The operators have a right to work their
mines. to defend their property against
trespassers and to invoke and receive the

their legal rights. A strike that cannot
succeed by other means should never be
permitted to succeed by force.

Business men, doubtless with some rea-
son, speak slightingly of the practical ac-
quirements of graduates of commercial col
leges, and something of the same prejudice
transfers itself TO the results attained by
pupils of manual training or trade schools
There is little if any reason for the feeling
in this case, since these schools are, for the
most part so recently established that no
wide opportunity has been afforded for OBJ
serving the results. The Lowell Mass
Textile School is rejoicing over the fact
that it has proved itself of practical value
even in its short existence of six months
1t was opened only last winter, but during
one term the pupils learned so much about
the weaving of linen that several of the big
mills of Lowell are about to develop this
department of manufacturing. The mana
gers frankly give the entire credit of the
enterprise 10 the little school that teaches
the art of weaving cloths. In view of the
fact that linen weaving has been neglected
in this country and that fashion in recent
years has prescribed more extended use
of the fabric. the school may congratulate
itself on encouraging what should be a
great American industry.

Lehmanowsky lecture at Sprngdale, Ham
iltcn county. Ohio, in 1874 or 1s45. He re-
members the lecturers appearance distinct
ly, and describes him as a fine, SOL
dierly looking man, probably six feet two
inches in height and we'll proportioned, with
a strong though not handsome face and a
large scar across the upper part. He says
the lecturer had a wonderfully vivid style
and showed perfect familiarity with Ma
poleons campaigns and career. Being a
strong anti-Catholic, he was lecturing I'M
der the auspices and patronage of the
Protestant churches though, no doubt. he
received compensation for his services.
Who he was or where he came from re-
mains to be definitely ascertained. as also
whether he was the author of the book in
question. If he was really an aid to Mar
shall Ney at the battle of Waterloo he prob
ably became a refugee. 1t may even be
that he was included in the decree of pro-
scription issued by Louis XVIII against
Marshal Ney and several others after Wa
terloo Ney was arrested while trying to
escape from France, was taken to Paris,
tried convicted and sentenced to death.
History says he was shot on Dec. g. 1876
but there is a curious legend that he es-
capped to the United States and went to
North Carolina, where he taught school
many years before his death book has
been written to substantiate this theory
and those who question ii would be aston
ished at the array of circumstantial evil
dence and direct personal testimony by
which 1t is sustained> Ney was born in
1863, and would therefore have been forty
six years old in 1916, when he is supposed
to have been shot Had he escaped at that
time he might easily have lived twenty
five or thirty years longer The story is
that the soldiers of the guard who were de-
tailed to shoot him connived at his escape
and that another person was shot and
buried in his place. The story is almost in
credible, but the evidence in support of the
North Carolina schoolmaster theory is sur
prisingly strong. 1t is an interesting fact, by
the way, that there is now living in Saltillo-
vile Washington county, Indiana, an aged
physician, DR.. Neyman, who has always
claimed and still claims to be an ilegti-
mate son of the great French marshal. All
this has no special bearing on the author
ship of the Life of Bonaparte'' beyond
showing that if the Colonel Lehmanowsky
who delivered lectures on Napoleon in the
Western States about 1870 had served under
Napoleon and was on Marshal Ney's staff
al the battle of Waterloo he was, in all
probability, a. refugee If he was the au-
thor of the book in question the ascertain
ment OF the fact would be an interesting
contribution to literary history. And if he
was not the author, who was? What other
American citizen of that period, native born
or adopted, possessed the minute, technical
knowledge of Napoleon's campaigns shown
in this old book?

Mining camps develop some curious
phases of human nature good as well as
bad. In this regard the Klondike region
seems to be repeating the early history
of California before society was organized
or any laws enacted except those adopted
ing are the master vices of all mining
camps. the former particularly being slim
ulated by quickly acquired wealth. 1t is
curious to observe how little stealing or
new communities. There are no laws, no
constabes, no marshals, no sheriffs, yet no
stealing. The reason, no doubt is that the
unwritten law of the camp makes stealing
punishable with death and the penalty is
inflicted without the aid of judge or jury.
The man in the Klondke who stole a piece
of bacon was shot, and everybody said
Served him right" In a saloon, where men
pay for drinks with gold dust, the customer
losses his sack of gold to the barkeeper

owner. No doubt if the barkeeper should
be seen to weigh out too much he would be
promptly shot. And so it is in general
This stern rule shows that the principle of
justice and honesty is inherent in human
nature and will assert itself in the absence
of all law. The mining camp brings out
the good as we'll as the bad traits of hui
man nature.

The question of the advisability of di-
vorcing cycle racing from the League of
American Wheelmen was raised at the ma
tional meeting of the league in Philadelphia
this month, and will, it is said, be one of
the leading questions discussed at the next
meeting. 1t is thought by the advocates of
the movement that the work of the league
should be directed in other channels, such
as road improvements, erection of sign
boards and matters of more general i'm
portance than racing The membership of
the L. A. w. is very small in proportion to
the number of people who ride wheels, and
the chances are that ninety out of hum
dred in this great majority have the i'm
preston that the organization Is intended
chiefly for the encouragement OF racing.
This same majority has the smallest pos
sible interest in bicycle races, and therefore
sees no advantage in belonging to the
league. If it were once clearly understood
that it's chief purpose was to secure road
improvements and other benefits for the
general body of wheemen the membership
would no doubt rapidly increase and the
desired object be made much easier of at

The coal miners strike is approaching
what seems to be the inevitable conclusion
of all strikes in which neither side will yield.
viz, violence, If the operators persist in
their determination TO break the strike by
operating certain mines in defiance of the
strikers the latter will probably resort TO
force, which will be met with force on the
part Of the operators and real trouble will
begin. For this outcome both parties viii
be in measure responsible on account of
the uncompromising course they have pur-
sued. 1t is difficult to say which side is
most responsible for the failure to bring
about arbitration. but probably If the truth
were known neither desirad 1t except on
the basis of a full recognition of its claim

If Christ should come to Topeka he would
find one man cherishing the obsolete notion
that scrptural injunctions are to be con-
strued literally in their application to nine
teenth century methods. The director of a
Topeka (Kan) bank has rendered the
resignation of his office on the ground of
his belief that the method of conducting
the banking business is not compatible
with the teachings of Christ. He says his
conscience has become enlightened to the
fact that the loaning of money at usurious
rates, to which policy the bank is commit
ted, is wrong just as is the violation of
any other law on our statute book and
should not be sanctioned by me as profess
ing the name and following the teachings
of the Lord Jesus Christ"

Diamonds dangling from a wOman's
finger nails was the novelty that made
young men smirk and girls gisgle on
a Chicago cable car.
She was CARRIED in the extreme of
fashion. Jewels flashed from the col
lar of her waist; precious stones sh0nc
from each ear Costly gems covered
her dainty, ungloyed hands. There
was nothing particularly eXtraordina-
ny about all that, but there was about
her finger tips.
The strangest thing about it was
that the woman was an American. If
she had been an Indian or an Egyptian
princess, the innovation would have
been taken as a matter of course. But
she wasn't-she was an out-and-Out
American, and pretty one at that.
Passengers in the same section of the
car with ner craned their necks and
peeked from under newspapers to fer
ret out the mystery. Once a fly lit
upon the wOman's face. She raised
her hand to brush it away. And then
the puzzle was solved.
At the tips of her fingers tiny apert-
ures, as big as pin head, had been
bored in her glossy nails Snugly
clasped on these We're little chains an
inch long, and on the end of the dang
ling links were diamond studs, carat
