An Injured Husband Tells a Story
of Feminine Trickery.

"A man can live with a woman ten
years and then not know all her tricky
little ways" an injured-looking hus.
band remarked at a neighborhood par
ty the other night. Il have just dis
covered to-day that for about five years
l have been the victim of an outrage
Gus scheme on the part of my Wife-I
just grit my teeth when think how
I've been imposed upon. This is the
way of it: My wife has a very, very
intimate friend-Kate-and we all
think a good deal of Kate. Every
Christmas my wife has agonized over
what we shall give Kate more than
she has over what she gives me, l
know. Yes, and every year after we
have had our presents at home Iny
wife has made me rig up, with holly
sprig in my buttonhole and my best
Christmas manners on, and go over to
Kate's to present our present to Kate,
with a sweet little note. Kate, of
course, always has received me with
joyous, delighted air-acted so sur
prised-praised our present up to the
skies, and then she dispatches me back
TO my wife with another parcel-her
present to my wife-and another sweet
y
course-my wife so surprised, and the
present just what she had wanted
dear Kate-so clever-always gives
just the right thing.
This has beep going on for five
years-yes, sir-five years 1 have been
jumping back and forth on Christmas
morning between these two women,
and to-day, by a mere accident,
found out that the two wretches-for
five years-had gone shopping together
the week before Christmas and had
each picked out her own present-yes,
sir-each told the other in cold blood
what she wanted her to give. Just

ter by what name 1t might be called.
1t undoubtedly would be highly pop
ular with the shiftless and the thrift
less members of society. but it would
be condemned by industrious and
prudent people in all lines of indus
try. The honest and equitable collec-
ton of an income tax, moreover, is
attended by almost insuperable diff
culties. which render the just enforce
ment of such a law practically inl
possible. There are no radical objec-
tions to reasonable inheritance tax,
and the statute books of several of the
States contain laws of this kind, which
are giving results more or less salts
factory.
Finally, the body polite is by no
means in SO bad a condition as Mr..
Dague of Ventura and other theorists
and would-be reformers would have Us
believe. Industrial methods, it is quite
true, have undergone important
changes during the past few years,
and are still in a transition stage.
There have been strikes, riots ana
lockouts within the last decade, but
these are nothing new. Such things
have happened with more or less fire.
quency since the early beginnings Of
the Industrial system. They do not
necessarily indicate destitution and
misery OH the part of the strikers. On
the contrary labor strike is usually
an indication that the industry in
which the strikers are employed is
prosperous. The strike is, as a rule,
an organized effort by the strikers to
oh DteJ on, ir,nr a 0f ~
profits of industry When business is
dull, prices low, and the markets weak
the chances of successful strikes are
at a minimum, and they occur with
comparative infrequency.
AS matter of actual truth, the
condition of wage-earners is much
better to-day than ever before in the
worlds history. A days wages will
buy more commodities of almost any
kind than ever before Labor-saving
machinery has enormously cheapened
nearly all classes of commodities.
While it undoubtedly has inflicted
hardships in individual cases, labor
saving machinery has been of great
benefit to wage-earners in cheapening
the necessaries of life. And in the ag-
gregate, labor-saving machinery has
without much doubt given employment
to as many persons as it has deprived
of employment. 1t has opened new
avenues of activity, and in many in
dustries has actually increased in
stead of diminishing, the number Of
hands employed.
The country is not threatened with
revolution and anarchy. A few noisy
demagOgueS and ViSiopariaS rnaka it
part Of their profession to paint weird
and dreadful word pictures, represent
ing the nation to be on the verge of
disintegration. But these pictures are
falsely and needlessly alarming. The
people OF the United States know what
they are about and can get along a
great deal better without the advice
of these alarmists than with it.
