Nellio and Hob had quarreled. Not
as do many lovers Tor both were ope
rators nnd had charge of olllces whoso
wires were too busy to permit auy war
ol words ; but just enough spaco had
occurred that morning for each to make
tho other miserable. There had long
been nn nlllnity between tho two of a
stronger nature) than usually exists be
tween telegraph operators. Nellio's
tender touches upon the key could
nlonu quiet the nervous twitching ot
Kobin's arm when worn out by the
rush of messages and train orders.
She it was who seasoned tho magne
tNiii of dots and dashes with a balm
that kept his heart sweet and whole
some. This she often did weaving tho
good mornings and good cVcuings into
icncility tetc-a-tctee.
It no happened one winter evening
that Ned Owons, tho operator at Pine
Muff, a liulu station intervening bo
ween Milldale and Fairfield, undo use
of his ground wire, thus cutting off all
communication between the lovers, but
giving himself free scope to talk to his
pretty and scintillating cousin, She,
however Mas not kept in the daik as
to the proceedings, and together they
uniicncti'd o scheme to make the devot
ed Hob Price jealoti.
"It will bo such fun to know that
Hob is fretting and fuming over a
trouble that ho believes to bo caused
by a fallen polo or it dislodged tree,"
snid the handsome Ned, his black eyes
twinkling with mischief.
"And I, in trying to round olf his
surmises, will give a sudden hint of
the truth, get red in the face, and ap
pear much confused,'' continued the
naughty Nellie, tapping her pretty toot
atfliiously aga'.net the embroidered
footstool that adorned the little ofllce.
Poor Nellio Trumont 1 Little does
sho dream that long hours of suffering
must atono for short interva's of heart
lessness and coquetry.
So every day tho ground wire went
on, just at tho time whon Robin had a
few minutes of rest to talk with his
atlianeed, but no answers camo to his
repeated calls.
"There is a ground north of me," he,
repeated, and reported it to the main
office. After testing the wires for
some time tho trouble was located at
Pine Bluff. Explanation was asked
for, and tho wholcaonled Ned, confess
ing that something had bewitched him
in Milldale, was pardoned at the head
quarters, and the matter dismissed.
Hut into the heart of Kobin Price
crept a dark suspicion, which no syllo
gism of his sweetheart seemed true
enough to obliterate. So a deep jeal
ousy budded in his life, that each day
unfolded nnd perfected.
"I will leavo her," ho muttered.
"Why toil and sweat out in existence
for a creature who will perhaps wreck
my manhood as she has threatened
my youth '?'' And with these thoughts
animating his purpose he seized the
key and called "Md," signing "Fd,"
those being tho letters that designated
tho two stations,Milldalu and Fairfield.
Nollio recognized tho Btroko and,
springing from her pet bird's cage to
the table, opened the key and, nfter
making several excited dots,sigued her
oflice call "Md."
"I leavo on 'No. 23' for California,"
were the words that Uio little brass
sounder sang out. "To-night's express
brings you a package and a letter that
explains all. You huvo been false,"
the instrument continued to sing, and
then came n pause and tho circuit
closed.

whisneritiir in poor Nellie's ear. Open
ing again tho key, she vehemently fin
gered it a moment and then plainly
and leisurely drummed out tho most
provoking "O. Iv."
But Ol bow sho longed to call it
back ! How willingly sho would have
told him all, not trying to hido tho
scalding tears that forced their way
down her burning cheeks. Hut it was
too late.
Hobin's fears were now confirmed.
JIo was boarding tho train foi his west
ern tour when some one slapped him
on the shoulders, exclaiming, "Hello,
old paid I What's tho latest from
Milldale 1" Hut, seeing tho desperate
glare in his rival's eye, ho drew back a
foot or two.
"You coward," groaned Robin.
"How daro you meddle with my heart
and now openly try to humiliate me V

