Don't Scold the Telephone Girl
St. Louis Republic

st. Louis Repu0nc
In the Easter Sunday news last spring
one of the features was the heroism of
the telephone girls at Omaha. GAS long as
there was a wire they stayed at their
posts" Shortly afterwards the same
story of courage and loyalty was told in
the Dayton flood, and again, in a West
Virginia valley. But there is heroi SIN
at the telephone board in the plain set
ing of days hard work which is quite
as admirable as the valor displayed I'M
der the more dramatic circumstances.
Ordinarily, though we do not hear
about it, there is nothing of news value,
for instance, in the fact that telephone
girl has had to quit because of poor
health. Another takes her place and the
service goes on. But when we read the
physicians judgment in the death certif
icate that overwork and nervous prostra-
ton conspired with consumption to kill
this telephone girl. and that she was
twenty years old when she died, though
there may be nothing of news about it,
there is something of a text. And the
sermon is easily reached-indeed, it
breaches self. 1t is plea for consider
alton for the telephone girl. 1t is nerve
wearing work she does. No word of com
mendation can be spoken when the work
is well done, but the operator is exposed
to continuous criticism when her work is
faulty. Occasionally the worry and abuse
and toll of it prove too much and the
90 IL; -, i, ,tl,
public ought to be fairer, ought to be
more courteous and more consi derate.
And the public is you and l and all of
u.s."

CHEAPER BEEF FROM SOUTH
 AMERICA.

Dr. Melvin, chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington, makes the cheering report that South America is producing vast quanti- ties of excellent grades of beef and mutton and is capable of producing much more. He reports that Ura- quay and Argentine cattle are of fine grade and that an effort is being made in Brazil to improve the grade of cattle there, sInce the export prospects have been improved by the removal of the United States tariff on cattle and meat. Argentine and Uruguay have Durhams, Herefords and Rolled Angus stock, better grade of beef cattle than was former ly used in this country.
 People in this country have had the idea that the South American cattle were raised on the wild grass of that country, but MT. Melvin explains that most of the Argentine cattle are fed on alfalfa pastures. When England is getting Argentine beef at eight to nine cents pound wholesale, there is no reason why we should not get share of it. American packing in- terests are said to have engaged all the refrigerating space in South American teamships for some time to come, and they have their own plants in South America But this will not necessarily prevent us from getting Argentine beef, and, with the tariff removed, getting it on approxi mately the same basis as England Where there is such an enormous demand, we may reasonably expect competition o meet it.
 One of the packers agents express es the fear that Americans will not like alfalfa-fed beef" and there is evidently an attempt to create a prejudice against tn South Ameri- can product. But if they can get it cheaper, housekeepers will determine for themselves whether they like the taste or not. Some of the protected American steaks and roasts have not been the best on earth. Consumers would like to get taste of South Aemrican mutton and beef.

Men enough accompanied the women to protect them from any attack by rowing bands of rebels Or bandits but the women and children were forced to walk many miles and arrived here footsore and weary. The members of the party claim that much anti American sentiment is prevalent in the interior of Mexico and that only strong show of force at the mining camps where Americans and English men are banded together prevent open hostilities. The mining compa- pies are maintaining strong forces about the works to prevent the des- truction of mining plants worth many millions of dollars and also to pre- vent attacks by the rowing bands of bandits. Many mining companies pay tribute to the federal and rebel forces to secure protection.

HEARTS and DARTS
OF ST. valentine

rhymed by poets and beloved OF lovers
in these wireless telegraph days. as

sank beneath a load of delicate en-
barrassment not his own"
What manenr Of person was this
saint of eternal youth, whose name so
brightly burns and CLOVIS in the
rubric? The Church Calendar assigns
him to the distant date Of 270 A D.,
but gives no particulars. We do
know, however, that through all these
intervening centuries Saint Valen-
tines name has typified that univer-
sal sweet unrest which impels poor
humans to seek perfection in union"
Also, that hearts and Hymen's darts,
and rhymed madrigals, in which the
sender's name must be read between
the lines, have been from time imme-
mortal associated with the date OF
Feb. IA, the good Bishops birthday.
The more chivalrous and devout men
have been the more ardent in their
observance of the sentimental ami
versary.
Can any twentieth century valentine
surpass this one of the Spanish
knight-crusader, quoted by Lockhars7
MY ornaments are arms,
My pastime is in war.
My bed is cold upon the void.
Ny lamp yon scar.
MY journeyings are long,
My slumbers short and broken;
From hill to hill I wander still,
Kissing thy token.
IT ride from land to land,
I sail from sea to sea;
Some day more kind fate may ind.
Some night kiss thee"
