Dorothy Dir Talks

By DOROTHY DIX
Werld's highest Paid wemaD write.


Did you ever think that there is
nothing else on earth that pays such
dividends on the time and effort in
vested in it, as good nature?
In a world full of glooms and
grouches, and razor-edged tempers,
and nerves set on hair trigger, we
are so ALFRED grateful to people who
are cheerful, and smiling, and easy to
get along with that we are ready to
eondone everything they do and don't
do, and make doormats of ourselves
before them.
Good nature is an alibi>for all of the
virtues and most of the talents, and
an optimistic nature, an easy laugh.
and an India rubber disposition will
carry any man or woman farther than
the whole moral code, or anything
short of absolute genius.
It's even a substitute for beauty.
For between Venus with a prickly
temper, and subject to moods and
lenses, and Mary Jane with a snub
nose and earrotty hair, and jolly, and
soothing, and agreeable to have
around, Mary Jane wins out every
time.
1t is matter of common knowledge
that the prettiest girl in the COM
munity seldom makes the best match.
Very often she doesn't even have the
most beauX. That is because i ing
pictures are nearly always spoiled, and
nor women like that sort of a girl, or
help her along.
The popular girl is generally Just
average as to good looks and intelli-
genee. but she's got the charm of
charms to conjure with She's good
natured. She's willing to fall in with
anybody else's plans, and do her best
to make every OCCASION a. success.
She admires the other girls clothes
and is sincerely glad when aElys good
luck comes to her friends. She'll
teach an awkward hoy how to dance,
and make a shy one feel at home, and
she is always invited everywhere be-
cause she. is so pleasant to have about,
and nobody cares. winter she is pretty
or not, or dresses in. the latest syle
or not
how to retain a husbands love and
keep him thinking that you are the
Only Woman,r even after you are fat
and forty, and no longer fair. You
never hear of man getting divorce
| from a good natured wife. You never
hear of a man finding out that wife
sonable, isn't his real soul mate, or
of a man leaving bright, jolly home
| to chase after chickens.
On the contrary, we have all seen
men put up with wives who were
! wasteful, and extravagant, and lazy
and shiftless but who had the redeem
| ing quality of beig geod-natured and
: agreeable We all know homes where
meals are never on time, where the
cooking is atrocious, where everything
is at skies and sevens, but where we
! love to go because at the head of it is
a woman who is SO sweet and joyous,
| so Overlooking with the milk of hui
oman kindness, that we go away feel
| ing as if, for little wAIe, we had
| tarried on a. high place and supped
! on the bread of life.

STRIKE HAS FEW TERRoRs.

Reports of the commercial agencies
Indicate that the threatened railroad
strike is having little if any effect on
business. The movement toward nor
malcy has gained such Roadway it
seems that it will take more than a
strike scare to stop it.
Summed up, the events of the week
would seem to indicate, says Brad
streets, that while some irregularities
have developed and there is less of a
wire edge on some buying, the prevail
ing opinion is that now is as good a
time as any to try out the question
whether a small, tho confessedly i'm
portant, fraction of the countrys
workers is stronger than all the rest
of the great body of producers and
consumers of the nation.
The facts are, continues the report,
that the impetus with which fall trade
was moving previous to the strike an
nouncement was too great to be over
come Immediately; that seasonal. in
fluences have in most cases made for
continuance Of the moderate trade
revival hitherto noted, and that man
ufaoturing, industry and building have
actually moved at a better pace, while
unemployment has been reduced still
further as a variety of industries feel
sympathetic quickening, and the first
immediate effects OF strike talk, aside
from momentary flurries in the grain,
cotton and stock markets, have been
to cause a slight quickening of buying
or ordering forward of goods already
bought.
Henry CIews says: Events have
shown that neither the prospect of
the strike itself nor the harm to be
expected from it are to be so serious
| ly regarded as was at first thought.
Hence the Influence of the strike
threat as a market factor has de-
clined."
One effect of the strike danger, he
! continues. has been to encourage the
steady movement of agricultural prod
uets to market. While the result OF
this movement has been in some
measure that of tending to reduce
| prices in consequence of heavy offer
ings, the placing of available funds in
the hands of producers has put them
in position to make settlement with
the banks and with merchandise con-
! Germs. This tends to ease the credit
situation correspondingly.

