OoIlC
This is a page from life when life
seems coldly brutal. When it takes
from a man and woman the best
that is in them, and throws them,
worked out, on the scrap pile.
Life can do that with some men
and some women, when. there is no
one but themselves to consider, and
the broken puppets will utter no COM
plant, but accept the ruling of life
as memorable.
But when there are others to suf-
fer because of the discard, there is al
most a sublmity in the way that
broken men and women will struggle.
And in this page from life there are
five dependent children and mother
who is worked out, but who is as
ferociously fighting for her children
as a crippled ioness for her cubs, the
while she lavishes tenderness upon
her hurt mate.
The story was told to me by two
of my friends-the man told it with
the tears close to his eyes; his wife.
wept openly. .... b..
she came to our house begging.
said to my little boy: Tell her there
isn't anything we can do because,
you know, my own need all that we
can manage, but my little boy said:
Papa, this is terrible. If you would
just see her.
Meanwhile my wife had asked her
in and set some food before her as l
entered the room. She looked wild
desperate. She was sobbing as she
vainly tried to force the food down
her poor throat.
"A woman had me arrested for
begging she told my wife. "A wom-
an who lives in a nice home. She
asked me to come in and make my
self comfortable after l had told her
about my children that are hungry
and my husband who is sick, and 1
who am sick myself.

their mother was doing, but l could

for poor people. l have worked all
my life, and worked hard, and my
man worked until he got tuberculosis
from your sweatshops, and even now
he goes out gathering rags while the
sweat vets his coat as though hose
had been turned on it.
AT the station the man at the
desk listened to the policeman tell
that had been begging. And then l
told him why
He said l should have applied to
the charities. said to him that if he
could go to the charities and get from
them 2 cents worth of help would
be willing to stop begging and just
turn on the gas and die, but the char

And then he said that l should

 PLAYS AT OBERLlN Furnished One of the Numbers at the Weekly Recital by the Students.

Edward H. Zabriskie, son of A. D. Zabrtskie, appeared on the programme Of the students recital of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Oberlin, Ohio, last Wednesday evening. He played a difficult Polonaise by Paderewski, displaying a brilliant technique.
 The students who take part in these programmes are those whom the teachers decide have reached a degree of proficiency to enable them to play or sing in creditable manner. It not only gives them valuable training in appearing well on the concert platform but affords them an opportunity to play before very unusual audience one composed of their fellow students and of the Oberlin Conservatory fac ulty.
 MT. Zabriskie is a graduate of the Norwich Academy of the class of 1910. He is a sophomore in Oberlin college and is taking at the same time both piano and theory in the conversa- tory.

OPPOSITION TO POLE LOCATIONS
Thames Street and West Thames Street Residents Raise Vigorous Objections to Plans of Trolley and Telephone Companes-Common Council Takes Matter Under Consideration After Hearing

the location of one particular pole which he said was over a trung line sewer, close to a watering trough and within few feet of a catch basin He objected to the location of this pole also because the stretch of wire would be 145 feet.
 w. W. Becl1with made an earnest and impassioned protest against the telephone pole line, saying that in the last IT years in that section Of the city 50 residences had been built which was more than any other part or the town could show, that new power house had been built the cutlery and the paper mill enlarged, the Gallau- det flying machine factory located there and recently the plant of the United Metals company had come and he es- timated there had been spent an ag- gregate of half a million dollars. The residents of this section, he said, might not be eligible to membership in the Daughters of the Revolution or the Sons of the Revolution, but their blood was good red American blood and he thought it was high time that some body said stop" when this company proposed to put a pole where it would narrow the sidewalk to 1-2 feet, and the company ought to be compelled to lay a conduit just as it had in Sa- chem street and now was the time to do it before the street was paved
 Civil Engineer Pitcher, in response to the questioning of Attorney Barnes, explained that the line proposed was to be inside the sidewalk and the only way he could see it would ad- vantage the company would be by strengthening the pole line.
 Councilman c. K. Bailey moved that the whole council as a body with the mayor visit the property. and 1t was voted. Action on the petition was deferred till the next council meeting in two weeks.
