this way and others Pagan established signalman and with the railroad em- ployees he gained little popularity by his new reputation. Soon they began to ask about him. "Who is this man F'agan?' they would say. And before long they learned few facts of his hardWorking life
 Fagan's Varied Career.
 Fagan-James 0. Fagan-was born and humbly bred in Scotland, where he went to school, and, through a nat ural craving, studied all he could learn about electricity. His first job was as an apprentice on board a cable-laying hulk that sailed first to Portugal and then to the Canary islands and South America Then he turned up in South Africa, where he did some fight ing, and in 1881 he drifted to New England, where he got job as teleg- rapher for the Boston & Lowell rail- road. Five years later he became slgnalman at the station at West Cambridge, and there he had been ever since, earning two dollars and half day, in return for which he managed the switches, took and re- ceived telegraphic orders and commu- nications and watched the rails.
 About six years ago, several years after he had made up his mind to study the question of preventable ac- cidents and after he had done a great deal of thinking, he climbed down from his tower for day off. He went to Boston and made straight tracks for the editorial office of one of the biggest, most conservative of monthly magazines.
 Pagan hadn't dressed up for the oc- casion, and he looked gaunt and a trife unkempt when he asked to see the editor. But he managed to get an interview. A half hour later he left the office of the magazine with the order for an article dealing with the problem of accidents on the railroads of America and suggestions for their prevention.
 Pagan went back to his tower and continued to watch trains and operate telegraph keys and throw the switches as conscientiously as ever, but at night when his duties were over he

AMOUNTED TO SAME THING
Reading This Anecdote, One Feels That Mir. Choate Could on Occa-
 sions Be Mildly Sarcastic.

You know how, sometimes, a word, very common word, and one that you have used innumerable times in one way or another, will, of a sudden, en- tirely escape your mind. Thus it was with MT. Choate on one occasion dur ing his ambassadorship to the Court of St. James. He told about it at a dinner he attended in London. He said that he went into a book shop in the Strand few days before to purchase a copy of Dantes Tn ferno." It was his intention to present the book to a young friend who par ticularly wanted to read it. Much to MT. Choate's chagrin, the instant he stepped in the store the word Infer no" entirely escaped his mind He told the salesman that he would be back in minute, and he walked away down to Whitehall trying to think of the last half of the book he wanted Of course it was Dante's something" but Dante's "what?"- that was the question.
 Finally he gave up trying to recall the full title and went back to the shop. The clerk asked him what he sought. He made a bold stab 'I want copy of Dante's 'Hell,'" he re- piled.
 The clerk darted back to the rear of the store By and by he returned with empty hands T am very sorry," he said, but we haven't got He'll by MT. Dante, but we've got Twenty Years in South Africa by Cecn Rhodes, if that would do''
 And feeling" conclu4es MT, Choate, that that was practically the same thing, l took the book"

Competitive Printing

Booklets are not bought in assorted sizes as
you buy collars Printing is now sold with
and as a service Every piece of printed
matter is made to fit particular occasion
to appeal to special class Of readers to
express the personality of an individual ad-

as can be done. To that we add suggestions,
ideas, layouts of our own to make the print
ing effective it is label or an adj
verhsement- * r
We are glad to give you an estimate Of
what job will cost, but an estimate upon a
job of printing is valuable only when each
printer is estimating on the same job.
:. That seldom happens.
Paper costs cents to Is cents pound.
Ink costs Is cents to S. pound
Taste, originality, knowledge-these
are almost priceless.
If you are good Judge of all these
thing-then you can decide between esti-
mates. Competitive printing, however,
never secures such good results as reposing
confidence in printer Of proved worth.
The next time your attention is arrested
by printed thing well done, stop and ask
yourself: Can such work be done by the
printer who figures lowest? No. Cheap
printing conveys the idea that you are a
cheap man, doing cheap business at cheap
prices.
It seems unfortunate that people do not
understand that the most interesting state
ment that can be put in type has no appeal
unless the vital words are properly mar
shalled by an intimate knowledge Of paper,
ink, and type faces plus-and here is the big
secret-the knowledge of the particular re-
ouirement in hand and the ability to handle
it. Your printer should become the master
workman who moulds the many elements
into one harmonious whole. 4~~ <r
Naturally we are subject to the wishes
of our customers. If you desire to attend to
the various parts which go to make the
completed job-if you feel competent to be-
come the master mind we will become me-
chanics and produce for you the printed
work which will be your conception of what
you want. ~--.::-sz. =
But it you leave it to us we will adapt
your ideas and embody your needs into the
harmonious expression which you seek. If
it is results or effectiveness. that you are
after we can help you. That subtle dignity,

nessbecome an Intangible part of our work.
