drawing from the conference, lost no time in drafting the strike ballot and in order to expedite the vote caused their distribution throughout the country by the 500 union delegates that had also attended the conference
 It was pointed out at that time by the brotherhoods' leaders that a vote ordering a general strike did not ne. cessarily mean the immediate institu. tion of the strike. It was explained that the strike order would not be issued until every effort looking to- ward an amicable settlement had been exhausted.
 In statements issued by the rail road heads, following the break up of the conference it was held that the eight hour day demanded by the men did not actually mean shorter work day but rather an increase of 25 per cent over existing wages for the same amount of work. and an increase in many eases of S7 1-2 per cent for over time as compared with present rates The demanis pc~tair only to freight and not to passenger service.
 The railroads maintained that to al low the increase would add $1O0,OO0,- 900 a year to the operating expenses of all roads in the United States, flor the benefit of men whose average pay per day was increased from 30 to 42 per cent from 1908 to 1914, while the wages of the western engineers were further increased in 1915"

Massenet dreaded the FIRST perform
ance of his operas 80 much that he
usually left the city and hid until they
were over. In q recently published
book, Souvenirs de la Vie de The
.atre," Pierre Berton tells Of meeting
him the night before the production Of
his "Roi de Lahore" and congratulate
ing him on the success that was sure.
He was astonished at the weary. mel
ancholy attitude Of the composer.
"Massenet silently took on his hat.
and pointed with his finger at his
hair. II was freshly silvered, to my
surprise, for we were then both young
men. And he said to me, See what It
costs to bring out IN opera!"

stranger drove straight to the water

ferred with q roughly-dressed long.

in rowboat and teok the stranger
aboard.
Legar, in his quarters beneath the
Owls Nest, was in anything but an
amiable mood. He stared about at
his coterie of unsavory confederates.
A CLEAN of triumph showed In his
narrowing eyes as he spied q white
faced girl in chair near the fireplace.

he Knocked.
She WINGED as he wheeled her
roughly about, but remained silent.
A sleepy-eyed parrot. standing on
its perch beside the empty fireplace.
stirred uneasily at Legar's rough
movements. The girl. rising slowly
from her chair, stared into Legar's
evil face.
What are you going to do with
meT she demanded.
Legar laughed.
You won't be asking questions
about II, when you find out!"
Courage, little one. courage!" said
low yet distinct voice.
Legar, at the sound, wheeled sud.
denly about.
who taught that damned bird to
talk?" he demanded. There was q
stir of uneasiness about the room.

Then who said Courage" called
out the trate master criminal.
II did," said the same distinct yet
ghostly voice. And had that wide
eyed group stared closer into the Are
place., instead Of at the silent and
motionless bird on it's perch, they
might have noticed where . small
stone, little bigger than mans hand
had been worked loose and lifted
away from the heavy wall separating
that unseen watcher from the room
into which he had been pesring.
Yet that stone was once moro IN
place before Legar and his worthiea
peered, squinting-eyed, about the
'smoke-stained masonry. Only, the
hands Of the girl. sitting silent and
thoughtful in Mer chair. were no long
;er trembling. The covering look had

Of pity surging through the younger

that Unexpectedly intimate touch, ap-

ready unnerved man at the desk. for
with gesture oddly poignant he lift

closed eyes, as though in an effort to
shut away actualities which were too
dark to be endured.

in under the lapel Of the older mans
coat, lifted q wallet lightly from its
pocket, and stood upright again
Then, with . shrug that was almost
one of pity az he looked down at. the

away and slipped out of the room.
The departing woman had already
passed through the street door before
he could overtake her. She stopped
wonderingly at his call to her.

all; this girl has been nicknamed POL
lyanna" by members of the family she
works for on account of her unfailing
cheerfulness as indicated by her perpet-
ual smile and kindly good humor.
She uses this smile in the place of
fective 1t is.
When you call on members of the house
hold where she Is employed, while she
can't speak a word of your language,
she does so with her eyes and her smile,
and If you don't give her a cordial greet
ing in return you feel as If you'd missed
the opportunity of your life to do a kindly
deed, for that smile of 'Pollyannas 5"
may indicate that she's only doing that
to cover up her own loneliness way over
here in a strange country, far from all
those who speak her own language and
know her own tongue.
We are all given the chance to make
our own particular little opportunities.
and by doing SO, We often make the
world in which we move-the little cir
Gle of acquaintance that we know-bet-
ter for having taken advantage of the
game.
I read a little aphorism the other day
that to me is wonderfully clever and I've
pasted it in a conspicuous place on my
writing desk, where 1 can't fail to see
it every hour of the day.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1916-09-17

expresses what is at least an optimistic
view of the situation. The words were
something like this:
Foolish is he who says that at his
door
knock but once, furtive moment
stay.
Fearing lest he shall hear, then haste
away,
Glad to escape him-to return no more
DER
Come back to call the idler from his
play,
Or wake the dreamer with my vain up
roar"
1t all depends, I suppose, on the real
definition of the word opportunity"
or rather upon how each person de-
fines the word for himself
If 1t Is just a convenient time or oc-
casion and nothing more, many of us
ignore numerous opportunities. for to
many convenient time to do a special
thing rarely comes.
I fancy that those who take advantage
of an opportunity and to whom it may
return several times Is the man who
goes forth to meet 1t, and does not at
ways wait for the knock that announces
its arrival; in other words the butler
is at the door with his silver tray waiting
for the engraved card to be dropped.
It is the taking advantage Of the cir

81 T has always seemed to me that to
say, or even think, that opportunity
- knocks but once at a mans door Is
an error and may be the very thing to
curb his ambition.
The youth, unable to grasp what be
believes to be his great and only
chance to become successful and ia
nous, or even to accomplish some
specially good work, may become els
couraged and give UP trying, If he Is
told, or led to believe, that opportunity
with a capital 20" comes just once in
a whole lifetime to a man. 1t Is not
an uncommon thing, as many of us
know, for men to miss a so-called OPP
portunity for advancement, on account
of some duty which they may consider
as of even greater Importance.
To young people duty may actually
appear to be the antithesis of opportu-
nifty, as it seems to stand in the way
of SO many good chances, and for that
reason the word duty" may become
almost abhorred.
Several years ago came across the
following sentiment which is in such
direct opposition to the late Senator
ingalls, poem entitled Opportunity
which declared openly and vivid1y
Opportunity knocks but once"
that have often referred to 1t. for 1t

that you are depending on him, that you
have confidence in him, backing him up.
Keep that attitude consistently until at
least you are fully convinced that he
will not do. Other things being equal.
there will be very few men to fail with
that support. But when a man does fall
when it is quite clear to you that he Is
not the man for the job, then by all
means shift him or let him go at once.
Do not keep him to nag and grumble at
for that will only discourage the rest
of your organization. They will feel
that their own rights (by better serv1cs)
to the place are being ignored.
You have good men. Respect them.
Have confidence in their judgment. 1t
is good thing to consult outside men,
to get the outside viewpoint. But after
all remember that your own men are far
more vitality interested in tho success of
the company than any outsider can be
and that their intimate knowledge Of
your equipment and needs makes them
better fitted to judge as to the effect
of any new plans or trade conditions on
your business. Value their opinions and
accordingly, even though you
do not follow them, and show that you
value them in every possible way you
can
