TAKING RIGHT VIEW OF WORK
Man Makes Serious Mistake in 5ecom'
ing Despondent and Thinking Of
Himself as a Slave.

In commenting on a recent Once
Over, concerning the blessing it should
be to be able to work and to have
work to do, man writes as follows:
THE principle is good. Work is
blessing to humanity, If the toile1
would but reap the fruits of his toll
But, in this era of maladjusted econ
omic conditions, the workers lifo, with
it's slave status, leaves much to be
desired. Am right?"
From one viewpoint, yes; from an
other, no.
The working conditions of laborers
might be more ideal, 'tis true, but you
cannot expect too great an improve
ment within short time.
Are they not improving each year?
Are not working hours becoming
shorter and pay larger for those who
make the necessary effort to perfect
themselves along their certain line?
If man is unwilling to give the
time, study and effort to make himself
more valuable to his employer, should
he hope to have his wages advanced? !?
The workaday world is far removed
from slavery.
When man begins to think Of him
self as slave he is bringing about
condition within himself which has
tendency to place his efforts on the
plane of those Of slave.

the other answered. tapping on the
desk with some instrument, knew the
second speaker to be La Barre, and

drapery. He sat at the desk, his back
toward US, while his companion, red

arm on the mantel over the fireplace.
His expression was that of amused

The outer wall was so thick a consid-
erable space separated the room from
the window, which was screened of by
heavy drapery. D'Arigny appeared
familiar with these details, for, with
scarcely a glance about, he led me
into this recess, where we stood con-
cealed. Lights from below illumined
our faces, and revealed an open win
dow looking down on the court. My
companion glanced out at the scene
beneath, and his eyes and lips smiled
as he turned again and faced me:
"But, monsieur" 1 questioned puz-

with trouble?"
Hardly that; mere annoyance. l

hour after 1 left you my ticket Of in

"The order of La Barre, no doubt;

to say he preferred my absence"
"'Twas the work of CassiOn."

you warning that you adventure with

Bah! Monsieur Casslon"
"'Tis not we'll for you to despise the
man, for he has power and is a villain

To disturb that holy tomb;
Ages long shall come and 90,

Never will its flames be felt
By those forms, for ne'er again
Shall they suffer any pain.

Were not made for endless night!
