I was not permanently injured, altho

Fortunately the flames had not had

Gray smothered them in the rug.
Often have shuddered at the thought
that but for her quickness. her pres
ence of mind, my curiosity would have
caused my death-a horrible one.
Everett was very tender, very low
ing, yet unusually serious in the days
that followed my accident. Not once
had he mentioned the attic, or how
received the burns, until 1 was able to
get around again, and the pain had
ceased But then he said:

had held the thought in my heart so
long. had grieved over my failure to
win my husbands I thought Leola
had won him-that once 1 gave the
very heart to him in a storm of words
which fairly tumbled over each other.
Not once did Everett interrupt me,
not once did he move until. almost
exhausted by my emotion and sobbing
bitterly, I stopped for breath. Then:
Poor Sandra! Why didn't you tell
me all this long ago?"
'Because-because- couldn't"
stammered between sobs. IL
thought-you still-loved-her better
than you do me. Eyerybody-said

many have told me-or said it so 1

just as-she wanted, to-and-every-

Everett was going to be cross with

ABSORPTION IN ONES WORK.

When universal work shall become
the habit in the world, there will be
no need of any agency for the pre-
vention of wars, intrigues and crimes
whether national or personal.
Absorption in ones work Is the
cure for almost every i'll imaginable.
1t is fine to have ideals, and to be
good in ones aims-but a greater
thing by far. is to work out thru the
powers for work which we possess, the
practical application of those things
which are near and dear to us in their
effect upon society as a whole.
The everlasting greatness of Theo-
dore Roosevelt will always rest upon
the fact that he put his ideals to work
with every ounce of energy which he
possessed And he was so absorbed in

aware of it. Anyone of the natives

warriors was found building a little
wooden shack about a mile from
Washington's mansion He was n car

some of his forebears had carpentered
at Mt. Vernon.
This youth had spent eleven months
in the army and three months in the
thick of the fighting. He had re-
markably little to say about it, He
said that he had enlisted. but that
he was now done enlisting for life. He
said that while he was gone the boys
who stayed at home made a lot of
money, and that now they seemed to
be getting more credit for their money
than he was getting for his glory.
He was questioned about how it feels
to be in war, but like most of the
men who were there, he either
couldn't or wouldn't tell.

an evidence that there is an inteetiOn
on the part of that body to enact a

1. 1t probably has been discovered
that the Esch bifI will be much easier
to handle in a hurry.
1t contains no anti-strike clauses,
tho it does provide for new machinery
to prevent strikes by publicity and
moral suasion. 1t seeks to enlarge the
interstate commerce commission and
to increase the power of that body
giving it supervision over issues of Sc
curities. 1t fixes no minimum rate of
return on railroad investments and
contains no provision for consoIida-
ton. substantial economy in railroad
operation and the like. According to
some critics. 1t is not sufficiently mind
full of the interest of the shippers and
the public, since it contemplates an
other rate increase in the near future
without supplying safeguards against
wasteful competition and mismanage-
ment
Whatever justice there may be in
these assaults~on the measure, says the
Chicago. News, there is, it appears.
-one powerful reason for making it the
basis of railroad legislation. 1t is
house bill, and the house has rules and
is not at the mercy of filibusters and
other obstructionists. 1t can be passed
in two or three days. after a discus
sion limited by the rules committee to
meet an emergency. In the senate
the Cummins bill could be debated in
terminably without its moving a step
nearer enactment.
Emergency legislation providing for
the continuation for some time of the
payment to the carriers of the guaran-
teed, standard return is admittedly es-
sential. This is feature of the Esch
bill. There is reason to think that it
will be easier to pass an amended
house bill-that is, the Esch bill, with
Cummins bill features, incorporated by
amendments-before January 1 than
to make headway with the senate bill.

To the president OF the Baltimore
Federation of Labor are ascribed the
following words of wisdom: mo
program of betterment will prove rea-
sonably effective without a reform in
the spirit of both capital and labor.
The laborer must come to realize that
lie owes his employer and society an
honest days work in return for fair
wage and that conditions can not be
substantially improved until he roots
out the desire to get a maximum of
return for minimum of service. The
capitalist must likewise get new
viewpoint He needs to learn that
long forgotten truth that wealth is
stewardship, that profit making is not
the basic justification of business en-
tcTprise. and that there are such
things as fair profits, fair interest and
fair prices. Above and before all, he
must cultivate and strengthen within
h's mind the truth which many of his
class have already begun TO grasp:
namely, that the laborer is a human
being. not merely an instrument of
production. and that the laborer's