Como back into the ollico anil I will

They did tro back into tho oflice,
closed the door, and No. L'3 went whiz,

wero long nnd empty, mo spring
wind, instead of blossoming tho roses
on her cheeks, kissed away tho flush
and lelt her taco wan and expression

littlo ollice, which, like a neglected
flower, had lost its freshness. Ihe
cauary was drooping upon the perch
from thirst nnd nunner, the desK was
tn confusion, nnd everything about the
room reflected tier feelings.
t ho spring tuuo had mado many
chances upon tho wire, Ned had do
sorted his post and a now operator had
tnken charge ot his ollice, which had
nlways lieen u kiud ol playground for
her, when sho gamboled at will. But
now how changed 1 Sho would not
daro to call this newcomer, who seem
ed nlways rushed with business, and
tho nii-lit operator at Fairfield had
slipped into her lover's chair quite
naturally, and taunted her with ninny
an insinuation whenever sho asked for
information or showed a willingness to
converse.
Sitting ono afternoon broodinc ovoi
tho past and dreaming of tho far west
sho was aroused from the lethargy by
her instrument clattering out her ofllce
call, and continuing to reneat the
same until sho had duplicated tlie letters

said the same little sounder that had
been tolling n funeral knell for so long.
"Good evening," was Nellio's timid
response. "You seemed always occu
pieu anu t tcarcu lof intrude."
"Ha, ha," rattled tho relay and
sounder, both seeming to enjoy the
chango that had como over them."
"Yon aro mistaken. Business is dull
enough here. How do you pass your
leisure timo T I do not hear you as
often as I did as I did ahom 1 the
lady operator on tho C. it A. line
whoro I camo from."
"Most any way," replied Nellie. "I
crochet and make verses sometimes
when there is n lull on the line." Then
the demon of her old self camo back to
her and revived her spirits. "How
prettily you send," wrote tho dainty
lingers. "Go ahead. I love to hear
you."
"Thanks,' said tho now operator, be
ginning to make each 'sentence moro

every libro of her hungry heart. "I
hopo to havo many moro such chats
with you. Good night. .Somo one's

Thus it was that within tho spaco of
half au hour, Nellie's heart had under
gone a recreation, and something like
tho old merriment crept into her bright
eyes Every day"brought a warmer
sunshine into her life, which was fast
chasing away tho shadow I hat darken

a strancer tho new operator. Try as
she would, she could not help associat

times their touchps upon tho key were

seeminqly indifferent tono :
"Did you over know 'B,' who work

"Know whom V clicked the instru

"Rob Price," replied Nellio with a
tremble upon tho last dot.
"Ha I Tho dunco who broke his

said the new operator.
"Certainly," retorted the Milldalo of
(ice, and Nellie began, to smooth her
brown hair and arrange tho p.ipers up
on her desk as if it were dawn instead
of twilight.
That night her dreams were trouble
some, and when the morning looked in
the window there were tears upon her
lashes. Sho mado a hasty toilet and
sauntered off to the oflice,'wishing that
a wreck would delay the early train.
She had just unlocked the door and
stood talking to little Jack, who was
caroling in his cage, when the train
whistled. The eugino pulled up slow
ly to tho platform, and Ned Owens
came bounding into the room, kissing
her until her cheeks were aglow with
blushes.
"Nell," he said, "I beg a thousand
pardons for abandoning you as I did,
but I havo a surprise for you," and
throwing the door wide open ho pre
sented to her the now operator Kobin

Thero he stood, with extended arms,
looking handsomer than ever, A'ith the

JNellio uttered a little shriek and fell
in his arms.

The Danger of Contagion in Throat
Troubles.
Tho medical editor ol Babyhood
writes : .A recent case within our
knowledge, in which fatal diphtheria
developed upon what had been behoved
to be a simple quinsy, suggests a few
words regarding the duty of isolating
any case of sore-throat where thero aro
other children in tho house. Without
entering upon any disputed points re
garding diphtheria, it is generally u
greed that tho distinctive, visible sign
of it is its peculiar membranous deposit.
A case may present cleatly tho condU
itons of a "common sore-throat," and
subsequently diphtheria be uumistak
ably present. For one purpose it is
unnecessary to discuss whether such
cases are diphtheritic; from the first, or
become so. Thu point for parents to
know is tho sequenco of dangerous
symptoms upon thoso apparently slight

for them to isolate a child hlty times
unnecessarily than to bo neglectful
once.
Wo would urge, thon, that if it is at
all possible, every child suffering from
sore throat bo isolated until it is dis
tinctiy convaiesooiit. rhysicians aro
often embarrassed, in urging tho iso
lation ot pationts, by the timidity iv
suspiciousness of parents. If in such
a caso ns lias neon described the phy

