Pepsin Gum, It's owner and the men
who work for him"
These words had struck home. The
workmen had all understood their
truth; furthermore, they fully recog-
nized the justice of the burden Broad
way laid upon them. Workingmen are
fair; they are fairer in old, little towns
like Jonesville than they are in great
industrial centers, where the element
Of personality has passed out Of in
dustry and the worker is a cog, while
the owner is an unseen and mysterious
power. The men had shouted wildly
that they all would help and meant it.
After he had left the shops they had
reiterated among themselves the
pledges of their fealty, and they meant
them then.
sweethearts, that day in the Jones
plant, would have scornfully rejected
sweethearts who showed any sign of
treason to the young proprietor; ia
theirs would have thrashed son who
sneered at Broadway; mothers would
have chided daughters (more likely
would have spanked them f1ercely)
who offered slurs upon what had oc-
CURED. The capacity of mixers, cook
ers, drawers, molders, cutters, stack
ers, wrappers, packers, boxers, ship
pers increased as if by magic. For
their hearts were in their work; they
were hustling for the boss who had
declared his firm intention of hustling
for his workers.
Therefore in the works everything
buzzed and hummed and banged and
clattered with a pleasurable and con-
tagious enthusiasm. In the Office there
was warm glow Of satisfaction, but
Broadway's smile, after the ladies' had
departed, Clara and her mother to
make calls and pass the joyful news
about the town triumphantly, Josie to

She was very earnest. ~oh. It means

You do?"
Certainly. A proposition which
showed the profit this did last year

wonderful! / know what I'm talking
about. I'm with the biggest adver-
tising firm in New York city"
But we couldn't afford to advertise,
except in small way" she said in ex-
planation of what he evidently thought
their lack of enterprise, and the big
firms wouldn't take a petty contract" +"
why didn't you try the Empire
Agency"
She shook her head. I'VE did. They
refused to handle US at all. They do
most Of the Consolidated's work, you
see. I guess that was the reason"
He was quick to deny this He did
not wish anyone to think that the
great Empire Agency would favor
one concern to the extent of shutting
out another in fair competition.
"Oh, no." he confidently asserted,
I'VE don't make that sort of agree
ments. No corporation can dictate to
US. The Empires my firm. My Guv'-
nor's its president"
"Oh, well, then, perhaps, you know
all about It." She evidently did not
care to be SO firmly contradicted.
This daunted him. you say they
refused to handle your work."
Absolutely"
For a moment he stood lost In
thought, then suddenly reached a res
olution Of Importance. May l use
your 'phone?" he asked.
Certainly"
"Give me long distance" he demand
ed Of the operator; then, while he was
waiting, he turned back to Josie, say
ing almost angrily: That's a pretty
rotten trick, if it's soto squeeze the
little fellow out like that. You're abb
solutely sure it was the Empire?"
Yes; we tried all the big advertisL
ing firms"
There isn't any other big advertis-
ing firm" he vahantly declaimed. His
business patriotism was unquestion-
able. IF there was we'd whip it over
to the Empire in pretty quick shape"
The receiver, which he held at his
ear, showed signs of life. Hello, l
want New York." he told the operator.
Then, to Josie; whats this num-
ber?"
"Two-two Main"
"This is two-two Main, the Jones
plant" he informed the operator. "All
right. Get them for me as quickly as
you can"
After hanging up the receiver he
turned gravely to Josie. There must |
be some mistake about this" he assur-
ed her. Evidently he was seriously
worried about the charge Of favoritism |
brought against his firm.

you'd like to see it."
I'D like to very much"
'I'n have it here in a very few min

Fortunately for his telephone en-
deavors there had been a period of
quiet in the outer factory. But now,
as the crowd approached across the
vast workroom adjoining, from a visit |
to the other portions Of the plant, the
roar Of cheering was renewed. He
went to the door and opened it, look
ing into the workroom. Almost at the |
door were the Judge and Mrs. Spots
wood and, Just behind them, Broad
way. They we're smiling happily and
proudly. He was somewhat wilted,
but elated. He rushed forward, grasp
ing Wallace's hand, greatly to the
latter's surprise.
I've shaken hands with everybody
In the world" said Broadway.

Rorax Water for Stains.

Keep upon your toilet table a bottle
of borax solution, made by dissolv-
ing teaspoonful Of powdered borax
in a pint of hot water. When the
first suggestion of soil appears upon
any Of your light cloth gowns rub
the spot with piece of absorbent cot
ton wet with the solution. This sim.
pie operation will remove dust, mud
spots and perspiration stains. 1t is
better than gasoline or naphtha, as
its application does not leave the ugly

lows the use Of other cleaning fluids.

of that!"
She smiled at him. She cared moth
ing for the cheering, but she would tell
him about it,. because she liked to talk
to him on any subject. "Well, you
should have heard them cheering!
They've made more noise than this
old town has ever heard before"
Yes, dare say it is" he granted,
as new cheers burst forth.
But he did not go to see the dem
onstration, which indicated to him
that he must find something most at

Would world in which no one de-

We must not shirk pain, for it is in
itself beneficial and part of Gods or
dering Of the world. 1t is a great puri-
fer; we cannot get rid of moral evil
without it. Where pain ends gain ends.
Success is rooted in apparent failure,
and in the highest pleasures there is
always an undernote of pain.v

Marble Windows,

Remarkably beautiful effects are Sc
cured by the use of marble as a
means of transmitting light instead of
glass. This has been accomplished
by Q new process which has been de-.
Vlsed by an engineer Of Hamburg, w.
Engle. He has succeeded in making
plates Of marble no more than three
millimetres in thickness and for the
use designated 1t is available up to
20 millimeters thick. The suitability
of marble for this purpose was real
lied some time ago, but the difficulty
encountered was that of securing the
marble in slabs of sufficient thinness.
These plates permit of the passage of
a greater amount Of light than frosted
glass does, and at the same time i'm
parts to the rays a much pleasanter
color. Most opal glass imparts to the
light an undesirable greenish tinge,
while the light which passes through
the marble has reddish violet which
is much pleasanter. After the marble
has been ground down to the desired
thickness 1t is subjected to an INNER
sion in oil under high pressure, and
the effects secured in this manner are
said to be superior to those of stained
glass. -
