FARMER SMITH'S
THE -ART OP STICKING TO IT
Dear Children Ono of tho charms of childhood is its changeablcness.
When mother wants you to wash dishes, or father to chop wood, it seems
impossible for you to stick to it.
In early life, wo want to bo on tho go; while in tho sunset of life, we
prefer to sit by the fireside and not bo disturbed. Youth cries for action
and change.
Realizing this, tho schools are kind enough to give you a long vacation.
Not only this, but those who ore wiser than you and me have decided that
it is best for you to be idlo on Saturdays. Not only do you have two days in
every week, but you have about thrco months during the summertime in
which to be idle.
When your mother and father eive vou work to do that takes a loner
time, maybe they will give a "vacation"
k iiit. i ii t j. l. .
i limo ramauon gives ircsn energy xo ao Deiior worK.
If you, little boy, get tired chopping wood, remember that, great men
like Gladstone have found a great deal of pleasure and profit in chopping
wood.
If you, little girl, do not like to wash dishes, why not "play" that the
dainty little butter dishes are SUBMARINES going down underneath to
explode the saucepans and kettles.
If you would expend the same energy in doing your work that you do
in trying to get out of doing it, tho task would soon beaccomplished.

CHAPTER III
Monto Gots Fired
ALL success begins with a plan. No
2 plan can succeed that Is not based
upon facts, their value and their true
relationship. Each day slnco his return
from Europe Monto Crispen liad been
acquiring new data. He wns feverishly
hunting for tho Wisdom of others. More
than onco ho thought of splendid young
Englishmen whom ho had played with
nt polo, golf nnd other sports In the
nun-kissed outdoors of "Tho IUviera";
men who should havo been In Shemeld,
Bradford and Manchester, holding tho
placo of their country In tho arena of
trado against ambitious rivals of other
countries.
Monto conceded that the great indus
trial enterprises of his undo wore the
massed accumulations of a strong man
who refused to bend beforo tho growing
complexities of modern business; a man
who firmly boltoved that a capitalist
had a right to do anything with labor
so long as ho kept his capital working;
a man wholly upright In private llfo,
yet who always put ""expediency nnd
lawyer-law above justlco when consid
ering problems affecting labor.
John Montgomery had never been a
hard man. Ho had been a rulo-oMhumb
man, who had left out of his calculations
the human side of business. Labor to
him had been that nnd no more labor.
Capital was tho same Just capital. Two
hard, grinding surfaces, labor and cap
ital that rubbed well together produced
a grist, profit; in turn, profit to become
capital. Around every circle- ho saw
another to bo drawn, nn endless process
patterned after tho planet system. Ea,ch
now enterprise was a fresh planet
ringed.
Marshall Field, as he advanced in
years, drew into his business tho bright
est brains that his money could com
mand, nnd used their Judgments in
forming his own; their initiative in keep
ing him abreast of tho times. Old Mont
gomery had dominated alone, and ho
had become so engrossed In tho creation
of new circles of personal control that
at his death nearly all of his great enter
prises had themselves boon passed by
new conditions.
, Honco It came that Monte found his
unclo'a estate cradled an Iron works
full of obsoleto processes, textile mills
with narrow looms only nnd much non
saffety, nntiquated machlnory and a
shipyard rapidly falling into decay.

While the executives In tho various
Montgomery plants wero generally prac
tical; thoy had won tiielr promotion by
tho calendar and time clock, and had
been whipped by environment Into nar

