Cheap Japanese Prints.

them unframed on the wall. Japanese

wonderful thoughts of the little folk,
when this Incident was recalled by
Congressman ]. Edward Russell of
Ohio:
One afternoon little Bessie sat in
the kitchen watching her mother
weave a hot iron through the dainty
frills of some white frocks. The day
was warm, and mother looked some
what weary.
Mamma" finally remarked the little
girl in a sympathetic voice, isn't it
very hard work to iron2"
Eyes, dear" answered mother, with
a soft sigh, sometimes 1t Is very
hard"
For a moment the little girl thought
fully communed with herself, and then
her face became brightly Illuminated.

exclaimed. wouldn't it have been

SAFETY RULES UPHELD

first six months of this year. gave
employment to 5000 men. an in
crease of so per cent over the num-
Der of men employed in the same
period in 1915.
Fatal accidents in the mines, mills
and smelters of the state have de-
creased 40 per cent in the first six
months of this year over similar
period in 1915, according to statistics
compiled by NJ b. Tomblin. deputy
state mining commissioner.
With a so per cent increase of the
number of men employed over last
year. the number of fatalities has
dropped. The decrease is attributed
to more rigid supervision of the op
Grating plants by the state bureau, to
the operation of the industrial com
mission and compensation insurance
laws which have served to direct at
tention to a greater degree to safety
rules and appliances, and to prohi.
bition.
During the first six months of the
year $4,000 men were employed in the
mines of Colorado. The number OF
fatal accidents reported was twenty
six. Last year, with 10000 men EN-.
ployed, twenty-eight fatal accidents
occurred. Records for the bureau OF
mines department show that fatal
accidents have been decreasing
steadily. Formerly an average OF
ninety-two men yearly were killed
This year 1t is believed the years
record will show not more than hall
that many deaths. Accidents occur
more frequently in the spring. when

melting causes rock slides. For this
reason the department hopes the
deaths reported in the second half oil

PLAYING HO0KY WON'T HURT
Parent Who Remembers How Things
Used to Feel is One Who
Knows How to Manage
His Boy.
BY sIDoNIE M. eRuENeERe.

A L THE cub Jones was reading the
n paper TO himself and making COM
ments to all within hearing. Suddenly
he sat up and put down the paper.
WAS that Waites boy" he asked,
that was mixed up in that affair
down at the lake?' No one seemed to
know. Didn't even know there had
been an affair. In that case Jones had
to read to them. 1t was the story of
boy who had gone over the edge of
pier and was pulled out by another
boy who happened to be passing. The
boy who happened to be passing
was young Bob, and he happened along
at a time when he was supposed to
be in school. That was the point. AL
though no one denied that it was emf
nently proper for him to jump into the
water and save the ragged stranger,
all were agreed that he had no busi-
ness there. He was obviously playing
truant.
1T boy of mine did that said
Saffron, "Id let him take all the
medals and fine speeches that were
coming to him, and after the celebra-
ton was all over / would take him
into the woodshed and give him the
worst licking of his young life"
That sounded very heroic and very
reasonable. After all, It's wicked to
play truant. 1t was only a lucky
chance that the boy came along in
time to save the other child-perhaps
this one had been truant also. The
chances were even that another time
he'd got run over by fire engine. The
boys place is in the school, and he
had no business along the lake front.
He needed lesson that would teach
him his place.
1t made Saffron real angry to think
of son of his committing an outrage
upon law and morals. And the things
he had in mind to do were-well, they
were just the expressions of his anger.
They were not thought out policies of
applying force where it would do the
most good. They We're the instructive
appeals to violence, and had just about
as much moral value as Bob's own
dereliction.
And Brown, who had not been say
ing anything, could see that. And so
he Joined the conversation. He would
not approve of truancy. He knew it
was bad thing and liable to lead to
worse things. But there's no use get
