But, if you'll excuse me, sir, I think it's been coming on for some time. He 's been queer and shaky-like for Weeks. Started in to work this morning, and dropped down all in a heap, as you see him. The rays of the morning sun entered the tall Windows of the furniture factory, and filtered through the dust-laden air until they reached the corner Where the speakers were standing. All work was suspended, and the frank faces of the workmen wore a common expression of honest con cern over the calamity that had overtaken one of their number.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Claim It was not an hour at which Dawson approved of interruptions, and Valerie was in truth horribly afraid of Dawson; but the baby had been crying steadily for nearly ten minutes, and it was not easy to go downstairs without finding out what was the matter. Valerie had often come up at intervals of a quarter of an hour during the better part of an afternoon to make sure that the crying was quieted, but this afternoon people were coming to lunch and she would not be able to get away. So she gathered her courage and opened the door very gently and looked in. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Fourth Reader of the Popular Series Classic Reprint written by Marcius Willson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fourth Reader of the Popular Series IN calling the attention of educators to whatever, in this Fourth number, may be found peculiar in the character of a Reading Book for schools, we would refer, in addition to what is said here, to the explanatory preface of the Third Reader. It willobe seen that the plan of localizing events around a home centre of attraction, and carrying onward the same leading characters through the varying scenes incident to childhood and youth, and thence, still onward, into the sterner realities of life, continues to be a leading feature of the series, - a feature that is designed to give' continuity and increased interest to the entire work; and we are quite confident that it will be found to serve this purpose without diminishing the variety of matter required in a Reading Book, or in any degree impairing its educational value. Indeed, we think We may justly claim that our plan admits the possibility of the very greatest variety. We refer to the table of contents for some idea of our acknowledged selections from others, and of our still more numerous adaptations of such pieces as we have found suited to our purposes. Nor is this all; for while the slender web of fiction that runs throughout is of our own weaving, we have borrowed, from a great variety of sources, whatever hues and colors we have found best adapted to give interest and variety to the pattern.

Download or read book The Rightful Claims of Women Classic Reprint written by Thomas J. Haslam and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rightful Claims of Women The relationship between man and woman, in its ideal form, is the tenderest that the human imagination can well conceive; nevertheless, incredible as it may appear, and reluctant as we, men may be to acknowledge it, one of the most melancholy chapters in human experience has been the treatment of women by their loving partners in that supreme relationship. I have no wish to exaggerate against my own sex; but, so far as I know, - w'ith plenty of individual exceptions at all times, and with an ever increasing number of such exceptions in these days, - there has never been a period, and there has never been a country, in which, speaking generally, women have been dealt with equitably, either socially or politically. Amongst savage races, - to begin with, - down even to our own times, - I have the highest authority for the statement that the men generally have no more conception of the rights of women than of the rights of dogs. In most cases, while they confine themselves to the more dignified occupations of hunting and fighting, they pile the accumulated burden of the servile drudgery, - out-door as well as in-door, upon their women. In nearly all cases, I believe, they exercise the right of either selling or killing their wives. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Down the Mother Lode The geologist and the historian agree as to its location and composition, but the old miners and' 'sojourners' 'of the vanished golden era give strangely different versions of it. Some of these are here set down, if not all for your enlightenment at least, I hope, for your entertainment. That is, after all, the principal aim of these tales of the old days. 1n California, that are gone for good. Mark Twain says in his preface to Roughing It that there is a great deal of information in his work, which he regrets very much but which really could not be helped, as information seems to stew out of me naturally, like the precious ottar of roses out of the otter! These stories make no such: particular claim! They are merely historical fragments of their everyday life, gathered from a passing generation before they shall be finally lost. Each one is based upon truth. Somewhere, sometime, some place, certain characters lived the scenes and actions here described. The title Mother Lode has been used in its broader sense, as exemplifying the source of all gold in California, and the life which arose from it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fisheries and Fishery Industries of the United States It is now nearly four hundred years Since these grounds were first fished upon by Europeans, and their resources are still unfailing; but the fishing interests have been mainly transferred to the New World, France alone of European countries having continued to send fishing vessels across the Atlantic down to 1880. Since then, however, the Portuguese have begun to exhibit some activity in connection with the cod fishery of the Grand Bank, and in the Spring and sum mer of 1885 bought several New England fishing schooners and fitted out others from home ports. Their voyages proving generally successful, they have added more vessels to their fishing fleet during the latter part of this year, and it is quite possible that, in the course of a few seasons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ben Thorpe Lanville boys were an unknown type to Ben and a brand-new experience. Hackett selected two for that first walk back to the Saw Mill River, and they in turn per formed later ou such introductions to the crowd as were necessary. Heaven had bestowed upon Ben a gift of inestimable value, a personality that attracted those whom he liked, and he liked nearly every one who was of the male persuasion. He made no attempt to push himself to the fore among the Lanville boys, he made no claim to prowess in sports or in anything else, he did not bully boys smaller than himself, nor toady to bigger boys. He agreed with their Opinions almost always, he fell in with their plans; if sometimes he made suggestions he did it quietly, with a smile, without antagonizing. The boys learned quickly that he was a far better ball-player and swimmer than any other boy of his age in town, and that gave him prestige; there was about him, too, a certain calmness and good judgment that won respect. He quickly became a leader among them, though he made no attempt to as sume leadership. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Digging the Top Off: And Other Stories As this story, in its leading incidents, is a true one, perhaps I had better describe Joe Por ter, who is living to-day, grown to manhood, in one of our large western cities. In appearance he was a most unpromising lad. His face was very ruddy, and nearly as round as a plate. His eyes always half Shut, gave him a drowsy and peculiar look. They made him seem far away; and in speaking to him one felt as if he must shout to make him hear. His movements were so sluggish that the snail could readily claim kinship with him. Among his associates this characteristic had obtained for the boy the title of Slow Joe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toppleton's Client: Or a Spirit in Exile Nor was this feeling, that with the departure of Toppleton, the illustrious, for other worlds the firm was deprived of a most considerable portion of its Claims to high standing, confined to cavilling outsiders. No one recognized the unhappy state of affairs at the busy Office on Broadway more quickly than did Messrs. Morley, Harkins, Perkins, Mawson, Bronson, Smithers, and Hicks themselves, and at the first meeting of the firm, after the funeral of their dead partner, these gentlemen unani mously resolved'that something must be done. It was at this meeting that Mr. Hicks suggested that the only course left for the bereaved firm to pursue, if it desired to remain an aggressive force in its chosen profession, was to retain the name of Toppleton at the mast head, and, as Mr. Mawson put it, to bluff it out. Mr. Perkins agreed with Mr. Hicks, and suggested that the only honest way to do this was to induce Mr. Toppleton's only son, known to all - even to the clerks in the Office - as Hoppy, to enter the firm as a full partner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prentice-Hall Tax Service for 1919 This allowance is not based upon the difference between the actual war cost of such facilities and what they would have cost at pre-war prices. Obviously the taxpayer is not entitled to recover or extinguish through amortization more than the difference between the war cost of such property and what he can sell the property for after the war, or if he continues to need and use it in his business, what it would have cost him after the war. As the rule is expressed in Article 183 of the Regulations: The total amount to be extinguished by amortization, in general, is the excess of the unextinguished or unrecovered cost of the property over its maximum value (either for sale or for use as part of the plant or equipment of a going business) under stable post war.
