He expected to work all his life,, and he. had no smothered ambi tions to "ride in a coaqh and six and be fed turtle soup and venison with a gold spoon." He- had no aspirations higher than to live decently -and com fortably with his jfamijly, aiid raise his children to be respectable, useful mem bers of society, as he had been". And he was willing to work—work as hard as need be that these worthy objects 'might be gained. There was nothing "dangerous" in the make-up of this man. "Law and order' had nothing to fear from "him— he would never protest against being robbed of the fruits of his labor, as long as an opportunity to toil was af forded him and enough was left him to provide humbly for his family. He had been raised on a little farm, anil had worked from the time he could toddle and distinguish weeds from cab bage plants. When he grew to be a big, hearty boy, the farm could scarce ly afford him and the other hearty boys growing up with him a chance to make a living. So he went away to the near est large town and worked at anythin he could find to do, until a friend pro cured him a steady job in the depot handling freight and baggage at forty dollars a month. He thought this jus tified him in marrying the girl he loved, the girl who worked in the boarding house at which he stayed, and who had shown that she was interested in him. So he asked her at the first opportunity and she gladly accepted both because she liked him and because she thought it would end the tedious drudgery of her life. Alas, it only theh begun. They were very happy in the unas suming two rooms of a tenement house where they first went to housekeeping. EJvalina—-for her mother had expressed the smothered romance of her nature in fantastical names for her children— put up her white muslin curtains, trained some vines and plants in the windows and bought from her savings a flowered carpet and one "easy chair," so that their little parlor, which was also a bedroom, was at first very neat and homelike. THE AVERAGE MAN, In a thrifty manner, Homer bought three town lots and some stone and lumber, paying something down, the rest to be made up in "easy payments" in the future, and started slowly to build a house. He did a great deal of the work himself before seven in the morning and after that hour in the evening, for his work kept him twelve hours every day, Sundays included. Railroads do not concern themselves about men's spiritual needs—they are only interested in their working capa city as human beings, citizens and brothers, corporations know them not— why should they when "they -are them selves "soulless?" Of course Homer hired some of the carpenter ?work union prices: .for it. ../His-- four-room hp^e£w^#sai Jf^^Onypleteff moved into it inside of" a year,4 and their first baby, was born there, This entailed extra expense and in this sec ond year he paid but very little on the debt he had incurred} and he barely managed to finish the house as he had planned. BY LIZZIE M. HOLMES. /done and paid, good Te third year his wages were in creased to fifty dollars a month. But another babycame and, be as saving as they could, their income was nearly eaten up with every-day expenses. He paid a small part of the principal During the third and fourth years his wife was sick a great deal and medicines and a doctor were necessary and so he barely managed, to .pay the interest and taxes on his little property. Anothey babr came which lived only a few weeks and meekly died as though apologizing for having troubled them for that short time. Its modest funeral absorbed the greater amount of their savings It looked as though there was small chance of his ever getting out of debt, but still he only determined to try the harder. All this time he had never had a day's rest. Vacations are for those whose hardest work is the cutting of coupons, for the highest paid desk employes—those who wear good clothes at their work every day. Day after day for twelve hours Homer Gray trundled heavy trunks and boxes and lifted great weights up and down, with out cessation. His once fine form grew angular, bent and awkward, and his once genial face that had been almost good-looking, became stolid, hard, dull. He was good to his wife and children in that he did the best he could for them and did not vent his weariness in irritability upon them1 but he was gen erally too tired at night to interest him self in their little affairs,, and the social enjoyment of the. family was-' very limited Time went on in the same monotonous toilsome manner, until there were five living children. The debt was very lit tle lessened the wife looked faded, .careworn, commonplace, and she never seemed to get her hands out of the soapsuds or dishwater, unless she were holding a baby. Her usual dress was a shabby print wrapper and her once soft, wavy hair, that had been her pride, was now pulled back in a tight little wad of dull dry wisps at the back. of her head. She devoted her whole life to the care of her children and- :her house in the most approved* manner, and she should have been appreciated and praised, but very little of either did the poor woman ever know. The two had agreed that as long as they co.uld work they-, would- rnever put their little ones out to _worjr'But that they should .go 'fp ^i^Pf^tffr^^ieir minds were fairly well inidrmeife and their bodies well developed.

Amusements were tabooed entirely, no books or pa pers were bought, no toys or playthings were allowed that cost anything, and Christmas, Thanksgiving and birthdays were dull, empty, disappointing times. The children wore old. patched, faded clothes to school and were objects of ridicule—a species of torture to sensi tive children that ought to condemn poverty if nothing else could. Mrs. Gray never had at any one time enough decent articles to dress to appear on the street the children did all the er rands and paid all her social visits—it was seldohi remembered, after a while outside her- own home,, that there was such a person. If her .calico gown was whole, her Shoes were broken and let her feet onto-the ground. If she could boast a good pair of -shoes, she had nothing bd.tL'§:-little shawl to wear on her head. Often the children were in the same condition. One winter the two girls attended "school alternately, one in the forenoon and the other in the afternoon, and the same dress and pair, of shoes answered for both. time ip^/ne™ ^her "out-of school, 'and the parents' ^ere 'senslbie enough -to refuse'the"* offers to niake Their food was coarse, though sub stantial, and the children scarcely knew the taste of candy, fruit or niits they were glad if there was enough of any- I vide them by all the number of people thing to go around so that no one was who' must live by labor, we must ac stinted. They had managed to build a little addition after the last child was born, so that they might have room to turn around in, but the house was all very poorly furnished. The first carpet still adorned the "front room," faded beyond recognition of any pattern and ^darned in a hundred places. A worn sofa occupied one corner of the room, an old stand covered with a dim, ugly yellow cloth stood in another on this were the lamp, a Bible and a photo graph album that one of her old girl hood friends had given Mrs. Gray. A few cheap pictures decorated the plas tered walls, and the thin, yellowed cur tains put up the first year still switched about the windows, soiled and twisted by little fingers until they looked like strings. Sometimes the windows were whole, sometimes they were not the only other furniture was the plainest of tables and chairs, eked out with pine boxes and old barrels. The father, husband and provider had toiled like a slave for twelve .years when" nature -wreake~d®her vengeance on him and made him., rest whether he would,or no. He was taken down with typhoid fever and for six weeks lay in bed, raving, babbling, tossing wildly about, while his alpeady-over-burdened wife nursed him, and the children in awed silent rj^p't kbbujf' dpiing' the "work that was absolutelyntecessary.

