MORNING ENTERPRISE. FRIDAY,' SEPTEMBER 120, 1011. i THE Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A.. NYE CHILD SLAVERY Alma Whaley of Cbattuuooiju. Tenn. drank one and one-half drum of car bollc acid to aD attempt to eud tier Ufe. but was saved by tbe physicians. Why a suicide at fourteen? The girl revealed tbe fact that she with several of ber fellow workers lu a factory bad entered Into suicide pact, preferring to die ratber tliaD work In tbe mills. Listen to tbe cbild: "We all wanted to die at our 'frame We go to work at 0 In tbe morning and work until 6 at nlgbL We have no time to play. Little Bertbu rries and aays she would ratber be dead than alive So we made up our minds we would die." What a tragedy of childhood! Without tbe power 'of self analysis these children did not fully realize per haps that under the depressing and monotonous labors of tbe mill both their bodies and brains were being stunted, but they did realize they were miserable. They did realize tbey were being cheated of tfceir birthright the right of self development tbe right to educa tion, to recreation, to play. Tbey did realize that because of tbe long and grinding bours of labor in the Insanitary factory with Its nerve racking noises they were losing tb best years of their lives. Their parents 7 It Is sorrowful to record that In many cases of this character tbe par ents are to blame, dividing with tb greedy mill operators the responsibil ity for conditions as tbey are. "But," say certain legislators "I worked on the farm as a child when I bad to reach up for the plow ATTHE END OF THE CAMPAIGN.

It Is good for children that they should work." Xes, but working In the open air and snnllgbt Is one thing; working In tbe dust and grime of a stifling mill at mosphere is quite another. We are proud of the fact that we are a working people. Nearly all our great men aa boys were poor and worked bard. But none of tbem worked under tbe conditions of our modern child slaves- in a stifling factory, or at opening tbe gates of the dark mine, or standing over the "breakers." labors that change boys and girls prematurely into old men and women, ground by sordid greed into human waste. There is more than one sort of wblte slavery. Alma Wbaley preached a powerful sermon against child labor wben she told bow these miserables preferred death. rntrty ninos or Mini A few years ago Dr. Nyrop. a Dan ish university professor, wrote a wbole volume about kbwlng. Be noted that while even tbe stern Bo mans bad three words for a kiss, ac cording to tbe nature of tbe salute oscula, basla ' and suavla the senti mental English have one term for every sort of kiss. The Germans have over thirty different styles of kisses recognized by and entered in tbelr dictionaries. As it is. most people can get along with kissing In tbe siugular number, but lovers may note tbe Ger man word '"nacb kussen." which means making up for kisses which have been missed through absence. A Nose For Snuff. Tbe Scotch are great users of snuff, it was a Scotchman who once, asked a big nosed stranger if be took snuff and. receiving a negative reply, remarked: "What a pity! You have such a grand accommodation." PERPETRATED BY WAIT Ac DOUGALL : ' I ' " RODE. PREFER TEAM WORKERS . v 10 RECORD HOLDERS. A ball team is not helped by players who have In mind their Individual rec ords and overlook tbe welfare of tbelr team, sit is because John McGraw dis courages such tactics that his team has been a success tbts season. Tbe same Is true of tbe Cubs and tbe Athletics. Ball players to be valuable to a team peed not have remarkable records. They need not b leaders, but if tbey work for the best interests of their team they bring about desired results. Unfortunately, the player who works for his team does not always get the credit he deserves, while the chap who Is oat to make a record for himself fre quently receives applause which he bould not be given. GREGG IS PITCHING DISCOVERY Cleveland Pitcher Regarded Worthy Successor to Addio Jots. Vean Gregg is the great pitching discovery of tbe season in tbe Ameri can league, baseball fans say. Tbls youthful portsider came In tbe nick of time to keep the Cleveland club on the baseball map. He Is a worthy suc cessor of Addie Joss as