THE SPHERE OF LIFE.
Each Man nust Occupy His Own Field
of Action.

Every hand sways an individual scep-
ter in Its own realms. The thought is
not visionary that each soul is destined to
occupy certain sphere. The infant lie
at the center OF its universe. To this
little kingdom there is a boundary, the
revelation of which depends upon the ex.
banding future of the child. The design
of God is, that from the center of the
realm into which we are born we shall
expand till every point Of the boundary
is touched. The domain Of life is not
made up of circles within circles The
world is like a vast aggregate Of spheres
the circumference OF which only touch
one another, and the center OF every
sphere human soul. The possibility Of
materially affecting another sphere oil
action is on the hypothesis that we fill
our own.-Selected.

How q Smart Husband Taught Ills

Democrat. A certain wise man took
this way to give his wife an idea OF how
much $1,000 is. She had no idea OF

Il happened one day that her eyes fell
upon magnificent ring, and she coveted
il. 1t cost 81 900. But what was 81 900
TO her in comparison with the ring9 OF
course, her husband consented to the
purchase. What else could a dutiful,
affectionate husband do2 But he tried
this method of educating his wife con-
corning the great price Of the ring. He
instructed bis banker to send her the
81 900 in small pieces-peDnies, dimes,
quarters. In came the money, bagful
after bagful. She never had SUCH an
idea Of 81 900 before. When the money
was piled before her it alarmed her. The
price of the ring went up hundred fold,
and was considered at once an extrava-
gance which she Of her own option
abandoned.

surn WE'RE WRONG
Where the Responsibility Of the vIrdsn
Trouble Lies.


VIRDEN, Illinois, is under martial law
and soldiers are patrolling the streets.
The town was the scene OF bloody
riot about ten days ago. The miners
IN the coal pits at that place are out on
strike. The ope ator OF the mines en-
dtavored to replac them with negro min
ers from Alsbams, alter be had been
warned by Governor Tanner that such
action would cause trouble. The Cover
nor, when appealed TO by the mine man
ager to protect the imported laborers,
refused 10 send soldiers for that purpose,
and the company employed Pinkerton
detectives To guar,l the negros. One day
last week the mine operators tried
to land train load of imported
negroes at Virden, but the strikers at
tackled the train, and in the battle that
followed forty men were killed on both
sides. The facts in the case show that
the manager OF the mints at Virden and
the governor OF the state OF Illinois were
directly responsible for the bloodshed.
The mine manager is endeavoring to
force white miners to work for starvation
wages, and in his fight against them he
has used every means to incite them to
lawDess deeds. His last act, the effort he
made to replace them with negro ex-con-
victs from Alabama, drove the men to
desperation. Had he acted more hui
namely aud more reasonably and shown
a spirit OF liberality, he could have In
duced the men to return to work by
making some concessions that would not
have been source Of great loss to him.
But the manager, like great many 9TH
er employers Of labor, forgot the men
had hearts and feelings, and dealt with
them as though they were so many cat
tie. He is therefore criminally RESPONSE
BILE for the riot that resulted in the death
of forty persons. Governor Tanner is
also particeps criminis in refusing to
protect the property OF the mine owners,
and in not granting protection to the
imported laborers. While his sympath-
les may have been with the strikers, it
was his duty to uphold the law, and pre-
vent riot and disorder. His refusal to do
80 emboldened the strikers and melted
them to perform lawless deeds. Had the
governor more backbone and more good
horse sense the disturbances would new
er have taken place, and forty men
would not now be lying lifeless at
Virden. 1t is high time something were
done TO bring employer and employee
closer together. Consideration for each
others rights would lead to a better
feeling between capital and labor. Ac-
ton that would leave to disinterested
parties the arbitrament OF differences be-
tween employer and employee is needed.
AS long as the present method OF settling
labor disputes, continues the obstinacy of
the employer and the hot-headedness Of
the employe will lead to such disturb
ances as occurred at Virden. The impo-
tence of the officers who are supposed to
uphold the peace and dignity of the
commonwealth will inspire contempt for
law and order among the warning fac
tions, and a state of anarchy will result
that will threaten the social fabric.

To Make Good Times.

The following poem. going the rounds of
the press. Is interesting enough to merit re-
production:
You may talk about the tariff, and protec-
ton and free trade,
And party panaceas for opposing human
ills
And Improving trade conditions" and the
boom that wheat has made.
But the way to stir up business is to pay
your little bills.
If you owe the grocer twenty, and he owes
the butcher ten,
And five more to the coal man, and to the
ice man five,
Your payment of the twenty helps along
three business men,
And the payn emit they can make in turn
make other people thrive.
Idle money in your pocket doesn't do you
Unless your bills are all paid up in full it
lust pay up all you're able as you wish that
others w, uld
That's the recipe for hard times that in
variably cures.
If you pay what you owe others, Others still
can then payyou.
It's the circulating dollar that the pulse of
business thrills;
So set your money working, and then watch
what 1t Will do,
For the way to stir up business Is to pay
your little bills.