Still, poor* Homer* 8fray' enjoyed' the happiest, most peaceful time of his life in the tw'0 j&eeks "when, iqnValencent but not yet aroused to the cares and anxieties of this "hard life, tenderly waited upon by wife and children, he unquestidningly accepted his first "va cation' witfeu the trust and delight of a child. But -as soon as he was pronounced well enough to work he was back at his old place again, toiling twelve hours a day with no Sundays and no holidays. The old, dull: routine went on, -.the-old grind which reduced flesh and blood and intelligence into waste refuse, con tinued. It went on fbr several years more, until his old,est daughter was twenty and married to a young carpen ter who took her to .a modest little home of his own. The oldest boy went West to try his chances on a cattle farm some one had recommended him to a big owner out there, and the boy was eager to go. The next child, a girl, secured a place in a milinery store, where, she could learn the trade and earn a little money for herself. She had received all the education her dis trict school afforded and could scarcely expect more for one in "her station in life." The two younger children were sturdy fellows, still going |o school, but able to help father and mother a great deaL The debt was. nearer being paid off than ever before. It looked now as though "the old folks"—as yet scarcely forty-five years old—might enjoy a lit tle comfort and freedom from the old carking cares that had. weighted down all their lives.. At last ever cent ^as-paid, the mort gage yielded' u£" ancl. fte^stroyed. Mr. Gray asked for a .holiday for the first time in his life. He invited his married daughter and her hixsband to a good dinner and he. sat .among his family trying tp.,4^r^aj^antj^r But the habit of years w^sti'diigtSipon him. When he would have smiled, he lapsed into absent-minded' reveries he essayed to tell some old, half-forgotten stories, but never finished them, and frequently started up sayihg he "must get back to work," only. tossmill pathetically and say he "forgot." B«t. they were re joiced to see' "father* relaxing, even this much and sitting about with nothing to do. So the day #as nearly a success after all. The man began to dream of better days.- He .imagined the deep enjoy ment there would be in getting a whole new suit of. clothes at once that he -did not have to wear to the freight house immediately. He imagined moth er in a new shiny, black alpaca dress, new gloves,, bonnet and shoes, all at the same time, -and he thought of having a good meat dinner every Sunday \yith some one i^vit^d i^ to share it. Mayhe after a while they could, buy a new^ carpet and a few easy chairs and fix up the house a-little, that Miranda should not be" "ashan^ed to come ,home and visit them, Maryj Jane might have her young company, withoutvbeing em barrassed wTtfi _the» poverty-gtrick^n looks of jier 'bome,Vai»&> the younger| men—men able' to keep up with the times, men always on the alert, for the American dollar is turned mighty gui'ckly and men, women and little' chil dren must keep on the jump to catch it. One day he was called up, talked to very suavely and flatteringly, paid a little more than his wages amounted to and given a long "lay off." Now he could rest—rest all he liked. But that life-long phantom, that hide ous specter that had haunted his foot steps all his days, thathad hung over him like a black shadow whatever he was doing, was never to leave him. In a world of plenty he was to be for ever poor! He had helped to heap up riches, he had furthered the interests of commerce, transportation, travel, he' had assisted thousands of people to en joyable, profitable trips, he had per formed an inestimable amount of hard labor that society could not have dis pensed with. The world was richer than ever before and yet he was to struggle under the burden of poverty all his days. Not because the world was poor or empty, not because he had squandered his earnings, not because he. had been idle or drunken or extrava gant society had barely rendered him enough of labor's productions to keep him and his family while working now he was laid aside as worthless, his com panions, -poverty, loneliness, the sense of defeat and of uselessness "so hard for the old to bear. And he is only one of many. He is not the poorest, the most unfortunate. He had lost no time in his prime "hunt ing work." He is an "average man." When we add up the salaries of the best-paid agents, clerks and managers with those of the poorer-paid, and di- knowledge many working men are much worse off. What a travesty on justice, our boasted civilization presents! AN ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO BREAK STRIKE New York Employing Builders Use Non-Union Labor On Contracts. Will NEW YORK, July 27—The board of governors of the Building Trades Em ployers' association today ordered all members of the association to start, work on buildings at once, using any housesmith hoisting engineers ana shorers who would individually sign their plan of arbitration. This means that work will be started on the larger part of the building oper ations throughout the city and that men will be employed on them irre spective of whether they are union or not. The members of the Employers' asso ciation are confident that with this step the end of the building tie-up is well in sight and that no difficulty will be experienced in obtaining men. After the meeting of the United Board of Building Trades in Brewoort hall to day Samuel Parks said: "The housesmiths are all together and will stay together without any plan of arbitration."