the premier pitcher of the Buckeye metropolis. There is no denying tbe coming of Gregg has wade a pennant possibility of the Cleveland club-in 1012. Xo club could go through the series of disasters that has befallen the Naps In this year of grate and survive to enter tbe fray as a contender for the bunting. Nearly every great player of the Naps' galaxy of stars bas been out of the game for various periods. At one time this season Lajoie, Jack son, Turner, Birmingham and Easter ly were forced from the game, and a makeshift team was necessary. Mrs. Frank Kendall of Portland visited Oregon City friends and rela tives Wednesday. "c ;t ;, ' CE.T5 A pp.EA8FUL$HQCrS Nine and Teii The Prink of a Pair of Twins By CLARISSA MACKIE Copyright by American Pr" Ao elation, 1911. 6. Tbelr nanirti were Xlnu and Chris tlun, but for miles around their home on the West creek turkey farm they were known as Nine and Ten. The Mason twins were never fnr opart. As little girl their pink itmihoiinetcd beads bobbed In harmonious compan ionship over the rolling farm acres. The Mason twins were very beauti ful to look upon, oud they were so similar in face and form that eveu their own father. Capialu Dod Mason, couldn't tell them apart. They were sweet tempered, merry hearted girls, and they bad never lacked for admir ers, who let! a most unhappy existence, for It amused the Masou twins to chango characters and punle their prospective lovers almost Into Imbe cility with their pranks. But Cupid had beeu playing pranks with the twins themselves, and today Nine and Ten. busied with Jbe work of their motherless home, were silent and distrait Suddenly Nine spoke, her back turned to hor sister, as she reached Into the china closet: "Ten." she began, faltering. "Yes." replied Ten In the same sort of voice. "Are you-are you engaged to Jack NIckerson?" There was a little silence while Ten shook her duster out of the window. Then "How did you guess?" she asked In a low tone that tried to be gay. "Oh. I thought so. that's all. I may as well tell you that I promised to marry Linn last night." Nine's voice sounded trngically hollow from tbe depths of the closet Into which she persistently burrowed. "Ohl" Ten cried sharply, and then she left the room. Nine heard her run "HI'S TUB BKST ribLO IN THM WORLD ' hastily up tbe stairs to her own room, listened to ber light tread across the floor and then silence. Nine withdrew ber bead and looked miserably around the sunshiny room. "I don't see what hi tbe matter with her," she murmured.- "If she's engag ed to marry Linn she ought to be the happiest girl in the world-Just fancyT' Captain L)od Mason and bis two partners. Linn Oswald and Jack Nick erson, had been riding around tbe ranges taking count of tbe (locks of turkeys. It was tbe shipping season, and soon the hnndsome bronze birds would be corralled and protestlngly ex ecuted and bustled Into tbe cold stor age cars that even now awaited their coming on the spur tracks at Pento. "My appetite tells me It's nearing dinner time, boys." said the cnptnln genially as they concluded their con ference. "If you can manage to get that last flock of gobblers out of that roost In the cottonwoods I'll telephone down to I'ento for the gang to come up in the morning, and we'll start things fdlng. Coming to the house now?" "I'll be nlong presently." remarked Linn gloomily. 'IGness I'll take an other look at those chaps In the cot tonwoods." "Same here." added Jack Nlckerson laconically, and together In moody si lence they watched the captain's ro tund figure riding easily across the ranges, his hore gracefully rising over every split rail fence that Impeded bis progress. "Fine old boy." said Linn, with a heavy sigh. "Best ever-I say. Linn"- Jack's voice had lost Its customary tone of assurance. lie spoke almost shyly. "Fire ahead." encouraged Linn reck lessly, as If he knew what his com panion was going to Ssy and wanted to get It over with. "I'm engaged to marry Ten Mason." blurted Jack suddenly. 'Then yon ought to be tbe happiest man In the world." nttered Linn grave ly as he held out his hand. "Ilappler than the man who marries Nine?" demanded Jack Jealously. "Who told yooT Linn stared at him. "Our National Bouquet" Floral map of the United States.

