With one the struggle is gat an end. at least for awhile. With others it yet continues to wring the heart and torture the brain. Two cases come to mind. There is a little man in Toronto. who drops in to see us oc- casionally, generally with a compli- ment. As he prepares to leave he will ask perhaps for a car ticket or a half dollar. and 9Ice winces as he does it. for he feels it as one more wrench of his self respect. This is a man who Ihas had wider experience in travel and Egenerally a more adventurous career éthan. we suppose. three out of a thou- ;sand readers He is a master mariner. {full of the lore of the sea and the skies, ‘and has it ritten a book which has been well received in England.

One not versed in Isueh matters would be excused for sup- !posing that the piofits of this book 5migil'ot “ell hale kept the author in comfort for a year, and have added substantially to his income for a long time to come. We doubt if he has re- ceived a hundred dollars for it. We also doubt if he earns a dollar a day, though he seems to be indefatigible in trying to turn to account the unusual experi- ences he has had in the far corners of the earth by writing and lecturing when opportunity presents itself. A Miracle of Self-Support We do not know this man well en- ough to guess whether any weakness of his own had brought «him low. We feel it would be an impertinence to sug- gest it. Obviously a clean living. cheer- ful, courageous fellow he goes about the [street missing many a meal we sup- pose. and pondering how or when he will be able to save the $50 necessary to bring his wife home from a prolong- ed visit in another province, and pay his daughter's fare to Montreal where she believes she can support herself. He would as soon walk naked in the street as present himself at the House of In- dustry for food. We turn now to a woman whose husband died a few months ago and who considers herself lucky to have got a job as general ser- vant at $20 a month. She maintains her own room for which she pays some- thing more than $3 a week. and to save icarfare she walks a mile every mom- ing and another mile every evening to and from work' To those who say it 513 impossible. we retort that she does iit. and finds her chief problem in won- Idering whether s‘he will be able to save tenough money for a new pair of shoes :before her old shoes fall apart. We are loath to say a word which might suggest that we do not sympa- thize deeply with those who have been forced, through no fault of their own. to accept public relief. But we do think there is another class in the com- munity to whom equal sympathy might be extended. We speak of those who are yet self-supporting but are living in many cases less comfortably than those on relief, and to whom every day is a struggle to maintain their footing We Remember Her Whenâ€" We remember her seven 0:- eight years ago. Her husband was then liv- ing and earning probably between $10,- 000 and $15,000 a year. They had two cars, and lived in a. district of the city By J. A. McAree THE DURHAM CHRONICLE tions. She had earned her living be- fore mazriage. and marriage had made ier an extremely competent cook and .ousewife. Nevertheless. she was in ompetition with a thousand other wo- nen just as well qualified for any of the hundred positions that had to be apportioned among them. Gradually her personal belongings were sold or pawned. She has clung to a room of her own, perhaps thinking that this somehow is a kind of life-buoy and helps keep her out of the domestic ser- vant class, though she is absolutely without false pride. She talks to her friends frankly about her job and does not pretend that she is merely the com- panion of a lady, for whom she finds it amusing to work 12 hours a day. This is her second job.
