shorten the hours of labor.
Reasonable labor is source of Joy. To
work for wife and child, to toll for those
You love is happiness, provided you can
make them happy. But to work like slave
to see your wife and children in rags-to
sit at table where food is coarss and scarce,
to rise at four in the morning-to work all
day and throw your tired bones upon mis-
cradle bed at night-to live without leisure,
without rest, without making those you
love comfortable and happy-this is no liv-
ing-it is dying-a slow, lingering crucifix-
ion.
What is a reasonable price for labor ?
Answer Such a price as will enable m an
to live, to have the comforts Of life to lay
by something for his declining years, so that
he can have his own home, SO that he can
preserve the feelings of a man.

Words Of One syllable.

Commissioner Edgerton says he

by the publication of the fact that he
delivered long address to the public
schools of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and
did not use word containing more

requests from all parts of the country
for copies of the address. One in
credulous individual wrote the Com
missioner that he did not believe il
was true, as reported, that he had
written sentence of thirty words OF
only one syllable each, and asking
where he could find paper contain
ling such sentence. Mr.. Edgertor
answered as follows:
"T have no time now to tell yor

TO have much skill in such work

Bishop Oberly, the new Civil-Ser-
vice commissioner, is an entertaining
talker and tells some very funny
stories. He says that many years ago
when young man, he was elected
an assemblyman in Illinois. He was
frightened when the time came fol
him to go to the capitol at Springfield
He feared that he would be paled by
the flashing of bright intellects all
around him. He took his seat on the
first day il fear and trembling, but in
five minutes he was put perfectly al
ease, and made to think that perhaps
be might be one of those who would
shine. This is what wrought the
change in his mind: "Mr. Speaker,
said one assemblyman, ''there are nc
ink in the inkstand." Young Oberly
was amazed. "By gracious!" he
thought, SIS this the kind of timber
they send here?" Up rose another
assemblyman, since famous as "Long
Jones'" aud known to all Illinoisans
"Mr. Speaker" said he, ''there are ink
but it are froze in the bottles" Thai
was all Young Oberly needed to. put
| him az ease in the Legislature.

good deal o. discussion just now in
various parts upon the question 81
limiting the working day 70 eight
hours. Eight bours' hard work Ger
tainly makes pretty long day, and
we dare say that in the progress Of
|sccjrty, attended, as it must be, BY
Al sorts Of improvement and inven-
lions, the time will come when men
will NOT have to work more than eight
hours in order to earn their living;
and perhaps even shorter day will

case now stands, it is doubtful wheth-
Ter : general limitation Of the work
ling day to 20 brief : period i practi-
|cable. But, however this may be, we
should like to see it tried, and for
those who can afford to restrict their
hours Of daily toll to eight, let them
go ahead with the experiment.
One thing, however, is certain, and
this is that no person who works only
eight hours, can expect to be paid as
much for it as when he works ten
hours or more. Moreover, the great
[point about all these questions is lib
erty. Let every one have full free
dom to do or not to do everything
that his mind prompts; and let no one
interfere with the freedom of another.
But why should there be any dis
|pute on the number of hours that
should constitute days work? The
sensible plan would be to pay by the
hour, not by the day, and to let every
one labor as many hours, or as few
as he may wish Y. Sun.

IDAHO WORLD. But we did not
have word to say against him On
tnat account, for we knew that his
circumstances were such that he
couldn't pay. He promised to paw
whenever he was able to. We took
him at his word. Years afterwards
ne many times repeated the promise,
and now, since he has made raise
ne has been reminded and re-remlnd-
ga, by letter, Of his promise, but not
a word, in answer, has been received.
The Judge, when resident Of this
county, was very friendly with the
WORLD, and all connected with it,
and we considered him friend.
The man who, when he makes a stake,
will go back on his friends, those
who trusted him when he had moth

a bare possibility that the Judge has
forgotten all about the little bill he
owes the WORLD, and that he did
not receive our letters reminding him
of his indebtedness. If he did not
receive them, we will not question
his honesty. A copy Of this number
of the WORLD will be mailed to him
with the hope that it will bring a re-
lply and an explanation. The Judge
has it in his power to make the plant
of confidence in his honesty grow il
