Yet many Of these poor women
succeed by the most thorough
self-denial in keeping together the
little family and fitting them for
life's struggle. But at what cost!
Generally premature death plays
an important part in the lives of
these noble heroines whose true

will find inspiration for profound
study in sociology. Go to the
homes of the ones employed by
these same concerns ON the ''piece-
price" plan and you will find ma
terial for another profound study
on the barbarism Of the industrial
system Of a country that is con-
tinually railing about the atrocities
of the Turks and the benighted
condition Of the "poor heathen' in
foreign lands. When you have
done with these studies just ask
yourself what can be expected from
the children of the unacknowl-

UNACKNOWLEDG HEROISM.

GALL the world loves a HERO
says favorite saw. But it may
be added that nowadays heroism
is acknowledged by the amount of
advertising it receives rather than
the quality of the deeds. Do we
ever give more than a passing
thought to the poor, worn out
widows drudging through lives of
misery to rear a family of father
less children? Do our ladies of
fashion ever ponder over the blood
sweated out of some unfortunate
sister who bastes and sews all day
long on the garments that are Of
fered $50 cheap at the bargain
counter? Does our lady as she
sits back in her landau think of
the poor, suffering sister to whom
the merchant princes of our up-to-
date industrial system pay fifty
cents for from twelve to fourteen
hours of incessant labor that they
may place on their counters gar
ments made enticing to prospective
buyers at the cost Of blood drawn
from the unfortunate women who
must work for what their employer
feels like paying or starve? This
is free country? Certainly, these
women do not HAVE to work-per-
ish the thought! They have an
other alternative: they and their
children may starve, if they SO
desire. The magnanimous en-
ployer will kneel in his cushioned
pew the following Sunday and

we raise to our shoulders with ap-
parent ease increases in weight in
a ratio with the distance we have
to carry it. So also is it with
crime. 1t is seemingly easy tc
commit it but as we progress in il
the moral and physical punishment
becomes unbearable, and we die
shackelled to it if we have not the
stamina to throw off the load in
time.

WHEN we learn to treat others
with proper respect in conversa-
ton whether in their presence or
to acquaintance we will have &C
quired that which will cause mer-
tied respect for us from others.
The fiippant talker who seldom
thinks Of anything good to say of

IT REQUIRES the Christening arm
of adversely to recall many of US to
a proper understanding of life and
it's duties. Continued prosperity
breeds Indifference to the higher
duties of our existence. AS the
world has noted in the past few
years, general adversely is some
times necessary to bring to us col
lectively and in forcible manner
the puissant fact that there is more
in life to be considered than mere
eating, drinking and money

work. tramp. Let the hobo ele-
ment stay away from the grain
belt region of Minnesota and the
Dakotas for one season and you
will hear wall from the farmers
that will strongly emphasize the
statement that the derided "hobo"
is in reality a very essential ele-
ment in the transient labor market.
Usually they are a good-natured,
reckless set Of men who spend
their money too freely for their
own benefit. But they should
never be classed with the real
tramp, though they indulge in
trampish methods Of getting a
meal when they are ''broke," which
is too often the case after they
have made a little ''stake" and
spent it like princes with unlim-
tied means.
The real tramps, the men who
have gotten so low as to be but
animals are far worse in COM
munity than criminals. If they
do not steal it is because there is
work connected with the effort,
and such word as work is not in
their vocabulary. It may be said,
to the credit Of the west, that the
real tramp is found in the east and
remains there, travelling up and
down certain railroad lines and re-
sorting to the comforts of the
county Jail in winter. The west is
not yet populated thickly enough
for him. It is "too long between
eats" when he has to take the
turnpike.
There may be some "cure" for
these degraded 'never-work" speci-
mems of humanity; if such panacea
is discovered it must have as it's
principal component WORK in
large quantities and frequent doses.
AS for the hobo element, their
trampish proclivities will diminish
in the same ratio as the industrial
situation improves. Though i'm
provident they are a very neces-
sary element in the upbuilding of
our agricultural regions and in
public works on the frontier and
in isolated regions where rugged
constitutions capable Of withstand
ing all kinds of hardships are a
necessity. The domesticated la
borer does not take kindly to such
work, SO we may say in closing,
that the hobo, as this class is
called, is deserving of sympathy
rather than frowns when he is in
hard luck-even though such con-
dition is partly due to his own i'm
providence.

