pebs as a Buslness Man.

"Debs has no more idea Of business
than a boy years DID," said President
Prescott of the International Typo
graphical Union, during discussion OF
the brilliant and eccentric leader OF
the new social commonwealth.
Just to show you the kind of man
he is, let me tell you what happened
in Indianapolis some six or eight
months ago. | was walking along the
street with him when we came to
little girl, two or three years old, IN
baby buggy in front of store. The
mother was inside doing some trading,
and the little girl became frightened
and began to cry in most pitiful man
ner. Debs dropped our conversation at
once, and tried to pacify the child. He
felt in all his pockets for something
to please her, but the only thing ne
found was a $40 bill. 1t was all the
money he had, as happened to know.
Here he said to the child see
the pretty pictures. Does baby want
the pretty picture?'
1.-The little girl stopped crying
reached for the bill and had just be-
gun smiling when the mother appeared.
She pulled 1t out of the child's hand
and handed it back, but Debs wouldn't
take it. She insisted. Finally he took
it from her hand and passed 1t again
to the little one and walked away.

A Chicago paper has the following:
When the country is so much taken
up with the struggles OF the miners 10

ers in the face of the latter's position
1t is pleasant to read Of the success

It to it's interest to keep up the practlce
ever since. This is the Bourne mill al
Fall River, Mass. In 1889 the expert
ment was started of dividing certain
percentage of the concerns prohts
with the employees. This was done on
the basis of percentage dividend on
the earned wages. During that time
the percentage Is said to have varied
from 21s to per cent semi-annnally,
averaging 3ss per cent. This has been
perfectly satisfactory both to employ
ers and employed. A Boston newspa-
per publishes a circular letter from the
secretary of the mills to the men, from
which it is seen that the system has
produced spirit of cooperation and
watchfulness for mutual interests
with the most beneficial results. For
instance, If the belts are allowed to
run three minutes an hour on loose
pulleys 1t means loss of per cent.
of production and necessarily the same
percentage of loss in wages. AS the
secretary says, the esprit du corps
which tends to keep belts on fast pull
Ieys in the mill spurs the management
to keep alert In the general conduct OF
the business. The sharing Of profits
stirs up the ambition to make profits
to share, as the payment of dividends
stimulates the earnings of dividends.
Undoubtedly, too, there has come an
improvement in the conduct and dis
cipline of the men, and the habits of
economy inculcated by the system will
make themselves felt In their lives out
side of the works. The men of the
Bourne mill are said to be more punct-
ual and steadier in their work than
those of similar concerns, where the
system is not in vogue. Contrast this
cooperation between capital and labor
with the relations now existing be-
tween the coal operators and their
miners.

ROYAL MEN AND WOMEN.

AS soon as possible-that is, of
course, directly the London season
comes to a close, the princess of Wales
and Princess Victoria of Wales will re-
turn with Prince and Princess Charles
to Denmark. They will remain in Dsn-
mark at least two months, so it is al
ways a great comfort to the queen to
have her eldest daughter with her, and
the presence of her mother and sister
will also help to make the time pass
pleasantly for Princess Charles in her
Danish home for the brief period she
will remain there. Early in October
the princess of Wales will go to Scot
land, and in November her youngest
daughter will return to England with
Prince Charles in order to spend the
winter months at Appleton House.

The history of the labor movement

If all the women employed in the
shops and factories in the United States
would quit work today and refuse ever
to do another days work in any shop
or factory the result would be quite
startling, for in less than two years
three fourths of them would be mar
ried, says a writer in the Electrical
Worker. Now, how, you ask, does the
brother know this? Why, that is east
ly figured out.
As soon as the girls left the shops
for good someone would have to take
their places, and, as no girl would
work, men and boys would be
employed, and the extra demand would
raise the price of labor, and the men
would demand and obtain higher
wages, and this would enable the thou
sands of men out of employment to not
only support themselves, but would
enable them to take unto themselves

the writer, thousands would do this,

A Law OF the Badger" Hen.

From Superior, Wis, Citizen: We
have read of Maud on summer day,
who raked, bare-footed, the new-mown
hay; we have read of the maid in the
early morn, who MIXED the COW with
the crumpled horn, and we've read the
lays that the poets sing, of the rustling
corn and the flowers of spring; but of
all the lays of tongue or pen, there's
naught like the lays of the Badger hen.
Long, long before Maud rakes her hay,
the Badger hen has begun to lay, and
ere the milkmaid stirs a peg, the hen
Is up and has dropped her egg. The
corn must rustic and flowers must
spring If they hold their own with the
barnyard ring. If Maud is needing a
hat and gown she doesn't hustle her
hay to town; she goes to the store and
obtains her suit with basketful OF
fresh hen fruit; If the milkmaid's beau
makes a Sunday call she doesn't feed
him on milk at all, but works up eggs
in custard pie and stuffs him full of
chicken fry: and when the old man
wants horn, does he take the drug
gist load of corn? Not much! He
simply robs nest and HES him town
ward-you know the rest. His poor
wife stays at home and scowls. but is
saved from want by those self-same
fowls; for while the husband fingers
there, she watches the cackling hen
with care, and gathers eggs, and the
eggs she'll hide till she gets enough to
stem the tide. Then hail, all hail to
the Badger hen, who lays and caclkles
and lays again! Corn may be king,
but it's plainly seen that the Badger
hen is rustic queen.
