HIS CHANGE TO MAKE GOOD.
A Once DOwn-and- Outer Repaid an
 Employers Kindness.

One day, long ago, very shabby boy walked unannounced into the of- flee of @ certain rich factory owner. And he said, quite without preface;
 I'm down and out, sir. And mo- body will give me work---nobOdy will give me @ chance to make gpodl If could get a job of any kind I'd wear my fingers to the bone holding it downI I know'---the very shabby boys voice grew hard---"I know you can have me thrown out of your office if you want to, Other men that I've asked for jobs have had me thrown out, But---for pity's sal1e--don't. Give me my chance, inSteadl'
 The rich factory owner looked thoughtfully at the shabby boy. And perhaps he saw the depths of appeal 1 In the boys glance, for, though he was very busy that morning, he sent for his secretary and dictated a nOte 1 to the superintendent of his factory. 1 And then he folded the note into an envelope and gave it to the shabby boy.
 Your chance is in this envelor n,'' he said. And though I'll probably never hear whether you've made good or not---my factory is pretty large I'm wishing you luck!"
 It was a good many years later that a panic swept the country. There were riots in shops and factories, there were shots and curses and state militias called out And the certain rich factory owner went back and forth from his office with a worried flown on his fact And his secretary 'came in every half-hour to give re- ports that became more and more
 disturbing.
 Finally the workers marched out oi
 the factory They marched out in ar
 ugly mood But there was a foreman
 among them who marched with a firm
 step and a resolute expression. One
 looking at him, could tell that he was
 not a part of the mob
 The rich owner and his secretary
 watched from the window, and they
 were frankly frightened. They dtt
 not know quite what would happen
 and they were afraid to guess. The!

The rich factory owner didn't know that his good deed was going to bear a great fruit. He never expected to hear again from the shabby boy who had asked for a, chance.

COURT DENIES
MAYORS WISH

| INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 1.-The pc
tition Of Martin T. Kruger, mayor of
Michigan City, Ind, for an Injunction
against Fred C. Miller. German alien
enemy. mayor-elect, to keep Miller
from taking office Jan. Z. was denied
by Judge A. B. Anderson in the United
States district court here.
Judge Anderson held his court did
not have jurisdiction to grant the re.
lease asked. He suggested as a prop.
or procedure that Kruger might re-
fuse to surrender the office to Miller
on Jan. 7, which would make it neces.
sary for Miller to enter the court and
the whole question could be raised
there.
Mayor Kruger, who has been in Of
flee for four years, was born in Ger.
many but has been citizen of this
country for IS years.
Judge Anderson, who denying the
Injunction, commented caustically on
the political situation In Michigan
City which permitted the election of
persons who have to obtain alien en-
envy permits in order to perform their
duties in all parts Of the city.
Miller, one city councilman, and sew.
eral members of the police depart.
ment there have such permits. Mil
Ter had declared his intention of be-
coming citizen, but never had com.
pleted the process.
