with sudden deafness when you order
ed him to "gwan home" He never
learned to do any of the marvellous
tricks you tried to teach him until
you lost your patience-though he
never lost his. He never saved you
from drowning. He was not the

NO MORE OVERTIME

One of the most vicious pieces of radical legislation
which passed by the Wisconsin assembly
so-caIed eight hour BILL
casual reaulng of the bill might give the impress
sion that simply appnes the principle of tne elgnnour
to all classes OF labor, tnat the man who worked
over that limit would be given proper compensation Tor
overtime
But the bill cuts deeper than that It aboishes over
time and overtime pay 1t prohibits any person. man.
Child from working over eight hours day in
any mill, factory manufacturing pant, though
they themselves want to work overtime and earn over
time pay.
it applies to every person on the payroll from
the president OF the company down to the office boy 1t
not only includes the workman in the shop but the clerk
in the office everybody in fact employed by the company
with the single exception of night Watchmen.
AS great concession the bill does permit overtime
for the making of necessary repairs in of
gency wnen life or property is in imminent danger
Otherwise eight hours is the limit with overtime
ard no overtime pay.
1t has hitherto been the policy of organized labor
The Telegram understands it, to establish eight hours
as working day. SO that the workman VINO worked over
that limit would receive time naf for
time But this eight-hour bill would abolish all overtime
and overtime pay.
The average plant has times when more than eight
hours work Gay is almost necessity. Eight
day may be sufficient for average production but
contracts to be finished within specified time and
other kinds of emergency production called for it is
necessary that sufficient number of workers pitch in
and work than eight hours day until the job is
finished.
To say that no person shall work longer than eight
hours thus deprive labor of the overtime Wnich
helps to tatten many pay envelope is certainly not egis
latlon in the interest of labor
Such a law would probably put half the manufacture
ing establishments in Wisconsin out of business.
The assembly passed this bill with its usual ight-heart
ed and carefree dispatch It's title proclaimed law to
protect the health OF the workers and that probably
sufficient to convince the average assembyman that it
must be good bill.
But not everybody in Wisconsin is working for their
health. And those who like little overtime in their pay
envelopes might do well to tell their state senators about
For if that bill passes the senate there will be no
overtime in the pay envelopes of Wisconsin work

forth emphasized especially the value
of several clubs in a town as to ac-
complishing needed results and the aid
that the Maine Federation might be to
clubs, which she illustrated by the
fact that the different clubs could con-
tribute small amounts but that the
sum total of all the clubs would be
sufficient to accomplish much good,
for instance such as a scholarship
fund which would enable some worthy
girl in the state to receive an educa-
ton. She also spoke with much ia
vor of federation of local or county
clubs and believed that philanthropy
was more necessary than the great
number of papers which used to pre-
vail. She did not mean, however.
that papers should by any means be
entirely abolished from club programs.
Delicious refreshments of homemade
candies and sailed nuts were served
by the committee in charge.

April to October, when the general
heating plant is nearly or quite shut

heater which can be switched on any
time to hasten the work Of the other
devices referred to. OF course 1t

Bar Harbor Nursery Company. As

at that time. There Is really an
important difference between laying

my wife and myself would look across
the river to the Nell Hillside and note
that same brown spot every Spring.
One morning, probably in April. we
took our daughter In her little sled
and walked on the crust, down over
the field, across the river, and climbed
the steep embankment to the brown
spot / had looked at so long. We
found that 1t occurred in part by
reason of a cedar and two maple
trees which helped to reflect the sup
light onto the sloping hillside so that
the snow proceeded to get out of the
way some weeks earlier there than
elsewhere. | remember that we
called at the Wentworth's, who had
had a home on Neil Hill for several
years. The view from their southern
window was charming and we were
not long In deciding that, when such
a thing were possible, we would buy
a lot next east from the Wentworth

spot which had called us there. A
few years later this transaction was
effected and we became the owners Of
a tract fronting on Norridgewock
avenue for six rods and extending
back about sixteen rods. We spent
the next year studying plans and
then, in the Spring of 1902 COM
menced the erection of the house
which now stands there.

Our years study of plans had includ-
ed visits to earlier built homes In
Somerset County and elsewhere and
we really had an excellent idea OF
what was wanted. Perhaps this
house came nearer to our views In
this respect than Is usual with home
builders. There was very little
about 1t that we would have changed.
1t was just large enough for us with
the number, five, to which the family
finally grew. When we had COM
pany sometimes this roof sheltered
with our own family as many as
twelve people, which was perhaps a
comfortable limit to its rooming ca

turning Spring season. Even at that
somewhat early age was glad to see
signs of Spring and this recurring
brown area made an impression on
my mind. AS I grew older the
thought occurred to me that It would
be nice place to live because, rea-
soned, the sun must meet that hill in
such a way as to warm things up
early, from my point of view, then as
now, desirable feature. IL soon
occurred to me that house located
there would face the south and the
sunrise, which l came to know would
be considered desirable in residence
architecture.

the impression, in the Summer sea-

consists OF a frOck with a silk top, a
wrap-around skirt OF wool and a hip
length coat which has a cape extend
Ing just we the shoulders. The collar
is often fur and sometimes there are
fur cuffs, but the model which has
been received most enthusiastically
has simply the touch Of fur at the
neck.
There are also charming little frocks
Of wool, velvet or velveteen. These
have q short, straight or circular cape
which snaps onto the shoulders and
may be removed when necessary.
In one instance 1t is fashioned OF
very dark green wool. The cape Is OF
circular cut and has n collar Of gray
caracul. On the frock there is a little
straight Chinese collar Of silver en-
broidery and this touch Of silver Is re-
peated in the flaring cuffs.

Mode Is Given
Prominence in Paris

Strange how the Chinese mode has
swept over us by way OF Paris. Most
Of the openings speak Of Chinese
colors and Chinese feeling, but it has
remained for Lanvin TO present us
with coolie coats developed In all
sorts Of attractive fabrics the coolie
never dreamed about. These she tops
with mandarin hats-just to be incon.
sistent and democratic and altogether
feminlnely French. Since nah jongg
has become so popular that specia!
rooms in the houses OF enthusiasts
are being decorated as a background
for play, the Chinese coats and hats
ought to have strong attraction for
those women who always get the new
thing, and get It first.

Serge, Twill for
Chic New Outfit
Navy Blue, or Neutral Beige
and Gray Popular for
Fall Wear.

Come what will In the world Of fash
ion, there is no such thing as oblivion
for the tailored frock OF serge or twill.
In navy blue or neutral beige and gray,
declares a fashion correspondent In
The Kansas City Star. 1t holds Its
season after season, and the remark
able thing Is that designers contrive to
give 1t a distinctly new aspect each
time 1t appears.
This year a certain variation In de-
tails is noted, with much attention paid
to those suggested by the modes OF
China. This, perhaps, is more in the
Introduction Of color and in touches
Of embroidery or the application Of
narrow bands of bright trimming
around the neck and down the side,
just as one sees in the Chinese coats.
1t is probably by the clever use Of
color that navy blue frocks of this
season are distinguished from those of
last.
In line they are straight and slim,
with wrist-length sleeves which are
sometimes tight, but quite as often
bell-shaped, with dainty undersleeves
Of net or muslin.
For practical purposes nothing takes
the place of q dark blue gown, and
with the addition OF a well chosen hat,
shoes and stockings of correct lines
and colors, and a scarf of really good
fur, 1t constitutes a street costume
that leaves nothing to be desired in
the way Of chic and good taste.
Afternoon and dinner gowns Of lace
and velvet are shown with cape or