"That I was engaged to marry Nln," "I didn't know (hat you wero en garcd lo her," said Jack shortly. "Con-grutiilmltins-and nil that, you know!" "Tlt..iiUH," said I .In it ilryly. "tiolim to ride tlowu to (he cottonwoods?" They turned tltclr horses ninl trotted slowly across (he crisp pasture In ml It was a froHtr November day, anil tbe tang of nppmiicliliig winter was In the air. When they drew neat' the cotton woods tbey heard the raucous gntut bllngs of the mnmmoth gobblers that were the pride of the ranch. P.v mutual assent I.lr.n rode around to (ho south side of the little thicket while Jack protected (ho eastern wnj of escaHt. With a loud yell and a thunder of hoofs .Inn raced through the thicket, driving the wandering birds before him. It would have worked all right, only tho biggest gobbler of nil and the lender of tho flock lifted his huge spread of wings and flew up Into the lower branches of tho nearest tree, and aooa be was followed by the en tire flock of fifty, whose bulk darkened the sparsely clothed trees and bung, n menacing force, over (ha Irate driver's bead. "Let 'em slay, then," said Linn cross ly. "We can get 'em after dinner. What do you say?" "Suits me." snld Jack, aud together tbey rbde silently back to tbe farmhouse,- whtr Nine and Ton were superintending the placing of tbe din ner on tbe table. Nine was very pale, and her ryes were bright and sparkling, always a sign thnt things were going wrong with her. Ten's eyes looked lis If she had been crying. It was a silent meal; there ys universal embarrassment, and eveu Captain Pod. absorled In his dinner, noted the silence. "What's tho mntter?" he called bluff ly. "Everybody In the doldrums? Next time you folks ride ten miles to a moving picture show at I'ento you better see something to Inugb at'; Didn't anything funny happen last night? "Well, what's the news?" be went on sardonically. "Anything - gone wrong? I've been approached by two young men and two young women tbls morning, and they've broke the news to me that they're all engagetl to mnrry each other. I took It rnlmly. for there Isn't a better pair of young chaps In the world than my two part nersnot n word, boys and If I've got to give them' twins away I'd rath er give them to you two. but" He glared around at them once moro and continued: ."Somebody bad made a mistake, and till It's found out I with draw my consent, and I declare every one of yoti disengaged! Understand?" Without waiting for a reply Captain Dod arose with dignity, and. grasping bis plate of pudding In one hand and the pitcher of maple sirup In the other, he retired to tbe little room that served blm as an office. Silence still reigned at the tablo, but It was a relieved silence. Suddeuly Linn excused himself and departed. Jack followed suit, and there remained do one but the twins staring deject edly into their puddings. AH at once Nine spoke resentfully: "I think you've trented Jack horridly. Ten Mason, so there! He's the beat fellow In tbe world and you can't ap preciate him." Ten lifted her drooping bead and fared ber sister. "Humph!" she flared scornfully. "Jack Nlckerson can't ! compared with Linn Oswald." Tbe twins arose and stared at ench other across the table, then all at once tbey rau around and fell Into each other's arms with little startled cries of understanding. Out on the ranges Linn and Jack were riding back to the cottonwood clump. In their bands were long raw hide whips. Both were whistling mer rily, and. while their eyes were evasive, eacb one seemed conscious of the other's rising spirits. Suddenly Jack became sunk in 'gloom. He spoke rasplngly: "Your hilarity over your release Is not very complimentary to Nine." "Neither Is your's complimentary to Ten." flared Linn. A half hour later Nine and Ten walked demurely across tbe ranges, sent thither by their father with a message to his partners. When the twins reachpd the south ern confines of the Inst field there charged uHni them a furious flock of bronze gobblers, heads down and heavy wings beating the ground. Close behind them raced Jack and I.Itiii. their eyes tenderly anxious of the ap proaching twins, their mouths hard set with determination. The twins hud played tbelr last prank. They must be made to publicly acknowledge their foolishness. For an Instant the girls were rooted to tbe ground In terror. Forgotten were tbelr father's Instructions of how to circumvent the angry turkeys when the succulent but testy bird went on the rampage. The two pairs of blue eyes saw nothing save the approach ing brown army and behind them the forms of the men they loved. All at once Nine's feet frjimd wings, and she darted to the right and toward Jack Nlckerson, while to the left Ten swerved and. skirting the rushing flock, forgot everything save that Linn Oswald was there. "Jack. Jack!" cried Nine. "Linn, Linn!" screamed Ten. "nere!" shouted the two men In cho. rus as tbey leaned down and each lift ed his ladylove from Impending danger. At supper Captain Dod beamed upon their contented faces "Rngriged again?" be asked cheerfully. "Hum! Itlght side n round now. I bope!J "Oh. yes, indeed:" they all chorused, and tbe voices of the twins were most emphatic Takes His Pick. Apropos of foolish questions, this story is told of a Titian haired son of the old "Bod" who was working in a ditch.
