TO THE DELEGATE.

{ Mr.. Delegate: You who are chosen
ito represent the men Of this country
lat Chicago in convention should stop
Along enough to think how to frame
lyour platform, for the betterment of
mankind in more respects than one.
Frame it for the betterment, not for
yourselves alone, but for the wife and
|mother at home, whose voices you will
mot allow to mingle in the plea for a
better plan of government.
You seem to think she has no inter-
est at stake. She has more than you
You only look to yourselves and give
no thought to the wife and mother. If
she is capable Of raising voters for the
ruling of this great land of ours she
surely should have some considera-
ton.
If you think the polls are not a pro-
per place for her then I think her
wishes at least should have some con-
sideration. Look at the men you have
ruined by your vote. For you don't
stop to think how many you ruin by
allowing the manufacture of intoxi-
eating liquor. You don't think of the
heSAO ShiAoiCA yOu nave CduSSu 10 go
hungry by your vote. Nor do you con-
slider, II any mother had the capabil-
1ty of raising and governing me until
] could cast a vote, should not her
wish be regarded in the casting of that
vote? Do away with the manufacture
OF liquor in any form for four years
and not allow it to be sold nor that
which Is ready for sale and see if the
expenses of this city would not be re-
lduced.
You would not need so many police,
no court would have to be maintained,
mo city jails would be needed and
many happy homes would be the re-
suit
No. She is not considered She can

has loved and cared for until man.
hood dragged down to the
lowest plane. and not a word is she
allowed to utter. She has to sit and
see the destruction go on
On the other hand If her wish or
vote had brought on the present condi-
ition you would not show her any mer-
tcy.
And now, Mr.. Delegate look we'll to
the framing of your platform, for
yours is not the voice of the people,
only of man.

CHAIN CABLES,
Severe Tests to Which They Are Sub
jscted Before Beina Used.


One weak link in q cable may mean
the loss of great ship worth a mil
lion pounds or more. so before being
used every one of the great chain
cables used in the navy or merchant
service is carefully tested. The ap-
paratus employed is q most ingenious
one.
The cable is laid In a sort of long
trough. one end being fastened to an
enormous steel hawSer, which is pass
ed round a revolving drum, the other
attached to hydraulic ram.
The machinery is worked from an
adjoining building, no one being allow
ed in the cable shed while the testing
is in progress. If chain does break
under the terrific strain to which it is
subjected it simply smashes every
thing near it and may bring the whole
roof down.
The operator in the next room has
before him an ordinary looking pair of
scales. but the small weights which he
places upon it represent as many tons
as they actually weigh pounds.
While the weights go into the scales
a loud creaking and grooming is heard
through the thick partition as the

GETTING READY.

GETTING READY
They were getting ready to play
house"
The house was wonderfully made.
with a clothesline for the framework
and a bedspread for covering. The
walls consisted Of old shawls and odd
garments.
Inside four sticks driven into the
ground represented bedposts and box
the dresser. The kitchen held many
utensils. while in the parlor there was
a davenport almost big enough for one
girl to sit upon.
1t was Saturday afternoon.
For hours the little girls had Skin
mished about the different homes,
bringing a garment here and a box
there.
And finally when all was ready to
begin housekeeping it was time to so
home. There was no chance to rock
the dolls or receive company or hold
an afternoon tea or prepare a meal.
And, moreover. they must carry the
stuff back to their homes. Aud the
father of the girl on whose premises
the house" had been built scolded
them because they had Uttered up his
back yard with trash"
Well. Of such is our life.
We are all children little larger
grown, and we are forever getting
ready TO have good time. Always
we plan and fetch and carry. antici-
pating the day when we shall enjoy
ourselves.
And before we know it it is almost
time TO so home.
We plan an education. Surely when
our diplomas shall be earned it will be
easy sailing. But commencement day,
to which we looked forward as the
end. was but the beginning of prepare

Now. when we shall have married
and settled down. But then comes
the baby-the real doll-and to get
the rabbit skin to wrap the Baby
Bunting in" is the commencement of n
long hunt.
Play day? To be sure
When the children are educated and
settled the work Of carrying and build
ing will be ended and we shall have a
good long breathing spell. and. faith,
we shall need il.
But the westering sun is low. and
we are not so keen to play as in the
morning. and we must take care of
the little we have. because we cannot
earn as once we did. and
And then we go home
Well, If the girls but realized. they
got a lot Of fun out of their planning
and their building. and so must we.
Therefore let us take what joy may
come to us from the passing moment.
And when It is all over may no one
scold us for having Uttered up his back

FIRE DANGER AT SEA.
How Flames Can Sweep the inside ~
Even q Metal Ship.
July so. 1912.

Even . Metal Ship.
The danger from fire on a transat-
lantic liner Is more serious than is gen
orally believed. 1t is much greater
than the danger from collision and is
becoming more and more dangerous
with the increased outlay upon luxury
and display. The main structure OF the
ship and most OF its essential parts are
of metal, but many OF the fittings. near
ly every feature of ornament and every
trapping OF luxury. are highly infiam-
mable.
No one who has not been aboard the
Spanish wrecks at Santiago can con-
ceive how fire can sweep the inside OF
even a metal ship. Admiral Cervera
described TO me the experience on
board the Teresa In these words: "The
second shot that came on board set rs
on fire. The fire main was damaged.
Soon we were unable to cope with the
fire. 1t swept through her from bow
to stern. There was not space as big
as the palm OF your hand where life
could have been sustained. An insect
could not have lived on board. We had
to get overheard or be burned"
1t is true the Spaniards had not cut
out their woodwork and thrown over
board all unnecessary infiammables, rs
we had In the American fleet. but tho
inflammability of one of their war
ships was much less than that of n
luxurious ocean liner.-Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobson in Engineering
Magazine.