out, however. The teller was merely
discharged, but the stain On his char
acter made it difficult for him to get
work in the vicinity. Ne other bank
or business firm would employ him,
and he was compelled to do manual
labor.
Ten years later the bank decided to
remodel its interior. Behind a loose
panel in the wall of the teller's cage
the missing $1,000 bills were found
1t was the tellers opportunity for
righteous retribution, and he took adj
vantage of it. Having lest his job and
reputation thru the dilapidated condi-
ton of the banks interior, he brought
suit for defamation of character and
received a great deal more than the
missing $4,000. Thus, as Mr.. D. W.
Griffith would say, was manly virtue
rewarded.
For movie comedy material there is
middle western bank, who MaS dis
patched to the railroad station with
$500 requested by a wealthy depositor
who was passing thru the town. It
was a breezy March day, and as the
clerk waited for the train he strobe
bFiskly up and down the platform,
whistling and tossing the bills into the
air. Suddenly they were caught in the
wind and swept down the railroad
track. A hog foraging hungrily along
the track shifted the money and swaI-
lowed it. The poor clerk went in
search of the man who owned the hog
and bought it. Then he had it butch
cred, hoping that it's stomach would
contain fragments of the money that
would be redeenable at the treasury
department. But the hog had masti-
Gated too efficiently. The $500 was,
ruined, and the surety company had to
make good the banks loss.

in connection with the threatened
railroad strike it is being demonstrate
ed that labor organizations, like polit-
zeal organizations, may attain so great
a size that they become unwieldly and
fan to pieces Of their own weight
Failure of several railway unions 20
Join the proposed strike illustrates
the point. The same thing happened
in England. When the coal miners
went out, depending upon the trans
portation unions for help, the latter
failed them and the miners lost. HUI
man nature is much the same whether
inside or outside an organization. AL
ways there is a large amount of con-
sheraton for the welfare of Number
One" The most powerful incentive to
human action is selfishness.

OCTOBER.
By EDGAR A. GUEST.

October and the crimsoned trees,
The smell of smoke upon the ereezei
The morning mist and autumn's chill
The brown of death upon the hill
And vet a sense Of loneliness
Which pen or brush cannot express.
A strange mysterious calm which seems
The canvas Of thousand dFeamsi
The calm Of duty nobly done,
The peace Of battles truly won,
The Joy with which all heart are thrilled
A sense of promises fulfilled.
Beyond October winter waits
To nile It's snow before the gates:
What men call death shall hurl it's stroke
Alik9 at paint or giant oak,
And vet beneath the snowdrifts deep
We know the violets merely sleep.
Mankind has its October, tee.
when little more there is TO do,
And we may claim the sweet content
of strength that has been nobly spent
And yet we fear. when comes the snow,
There is no spring where we shall &C.
October with its lovely breath
Voices the cry: there is no death.
Men read it in Il thousand ways
We see beyond the mist and haze
Which shFoud the hills and valleys deep
That all shall wake who fall asleep

In ordering a reduction in freight
rates on number of commodities the
interstate commerce commission has
pulled another prop from under the
contentious OF the railroad brother
hoods. They cannot hope to maintain
the existing wage scale while the price
OF railroad service declines. Having
been compelled to reduce rates the
roads will be in a strong position for
demanding another cut in wages. 1t
might be a good plan for the carriers
and their employees to get together in
a defensive alliance in an effort to
stopia continuing decline in both rates
and wages, which now appears among
the possibilities.
