No substitute has ever been discov-
cred for tenacity OF purpose. Nothing
can take the place OF clear grit. An
education cannot, rich father can
not, influential pulls" cannot. nor can
any advantage Of birth or fortune.
Tenacity OF purpose is characteristic
of all men who have accomplished
great things. They may lack other de-
sirable traits may have all sort Of Pc
culiarities and weaknesses, but the
quality OF persistence, clear grit. is
never absent from the man who does
things. Drudgery cannot disgust him,
labor cannot weary him. hardships
cannot discourage him. He will per-
sist no matter what comes or goes,
because persistence is part Of his ma
ture.

There's a man in the world who is
never turned down,
Wherever he chances to stray;
He gets the glad hand in the popu-
lous town,
Or out where the farmers make hay,
He's greeted with pleasure on deserts
of sand,
And deep in the aisles OF the woods;
Wherever he goes there is the well
coming hand
He's the man who delivers the goods.

A COLUMN DEDICATED TO TIRED
MOTHERS AS THEY JOIN THE
HOME CIRCLE AT EVEN
ING TIDE.

Often young people are enamored
by the life in the city. They think II
must be wonderful TO be away from
the bonds of home--from the home
town where they are known by every
passer by They dream by the hour
OF the big city where they could wan
der about at will, eat every meal at
different restaurant and see hundreds
of faces every day that they have new
er seen before and will never see again
The immensely and the ever lasting
change OF the city grips them and they
want 10 try It. They are not content
with dreaming.
However, II is rather a sad disillus-
comment for those who learn how mis-
taken they have been. II is true that
some go to the city and make sue
cess of II, but the successful ones are
few and far between. At first II IL
true, they all think It wonderful. They
enjoy the crowds, tine lights, the
strange sights. But soon II begins to
pail on them. They soon learn that
the food in every restaurant, though
they may be blocks apart. one called
perhaps the "old Southern Inn" and
the other a French Rotisserie" tastes
tAdClly tHt lHlChtH
seem TO be regarded as special treat
lat least the prices are higher-but
II you ate with your eyes closed you
would never known It was chicken. AS
for pancakes or hot biscuits. the kind
that mother used to make" are things
unknown in the city.
And how good familiar face would
look. All these other faces soon look
just alike. Yes the city very soon loses
its flavor unless fortunate circum-
stances ntervene-congeniai work and
friends.
In case this does not happen, for
tunate indeed is the youth who can
put his pride in his pocket, and re-
turn to his native heath sadder and
wiser man.

ra.a and Fugue IN d minor and
Beethovcn's Sonata, Op. 81, No. 3. Mr..
Denton was not at his best. The Bach
number was convcntionally played and
his performance Of the sonata was too
precious. too refined to be within the
character Of the music. He was far
more successful in the second half Of
the program. which included Chopin,
Johns, Palmgrcn. RachmaninoT and
tiszt In these he displayed an agree
able touch, nuoncy and a nice sense
Of intcrpr, tation.

There have been eladder tidings of

noon, contain the news about "Thc Cat

Willard, its author, to be a cheek

and then TO alright us with its har-
rowing irrationaitics. But Mr. Will

say nothing of listlcssncss.

At times the conversation in "The
Cat and the Canary seemed almost
eXtemporancous. as If it were being
made up by the characters AS they
went along for no other purpose than
TO kill time. There We were in the last
act waiting impatiently for the panel
IN the library wall to open and disclose
the hdcous assassin of Roger Crosby
the attorney y-at-law. We we're rather
keen as to the identity of the mur-
dcrer. 1t might have been any one OF
the disappointed heirs Of old man West.
the eccentric rcclusc; or "Mammy"
Pleasant, his forbidding West Indian
housekeeper; or the pallid surgeon; or
nails, from the ncighboring sanitarium.
Perhaps it was with an idea Of provld-
ing the situation with suspense that
Mr.. Willard deferred so long his dis.
closure. Bat some Of us meantime
grew weary listening to Henry Hull
delirously describing Ford garage
to Miss Florence Eld1 .'ye. as on scv-
eral previous occasions we had tired Of
meaningless colloquys between more
commonplace and irritating characters

WOONSOCKET MILL
STRIKE Is SETTLED
Second Plant in Blackstone
Valley to Make Peace With
Textile Unions.
TROUBLE OVER PICKETS
May Lead to Another Clash
With Soldiers in the Paw
tucket Valley.

PROVIDENCE, March 4.-Announcement
was made by the management OF the
woonsocket Falls Mills at woonsocket
r. l., that the strike in that plant.
which began three weeks ago. has been
settled by compromise. The mill. which
employs $50 hands In the manufacture
OF plush. will reopen Monday morning.
This Is the second plant In the Black
stone Valley to make peace with the
strikers. Earlier in the week the Acme
Finishing Company in Pawtucket had
agreed 10 cancel its notice of a fifty-four
hour week and % per cent. wage re-
duction. According to to-day's an
nouncement the Woonsocket Falls Mills
will retain the forty-e hour week,
and the workers will accept a wage
reduction of from 6 to 10 per cent.
Tonight both James M. Dick, organ
izer Of the Amalgamated Textile Work
ers, who is heading the strike forces in
the Pawtuxet Valley, and Thomas f
McMahon, president Of the United Tex
tile Workers, director of the Blackstone
Valley strike. declared that Monday
morning would see renewed activity in
all sections Of the Rhode Island textile
area. The policy of intensified picket
ing was announced to the strikers at
mass meeting throughout the day, and
Mr.. McMahon stated tnat one bhachSeohc
Valley mill. which he did not name,
would see mass picketiny."
In the Pawtuxet Valley. where the
Hope company's mill at Hope was re-
opened Thursday and pickets were later
driven from the vicinity of the plant by
cavalrymen and machine gunners. strik-
ers will test their picketing rights Ito
the limit" Dick announced. Monday is
the time set for the test. A ruling has
been made by Deputy Sheriff Nathan
Colvin Of Providence county and Major
Samuel A. Hall. commanding the troops
in the Pawtuxet Valley. that only for
mer employees of the Hope mills may
picket that plant.
Regardless of what the authorities
say, we have right to peacefully picket
plants and to stop those who are going
to work on any public highway or any

public approach to mill and morally
persuade them not to enter the plant"
said Mr.. Dick in published statement.
III the authorities care to make test
case OF 1t before the highest tribunal In
the United States we are prepared to go
with legal advisers and fight the case
TO q finish."
The State Board OF Mediation and
Cancellation. which failed early In the
week TO induce mill owners and strikers
to submit their differences to arbitra-
tion, reentered the situation to-day. At
the close of a meeting lasting two hours
and half It was announced that the
board had renewed attempts at arbitra-
ton. Failing in this effort. the state
ment continued, the board would take
other measures "of great interest to the
public"
Minor disorders were reported to-day
at Arkwright. In the Pawtuxct Valley.

only one, and from what / can gather
it is a little different from most other
peoples. / create one more or less
interesting personality. try to think OF
some dramatic situation In which he

their own destiny. l simply pull the
strings. If there is anything of nat

/ don't place manacles upon the crea-
lures of my fancy. I let them go their
own way and am content to be their
more or less faithful recorder.
If l were to attempt 10 work from
a synopsis I should be done. My story
would be stilted and untrue. MY char
acters would resent II and at once kick
over the traces. They would line out
in sulky and lethargic indifference. My
readers would at once say. 'Pshaw! He
has written too much And my pub
fishers would hint at the high price
of paper and an old age pension. So
leave the synopsis alone.'
