Judge Garx.a Remedy.

Judge Gary was once consulted by q
small manufacturer who bad had
trouble with his employees. He was a
close-fsted fellow in all his business
dealings, and especially in his deal
ings with his employees, and they had
gone out on a strike just at time
when he had secured a contract to do
certain work. The strike would force
him to throw up the contract at con-
siderab Bile financial loss. That doesn't
seem right" he said at last mo, II
DOESN'T" acquiesced the Judge Some
ono ought to be responsible for such
lossea" "Yes some one ought to be, -
admitted the judge. 'And there
ought to be some way of preventing
them" Again the judge acquiesced,
and the man went on: Nov, you're
posted on the law; what would you
advise me to do?' PAY living
wages" replied the judge.

4THAT SEDUCTION CAsE.D

In our remarks yesterday under
the caption of "that seduction case"
we seem to have offended the dig
nifty and finer feelings of the defen-
dant. We will say in this connection
once aud for all that our remarks
were aimed directly at the guilty
party whosoever he is whether he be
Will Eastman or some other man.
Our sentiments arc unchanged and
we stand pat" on the grounds taken.
We have no desire 10 do Mr.. Eastman
a wrong nor do we believe we have
done so. If he is innocent of this
grave charge nothing we have said
can apply to him. and if he is guilty
still we have done him no injustice.
If as he Gays he is innocent we hope
he will be able to prove it and if he
is guilty we hope equally as strong
he will be given a just punishment
both by the court and society.

4 Negro Boy Who Was the Butt ot
HIS Companions.
Eight little colored boys got on q
Buffalo street car at the corner Of
Vermont street one evening recently.
They had been out to st. Mary's to re-
hearse mething or other (they were
choir boys) and they were then on
their way to St PauPs- The women
In the car talked to them, and asked
them all sorts of questions They all
talked willingly except one little
fellow, who was black as coal, and
who seemed TO be the butt of the
other seven.
$50 you all sing?" asked one Of the
women.
"Yep," answered three Of the boys
at the same time.
'Then you are regular little black
birds?"
"Oh, NO, ma am. Blackbirds don't
do nothing but chirp I'm a canary"
can I'm a mockin' bird" said an
other, and each boy to!d what kind
of bird he was uutil the eighth one,
the butt before mentioned, was the
only one who had said nothing.
"And what kind of bird are you
my little fellow?' asked the woman.
"Deed, ma'am," he answered, 81

Beware the Opal.

Some of the older Authorities give
the opal as an emblem of hope. But
a writer on the subject, Rabi Benonl'
who lived In the fourteenth century,
saws of it: 1.-THE opal is fatal TO love-
and sows discord between the giver
and receiver. Given as an engage
meut token it is sure to bring i'll
luck" late writer on the vagaries
Of fashions says: "An opal figures in
Sir Walter SCOTS novel OF Anne OF
Geierstein,' and it's possession was
fatal to the family of the heroine.
The idea that they were unlucky OBJ
tanned such currency that after the
publication Of the novel they went
out of fashion ~-.-s.-. -

The Mckinley tariff bill was dis

steel trusts extorted fabulous profits
from the people were shown. aud he
concluded; There is the question
between protection and free trade.
What is true of steel is true of all in
, dustries. If VIC could abolish the
whole tariff on the 1st of February l
do not believe there is q single manu-
! featuring industry that would close.
On the contrary all that were not
purely exotics, kept alive by the
taxes. would be greatly stimulated.
Foreigners would want more of our
products and foreign markets would
be open to our goods. Wheat would
bring more to the grower and labor
would bring more to the laborer, and
the masses of our people would want
and could pay for more manufactured
goods. You cannot depress industry
and impoverished labor by remitting
raxes.that is done by imposing taxes.

THE MAN WHO ALWAYS SMILES.

There are those who govern nations, who
can lead their fellow men,
Who gain vast abundance by the toll of
hands Or pen;
Who can paint a sunset glowing, who can
show to worlds the right,
Who can lend the glare of noOntide to the
darkening hours of night
They're the ones that get the notice, and
the praising goes their way,
For they're standing out from others in the
open light of day;
But some men who never governed, never
painted, never wrote,
Who never preached sermon, do our
happiness promote.
ready smile and Jest,
Whose presence cen is living, with its
contagious ZeSt;
The man whose friends are countless,
whom no one e'er reviles,
Original pack of SprightlineSS, the man
who always smiles.
His house may not mansion be, his place
inside the line.
Where common people stand and note their
richer neighbOrs shine;
But yet his life's a grander one, though
His title is the prince of hope, the man
who always smiles.
Though he never limned landscape he's
an artist in his way,
He's a picture fair of joyousness in a
frame that's always gay;
His life's useful sermon, and he's preach
ing all the while,
And he's better off than governors, the
man who always smiles.
He's one of life's physicians without anti
dotes or pills,
His cures are freely given to all mems
current ills;
He's missionary worker, leaving out the
heather isles,
And he's aiming straight for Heaven, the
man who always smiles.
Then worship still our mighty men who
lead us on in might,
Who teach us and who tell US how to work
and act Alright;
But leave thought for this one. too, he
who our minds beguiles,
DOff your hats and speak CHEEKY word to
the man who always smiles.

Magazine for January

McClure's Magazine for January is as
attractive in illustration as in reading
matter, and what first strikes one in
glancing through it is the notable wealth
OF portraits. One of Parkman, the
historian, serves as frontispiece; and in
the "Human Documents" department
(Which, by the way, abates none OF its
interest end novelty are Others of Park
man, as well as series OF Rider Haggard,
the novelist, and a series of the eminent
French physician and scientist, Charcot.
Then there are portraits also OF Jules
Verne, the late Professor Tyndall, Pro-
fessor Huxley, the Duke Of Argyll, Sam
uel Smiles, and Professor Max Muller.
The article likeliest to first sieze the
readers attention is Cy Warman's vivid
description of the ride he took on the
engines of the Exposition Flyer from
New York to Chicago. For twenty hours,
and through nearly a thousand miles,
without sleep or rest, Mr.. Warman,
himself an old engineer, kept his place in
the "cab," and took note of all that
was done in "keeping them going at a
speed attained by no other train in the
world. Scarcely less thrilling than the
account of this unparalleled journey,
though, are some of the promises OF
progress recorded in series of predictions
contributed by Professor Huxley, Max
Muller, Professor B. J. Houston, Arch
bishop Ireland, and other Americans and
Europeans ofspecial authority in religion,
science, and literature.
