One never knows what may turn up in
New York"
The attic. my curiosity about the
trunk, and what it contained, all
were forgotten in my delight. Then
suddenly came the thought-he is
afraid to leave me alone for fear I'll
invite someone here, or do something
to displease himI But L would not
allow even that thought to dampen
my delight. 1 wrote mother a note
before I started to pack my things.
Everett is going to New York and
is taking me with him" I told her,
1--WE are going to/take in some plays,
and he is to do some shopping for
me, he says He is really awfully good
to me, mother, and you mustn't worry
about what Rose says. She does exag-
gerate, you know, at times most
dreadfully-
THE only trouble with Everett is
that he can't consider me as grown
up He treats me like a child, in
stead of a married woman. Perhaps
some day he will realize that 1 have
grown, and will act as if I had. I'm
til then 1 will have to make the best
of it. I suppose. 1 am so sorry Rose
worried you about it
Ny letter finished, I hurried up
stairs and laid out the things wanted
to take with me. Then 1 called up
to New ork. and asked if she wished
me to do anything for her She gave
me several commissions which I
promised to fulfill with care

and when Mrs. Barr corrected me, my
answer was more impulsive than po-

DOES TT PAY?

The building contractors in Chicago,
Notwithstanding their bold utterances
of a fight to a finish with organized
labor, have surrendered. The 81 an
hour wages, for which the carpenters
stood fast, has been granted. No
sooner was the victory won than
twelve more building trades unions
filed demands for an identical 81 an
hour wage.
A look backward over the strike and
it's results has caused the Investment
News of that city tic do little figuring
with the following result:
Assuming that the raise granted the
carpenters. and the bricklayers, and
the hodcarriers, and all others down
the line, holds good and fast for one
year, how much better off will these
workers be?
They will receive daily 10 cents
more in wages. $4.2O week and for
fifty-two weeks $21S.4O. They re-
manned idle exactly thirteen weeks,
During that period they lost 92h
cents for each of the eight hour
days. or $40 a day. equal to
$4440 week. In the thirteen
weeks of enforced idleness they
are out exactly $5772O. To win
$21S.4o additional they lost $577.20.
At the end of September, 1920. they
will be out a net sS5S.SO. the differ
ence between the wages at 921z cents
an hour which they would have
earned since June, had they worked
and the 81 an hour which they will re-
ceive during the coming fiscal year
Doubtless. says the News. they have
given this phase of the situation little
if any thought. Nor have they con-
sidered who is the real beneficiary
They might ask their officials, limou-
sine delegates and others to eIucidate
/ on that point.
Meanwhile they might also examine
: the savings bank account. That, too
/ might instruct.

Admiral Bradley Fisks was talking

minds me of Swetson.''
What struck Swetson?' a man
asked at the club. He failed in medi-

failed in the ministry, and now he's
moved into $4,000 flat in Riverside
Drive
"'Well, you see.' said another man,
'Swetson has started to write maya
zine articles on why Men Fail" and
he's made a mighty good thing of it.

Marsden G. Scott, president of the
International Typographical union.
has issued a warming to members of
that organization against the wild
eyed radicals" who are leading their
followers into a pocket, from which
there is no escape. He declares that
'incoherent rawlings of men temporar-
lily or permanently mentally unbal-
anced, scurrilous attacks and vicious
lies have never won a victory for de-
cent trades unions.F He says that of
far greater Importance than the ques-
ton of wages and hours is the funda-
mental question of the stability OF the
Industry based upon the faithful per-
Torrance of contracts. Unfortunately
for all concerned the men who indulge
in 'incoherent rawlings are found in
almost every labor union in almost
every city, while men like President
Scott are too few.

GREATEST.

GREATEST.
"Too busy to come" said the famous man,
When a neighbor called for aid.
"For you l grieve, but ] cannot leave,
Said the man with fortune made.
Proud pomp replied in a similar way,
Il haven't the time to be kind today"
The sick man sighed for a friendly hand
And the smile of friendly face,
But the great passed by and he wondered
And the swift still kept the pace.
They were all too bent on their own af-
To give much thought to another's cares.
But one unknown tn pomp or fame
Who plodded along the way,
Heard the sick man cry as he wnFiered
by,
And he turned from his busy day
To sit with him for a little while
With cheerful word and a friendly smile.
For kindness isn't of time or chance,
Nor something that dwells apart;
1t does its tasks when brother asks
And throbs in friendly heart
And think someday We shall come to find
That the greatest man is the one who S
kind.

When living costs already are high
er than the American people can pa
tiently endure. when costs of farming,
of building, of doing business, of per-
forming service already are SO high
that they are all but prohibitive. coal
miners with their proposal of thirty
hours of work a week-meaning a
heavy reduced volume of production
and correspondingly increased cost of
production, not merely in the coal
fields, but in all fields-simply propose
to put general capital out of business
and general wage earners out of jobs.
This country can't go on doing BUSH
mess at Unfortunately rising costs that
automatically deadlock the wheels of
industry. Labor can't go on receiving
pay envelopes when the shutters of
mills and factories must go up. And
II the manufacturer can't sell his
products and the wage Garner can't
keep his job the farmer can't sell his
products for lack of earners to buy
as payrolls fade away.
