One Glass Her Rain.

Eight years ago, Deitrick II. Fischer Of
New York was married TO his wife,
Catharine. He had inherited property
worth 300, 600 from his father, and, hav-
ing secured beautiful bride, felt that the
prospect Of his life WAS a brilliant one.
At the wedding supper Mr. Fischer gaily
offered his wife glass Of wine, She de
clined, stating that she never drank any
kind of liquor. lie urged and almost
forced her to drink it. and at last, 70 avoid
the appearance Of obstinacy, she consented
and took the glass.
That glass was her ruin She. began 10
drink regularly; was separated from her
husband; on Thursday week ago was ia

ONE of the unpleasant but inevitable eff
this country is to increase the importation of
manufactured goods that should be made by
American workmen. The mills of the United
States are afraid to take new contracts, lest
they cannot fulfill them. With employees
that are likely to Ego out at any moment,
they cannot feel assured that they will not be
left in the lurch; nor can they count on the
possibility of securing men in the place of
those striking, for it has come to be the
practice to not allow men to work without the
consent of men who themselves refuse to
work. The result is inevitable, and large
orders are already going to Europe 1t is said
that already between three and four million
dollars worth of foreign goods have been
ordered. Not that the jobbers want to do so,
or because they do so out Of spite. 1t is
simply business necessity. All this is
who has no one but himself to blame for it.
Thousands of American families will suffer
next winter by reason Of the shortsightedness
of the man upon whom they depend for sus-
tenance, in that he helped kill the goose that
laid the industrial egg. The prudent work
ingman who loves his family will hesitate
long before lending aid to the onslaught upon
employers in general, and only too often
without sufficient reason.

Turn this over in your mind and think
once, only once Chicago relied on the gen.
eral idea of the antediluvians, that it would
not be much of a food. After two score of
good, brave and merciful policemen and Of
fcers had been killed or wounded, then Chica-
go and the Mayor woke up to the realization
of the danger. The people and authorities of
Cincinnati have a recent experience of
mobs and mob violence costing them price
less records and million or two of dollars, and
they wisely prepare for tne worst. They do
well. The life of any one of the brave police
men of Chicago was and is worth more than
that of all the Communists and Socialists
in America, or the cost of the transportation
of regiment or two of troops over few
miles of railroad.