THE sister of a prisoner in this
institution has undertaken a re-
markably meritorious effort in be-
half of the imprisoned brother
whose offense has left a stain on
an otherwise highly respected
family. This lady is we'll advanced
in years and has saved considerable
money from her salary as school
teacher, she having worked con-
tinuously at that vocation in a
western state. She is in this state
now and has resolved to make res
titution of every dollar that people
have been defrauded out of by her
hayward brother. Even the cost
Of the trial she is determined to
make good to the county in which
he was convicted. This is really a
stupendous undertaking as there
are several charges still pending
against the brother for any Of
which he could be returned here.
She made visit to the prison and
had her brother give a detailed
statement of all his fraudulent
transactions that she might the
easier make the loss good. This
lady is certainly remarkable in her
honesty and deserves the highest
praise for her laudable efforts to
take a stain from her family name.
She, it may be truly said, is one
out Of thousand.

THE TRAMP EVIL.

MANY OF our leading periodicals
are giving considerable space of
late to the discussion of "The
Tramp Evil' and how it may be
overcome or it's continued exist
ence abated. We are pleased to
see the influential publications of
the day take up the discussion of
this subject which is in reality a
vital issue in the general progress
Of humanity.
In the present industrial stag
nation it will be found a rather
difficult matter to sift the actual

ingman who may be placed in the
'vagrant" category through cir
cumstances not necessarily attrib-
utable to shiftlessness on his part.
Many a man is nowadays called a
tramp, or, perhaps, forced to be
one in our social index, for the
reason that no other mode of ex-
istence is open to him save hand
to-mouth living that he must CLEAN
through the charity Of his fellow
beings.
Personally we have seen and
spoken to individuals Of every
shade and degree of what is gen.
orally termed the tramp species.
With this fact painfully in view
the description and grading Of the
species and their various vices and
qualifications as set down by some
well-intentioned writer's is a posi-
tive novelty. This talk Of free
masonry and the sign manual as
practiced by the tramp is simply
bosh. The simon-pure tramp is
too lazy and Indifferent to attempt
the labor of acquiring a sign lam
guage. And right here we may
state that there are practically but
two classes of this vagrant species,
the hobo and the never-work. The
hobos are very enormously called
tramps, however. They do not
properly belong to that degraded
species at all. Hobos are always
willing and anxious to work.
Their great fault-if such it can
be called-is that they love to
wander from state to state and see
as much Of the country as possible.
If they hear of high wages and
plenty of work in a particular
section Of the country they will
Immediately betake themselves
thither by the cheapest mode Of
transportation Of the tramp,
stealing a ride. The Dakota
farmer and the foreman of sugar
houses throughout the south are
able to tell to a nicely the willing
hobo from the degenerate never

ONE phase Of the Cuban trouble
that should appeal to the Ameri-
can sense of honor and at once
urge them to see that the island is
placed on a peaceful footing, even
though immediate war be the re-
suit, is the following item from the
telegraphic columns of the daily
press:
HAVANA, June 4.-Guerrillas oper-
ating around Mantua, CimarOnes, San
tana, Lomasaltos and Umbas, upon
their return to Dimas, Sunday last
brought in 600 prisoners, of which 1872
were women and 166 children. The
pretty girls were parceled out among
the officers of the local garrison and
many of the children were given to
charitable families of the locality. Two
guerrilla lieutenantS are said to have
fought duel over one of the fair Gu
ban prisoners, Senorita Felipa MalaZOn,
Is years old, daughter of well-knOwn
insurgent chief.
To any one having a meagre
knowledge Of the degraded,
scrofula-infected scions of the
families whose children usually
officer the regiments of depraved
dynasties the above will bear the
strong imprint Of truth. The
slavery existing in our own country
years ago was the acme Of civil
lied responsibility when compared
to the atrocious conduct melted out
to female prisoners of war in Cuba
by the degraded scum Of second
hand Spanish aristocrats.
