Do not be a slave In your work then.
Work, but don't be worked. If you have
to do the work of an ox, don't be an ox. I
t'nder all circumstances be true to your ;

your hands, work also with your mind
and you will get mini; work with your
hoiiI and you will get soul, I venture to
t.iy that full 30 per cent of our day
laborers are slavee under a free govern
ment. Some" times It, Is because they
are victims of ch-cumatancea perhaps,

because in his work he aaw nothing but
toll, with a pittance thrown In to keep
him tied down to toll. The money was
merely the chain that kept him from
running away.
One word. In closing,' to employers:
You have not discharged your full obliga

A pretty little woman I know came swirling; out of her dressing
room, her petticoat whispering violently about her ankles. Her
hair was tumbled, her eyes wide and between her finger and yiunib
she held something aloft. In the sun, when she came close, it shone
silver! "Out of my head, my own hair," she stammered. "A snow
"white iiair! " I can't believe It. What-what am I going todo? Do
you think I am going to grow white right away without waiting?"
And I laughed, and laughed, and told her of a girl I knew who
had silvery balr scattered through; her brown since she could remem
ber. I reminded her how few her summers were. Ad I told her
she'd make a darling grandmother, anyway!
But she didn't melt once a smile. And I knew that behind her
wide, blue eyes, when she turned away and stared into the mirror,
she was looking out at her poor Eve's bugaboo! Summoned by the
sight of one tiny silver hair! The vision that girls, even at the Boft
years of 16 and cry, "That Isn't It when I am old I will not care;
I will feel no older sonietlmessee" their own face looking at them,
old and wrinkled and pallid, frost-crowned, weary and soon gone!
This was Eve's nightmare.
And as she stares, fascinated by her own Imagination, ttme shuf
fles softly by her windows. . Poor Eve! And Love poor love, he
has imagination, too. Why do the two of them fear age? And
watch for it? Youth is Narcissus; it loves Itself, it suns itself In
the joy of knowing that it Is smooth and pink and unwearied. It
Joys In sleep and effort; it breathes deeply, and smiles, and smites
Us chest, and cries aloud for the world to look upon Its newness.
It glories In being Itself! It envies no one. Youth U Narcissus,
enamored of Its own image In the water; and It hates and fears the
ruffling of the mirror and the banishing of itself and Its own smile
from the glass! Youth crlea when you lay a soft hand on Its arm,
end say, "Age Is lovely, If you keep on smiling. There are grand
mothers more lovely than you are now in your sheerest, pink frock.
Silver Is beautiful, as gold Is beautiful" Youth will fling off your
hand than all my friends who gather frost along with me; I will even
forget bow I looked when I waa young I will almost believe I al
ways had snowy hair! Ml be tired then, too, and almost ready to
sleep long. Dut I don't want to not care; I don't want to forget
how I looked when I was young I want to stay right here! I don't
want to be glad to rest. I am so happy now."
So poor Eve and Love tight Age and Change before they are out
of their 'teens! "And each of them thinks that life will be no longer
tasty and sweet when they are not Just what they are now. Love
fears for Eve, and Eve stalks Love with an anxious eye. Neither
trusts the other or knows the real rich core that Ilea beneath the
surface of beauty of the other. Oh, Love aren't you wise enough
to know, In all these years, that, you also grow old along with Eve,
and never notice when her hair fades into silver?
And yet "aren't I preaching?" and yet I don't like that growing-old
thing, either! Though I hope I'll be a fat grandmother, any
. way. NELL BRINKLEY.

have to be chloroformed before you can
get them Into a clean collar.
"I know college girls who have gone
out of their way to pick out husbands
who never read anything but the market
report, and the sporting page In the news
papers, and whose pronunciation gave
their wives the fantoifa every time they
open their mouths.

this is thus."
"Oh, When a woman marries, ahe mar
rles to gratify her leading passion," re
lurnea me Bienograpner, "that s the an
swer."
"And what's her leading passion?" In
quired the Bookkeeper.
"The mania for reforming thlnrs," re
SFonaea ins Mcnograprier. "when a
woman falls In love with a man she Isn't
Attracted by his virtues, but by his
faults.
"tihe doesn't say to herself, "how noble
of alterrng It even If she ruins It."
"Meyl-e you're on," says the Book
keeper, "but why doesn't a woman marry
the kind of a hurband she wants in the
first place. Instead of trying to rut him
over by her own pattern?"
"Because," answered the Pttenographer,
"If she did, ahe would miss all the fun of
making iilm do the things he docan't want
to do, and never expected to do, and give
up doing? ad the things he does want to
do, and has been in the habit of doing.
"I'm, not explaining the why of this.
but it's a fact that the Very first symp
tom of tenderness a woman feels toward
a man Is when ahe begins to think how
she would have Ms hair rut It she waa

"It m'JHt be pretty lonesome for the
women who don't marry, and have no
body to reform," suggested the Book
keeper. "It Used to be before women elected
themselves to the office of public guard
Ian to the universe," reaponded the
Stenographer.
"Now the aplnstera who have no legiti

reforming things in the world Instead of
