing so did not appear to occur TO
her. She asked me what was my
nationality, and when 1 told her / was
an American she at once showed an
eagerness to hear anything 1 would
tell her about my country. But 1
found she could tell me more about
the underlying principles on which
our government rests than could tell
her.
What a grand thing IL is," she said,
that union of free and independent
states surrounding a common center
at the capital. In the eastern hemi-
sphere all points the other way, not
from the periphery to the hub. but
from the hub to the periphery. Our
governmental centers inherited from

the people. We pay a large price for
them and get nothing in return. Our
problem is to throw of these excres-
cences that have served their term OF
usefulness and are rotting like so
many eorpses."

mere girl, had such a knowledge Of our

about customs of which she could have
no knowledge without visiting Amer
ica. She kept me talking on these
matters till noon, then arose to 90 on.

Some Incidents In Johnson's Life.

Some Incidents In Johnson's Life.
At the age of fourteen Tom johnson
became an Office boy at 81 week In
the foundry OF T. @. Coleman at Lou
isville, KY. He swept the ONCE, ran
errands and picked up scraps that were
in other peoples way. B. du Pont or
the family of powder makers was part
owner of the foundry. One day he
saw the lad rush out of the office into
the street, pick up a bit Of iron and
return with IT to the foundry scrap
heap.
"Why did you do that?" inquired
Du Pont.
'eWhy, SIR" replied the boy, "there
was no use wasting It They can put
it in the furnace and use it over
again"
Du Pont thereupon gave Johnson q
place with him in the street car bust
ness at 81 a week
In those days each passenger drop
ped his fare into a box on the street
car, and at certain points the money
was taken from the box by employees,
called drawers. One of the rules OF
the company required the drawer TO
deposit each sack of money In the Of
fee safe and close the door of the safe
No one bot the drawers had access to
the room. and they carelessly got into
the habit Of dropping their sacks upon
the dcor Of the room until evening,
when all were put into the safe at
once.
One day the chief drawer was sick,
and Johnson was sent to take his place.
He read the rules carefully, and after
drawing the money from his first car
be bounded upstairs, put the sack in
the safe and slammed the door.
what are you doing that forF'' de-
manded the bookkeeper.
Because the rules say So" said Tom
over his shoulder. as he rushed out to
catch another car.
After this had happened a dozen
times the bookkeeper began row, de-
cIaring that Johnson's action was
reflection on the Office mans honesty.
Mr.. Du Pont happened TO drop in in
the midst OF the dispute, when John
son explained that he was merely obey
ing the rules. He was made chief
drawer on the spot, and at the age of
seventeen became superintendent of
the road.
An incident occurred while Johnson
was a member of congress in 1891
which showed that, while as bust
ness man he would take advantage of
the favoritism of his government, as
a citizen and politician he would fight
privileges as economically unjust.
Johnson at the time was owner of
steel mill. He startled his colleagues
by moving that the duty on steel rails
be removed. MT. Dalzell, the Republic
an leader, interrupted to ask if John
son as a producer were not a bene-
fciary of the duty on steel rails.
johnson replied that as a member of
congress he represented not his mills,
but his constituents.

The Argus has not intended to con-
vey either Of the suggestions contain
ed in the above brief communication
No public body is, or should be. free
from criticism at any time. or for any
period Of time But there is a differ
ence between criticism and condemna-
ton Premature condemnation OF the
commission is what should be with
held, according to the Judgment of The
Argus. Criticism is the right Of al
people, but condemnation without alb
solute proof is unworthy, notwithstand-
ing that men may have their own ideas
or even suspicious. and have SsEfect
right TO express them.
On the second proposftioss - city
employees are presumed 10 be imcom-
petent, or for any other reason unfit,
the best way to ascertain is TO try
them out and II they prove 30 they
should be promptly separated from
the municipal service. It is presumed
that all employees were selected on
their merits and without considera-
tons of friendship or politics. At
least that IS the intent Of the law and
if among the employees there are
those who are not efficient and who
have got on through a pull the
quicker it is found out the better.
Nothing that is not right should be
Tolerated indefinitely" The Argus
has taken the position that the new
commission should be given fair and
reasonable chance in order that its
acts and motives may be accurately
and honestly judged.
