the other. She had no particular plan,
but was obstinately insistent that when
she found one the other sisters should
back her up.
Neither one of the three spinsters slept
very well that night. They were doleful
also the next day. Mosher called, but he
had nothing pleasant to report If any
thing the men were flrmer in their at
titude He said that comparatively little
work was being done in the shops The
spirit of rebellion was rife. Most of the
time the men were in groups discussing
the situation
All this added to Miss Kate's determina-
tion not to submit. She ate little dinner
that night. Neither did the other sis
ters. They retired early, but not to-
peaceful dreams. Shortly after midnight
Miss Kate got the idea she had been
searching for during the previous two
days. She jumped out of bed and went
in and aroused her sisters and told them
of 1t. They could not see it as she did.
but were too worn out by perplexity
and general worry to oppose her in any
thing she suggested She got them to
agree to support her in any move she
made. Then she went back TO her room
and went to sleep. The first thing in
the morning she teephoned to Mosher.
1t didn't take long to explain the scheme
TO him.
Bully for you, Miss Kate" he shouted.
Il admire your courage. Write ii out
yourself, sign it and have your sisters
sign too. But don't sign unless you
mean it" a
Before 10 a m Miss Kate was down
to the factory. She had a long sheet
of paper on which there was some writ
ing. She handed this to Mr. Mosher for
his inspection He read 1t over and then
pondered for nearly a minute
"Wil you stick to this, Miss Kate?'
he asked.
Have you any reason for doubt?' she
inquired

of the big bulletin board. She hardly

The first man to read this proclama-
tion gasped. Then they looked at Miss
Kate. They saw determination stamped
back into the shops and spread the news.
Within an hour every employe who was
ar work that day had read the notice.
Little was done in the big factory for the
rest of the day. Berkmann was sent for.
He scoffed when he read the notice 1t
was bluff. he said He harangued the
men in first one building and then an
other. and was we'll satisfied with the re-
sponse he received. At o'clock the men
marched out. They were surly and de-

1t Is long time from p. m. Saturday
until a. m. Monday. In that period the
men had time to consider. The older ones
had vivid recolleetions of old man Fas-
ton. He was mild appearing, but once
he had made up his mind to thing he
rarely changed. They got to thinking that
the sisters were a good deal like Faston
Then they wondered what would become
of them II the works did not reopen.
More than 1900 men would be Idle. Hun
dreds of homes would be broken up. There
would be suffering. want and distress in
many households A few of the old timers
went up to see the three old maids. They
came away convinced that they would
carry out their threat. These men re-
ported to the others They called atten-
tion to the fact that two words in that
notice were underscored. These two
words were every" and forever" 1t was
purely feminine to underscore those
words. That understanding had senti-
mental effort upon the men. 1t gave them
a panicl<y feeling.
Long before o'clock on Monday morn
ing there was a great crowd around the
Faston plant. 1t was made up not only
of employees, but of many citizens and
idlers. The whole city had become
aroused. If the works closed down for
all time it would be a serious matter in
deed for the people at large. At 6:45 the
doors were open. A few of the older EN-
ployes started to go In. Some of the
younger ones hesitated minute or two
and then they followed suit. In a little
while the crowd was pouring in fast
that the big main entrance was jamned.

Mr. Mosher is not very clear to what

very coherent in her remarks. but later
that day when she was more composed

shoulders. But you might as well de-

of this except to fight or surrender IL

When Mosher left the three old maids
he had the satisfaction Of knowing they
were utterly miserable. He went back
to his office and was in i'll humor for the
rest of the day. That afternon Miss
Kate went to the shops and talked with
some of the men who had worked for
her father 80 years more. She tried
te learn from them what benefit they saw
for themselves in recognition OF the
union. They were not very clear in their
statements. They were not SO strong for
the union as they were for some form
of protection. They though unionism
might bring about a reduction of hours
They had a feeling. too, that her father
had not treated them exactly right in
failing to keep his promise to turn the
business over to his employees when he
had made a fortune. 1t was true, they
confessed, that they received more than
union wages and that they had been en-
poyed steadily in dull times as well as
in busy. They would hate to strike.
they acknowledged but If a strike was
ordered they would have to go out with
the others.
Miss Kate argued with them. She told
what she and her sisters had done for
the city. She told of the library her sis
ter Jane had endowed, of the hospital
her sister Lucy had built, of the various
ways in which she had spent her own
money. The men recognized all this but
their attitude did not change. Some of
them limited that ii would have been bet
ter if some of the profits of the big fac
tory had gone to the men direct instead
of having been expended in public bene-
factions.
She had hoped for a more sympathetic
reception. She went back home with
a full sense of defeat. That night the
three sisters held council. Miss Jane did
not know what to do, Miss Lucy was for
surrender. Miss Kate wouldn't think of
such a thing. Her fighting blood was
up. She argued with one and then with

