was completed and he was discharged.
Mr.. A. L. Hopkins, of New York, Sec
ond vice-president of the Missouri
Pacific, next testified. He stated
at the outset that he knew very
little about the strike which Mr.. Gould
had not stated, as his sources OF in.
formation were the same as those of Mr..
Gould. He believed that the strike
would have been avoided If Mr.. Powderiy
had called the attention of Messrs. Gould
and Hoxie to the differences before the
strike begun.
Referring to the arbitration bill before
Congress, Mr.. Hopkins said it would be
of no effect if it did not prohibit
strikes. He thought strike that in
terfered with men who wanted to work
should be made criminal Offense; that
case where man quit work anu an
other was not allowed to take his place
should be made crime. The plan of ar
bitration should be fixed by law and en-
ployes should be compelled to submit to
it or remain peaceful if unsatisfactory.
Mr.. Hopkins knew of many instances
where labor organizations were for the
good of all concerned. Mr.. Hopkins did
not think Mr.. Powderly was responsible
for the strike; he was too sensible
man.
To question by Mr.. Cultivate, Mr..
Hopkins said that he was approached by
a man in Wall street and informed that
the strike was enacted by bears on the
stock market. That the spectators who
were short on railroads had got the men
in the Southwest to keep up the strike.
This was short time after the strike be-
gan.
Mr.. Hopkins was present at the con-
60
ly and Mcdowell. He did not under
stand that Mr.. Gould's consent to arbi-
trate was decision independent of Mr..
Hoxie. The arbitration, If it took place,
was not to be between the company and
the Knights of Labor, but between the
company and the men employed in
dividually.
Fright there" said he, 'sfs where the
trouble came in. We refused to recog-
nize the Knights of Labor as an organiza-
ton. The strike had been going on three
weeks. 1t was much like catching man
who had robbed your house and propos-
ing to arbitrate as to who should have
the goods. These men had been burning
our cars, blockading traffic and destroy
ing our property"
Mr.. Hopkins would not say, however,
that the damage done to property was
done by Knights of Labor. He described
the Inconvenience the people were sub
jected to by the strike, showing that
many workmen in all kinds of business
were thrown out. Mr.. Hopkins stated
that he had heard that certain gentlemen
prominently connected with the Knights
of Labor were about the brokers' offices in
New York, and they were on the short side
of the stock. Being pressed for the names
of men, Mr.. Hopkins refused to give
them, but said he would communicate
the name of his informant to the commits
son. 81 think, however," said he, ''that
before you get through with this investi-
CATION you will get plenty of evidence on
this point.''

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
CRYING POLLY.

Miss Polly was pretty and dainty and neat,
And would have been charming and cunning
and sweet,
Of crying or sobbing or sulking all day.
She cried it 'twere cold, and she cried II 'twere
hot
She cried in the summer or winter or spring
At every person and every thing
At every hour and every season;
For any excuse or for any good reason;
She'd cry all the harder because there was
none.
One day she had cried for an hour or sos.
Perhaps she was nervous, perhaps she was
sad;
Some one may have said her behavior was
Or that she had freckles and hair that was
red;
She may have been hurt; do not ask me to try
To tell why Miss Polly should whimper and
cry.
She happened at last from the window to
glance.
And saw, whirling round by himself in a
dance,
A grimacing monkey-a queer little wight,
" no made all the little ones scream in de-
light.
He jumped and he capered, now low and now
high,
Till-Polly forgot she was having a cry.
She laughed with the rest till the monkey was
And then began thinking twas time to go on
She put up her lips and she rubbed at her
She looked very mournful, she drew heavy
sighs;
Then asked as she coaxed up suitable pout;
"Oh-grandmother- what was l crying
about?'

Who Are Your Compartment

A boy is known by the company he
keeps. You are judged by your associ-
ates, for the very good reason that
people usually select for their friends
those who are in sympathy with them
selves.
If suspicion in a school trouble of
any sort falls upon a lad or set of
lads, you may be certain that they
have been companions in mischief.
Wrong-doing is much like a SNOWFALL
rolling down hill; it gathers size and
momentum as it goes. If a bad boy
could always keep good company, few
But a bad boy would be ill at ease
among the good, and SO you seldom
find him in their society.
May your Aunt Majorie explain that
she is not one of those tiresome people
who never have patience with fun, and
who consider high spirits and merri-
ment out of place? Indeed, no.. When
there is frolic going on, count me in,
ness, include the meanness which
makes boy tell lie rather than own
that he has been in the wrong; the
mailce winch prompts HIM to play q
practical joke, and the lack of principle
which borrows and does not return.
There are diseases which. are con-
tagious, that is, communicated by the
touch We are very careful not to
put ourselves in their way. The worst
disease in the world which, affects only
the body is, however, to be preferred
to a wrong condition of the soul, and
the best way to keep out of that is to
choose good companions and avoid bad
ones. -Aumt Myorie Precept, @a Har-
per's Young People.
