There is no.horror like the horror
of thirst —no phsyical suffering com
parable to it. A traveler over the
desert in Egypt describes a man who
had lost his way,wandered about for
days without water, and finally came
staggering into camp. The man’s
eyes were bloodshot,his lips swoolen
to twice their natural size and his
tongue —blue, parched and swollen,
hung out of his mouth. To allow
such a man to drink water at will
would be like pumping cold water
into a red hot steam boiler. It
would kill him. This man required
to be held forcibly by four men in
his eagerness to get a drink of water,
while a fifth man allowed a few
drops to trickle down the throat of
the sufferer at long intervals. He
had to be cooled off little by little
like an over-heated boiler. —Dis

NUMBER 25.
THE REFORMER
A vast deal of unhappiness
might be avoided if people -would
grasp the truth that marriage is nol
a reformatory institution. Much
also would he added to the sum of
human joy if Jwe would cease
using friendship as a means of im
proving our friends. Our affect
ions are too serious, too precious to
be degraded to the level of moral
purpose. To speed whatever pe
culiar gospel we may be burning
with may be a very noble business,
but plain love is good in itself, and
to sacrifice it on any altar, however
holy, is to destroy what everybody
and God knows is good for some
end about which doctors disagree.
Friends are to be prized for what
they are and not for what they are
not. The woman who does not
love her husband’s faults does not
love him, but some phantom of her
own creation. If I love you I do
not want you made over, revised
and amended to suit my notion of
what you ought to be; I want you
just as you are, and it is doubtful if
I can love you so much when you
get to heaven and lose your human
imperfections.
If we must do good to folks, if
we f eel it is our bounded duty to up
lift somebody and rescue the perish
ng, let us by all means spare our
oved ones and go out and uplift
some disagreeable people. And,
after all, when will we learn that
the mightiest influence we can exert
comes from what we do or say? If
yeu are anything you cannot keep
your friend from becoming like you.
And if you are not, why preach?
“What you are” said Emerson,
“talks so loud I cannot hear what
you say. —By Frank Crane.
SOU. RY. EMPLOYEES
GET RAISE IN WAGES
Washington, Nov. 14. —President
W. W. Finley of the Southern rail
road has authorized that several hun
dred clerical employees of that com
pany have been given an advance in
wages. The increase ranges front
5 per cent for employees who havi
been in the service but a short tirxit
to 15 per cent to those who have
seen five years or more service.
It affects all clerical employees
heretofore receiving S7O per month
or less.
Arrangements were completed
yesterday whereby the telegraph
operators will be granted the in
creases recently promised them.
The average increase to them will
amount to about 15 per cent which
means an additional outlay of about
$125,000 a year.