them on properly religious founda-

Excelency Dryander confirmed his hold
on the Kaisern by his Christian humility.
1t happened in connection with the Kai-
serin's orphan school at Potsdam. Dry
ander took firece dislike to persons in
the management and he criticised them
severely and got the Kaiser to entrust
the work to others. Then he found out
that he had misjudged the first lot, and
that the second lot were acting in a
way which did not justify his confidence.
SO he humbly apologized, got the expelled
reinstated and next week preached to the
Kaiserin sermon on the text from
Proverbs, "He that is surety for a stran-
ger shall smart for it,
Some people say that Excellency Dry
ander is Prussia's best preacher. Others
say he is the worst; he sends them, they
hate learning. For Dryander is schol-
arly, abusive parson. comprehensive only

and Emerson, and sometimes he let's nv

Excellency Dryander Is full of art. He
trots out the frescoes of Beato Angelica
in Florence, enlarges on the expression
of the Sistine Madonna, and analyzes the
cultured depravity of the Renaissance.
This offends some who know nothing
about letters and art, and offends others
who think that religion and art should
live separately So Dryander had to de-
fend himself before Kaiser Wilhelm
against the charge of secularism. "When
the preacher too scrupulously avoids crit
icism, history and art. he fosters the no.
ton that there is a conflict between these
things and religion; the notion that re-

and thereby his occupation would dis
appear"
Dryander is the first Prussian court
chaplain in history who has not tried to
play political role. His predecessor was
the fiery, dogmatical Koegel, who ran
reactionary church and school politics
with old Kaiser Wilhelm l. and before
Koegel there was Stoecker, an arrogant
tory and anti-Semite, whose political in
trigues and extravagances went SO far
that he was privately requested RE-
sign. Dryander knows nothing about poll
itics, and makes no attempt to infiu-
ence Kaiser Wilhelm. That is the rea-
son why Wilhelm in religious matters
tolerates dictation from the keeper of his
conscience.
Dryander is a homlletic preacher
Learned as are his sermons, in substance
they are easy direct and familiar in
form So are his books. That makes him
popular with people who look on religion
as rest for the troubled soul. mo polem-

French Politeness Demoralized

From the Detroit Free Press.
Frenchnlen speak of ia galanterie fran
caise' much as Americans speak of the
'old-fashoned gentleman'-a pleasant
thing which was once known but exists
no more Modern observers in Paris note
that politeness Is declining, and is al
most unknown among the masses
To be sure, if you neglect to leave the
money for the gas collector after you
have received notice, you get a courteous
letter, inviting you to call and settle,
else, Ito our deep and lasting regreat,
we shall be compelled to cease the fur
nishing of gas" But when you call you
are sent into a special room, painted
gray, like the police station. and there sit
with other eulprits for half an hour,
while they look you up. You read the
signs against smoking. gaze on the impos-
ing looking grill at the end of the room
and decide to reform. The passing of
Freach politeness has thus had its salu-
tary effect
The French gravely assure you that if
you go into a department store in Paris
with the ordinarily courteous French
manner, you viii not be waited Oh proper
~. You must they say, strut in with
the traditional American bluff In order to
command respect The experience of
Americans who have leanings toward
courtesy, seems to carry out the state
ment of the Parisians-one cannot prevail
unless one struts over the whole estab-
lishment as if one might but probably
will not buy out the place.
Eut outside of the clerks the primitive
methods of politeness prevail. You can
order anything you see, have $50 worth
of lace cut off the piece and sent to your
house. The delivery man is supposed
to collect the bill but if you like he will
leave the package with the mere assur-
ance of your signature, and will not come
back for fortnight Your husband is
out and you have not the money when
he comes again. Another fortnight, and
so on. probably for years, at the end of
which time. If you wish. you send the
lace back. The courtesy of the delivery
system in Paris Is inimitable. Show
yourself half worthy and you can have
anything.

omnibusss. allowing only those for
