Parls-Ihe famous Elffel tower of
Paris, the highest steel structure of its
kind in the world. Was about to be
torn down several years ago on ac-
count of its uselessness. Today it is
regarded as one of Frances most val
liable possessions. The French capital

come the wireless center of the world
Underneath the Champ de Mars. in
which the tower stands. vast subte--
rauean wireless plant has been con-
structed. Its presence is scarcely sus-
pected by the passer-by, for its only
entrance is little more than a trap
door in the ground, partly concealed
by clump of trees. But should he
attempt to approach too near the lit
tie iron staircase leading underground,
he will find his way barred by soldiers.
Below ground, amid a maze of pass
ages. gigantic machines and con-
tinual cracking and flashing of the
wireless, corps of military engineers
and electrical experts are working day
and night to perfect instruments on
the accuracy of whose messages in
wartime may depend Frances victory
or defeat, and on which also will de-

allied army of Russia. 1t was in his

operation with our American asso-

time of Washington and Paris within

have been able to improve greatly the
receiving and recording of wireless
messages. We expect now to estab-

part OF this result the longitude of
Washington as related to Paris.
France will later send missions to the

accomplished, the world will receive

One day she heard sixteen-year-old
Tom say to his father: "Mebby you'd

pretends to go hunting. He's. canoo>
ding with Borden's girl. I saw them
myself yesterday hanging over the
stone wall together"
Oh! thought Ellen. II must see
that girl If she is to be my daughter"
She felt a stab of pain at the recol-
lects the last word called forth.
The next afternoon Rob went to
town with his father and the other
boys We're out of the way. She made
herself tidy, put on her poor best
gown, and flung a shawl over her
shoulders. She knew so well the way
down the hill through the woods to
the boundary line between the two
farms-the stone wall. Perhaps she
should find the girl waiting there. II

There was nothing in a mere neigh

But there was no one at the wall
when she reached it. Ellen, breathless
with unaccustomed walking, sat down
upon 1t to rest before going on to the
house, just visible through the trees.
AS h sat there she heard a rustling
among the fallen leaves. Turning her
head, half startled, she saw a girl
coming toward her down the little
c%elandine. At a little distance from
from her the girl paused. startled per-

A SHAMEFUL CONFESSION.

In a Chicago papers account of the
testimony before the senate welfare
commission occurs this paragraph:
L. r. Steele. manager Of S. s.
Kresne's sand 10-cent store,
said 20 per cent of his employees
were paid S. a week. They re-
manned from a day to four
months as a rule. he said. when
most Of them either quit, were
discharged for stealing or dis
courtesy, married " went to 9TH
or stores. The average length Of
service was one year. The high
est wage was SIS, to a girl in
charge Of the music section.
1--WE pay that because we can't
get for less" he said. eff we
could get them for less. we'd do
It. We don't care where a girl
puts her s6 a week or where any
NOR she gets comes from; all
we're interested in is getting girls
at Sc a week"
That IL q shameful confession for a
business man to make. The witness
himself would not call it a confession,
for 1t 10 evident that he considers that
he has nothing to confess, and that in
placing his relations with his m
ployes on this cold-blooded basis he
Is doing nothing worthy Of criticism.
There are men occasionally SO dense,
or 20 deficient in moral sense that they
remain untouched by everything save
the appeal to the spirit of commercial
gain. This man is evidently Of that
class. Morally and ethically he stands

responsibility began. All the centuries

coming money, and nothing more.
II is almost incredible that there
should be. in this day and age, a man
holding a responsible position in a
large business 50 lost to all sense Of
decency as to make such a brutal
statement. The human beings under
his direction are Just so much mate
rial for him to work with. He hires
them for as low wages az possible, and
would pay still less money II he could
get the help for less. Whether or not

not concern him. All he cares for is

d Then. because they were both
country born and needed no other in

against a tree and broken for her a
gorgeous branch far beyond her reach.
So they fell to talking, and he told her
that his folks had lately moved to the
farm on the hill. a fact she had al
ready heard. She told him that she
lived in the house just visible on the
rise of ground. After this exchang.
of confidence they felt we'll acquaint-

Maybe in after years when they
