speaking harshly to their employees.
That was the first of a series of spec
tacular laws which he managed to
have enacted to curb the Ubiquitous
tendencies of Big Business"
With the naked eye the busy legis-
lator could not have told an invoice
from a petty cash accoun A high
powered ear trumpet would not have
enabled him to distinguish the song Of
the loom from the chant of the buzz
saw, but his six-cylinder. self starting
Oratory had to have some kind of a
o to run on and the avenue of in
dustry was the most inviting to his
hectic eye. In other words the busy
legislator consecrated his lung power
to the work of helping the various leg.

their record for enacting an aggregate
of $4,000 new statutes per annum deal

ployment and organization Like most
Industrial reformers. he possessed the
rare genius for managing other PEG
pies affairs.
As a result of his active legislative
campaign. several of the biggest man.
ufacturing houses in the State were
curbed into bankruptcy. but the jobless
employees gathered round the remains
and gave Three Cheers for the
Friend of the Workingman."
In a few years Thomas jefferson
Monroe Miller had Big Business
gasping on the mat and pleading for
help. There was apparently nothing
left to curb, but by that time he had
contracted an Unsuitable thirst for reg
ulating things. so he turned his atten
ton to the liberties of the individual.
He made it a crime for a man to put
his feet on the desk while debating to
his stenographer. Next he put through
a statute forcing restaurants to have
on hand a stock of Maxim silencers for
diners whose audible fondness for soup
interfered with the orchestra. Thanks
to him. the proprietors in hotels must
now furnish their guests with bed
sheets of statutory length or run the
chance of being fined or imprisoned.
Meanwhile the Busy Legislator has
not reduced the height of his youthful
ambitions. He has been standing
around with his nat in his hand, ready
to slip into the first vacant seat in the
United States senate, and his constitu-
ents are convinced that be will not
have to stand much longer A commit
fee of his toWnSmen recently visited
a sculptor with a view to having their
hero's facial facade perpetuated in the
purest marble. The statue will be
placed in the town square after Miller
has gasped his last speech.

CURLING INDUSTRY; OR THE
FABLE OF THE BUSY LEGISLATOR
A Lesson In Practical Politics, Outlining the Best Course to
Pursue When the Welfare Of Industry
Imnteferes With Political Ambition.

One dark, stormy day there was born
to otherwise happy and respectable
parents an embryonic legislator. He
made his debut in the midst of a thun-
der-clap. This fact may or may not
have been prophetic. but in after life
he manifested a decided fondness for
applause.
With no connivance on his part, the
infant Scion was named Thomas JEFF
ferson Monroe Miller. His mother did
the naming. while his father, a sue
cessful retail butcher, stood by in mute
protest, thinking of the day when his
son should learn the meat business
from the bottom up. Thomas Jeffer-
son Monroe, the elder Miller knew,
would find the delivery baskets heavy
enough without carrying any exces
baggage in the way of a name. But
the maternal boss had decided that
her son was cut Il for better things
than constant association with steaks
and chops and. in the end she had her
way, thus depriving the world of IN
other perfectly competent butcher.
At the age of eighteen Thomas JEFF
ferson Monroe Miller began to feel
that his mothers confidence In him
was more than justified. The vista
of his ambition included a front ele-
walton of the Presidential chair.
During his college course, the pro
spective statesman was so busy set
Ting the affairs of the nation in ora
torical contests and debates that he
had no time to spend IN the problems
Of trigonometry. At the end of four
years he had developed a magnificent
rush of words to the face and, although
he was somewhat puny in mathemat-
les, the faculty decided hat the best
a to get rid of him was to hand
him his s~heepskin.
By this time our future legislator
had grown a wonderful crop of back
hair that curled gracefully over his
collar, and had acquired the habit of
posing for his photograph with a cor
rugated look about his brow and his
right hand in the breast of his coat.
By comparison with the most authori-
tative portraits. he was every inch q
statesman. so he returned to his ma
tive State and offered his services to
the boss of the Party in Power.
The hard hearted political ear
would have none of him, however, and
Thomas jefferson came to the conclu-
sion that the Party in Power was cor
rupt. Therefore. he joined the ranks
of the Reform Party and lent the
crushing weight of his oratory in an
effort to convince the plain peepul'
that the Predatory Pilferers In office
had stolen everything but the brass
hinges on the Capitol door
After several years of incessant ora
tory, the promising youth was Sent to
the legislature on the Reform Ticket
he won instant recognition by propos.

designated by the Department of Pub

statewide movement is to III
greater interest in the schools. The

be made by the teachers, the regular
routine will be followed and visitors
will be able to see methods in use
daily in the class room. Every citi-
zen and parent is urged to visit the
school at this time. This is a most
excellent suggestion by the Commits
sioner of Education and parents will
do we'll to take advantage of the sug-
gestion in the interests of their chill
dren and the welfare of the commun-
ityl 1t will also act as a stimulant
to the teacher.

Where Do You Stand?

Someone has divided mankind into
four c~lasses-those who consistently
do less than is expected of them;
those who do what is expected of them
but no more; those who do things
without having to be told, and finally,
those who have the magnetic power OF
inspiring others to do things.
All the failures in this world are
recruited from the first class. The
second class comprises those who
scrape along in some form of drudgery
or hack work. Men of the third class
are always in great demand in the fac
tory and in the office. but the fourth
class represents the highest rung Il.
the ladder of success.
In the world of industry the fourth
class is attained by the diligent few
who have caught the spirit of their
task and are able to impart it to the
men under them They are the meb
who. without being slave drivers. are
able to increase the output of an in
