Leasi noticed in the news of (he
day are those minor ileitis telling
of catastrophes met by men occu
pying an inconspicuous place in ;
the world. A belt slips and the
mill worker is carried to his home
on u stretcher by co-laborers, who
administer crude comfort to a grief
stricken family and return to the
hazardous occupation; a man at the
smelter falls into molten metal; a
structural steel worker running
along a girder make a misstep and
plunges ten stories down; a sledge
slips in the car shops and a man is
crippled for life; a trainman in the
performance of duty is maimed or
killed these and other incidents
in the world of industry happen
with a frequency that dulls the
senses unless accompanied by
some spectacular feature to cause
a inomentarp thrill of interest.
Certain occupations are hazard
ous, yet there is mulh hazardous
work that has to be done. No
machine can be substituted for the
finger and the brain of the trained
laborer in certain tasks. Danger
is everywhere in the mighty un
dertakings of industry; but where
ever danger is there is always a
man to brave it undeterred by any
thought of the risk involved. The
hazard of the job is recognized,
hut w elcomed either because of its
appeal, because it is in the line of
duty or because there is a family
back home to support. To the
credit of industry much is being
done to minimize risk, and in the
J event of accident to render some
1 measure of compensation. Rail
roads are among the most ener
; getic of corporations in looking
j after the man incapacitated in the
j performance of duty, and recogni
tion of the obligation is general,
i The debt owed bv lite public to
' the man in overalls is large, but '
j sometimes disregarded. His work
i calls for no display of pyrotechnics i
; to attract attention; it is generally
! prosaic and frightfully hard. Lip- j
: on the faithful performance of it
: depends the world's advancement.
Credit for mighty feats of construe- j
i tion properly go to the brain that I
I conceived and planned ilnd excu- j
i ted them; but thoughts should be
; given the men in overalls who did
; the work, braved the danger, en
I dured the toil, and wrought into
I splendid realization the finished
; production. The man in overalls
j as he returns from work grimy
I with toil, weary and uncouth in
i appearance, often is subjected to
many little evidences of the exis
tence of a petty caste of clothes.
His next door neighbor may look
sneeringly upon his badge of toil,
careless of the important and hon
' orable part played by this ordinary
j workman; the latter, too, anxious
1 that his children shall not be
ashamed because their father looks
; less tidy than the fathers of their
playmates, may slink in through
the back gate to escape the public
; gaze.
But there is no dishonor in hon
j est dirt. The workman plays an
important and ' essential part.
I Sneers at overalls are out of place.
! In America, at least, the workman
1 can look any millionaire square in
I the eyes in the conviction thai his
, work is relatively quite as impor
tant. Let there be mutual reeog-
Heidsville Heview. j
Sometimes the human heart gets sad; sometimes it grows weary of'
the sham and hollowness of things; sometimes it almost bursts and
cries out that all is vanity. There are two things that console the heart
thus sad. One is woman's pure love smd the other the sweet rythm of
true poetry. The following, which we assume is from the pen of the
editor of the Greensboro News, has touched our heart and voiced
our cry as no other poetry has. It is a master-piece, worthy of the high
est rank among the classics :
CKY Till; HUMAN,
(iod, how weary we grow of it all,
Trying to stifle the ache in the heart;
Smiling, with under the smile a pall,
; Living for service and doing our part.
Tired and weary and ready for rest,
VC'hat do we care when the shadows are prest
Round us and o'er us just so we lie
Ready and willing to whisper good-bye !
God, how we struggle to carry our cross,
Keeping our.sultcrings hid from the town;
Sinking our sorrow and shadow and loss
Down in our bosoms, eternally down !
Sudden, the dark moment wheels to its crux,
What do we care any more for the Hux,
Coming or going, of good or of bad,
Only the joy of the rest makes us glad !
God, how we stumble, feeling our way,
Falling on error and missing our plan;
Swung to be multiple day after day
lirfbrts of reaching the greatness of man !
Finally, after all, dusk and despair,
Dawns the dark moment when what do we care
Where life's tragedy, whether it's still,
Comedy only we're weary and ill !
God, we are tired and we want to cry quit;
Something down deep in the heart bursts in tears;
Yearning we come for the privilege to sit
Down in our desolate dream of the years;
Weary and sick of it lead us away !
Nothing shall matter of work or of play;
The time conies when all that we care for is sleep,
Hand in thy hand as we drift to the deep !

BY V. R. KINGSBURY.
Poor weary, tired soul,
Life of darkness and gloom!
No stars to twinkle in Heaven's jewled crown;
No ray of sunshine o'er my dreams, of earth's fair vision born
No peace, or hope to heal my wounded Soul,
No consumation of love to guide me on
To fairer fields of bliss;
No Voice to speak in tender words of trust,
And fill my yearning heart with love.
Oh, dismal day !
Why pierce my heart so deep?
Touch not again the tender chords of
Love !
Karth's tender love has failed to find
An abiding place for me. ,
Poor Cupid's arrow has stung my heart
In depths of agonizing dreams.
Life's fate is upon me,
Larth's sweet sunlight is blackened
By Hope's lost reward.
But with it all,
God's sweet love forever
Shines, to light the way
To Heaven's home.
A SUPERIOR SEX.
Man Is Undoubtedly the Inferior
j Sex and Should Retire to the
Last Row of Seats and He Quiet.
There is a lot ot vainglorious
i expression on the part of the man
1 about their being the superior sex.
! e hear too much of man's eu-1
j durance, of his intellect, of his ex- j
; ccutive ability and all that sort of
thing.
1 Take a man and make him wear j
! a spotted veil and he will be nearly j
blind within a year. j
' Pinch a man into corsets and ;
; within a week he will have heart '
; trouble, chronic pleurisy, acute in- j
' digestion, appendicitis and a funer-1
j al- !
Pile a few pounds of false hair 1
i on a man's head and he will sue-!
cuiiib to brain lever within a
month. ,
Tie a man's ankle in a hopple I
skirt and he will have rheumatism, j
followed by paralysis of the legs 1
from lack of exercise. j
Clamp a man's teet in tight shoes
and make him toddle about on
high heels and he will 'die of the '
charley-horse. 1
Man loses on the score of endu
rance alone. Intellect and execu
tive ability are argued by the ca-,
paeity to combat these tortures and
: trials. Man is undoubtedly the in- j
ferior sex and should retire to the j
last row of seats and be quiet.
