THE LAND OF THUs-AND-so
BY JAMES w1I1rcoMr RILEY.


" How would Willie like to go
To to the land of Thus-aud-So?
Everything is proper there
All the children comb their hair
Smoother than the fur OF cats,
Or the nap of high silk hats;
Every face is clean and white
As Il lily washed in light;
Never vaguest soil or speck
Found on forehead. throat or neck;
Every little crlmplcd ear,
In and out, as pure and clear
As the cherry-blossom' blow
In the land Of Thus-and-So.
" Little boys that never fall
Down the stairs, or cry at all
Doing nothing TO repent,
Watchful and obcdicut;
Never hungry, nor in haste
Tidy shOestringS always laced;
Never button rutlely torn
From its fellows all unwOrn:
kGickcrbOckerS always new
iibbOn-tic, and collar, too;
Little watches, worn like men,
Only always hall-past ten
Just precisely right, you know,
For the land of 1hus-and-So.
" And the little babies there
Give no one the slightest care
Nurse has not Ling to do
Bllt be hapl y and say 'Boor
While mamma just mods, and knows
Npthing hut t. duzc and dCze;
Never litter around the CRATE;
Never lunch or dinner late;
Never any household din
perls without or rings within
Bahy-cOns nor laughing calls,
On the stairs, or through the halls
Just great Ilushcs to and fro
Pace the land of 1hus-and SO!
" o the land OF rhuS-and-SO!
Isn't 1t delightful, though?'
Yes, ," lisped Willie, answering me
Somewhat slow and doubtGully-
Must be awful nicc-but
Rulher wait till by and by
Fore go thcre-may be when
be dead III go there then
But" the troubled little face
Closer pressed in my embrace
Les don't never ever go
To the land Ot Thus-and-Sow

After the Opera.

Frau Bucher climbed the last step of
the attic-stairs, and found her young
lodger still sewing by the light of feeble
lamp.
"rhekla, child" she cried, "ain't You
ready yet a while?"
Come in and sit down." the girl
answered in pure sweetly spoken Ger
man. "rm almost through"
But you amt had your supper yet,
said Frau Bucher.
''fm only going to have bit of toast
and some tea. You'll have a cup with
me, won't you? Oh, yes, but you must!
Think how many cups of coffee I've
taken with you! Besides, it's SO much
more cosy and sociable than being
alone"
"Ah, WELL" said Frau Bucher, laugh
ing softly, I'VE don't go to the o olera
every night! This is what you call a
sprce-eh, Thekla?"
The girl smiled back at her, but her
lips dropped slightly. She was think
ing, poor child, of the time when the
opera was part of her daily life. All,
how they used TO applaud, those Ger
mans, when her father led the orchestra
lie had been dead three years, and
that was, eight years ago. But she
could see it all now-the lights, the per-
fume, and the flowers, the ladies in
costly attire nodding gaily to her, the
maestro's daughter, and Felix.
"And what are these things for, any
howe" asked Frau Bucher, piching up
little plush bag from bright-colored
] pile that lay on the table.
For opera-slaSses," Thekla said, ris-
ing suddenly and beginning TO hustle
over her little supper. ~ make them

how well they SELL"
"Sow said Frau Bucher pleasantly.
That is good. But why do you sit,
here sewing yet while, when there are
lots Of good men, Thekla?"
Il hate men," the girl answered
fiercely. II shall never marry anyone,
| Mrs. Bucher." i
"Ihat's all foolishness, child. You
are young yet while; but every girl las

long ago"

Frau Bucher.

| Chismore is an extensive traveller
and has spent months Of his life wan-
dering through the wiIds hunting for
shooting and fishing stories. On one
of the trips he met a character who
was din experienced guide and as
swearer, held the first position in the
mountains. They were dragging
themselves one day up q very had
trail and the guide had pack on his
horse that gave him a lot Of trouble.
The nuisance would fall otf on one
side and then on the other, and little
expletives would follow each little in

