He went away. At home, his own
boy was in the critical stage of the
disease. Gossip had it that he was
dying. Hardly had he entered his
door before the telephones got busy.
Mrs. 6outar heard that Frank Hicks
was TO receive the drug.
She left the nurse at her sons bed
side and hurried with her daughter to
the doctors house. The two women
entered without ceremony and found
Robert Hicks at his sons bedside
The boy was delirious. Upon a table
beside him stood little phial contain.

doctor had a hypodermic syringe in
his hand. Mrs. Soutar grasped him
by the wrist
Tell him, Louise!" she gasped.
Tell him!"
IF you dare-if you dare Robert"
sobbed Louise, "our engagement is
broken"
That makes no difference" an
swered the doctor gravely This boy
is more in need of it than the other.
That is all can see."
He dipped the hypodermic into his
phial, and the mother, darting for
ward knocked both phial and hypo-
dermic from the table, sending them
rolling into a corner. The phial
cracked and emptied its contents upon
the floor.
AT least, If you won't save my son,
your own shall die" cried Mrs Sou
tar in fury. Come Louise!"
The two women swept out Of the
room, out of the house, and home. to
find that Leonard was better
BY nightfall he was out Of danger.
At the same hour Frank Hicks lay
dead in his fathers house.
There was no other doctor in the
village. Doctor Hicks continued to
attend the Soutar boy until he was
convalescent. Then he ceased to
come. He sent his bill in the regular
way, but he was never seen at the
Soutar home again. The gossips said,
however, that there had been a pain
full scene before he left for the last
time, and that Hicks had refused the
women's pitiful plea for forgiveness.
He could forgive the loss of his son
better than that of his case" said
the villagers.
For two years Hicks and the wom-
en- only bowed when they passed.
Then Mrs Soutar fell i'll Of the incur

death. Hicks again became con-

Cost OF Living Hleh In Teheran,


In normal times Teheran, Persia, is
one of the most expensive cities in
the world in which to live, so states
Vice-Consul Ralph II. Bader. Coal sells
for $40 per ton; apples, $3.50 per bush
ell; cheese, 60 cents per pound; ham,
65 cents per pound; butter, so cents
per pound. These high prices are
largely caused by the lack of trans.
poIration facilities. Coal is trans.
ported to Teheran from the nearest
mine "a distance of SO miles) by don.
keys. Goods imported through the
Persian gulf are transported from Mo
hamerah or Bushire to Teheran "a dis.
tance of 500 miles) by mules and cam.
els, and are usually from six to twelve
weeks in transit. Goods imported
through Russia are subject to heavy
transit duty and are transported
across the mountains from Enzen to
Teheran "a distance of $50 miles) by
pack animals and wagons.

WAGE RESTORATION,

Toronto, Can. - William Glockling,
representing the International Brother
hood of Bookbinders, has just returned
to the city after putting in strenuous
months work in the cities of Montreal
and Quebec. In conjunction with Organ
izer Drury, of the International Typo
graphical Union, he was successful in
reaching an agreement with one of the
largest firms in the former city who en-
ploy a large staff of bookbinders and
printers.
This firm had put into operation a 10
per cent reduction in wages which affect
ed its entire working staff of men, wom-
en- and girls
Negotiations with the firm were car
ried on for some time, and finally re-
suited in the whole matter being ami
cably adjusted, the firm agreeing to re-
store the former rate of wages and the
amounts which had been held back
would be returned to the employees upon
the first regular fortnightly pay day.

The present Vice Mayor asks for re-
election as President OF the Council on
the Republican ticket. Mr. Dauner has
been active in the administration OF
municipal affairs for the past fifteen
years, and was most devoted and active
in the affairs of the Board OF Education,
having secured the first OF the new
school houses for his constituents. Mr..
Dauner was elected a member OF the
last Board of Public Service, and served
most efficiently in the interest OF Our
people. In 1913 he was elected Presi-
dent of the Council, serving fearlessly
and impartialy as presiding officer,
and fully merits the support OF all the
people OF Our city. Mr. Dauner was
born in Cincinnati in 1866, was educated
in the public schools, and lived here all
his life.

Denver, Colo.-A committee ap-
pointed by the executive board OF

no distinction between Union and

claim that the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company docs not care whether its
employees are Union men or nonUnion

READING THE HANDWRITING.