worshiping views:- Distribution wai

tho wholo managemtit of sales as. well
as employment was archaic, e!o no
crook like Lemuel Blrdsoyo could have
risen to high authority. Of his thefts
and suicide wo have read. Only a few
of tho executives wero scientific nnd
hold advanced, progressive views, llko
Summers, tho iron works boss.
As Monto walked through tho Ken
sington mill district a fow weeks after
tho death of Jennto Reed his responsi
bilities to mankind loomed In tho pro
portions of a tremendous undertaking.
Ho was over groping for facts. If ho
was to defeat tho labor plots of that
dastardly scoundrel, Horr Hugo Hoch
molnter, alias Major Gustavo Slgvay,
alias Sonor Enrlquo Velasquez, who had
engineered tho bombing of tho Mont
gomery' Iron Works and lured Blrdsoyo
to destruction, ho must first get a firm
grip upon underlying conditions nt tho
Crispen Toxtlle Mills.
Sovernl Intlmato talks with Unity
Marley and her big brother Strong had
brought Monto to a realization that,
aside from tho immediate menace nf the
Slgvaygangand their diabolical scheme-i,
thero was other Important work for him
to do. Ho saw that unless ho attained
supreme mastery of the great human
principles governing production today,
bo as tcrecast his uncle's enterprises In
the mold of tho new Industrial cm, thoy
would simply dry up nnd becomo breed
ing spots for socialism nnd chaos.
Blanchard, tho mill boss, had been
sullen and gloomy from tho morning
Craig-Andrews, tho lawyer, as executor
of tho Montgomery cstnte, ordered tho
disuso of the old-fashioned shuttles In
tho weave rooms of tho woolen and
worsted mill, tho carpet mill and tho
loco mill. Ho had openly sneered behind
Andrews' back when Informed that only
han.d-threaded shuttles would ho used
hereafter In tho mills. Blanchard was a
thin gray man with a cruel mouth. Ho
had risen from band-boy In tho spinning
department, nnd tho higher he went In
authority the less considerato'of former
associates ho became. How ofton tho
case!
"I'd llko to know what in hell has got
Into Andrews," was his surly greeting
to Monte, when our young multlmilllon-

Willie Wideawake's Eyes
"I have a good notion to gluo my oyes
together and seo If it will not mako me go
to sleep," said Wllllo Wideawake one
night when ho Just couldn't go to sloep
there wns no use talking.
"That will do no good, for you can lie
awako when your eyea are shut. You are
a funny fellow to think that your eyes
hava anything to do with your going to
sleep. You simply get sleepy nnd your
eyes go shut pop! Just liko that, and
your arms fall by your side." It was a
voice beside him which Wlllio know was
the Good Dream Fairy.
"But but please. Good Dream Fairy,
J hava such a hard time going to sleep.
I try and try. and hee It is half-past
well. It's very late and I am not asleep
yet." Willie yawned and the pillow al
most fell in his mouth. "Look outi"
shouted the Good Dream Fairy.
"See how quickly your dear little eyes
shut? Thera Is nothing more wonderful
In tho whole wide world than your tiny
eyes. Your eyolid keeps the light out so
that you may go to sleep, and it opens In
the morning when there Is nothing else
for you to do but get up. But most Im
portant of all, your eyelid keeps the bull
of your eye moist, so that It will not
scratch Think about these things when
you can't go to sleep and It will be much
better than thinking of a lot of traBh."
The Good Dream Fairy turned her beautl
ful eyes upon Willie a'nd he thought ho
had never seen such eyes before.
"What beautiful eyes you have "
"You may think so, but I tell you that
my oyes or your eyes without the lashes,
without their surrounding would not be
more beautiful than Is a fish's eyes"
The Good Dream Fairy was spreading her
wings and malting ready to fly away, when
Willie heard a loud noise, and, looking up,
he Baw his mother entering the room.
"Why, mother dear, I have not been
asleep yet," sajd Willie In great surpriso.
, 'That Is too bad," began his mother.

And then his mother did a very beauti

Jimmy's Reward
By EDWARD WHITE, Hermitage St, -Onoe
there was a little boy who was
poor, but very honest. His mother was
dead, and to save his soul he could not tell
where his father was, so he had to sell
papers for a living. One day a rich man
came by and asked tor a paper,
Jimmy (or that was the boy's name)
gave him an Evening Ledoeb, The rich
man handed Jimmy a quarter and then
Jumped on a car and In .a second was
gone. Jimmy stood spellbound, looking
at the quarter, and was wondering who
the rich man was when suddenly he spied
a card which he saw the rich man drop,
He ran over and picked it up, and then
looked at it. "James Drennan, a 5th
avenue. New York," waB on the card.
Jimmy knew exactly where that was, so
he Jumped on a trolley car and in a few
minutes was standing In front of the
door, lie rang the bell and a maid came
to the door. "la Mr, Drennan here?"
asked Jimmy.
"Yes, come in," said the maid,
Jimmy walked in and was amaied to
And that his feet sunk In the carpet at
eyery step. In a few minutes Mr. Dren
nan came In and Jimmy handed him t
cents in change.
"What's this?" said Mr Drennan.
"You gave me a quarter and I thought
I would bring you the change," answered
JUnmy.
"Never mind ; keep the change, and. as
a mark of my esteem for your honesty i
will present you with, a check.' He handed
Jimmy b, check for 100 and told him to
come tomorrow. Jimmy went the next
day and the, man bought him a new suit
ot clothes and gave him a position In his
office.