Is starting up new cooperative enter
prises. We hear of Knights Of Labor
cooperative shoe factories in Lynn,
Massachusetts,. The well-known
Waltham watch factory has never
had strike, though wages have Of
ten been reduced, for the reason that
many Of the employees were stock
holders, and it would have been alb
surd for them to have struck against
themselves. 1t is now announced
that John Jarrett, Il leading member
of a labor organization, and Andrew
Carnegie, the millionaire steel manu-
facturer, have agreed upon a scheme
which has vast possibilities. The fol-
lowing is the outlines of this far
reaching project:
"No one but workingmen or men,
bers Of labor organizations will be
permitted to take stock, and no man
can hold more than $500 worth. If
man desires to go into the company
and has not the amount of money re-
quired, he can deposit Il portion of
his earnings in the bank. On these
earnings he will receive eight per
cent. interest. Bankers say that
money is going a begging at five per
cent, and | cannot understand how
they can afford to pay more than that
amount. Of course, Mr.. Jarrett and
Mr.. Carnegie would not go into a
thing of this kind blindly, and be-
lieye they will be able to keep their
part Of the agreement. When suf-
ticient sum has been secured to start
the bank and store they will be estab-
lished in this city. a central and
convenient location will be secured.
Everything that is used by u work.
ingman and his family will be kept
in the store, Prices will be lower
than at other stores, but there will
be profit for the stockholders, and
dividends will be paid every six
months or deposited to the credit of
the stockholders III the bank. \
number of delivery wagons will be
sent all over the cities daily for the
purpose of receiving and delivering
orders. These stores will be estab-
lished in all the leading cities of the
country as soon as possible. After
this scheme has been tested, build
ing and loan associations will be Or
ganized, the main OBJECT being to
erect homes for the members. In
time there will spring out Of this
cooperative rolling mills,
steel mills, foundries, factories and
machine shops. Workingmen will
soon become interested in the move
ment, and instead of spending money
in saloon, or for pleasure, will deposit
all they cali spare in their ban5 I
With men like Andrew Carnegie
and John Jarrett behind the scheme,
there is hardly any possibility of
failure
Every well-wisher Of his kind will
hope that this or similar projects will
succeed, for the future looks gloomy
enough if the workiEg-c'asses remain

Formidable Opposition to the knights OF
Labor.

Formidable Opposition to the Knights OF
The Boston Commercial Bulletin says: The
sudden and unexpected collapse of what
threatened to be Q serious strike at the Whit
tenton mills, Taunton, was caused by the dis
covery that that mill belonged TO q huge Or
gsnizAticn Of textile industries OF New Eng
land, which has been formed 80 quietly that II
has escaped oil notice. This organization ex-
tends over Rhode Island and Connecticut, and
already Includes torty-nine large wooden mills.
This society was organized for mutual protec-
ton. 1t does not recognize the authority Of
the Knights OF Labor In any way, but II is
prepared to use arbitration In the settlement
OF strikes. The organization Is growing In
numbers, and it's purposes are TO give each
strike careful consideration and to assist
only those manufacturers who are
unfairly treated by their help. A sec
ond society, embracing all cotton
mills OF any Importance In Maine
New Hampshire and Massachusetts, was Very
quietly completed and 1t elected It's officers
IN Boston on Wednesday. The Masssclusett
league is the league OF cotton mills 10 which
WOODEN mills are TO be admitted. while the
Rhode Island society was formed by wooden
mills, and suhst quently admitted cotton man
ufacturers. During the last month the cotton
mills OF this state have been quietly preparing
for organization for mutual insurance against
labor disturbances The society is not a cor
poration and has no stock. The yearly pay
rolls OF the mills that have already joined
amount TO $50 ,0O0. The aims OF the So
ciety are not IN any sense aggressive, and its
purpose Is not to attack the Knights o. Labor,
but simply 10 protect it's members against un-
just persecution.
