Rsfues to Increase Their WORKING

Day Twenty Minutes.
Fall River. Mass. May An the
weavers employed in the seven fac
tories Of the Fall River mills, owned
by M. c. ID. Borden estate OF New
York. have gone on a strike as a pro-
test against alleged tactics OF the
management
According to stories told by the
weavers. a number OF them. about
thirty in all. and representing the
various mills, were called into su-
peyntendent William Evans once
and told that they would have to
operate their looms until 1920 at
noon or until $3.50 at night. which is
an addition OF twenty minutes TO the
union working day. This the weavers
refused to do. Some OF the lower
bosses, according to another story.
told many OF the weavers TO operate
their looms until 1920. or else they
would stand discharged. This was
the signal for q general strike, wesv-
ers In the seven mills walking out,
about 100 IN all.

This is not quite so bad as the
remark made by Scotch wife TO
her dying husband, who turned his
face from the wall TO say: Lass,

Tut, tut, mon," was the reply,

A widow called TO see a man who
was slowly passing from this world,
and said 10 him, You'll see Tom,'
Tom was her husband "and I

children right"
Her dying neighbor, being a tact
ful man, gave her the prompt as
surance that il he reached heaven,
and ever saw Tom, and didn't for
get il, he would certainly tell him.
Sometimes well-meaning efforts to
be tactful may become amusing be-

Dr. James r. Angel, president OF

floor Of the dining-room was waxed

rugs. He endeavored 10 move back
in his chair. II slipped and the
dignifled educator slid under the
table. He arose much confused; but
not a Chinese said a word, or gave
any sign Of having seen the incident.
Ten minutes later his Chinese host
tried 10 move back his chair, and he.
too. slid under the table. He got up.
and resumed his seat, and none Of
the Chinese made a sign. Then, at
regular intervals every Chinaman
around the table slid out OF his

Tactless People
Rev. James L. Elderdice in c. E. World

The tactless are those who lack
the quick or intuitive appreciation
Of what is III and right TO say or
do, and especially the ready dis
elimination that leads them to avoid
what would offend or disturb. Just
because there are so many things
TO annoy and irritate we appreciate
the efforts Of those who by their
wisdom, patience, and sympathy
straighten out the tangles, smooth
the ruflled spirit, and pour cooling
oil on the heated machinery.
The tactless are the witless, who
never know they are blundering
until they see the cloud OF resent
ment. whereas the tactful may ad-
minister needed rebuke so ad-
roitly that IL wins a friend instead
OF making an enemy. Archbishop
TAFT would often say to his secre-
tary. when answering some pratt
tling correspondent, Tell him he is
an idiot, but say so kindly" This
is just what tact is capable OF do
ing.
The tactful man says neither too
much nor too little. Al a business
meeting the chairman announced;
Brother Skinner submits his res
ignation as a member of the so
ciety. What action shall be taken
upon it?"
II move. sir" responded one of the
parliamentarians present, that the
resignation he accepted, and that n
vote Of thanks he rendered Brother
skinner"
In reply to the question OF the
very talkative boarder. why do
they say as smart as a steel trap'f
I cannot see anything So iniellectu-
al about a steel trap" Mr.. Pepper
answered in his sweetest voice. "A
steel trap is called smart because
IL knows exactly the right time to
shut up"
In which respect the steel trap
was wiser than the married man
who didn't know enough TO leave
his last sentence unuttered. He had
been married several years, and his
wife said 10 him one night: You
do not speak as aYectionately TO me
as you used TO. Hal. I fear you have
ceased 10 love me-" -
Ceased TO love you'll There you
go again. Ceased TO love you. Why,
love you more than life itself.
Now shut up. and let me read the
paper"
There are blufY and blunt-spoken
folk whose tactlessness is simply
rudeness, sometimes almost brutal
in its frankness. Ian Maclaren
tells Of a parishoner Of DIR. Norman
Macleod, who. when her. husband
was sick, sent for the minister OF
the next parish. Answering the call,
this good man did not recognize the
worthy pair as Of his parish; so he
asked. ITO what church do you be-
long?"
"Dr. Macleod's."
Then why did you not call him
TO your house?"
"Hoot, mon." answered the mis-
tress. "di ye think we wad be ris-