walk, had thrown off his street garb nnd
appeared In Blnncliard's prlvato oftlce.
"What's the trouble?" said Monte, un
ruffled, bocomo accustomed to such out
bursts from tho mill boss.
"Ho wants mo to Bet up a full report
upon machinery Bnfefiiiards. TIicbo
safety-first frills r!vo mo n pain. Damn
nonsense! Next thtiiR you know An
drews will want mo to lock up tho mill
machinery In tho ollluJ safo nnd produco
tho fabric through the combination."
It was n rough joke, nnd Monto did
not Inugh nt tho wit. For nn instant ho
forgot himself and tho rolo ho was play
ing. Tho coarso remark sont an ex
pression of hli truo feelings along his
brow In nn unmistakable scowl. Blan
chard saw tho furrows and broke Into a
tempest of words.
"If this nagging from downtown keeps
up I am going to quit tho Ulg Four,"
ho snorted.
Tho Crlspere mills wero locally known
as tho Big Four for the reason that
under soparnto roofs they embraced four
branches of textile manufacture, wool
ens and worsteds, carpets, laces and knit
goods. Each branch had n sopnrato
superintendent, but all four wero under
tho direction of Blanchard, who stormed
on:
"Things havo como to a pretty rotten
pass In tho countiy when legislatures
nnd society women tell us mill bosses
how to treat our hands. I am agnlnHt
nil this fancy rSgulatlon worklngmen's
compensation, child labor regulation,
shorter hours of employment. Tomfool
ory! It nln't constitutional and It puts
crazy ideas In tho workers' heads!"
"Yet the majority of tho big mill own
ers favor those reforms and say thoy
aro wiso, humane nnd will ultimately
stlmulato production," protested Monte.
It wns out of his mouth before ho re
flected that It was his first frank ex
pression of an eplnlon In tho presence
of tho garrulous mill boss.
"A lot of sniveling weak sisters, I
call them," roared Blnnchnrd. "If the
last mill owner In Kensington knuckled
I would still stick to my principles."
"How do you make them out prin
ciples?" insisted Monte, and so annoyed
was he at tho case-hardened egotism of
tho man ho added: "I should call them
prejudices."
Blanchard squared around on him. Ho
said:
"You and me might as well under
stand each other now. Ever slnco you
poked your amateur noso and banjo
oyed goggles into tho Big Four thero
has been nothing but kicks from down
town. I havo my opinion of sneaks,

and if you wnnt to get nasty I would
ndviso you to savo It up for him."
"Lot mo finish beforo you chip In your

"But," began Monto, regaining con
trol of his temper at thought of the In
tense humor of tho situation.
"No btits go In this ofllce," bawled
Blanchard. "You butted In, now you
butt out. Off tho premises or I will
call tho gate watchman nnd have you
thrown Into the street."
CHAPTER IV
Think, Then Act
I'unntor things havo happened per
haps In books, thought Monto Crispen
that night, but never beforo had a cir
cumstance so rich in humor occurred
In real life. Ho was sure of that. Fired!
Of course, ho might have torn asido
his mask as "Mr. Taller, business ex
pert," revealed himself nu Crispen, the
heir, and shaiply turned tho tables on
BlaiSchard, tho wrong-headed mill boss.
But such a triumph would havo been
a temporary ono only, and measured
dofeat to the whole purposo of his com
ing disguised to tho Konslngton dls-i'
trict.
Loakldk back nt events of tho duy,
Monto marveledat his own sang-froid
when Blanchard threatened to sum
mon tho gatemen and havo him fed
to the cobblestones. Ho complacently
approved of the grand air with which
he had bowed low at the sputtering mill
boss, and then walked out of tho build

Blanchard's loud, penny-wise outgiv

eara of tho mill operatives, weavers
and perchers, handers-ln nnd beamers,
speckers and doffer&, pickers and mixers,
loom fixers and the twoscoro other clas
sifications of textlto skill. It tickled his
vanity to feci that his borrowed person
ality even now was saturated In their
good wills, particularly when It was at
the expenso of "Itule-of-thumb Blanch
ard." Crispen had learned to capital
ize overy little advantage, and the longer
ho lived the more interesting a placo
tho world seemed to bo. IIo could bo
subtle, too, when on occasion demanded.
Fearing that Andrews might let tho
cat out of tho bag, his first act on
leaving the Big Four was to rush Lars
In tho bltio limousine with a note, to
the lawyer, reciting tho Incidents of
tho morning, concluding: "Now bo care
ful nnd don't split tho beans. Give
Blanchard all tho ropo ho will take.
Don't worry about mo. Tho going Is