Jersey City.-The Hudson County
grand jury, which is expected to nvest
gate the cases of the guards who are be-
ing held III connection with the killing
of three citizens during the recent strikes
at the Bayonne plants of the Standard
Oil and Tidewater Oil Companies, have
been sworn in by Supreme Court Justice
Swayze.
The justice reviewed the state riot
laws explaining that twelve armed per-
sons or thirty unarmed persons engaging
in disorder, constituted a riot; but pri-
vate persons had no right to suppress
riots and. consequently, no right to main
tain armed forces for that purpose
He added that if private parties had
such rights anarchy would result that
no person had the right to take life
solely for the protection of property,
and if life was taken in defense OF prop
erty only it constituted murder. If per-
sons illegally armed themselves in de-
tense OF property, the justice said, and
death resulted, all were equally guilty
of murder, for all who participated in
an illegal act were equally guilty

ties' says that the time Is coming, and
at no distant date, when China will
have 20 be reckoned with as a great
world power. The progress of that
mighty nation since the revolution that
overthrow the ancient ruling dynasty
and resulted in the establishment of
republic has been the wonder of the
age. China is graphing with tremen-
dous problems and solving them with
little bloodshed and in much more
orderly and sensible manner than has
marked the course of many of the
so-called enlightened" countries in
recent years. Once we'll organized,
developed and equipped, the Chinese
nation will be a powerful friend or a
formidable foe, and evidently her own
statesmen realize this as we'll as any
body, perhaps better. At all events
here is a friendship offered that ought
not to be carelessly thrown away. In
the end it may prove much more help
| full than the closer relations we are
trying so desperately to establish with
South America, desirable though these
beyond question are.

This is true not so much because Of
young man who saves accumulates,
but because of the infinitely greater
value of the system and organization
which the practice of saving intro
duces into his. life" Mr.. Field was
an exemplar of the habits of thrift
to the end of his life. One of his
early habits was never to ride when
he could walk. If he was not in a
hurry he always walked and the
habit persisted.
A wealthy New York man who
owns real estate worth 100000 de-
clared that this property represented
what he had saved by shaving him
self and blacking his own boots.
The story is told of one Octave
Girard, of Ware, Mass, who retired
well-off at the age of 20, not long
ago, after working at manual labor
most of his lifetime and never re-
ceiving more than 81 day.
He said he was able to put aside
a comfortable sum for his old age
because both he and his wife believed
in economy and practiced it rigor-
ously. "Steadfastness of purpose and
steady work is the secret of saving"
said Mr.. Girard. I'VE paid cash for
everything we bought. We lived on
simple fare. and although we had no
luxuries, we had all that anyone
needs"
A few men have made great wealth
almost over night-but very few-and
even these founded their fortunes on
a NEST egg" saved from small earn
ings. 1t is easy to save $1,000 after
you have saved 800. Try it.

enough to retire. All 1 possess is the
little money l have added to the $46
had when I produced Shenandoah.
IN this country you have to be a mill
lionaire before you can retire-or
properly conduct a theater."
Mr.. Frohman had an engagement to
dine after a performance with a dis
tinguished foreigner. The manager
liked nothing better after hard
nights work than a stack of wheat
cakes, and his guest, who no doubt
had expected an elaborate meal, sat
down to an after-theater supper con-
sisting of 1.-TWO stacks of wheats, -
coffee and corn mullins. Mr. Froh-
man watched both the cakes and the
mullins being cooked in the window.
Mr.. Frohman was asked to explain
his success.
Because" he answered, "I am glad
to spend as much energy in producing
single song as a whole play"
During one of Mr.. Frohman's visits
to London he bought a mechanical
tiger and used to enjoy watching il
crouch and spring. Some of his
guests were frightened by the toy,
and one young actress tainted. Rich
ard Croker came in one day and asked
MI. fIOnlndn now 10 Work tne ma
chine.
Hal" laughed &C. F." Fancy
showing the boss of Tammany Hall
how to work tiger!'
The Frohman anecdote which will
probably live longer than any other is
that of his words to Miss Rita Jolivet
the actress, just before the Lusitania
sank:
why fear death? 1t is the most
beautiful adventure in life"
To a man who rushed up to Mr.,
Frohman and Sir Arthur Pinero when
they were dining at the Princess res
taurant, calling loudly: Hello c. F.!
Hello, Pin! I'm Hopkins!" Mr.. Froh-
man replied:
"Ah, Mr.. Hopkins! I can't say l
remember your name or your face, but
your manner. is deliciously familiar"
Charles Dillingham;, ordered to
hurry to New York once when he was
a subordinate to Mr.. Frohman, sent
this telegraph message:
"Washout on line; will report as
soon as possible"
Mr.. Frohman promptly sent the fol-
lowing reply:
Never mind your wash; buy a new
shirt and come alongSat once"
