Mus|C's GREAT CHARM I;
BY 4


When Rodney Phail. inherited the lit
tie Westbrook factory that had sheen
the quiet, unassuming property Of his
deceased uncle for two decades, he
posted up his zone order in all Of the
four working rooms Of the plant.
1t was: "sing."

Maybe his advice would be good
for you, then" suggested his assistant.
1T doesn't do the youp :sters much
good to hear you rip IL OF when you're
riled, JEFF"
Before another day. however, all
hands in the plant understood the stu
alton clearly The lei proprietor. ar.
rived-a rather serious-faced young
man, but with a kindly light in his
eyes and a gentle, sympathetic voice
that attracted the eighty odd employees.
The first thing Rodney Phail did was
to call all hands into. the main rest
room and make them a speech.
He told them that8helfelt something
more thanemere enrichment infbeing
g the favored owner Of the b~usiness--a
sense Of great responsibility The
same conservative. business methods
would be followed. Old and7deserving
employees would be retained. His
great wish, however, was to make OF
them a happy family. He intended to
build a club house for them, where mu'
sic, lectures and entertainments could
be held to break theSmonotony Of their
lives. There would be-a good library
and a gymnasium. These faithful
workmen had; borne bravely the brunt
Of the industrial battle. They SHOULD
share in the prosperity of.the business
Each year twenty-five per cent Of the
profits of the concern should be dis
tributed equally among the employees.
OF course there was rare apprecia
ton. evinced at the mention Of this lib
= eral donation. Then Mr.. Phail said:
II have put up a sign reading, Sing.
I want to explain, about that. For tel
years my life has. been spent on a lone

day, the uneyentful existence fas
made of. me an unsociable hermit
There was no sweetness in my life

It sang from morning until night. It
filled the air with rare, beautiful mu'
sic, and my soul with delight. When
it few away to SUMMER climes with the
approach of winter I missed 1t great
". Then a new idea came to me:
would sing myself. My friends, you
do not know how his companionship
Of music cheered and refined me-"
This was the text, and further upon
the subject "the new boss" briefly
descanted. He showed them how, es.
pecially in the work rooms where the
assembling Of the plant was done at
long tables, the hours could be enliv'
ened by music, the vocal organs exer'
cised and rhythm, poetry and good
cheer engendered.
There was so much promise to the
plan, the girls especially so eagerly re-
sponded to the music suggestion, that
Rodney decided to go a step further
He advertised in a near city newspa'
per for a cultured lady to undertake an
orderly educational superintendency Of
a group, Of sixty young factory girls.
One especially neat, terse and com
%prehensive reply from a Miss Mabel
Durant pleased him. A week later the
young lady in question arrived upon
the scene with her aged mother. Rod
ney had a neatly furnished cottage
near the works all ready for them. For
the first time in his life a woman's
face attracted him in a new way. With
in a week he was ardent in his appro'
baton Of the system pursued by the
quiet, refined young lady, who entered
! with zest into taking charge Of the girl
! workers..
! Rodney left all the details of man
agement and training to Miss Durant,
He heard great reports Of her sue
cess, he did not wonder when he met
her daily that she had wound herself
around the hearts of the girls. Then
one day his whole being thrilled as he
paused in his work to listen to a touch
ing ballad she was singing in the work
room. It was in the rear work room on
the fourth floor of the plant, but every
note was borne to his wistful hearing
strong and clear.
Suddenly a Earring crash shut out
the mellow harmony that so charmed
him. He turned to view a great up
heaval Of an isolated stone building
where explosive varnishes were stored
There was a blast Of flame. The main
building had caught. In an instant
dense clouds Of smoke rolled upwards
"Fire!"
The direful shout, echoed and re
.peated, rent the air. There was q
rush from the building. A chill struck
the heart Of the anxious Rodney as he
thought Of the girls on the fourth floor
Those narrow stairs!" he gasped
and then, thirty voices strong, there
came to his ears the steady, rising
notes Of a song accompanying the
footsteps, as clearly timed az though
q company Of trained soldiers was or
the march.
And so, in splendid order, the las'
one Of the girls got safely out Of the
building. The structure was destroyed
but soon to be rebuilt.
But not until Rodney Phail had swo1

Little Charlie told of his CONVEX
sion, and in a strong, logical manner
declared the worth of Gods love in
a way that the auditors had never
heard it told before. He preached a
real sermon, the best, many said, they
had ever heard on the subject
He was Immediately ordained to
preacher, and he has been preaching
ever since, except for six months
that he was in a private school. In
school he made three grades, one
grade every two months.
But all the time he was studying
he was yearning to tell the message
which, he was sure, he had been
called upon to deliver to an erring
world. From the first his language
was beautiful, his enunciation prao.
tically perfect, and his voice possessed
a carrying power which made it posi-.
bic for everyone in a spacious audi.
torlum to hear every word.
Charley ascends to the pulpit and
kneels in prayer, then arises and
opens the. Bible. He first reads q
passage. interpolated with brief ex.
plantations. Closing the book he quotes
from memory other passages bearing
on the theme under discussion. Fol.
lowing these preliminaries he launches
into his sermon. 1t is not the Sing.

A Half-B Baby.

A man who has recently travelled
tn Ireland says that in a poor little
cottage of two rooms he saw a mar
ried couple and seven children.
Hearing a baby cry he asked to see
it, and explained that he took an
interest in babies, having one at
nome. The infant was produced for
inspection, and the mother asked
proudly: "Is yours as big as that,
sir?" To which he replied, II
think it is a little bigger" I'm

were reused, and tossing her head,