isolation, the family is of tho timid
type, is at once thrown into a panic

TKAT10N. CAUSES 01' EX
18T1NO DISCONTENT.
Tho President, on Thursday of last
week soul a message to Congress on
the subject of the labor troubles. The
message in full is as follows:
To the Senate and Housk ok IIei--keskntatives
: Tho Constitution im
poses on tho President tho duty of
recommending to tho consideration of
Congresi from timo to time such meas
ures as ho shall judgo necessary and
oxpedicnt. I nm so deeply impress,
ed with tho importance of immediately
and thoughtfully meeting tho problem
which rcceut events nnd a present con
dition hnve thrust upon us, involving
the settlement of disputes .arising be
tween our laboring men nnd their em
ployers, that I am" constrained to rec
ommend to Congiess legislation upon
this soriuus and pressing subject. Un
der our form of government tho value
of labor as an clement of national pros
perity should bo distinctly lecognized
and tho welfi.te of the laboring man
should bo regarded as especially enti
tled to legislative oire. In a country
which offers to all its citizens the high
est attainment of social and political
distinction in workmen cannot justly
or safely bo considered as irrevocably
consigned to the limits of a class and
entitled to no nttentiou and allowed no
protest against neglect. Tho laboring
man, bearing in his hand an indispens
able contribution tn our growth and
progress, may well insist, witli manly
courage and as a right, upon the same
recognition from those who make our
laws as is accorded to any other citizens
hiving a valuable interest in charge,
and Jus reasonable demand should be
me, in such a spirit of appreciation and
fairness as to induce a contented and
patriotic co-operation in the achivement
of a grand national destiny.
UNSATISKACTOItr KEI.ATIONS.
While the real interests of labor aro
not promoted by n resort to threats and
violent manifestations, and wliilo thoso
who under tho pretext of an advocacy
of the claims of labor, wantonly attack
tho rights of capital, and for selfish
purposes or the lovo of disorder sow
seeds of violence and discontent should
neither bo encouraged nor conciliated,
all legislation on tho subject should be
calmly and deliberately undertaken,
with no purpose of salUfying unreason
able demands or gaining partisan ad
vantage. The present condition of tho
relations between labor and capital aro
far from satisfactory. Tho discontent
of tho employed is due, in a largo de
gree, to tho grasping and needless ex
actions of employers and tho alleged
discrimination in favor of capital as an
object of governmental attention. It
must also be conceded that tho laboring
men are not always careful to avoid
causeless and unjustifiable disturbance.
Though the importance of a better
accord between these interests is ap
parent, it must bo borne in mind that
any effort in that direction by tho
Federal Government must be greatly
limited by Constitutional restrictions.
Thero are many grievances which legis
lation by Congress cannot redress and
many conditions which '-annot by such
means be reformed. I am satisfied,
however, that something may bo done
under Federal authority to prevent tho
disturbances which so often aviso from
dinputes between employers and tho
employed, and which at times serious
ly threaten the business interests of
tho country j and in my opinion the
proper theory upon which to proceed
is that of voluntary arbitration as the
means of settling these difficulties. But
I Buggost that instead of arbitrators
chosen in tho heat of conflicting claims
and after each dispute Bball arise, thero
bo created a Commission of Labor,
consisting of three members, who shall
bo regular officers of tho government,
oharged among other duties with tho
consideration and settlement, when
possible, of all conti overflies between
abor and capital.
A C0JI5IISSION WITHOUT 1I1AS.
A commission thus organized would
lave tho advantage of being a stablo
body and its members, as they gained
experience, would constantly" improvu
in UH.-H iiwimy iu iit'ai intelligently
nnd usefully with tho questions that
might bo submitted to them. Jf arbitra
tors aro chosen for temporary service
eaeli case ol diputo arises ex-
icrienco and familiarity with much
that is involved in the question will
bo lacking, extreme partisanship and
bias will be tho qualifications sought
on cither side and frequent complaints
of unfairness and partiality will bo in
evitable. Tho imposition upon a
hederal court of a duty foieign to the
udicinl function, ns the selection of
nn arbitrator in such cases, is at least
of doubtful propriety. The establish
ment by federal authority of such a
bureau would bo a just and sensible
.cognition of tho value of labor and
of its right to bo represented in the de
partments ot tlio government.
oo lar as its conciliatory oflices had
relation to disturbances which inter
fered with transit and commerco be
tween tho States, its existence would
bo justified under the provisions of tho
Constitution which gives to Congress
tho power "lo regulate commerco with
loreign nations and among tho several
States." And in tho frequent disputes
between tho laboring men nnd their
employers of less extent and tho con
sequences of which mo confined with
in otato limits and ihreateu domcstio
violence, tho interposition of such
commission might bo tendered, upon
uiu application 01 mo Legislature or
hxecmivo of a State, under tho eonsti
tutiotial provision winch requires tlio
General Government to "protect" oaeh
oi mo otates "against domestic vio
lenco."

