In the reorganization of organized la
Dor this fundamental fact should be kept
in constant view, that obedience to law is
not only It's first duty, but is the essential
condition of its existence. The cause of
organized labor has not suffered defeat
by any means. On the contrary, if its
! leaders have protited by the lessons of
experience, it is in the best position for a
forward dmoyement.-NeWA y orll Tribune.
The defiant and aggressive attitude
which organized labor has assumed Of
late, indicates that the trades unions have
formed an exaggerated estimate of the
'timidity of capitaP' and of their own
strength. 1t also proves more conclu-
sively than ever that these organizations

The recent strikes have served to en-
phasiZe the fact that most of the labor or

GERS. These functionaries assume the

! man, as he is generally called, perhaps

Profit sharing between employers and
employed is practicable in a very limited
circle of industry. Where there are GER

done with safety, but in such cases the
capitalist would naturally prefer to select

In cases where there are tiuctuating losses

profit sharing? Those who share profits
in equity must share losses Philadelphia

One rooti served for entrance into the
house, for parl.r, study and bedroom; the
other to the dining and workroom, writes
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher in describing
the first home which she and Mr.. Beecher
had years ago in the west The bed
room was so small that was obliged to
make tho bed ON one side first, then &C
ont on the veranda, raise window
reach in and make the bed on the other
side Not such very troublesome work
after all, when one gets accustomed to
1t. The little kitchen, partitioned off
from the veranda, was just large enough
to allow a passage between the cooking
table and the stove into the dining room
without burning my dress, aud my
table was only divided from Mr.. Beech
er's study table by tho partition.
For nearly seven years this was our
home--a home full of cares and no lux
uries, but very happy home--for many
reasons the happiest we ever knew, for
we were less separated there. In Brook
lyn, in later years, Mr. Beecher's public
duties naturally drew him more away
from the family circle, but in those DAYS
in the west ! had him almost entirely to
myself. Ladies' Home Journal.

Escaped His Thanks,

The Listener" in The Boston Tran

no misfortune without its compensa
tons. He tells of venerable and dis
tinguished old gentleman, who. being
very hard of hearing, enjoys the deaf
mans immunity, and always carries
his "silence compelling veto' with
him.
Not long ago he did young man a
favor, which was of immense value
The youth, overwhelmed with graft.
tude, visited his benefactor, and seized
the ear trumpet with emotion.
20 Mr.. -" he exclaimed, II can
never"
The old man removed the other end
of the tube from his ear. The youth
found himself talking to thin air. He
went off into ridiculous pantomime
of entreaty, all the while brandishing
the unconnected ear trumpet The old
man smiled.
There are times" he said, when it
is very convenient to be deaf"
The young man was obliged to go
away without having communicated
to his benefactor single word OF
thanks.
Are sweeter
says Keats. The smiling veto" of the
deaf old gentleman in this instance
put a certain humor into the lines
which Keats never meant.
