startling contrasts between the condi-

The writer from whom we are quoting

nearly 622lis cents for full working days.
If, however, the holidays and other
leisure time were eliminated l found no
man whose yearly wages reached 100
marks, roundly SlsS. II the general
mass of labor were taken, such yearly
average would hardly rise above $780,"
An investigation OF household expenses
showed that for a family Of five persons
the expenditure for potatoes, cahbages,
bread, milk, coffee, sugar, sausages,
bacon, lard and beer amounted to about
fifty-two cents a day. Add to this the
cost OF insurance and benefit payments,
clothing. fuel, rent, holiday expenses,
slck fund dues, taxes, etc, and we would
have q total cost Of $3.50 a year. In such a
household, the father al most could not

s65 to be made up from other sources.
This shortage in the average family is
made up by the women and little child

About a week ago Geo. Fisher and Char

horse and cart. Tho damaged machine
was put in, Cooper also put his in. and the
two continued on their journey. Along in
the night the rain came down in buckets.

embankment. wee thrown out and the
horse ran away. After a search of two
days they found the animal in a prospect

the cart and two machines piled on top of
him. Fisher returned to Helena Friday

ONE more big summer convention is
before us. The national e~ncampment
OF the Sons of Veterans will be the last
and greatest of all, in point of numbers.
Our citizens have their hands we'll in,
now, as entertainers, and unless all
signs fail the boys will have a good
time as they deserve. By the way, is
any nov being made to secure v

now admirably equipped for them. The
auditorium, which is SO admirably
adapted for public gatherings, has more
than paid for itself in the reputation it
has brought to our people for enter

by it, and has gone home to sound the
praises of our people. The big hall still
stands, ready to receive future conve
tons. By all means let us have more

THE MINER IN GERMANY.

A writer in the Harvard Quarterly
journal of Economics for July gives
some interesting information in relation
TO the life of miners in the Harz mount
aims of Germany. In one sense his re-
searches are discouraging to those
reformers who look for an early solution
OF the labor problems which now con-
front us in the nineteenth century. He
shows that in these mines, which have
been worked for five or six centuries, the
questions that perplex US to-day batfl ed

MEMORIAL DAY.

When patriots and true heroes
Doth let their lfes blood freely flow,
Resigning their most precious lives,
A consecrated sacrifice,
Then thou, o heavenly goddess, fair
OF all the muses., wilt repair
Unto the haliowed spot, where they
Repose and sing for them Lay;
While thou Dixie's maidens fair,
Beneath the verdant laurel bowers,
Wilt cover them with honor love.
In beauty in the form Of flowers;
And clad the towering monuments,
That tell the glory of their lives,
In floral robes, while memory
Sits there and sweetly tunes her Tyre.
Now hither o, fame descend from your throne,
o, where you in glory aud honor reside.
In all the effulgenoe on earth you can own,
Tyre.
And sing of the men,
Heroic and brave,
Who died with smile
Their country to save.
If there be here upon this terrestrial abode
brow that does merit all unfadng croE n,
That ever shall shine and brighter shall grow,
1t is the fair brow of him of renown;
Who died in the cause
OF Liberty and Right;
sacrifice made.
At the price of a life.
And o. if there be here jewel on earth,
AS precious as tears from repentance that
flow,
1t is the libatiOn that crimsons the turf,
From the heart so noble of the dying hero;
Whose very last breath
Is perfume Of love,
Waited upward in prayer
For the land that he loves
And If there is blooming land 80 sublime,
Heroic in deeds on earth here below.
Or in the ethereal and starry decked Chimes
That garland of glory by her should be worn.
'Tis Dixie's fair land,
Immortal in deeds;
So charming in beauty,
A paradise seems,