If Biich a commission wero fairly or

In July, 1881, by a law of Congress,
a Bureau of Labor was established nnd
placed ! i charge of a Commifsioner of
Labor, who is required to "collect in
formation upon tho Bubject of labor,
its relations to capital, tho hours of
labor and tho earnings of laboring
men and women and the means of
promoting their material, social, in
tellectual and moral prosperity." Tho
commission which I suggest could
eaiily be engrafted upon the bureau
thin already organized by tho addition
of two more Commissioners and by
supplementing the duties now imposed
upon it by suoh powers nnd functions
ns would permit tlio Commissioners
to act ns arbitrators when necessary
between labor and capitnl under such
limitations and upon such occasions as
should bo deemed proper and useful.
Power should also be distinctly con
ferred upon this bureau to investigate
tho causes of all disputes as they occur,
whether submitted for arbitration or
not, so that information may always
be at hand to aid legislation on tho
subject when necessary and desirable.

The Hon, J, Pulitzer -Hard Luck of the
Poor Fellow as a Legislator.
Froinllie Atlanta Constitution.
Ex Governor Campbell of Missouri,
in a recent talk about the Hon. J, Pul
itzer, publisher of the World, said:
"I remember when Joo was elected
to tho Legislature, and also when ho
only lacked ono vote of being expelled
from that body. Pulitzer had within
a few years como up from the position
of a roustabout on a Mississippi steam
boat to a privnto watchman. Then ho
became a restaurant waiter, and wliilo
occupying that position ho formed tho
acquaintance of Carl Schurtz, who
mado him a reporter of his Wcstlicha
1'osl. In this way Pulitzer got somo
inlluor.co in one of tho German wards
and was elected to tho Legislature. It
was just at tlio timo that tho Demo
crats reclaimed tho State by electing
B. Graiz Brown Governor. Wheii
Pulitzer took his seat ho was about as
ordinary a looking individual as could
be seen anywhere. His nose looked
almost as big as his face. He immedi
ately became distinguished as tho
ugliest looking man who had ever oc
cupied a seat in our Legislature. Ho
was as awkward as ho was ugly, and in
consequence a great deal of fun was
mado of him. Every timo that he a
rose to speak ho was laughed at. Fi
nally one day no got into a dilliculty with
a country member over somo trifling
affair and a fight ensued. Tho fellow
got Pulitzer down and was beating
him about the head. Pulilzer in tho
mean time got out his revolver, and
taking cateful .aim, shot his assailant
through tho big top. The wounded
man was laid up for a day of two, and
Pulitzer was arrested. In tho conrso
of a week be was arranged by the Leg
islature to ehow cause why ho should
not be expelled. Finally a vote was
taken, and Pulitzer, who was very un
popular, had not a friend to defend him.
Over half the counties had been called
and only three more votes wero need
ed to expel him when I came in. Pul
itzer had a seat near me, and I noticed
tears in his eyes. I felt sorry for the
poor young man, and nlthough I had
urn a sngui acquaintance with mm. 1
proceeded to defend him. I addressed
tlie Speaker and told him I had been
absent when the caso was under con
sideration, and I demanded a recon
sideration, which was granted. Then
I mado a speech for the defence, in
which I claimed that Pulitzer had first
been assaulted, and being a very
young man, to expel him might blight
his prospects for life. Well, another
ote was taken nnd Pulitzer was ac
quitted. Ho came over to me, and,
putting his nrms around me, cried liko
a child. He said he would never for
get what I bad done for Jiim. for if ho
had been expelled he had mado up his
mind lo commit suicide. Well, ever
Binco tho fellow has always opposed
me politically."
