DEPARTMENT STORES.
They May Be the Foreruuners of 4
Semi Socialistic Condition.

The department store is unquestion-
ally development of the tendency of

the restraint of trade and the dis
same can undoubtedly be said Gf the
department stores. Both reduce the cost
TIC the consumer and both make it al
most impossible for small manu-
facturers and small tradesmen to
maintain themselves. This is without
doubt very hard on the men who must
give up being Independent proprietors
to become employees; and it may be
that it is bad thing, pro tanto. for
the community, itasmuch as a propri-
etor is very apt to be more conserva-
tive citizen than Il hired mai. The
great question after ALL however, must
be whether this tendency towards con-
centration of capital in the work of
production and distribution is a good
thing for the proprietors of trusts and
stores.
Our own idea is that these anti-so-
cialistic trusts" and department
stores are the result of an intermediate
condition which will develop into Il
more advanced condition which might
be called semi-socialistic This sounds
paradoxical, but it seems to be as GER
tain as the fact that the pendulum
which swings to the right is sure to
swing to the left. Our idea is that
great cooperative stores will take the
place Of the department stores before
another generation reaches maturity,
and that perhaps In future little
more remote some sharing system will
be devised by which the mill hands of
the country will receive their weges in
a division of profits.--Leslie's Weekly.

WAS JOHN ALDEN AN FRESHMAN
Former Boston Clergyman Claims
to Have Proof OF the Fact.

The coming of eX-Ambassador
The mas +. Bayard to Boston with the
log" of the Mayfower lends additional
interest to some recent researches Of
the Rev William Eliot Griffis, a Con-
sregational clergyman of Ithaca, N. Y,
who maintains that John Alden, he
who welded Priscilla Mullins, was an
lrisl man born and bred.
The Rev. Mr.. Grl1ils was formerly
pastor of the South Congregational
elected member of the American Irish
Historical society, at whose head was
the late Rear Admiral Meade, United
States navy. Mr.. Griffis has just writ
ten letter to the secretary of the
society Tho mas Hamilton hurry, of
LawlU &c, Mass, in which he says
that the Aldens, at first a Norman
family, went over and settled in Ire
land After considerable search Mr..
Griffis has been unable to find the
name of Alden in the English towns
arc cities tefore the early part of the
seventeenth century. Therefore, no says
that he thinks he is justified in saying
that John Alden was an Irishman, and
he adds that he is strengthened in his
belief by the fact that although a great
many EEglishmen would like to dis
ptCve his belief, yet with all their re-
sources they have never been able to
de so.
There are many names,' says Mr..
Gr.ffis in his communication to Secre
tars hurry, "or forms of names,
among immigrants who came over, not
only in the Mayhower, but in the sue
ceeding ships to Plymouth, which show
almost certainly either irish birth or
extraction. OF course you know that
in the large body of English auXiliaries
who stood with the Dutch in the fight
for their constitutional liberty and in
the great cause of human freedom,
e, erywhere from 1868 to 1910, there
were many thousands of Irishmen
In conclusion, Mr. Griffis argues in
keeping with his ideas set forth in his
beck, Brave Little Holland. that nearly
one-t third of those who started in the
May flower were natives of Holland,
having been born there after the time
the Pilgrims first left England and he
intlmates that at future time he will
set forth the part taken by Irishmen in
Holland.
Before lorg it is exp ectad that the
Historical society will
start an Investigate III of its own to
establish the truth about the distinctly
Irish mem es which appear among the
fCrty one passengers On the historical
voyage of the Mayfower. Names like
Mu'llnh, Martin, Miles Standish, Hop
kins, Williams, Clarke and Robinson,
it is claimed. are among the oldest
rames of the best families of the En-
erald Isle.-Boston Correspondence

NATURAL NOSE FOR PETROLEUM,

John Moosman, known throughout
the West Virginia oil fields as The
Smeller," on account of some power he
seemed to possess for locating oil
pools, was struck by railroad train
and instantly killed. A small spot on
his forehead was the only mark made
by the train. Moosman was 20 years
old, deaf, and very wealthy, his money
having been earned from oil men. who
had the most implicit confidence in his
ability to judge the value of an oil
well before 1t was drilled. He had
made dozens of locations for wells in
this field, and was invariably success
full.

they are about to get married.

mined by the number of initials before
his name.

went, just the same.
People do not pay enough attention to
| doing things which will cause them to
respect themselves.
The reward of being mans most
highly-valued confidante is that he con-
tides to tell you how hard up he is.
You can't tell whether o man loved
his wife by the way he carries on at her
funeral; watch him year later.
When a man finally gets a suit of
clothes that suits him somebody is sure
to say that the coat is too short.

much as to mabke town man in a

Il am not satisfied about some things -

If he is satisfied about anything.
Almost every public speaker during
the course of his talk mentions his dear

When a woman riding in a funeral
procession speaks to someone she sees

innocence, womanhood .of respect!
Think of the broken hopes, the burnt

without discipline feared not to meet
their foe and walk into the jaws of
death! Think of that time and tell me

greatest patriots, Emmet and Wolfe
Tone.
Looking down the history of Ireland
for the last hundred years you see two
great figures standing out as the en-
bodiment of Irish thought the one a
man gifted with powerful intellect, great
memory, burning eloquence, generous
spirit and tender heart; the advocate
of moral force, the liberator of the Cath
olics, the benefactor of mankind-Dan-
iel O'Connell; the other man who
brought to his feet the English govern
ment, Who united the Irish race, who
brought the Irish to the borders Of the
promised land, who led the Irish as no
man ever led before-Ireland's great
Irelands immortal leader-Charles
Stewart Parnell.
''It is true, my friends, that Ireland is
under British rule, but Irishmen are not
yet English. The spirit of our fathers
still walks abroad; the spirit that bore
aloft the sword of Wallace on the heath
cred hills of Scotland; the spirit that
nerved Gustavus Vasa to cut the chains
of Denmark that bound his native Swe-
den; the spirit that burned in the heart
Of Winkelried on the field of Sempal;
the spirit that told Scaevola to place his
hand in the fire to teach patriotism to
future generations; the spirit that made
Sobiesko the hero of Vienna; the spirit
that consecrated the sword of Koscius-
ko, which cut down the Russians on the
walls of Warsaw; the spirit that called
Andreas Hofer to NOW down the b.
varian hosts at the gates OF Innspruck;
the spirit that made hundred thous-
and swords jump from their scabbards
to hew the way for freedom from Bun
ker Hill to Yorktown; the spirit that
today tells the Greeks to bid defiance to
the Turk; the spirit that impelled Ma
Geo against the Spanish swords for Gu
ban liberty-that spirit, say, burns III
every Irish heart on Irish soil today.
Can such a race as ours be in chains?
Let us not depend too much on tie
mercy of England, but let us stand to-
gether, let us be united, and Ireland
in our time will take her place as a ma
tion free and Independent

The modern works OF fiction that
deal with the sociological aid religious
questions Of the hour in masterfrl
way are to be counted as our present
day classics and placed On the literary
Olympus among the other deities. It is
quite natural that Zeas, Apollo and
Demeter and their priests should look
with grave suspicion upon the new ar
rivals, for not only do these threaten to
divide honors, but also incidentally the
spoils of the sacred Office. However,
Jupiter as we'll as Pluto should remem-
Der that the way to the literary Olym-
pus has never been closed and that the
doctrine of evolution implies that the
newer deities may crowd the older ones
out Of the sacred circle and occupy all
the seats. The law of the survival Of
the fittest reigns amcng tie gods of lit
erature as we'll as among devils and
men, and we should make up our minds
to bow to it subnissively.
We are left in conclusion to our OWL
choice, to follow our OWL tastes, to do
sacrifice at whatever shrine we list, or
at none Whether it be Concord, Chica-
go or Boston, London, Berlin or Paris,
or some unpretending wayside shrine,
or at all shrines, is a question of IN
dividual taste. Probably it would be
wise to have one shrine dedicated to
t'the unknown that we may not stand
in the attitude of unwitting exclusion
of worthy new candidate for literary
houors. J. W. CALDWELL
