Why ONE MAN is BITTER.

His Young Sister Bought the vtolets
TO Send TO His svveethcart.
st. Valentines day is sad reminder
to young man on street. A year
ago during the second week of Febru-
airy he had an attack Of the grip, says
the Washington Post. He wanted to
send charming young woman some
violets, and was compelled to ask q
very young sister to buy them for him.
He snappishly refused to tell for what
purpose he wanted the flowers, for he
had grip and his head ached. The young
girl returned with a box neatly wrapped
in paper. The young man slipped his
lard in without untying the package,
and bribed his little brother to carry
the offering to- the object of his atten-
tons. That evening the young sister
visited the sickroom. a..
''Did you like the violets?" she asked.
Didn't look at them.'
"They were Beauties" said the girl.
IT got them at a special sale. They
were marked down from one dollar to
SO cents-great big bunch, too"
"A big bunch of real violets for so
cents-great big bunch, too"
"A big bunch of real violets for 50
cents at this time of the year!" said
the sick man.
Real yiolets!" echoed the sister.
"Real violets! Why, you didn't say any
thing about real violets. I thought
they were for mammals bonnet.
bought artificial violets!"
The young man had never attempted
to explain the matter to the young lady
who received the flowers, but if you
talk to him about the natural intelli-
gence of young girls you will find him
nightly bitter and gloomy on the SUBJ
iect.

GLANCE OF THE STARVING, I
An Odd Event Among the Poor OF
Hungary. ZEE: 81 I. IS 4:

Il
Hungary. sti ss ss@ s:s ]. #. 81.
AIstriking article on the agricul tural
condition in Hungary has just been
published in the Neues Wiener Journal,
under the title Of The Dance OF the
Starving" From this it appears that
the peasants OF. the Alfoeld plain have
recently organized q number Of Popular
balls, which have been attended by
thousands. This does not imply that
. the people are particularly happy or
prosperous. On the contrary, owing
to the strike Of last summer and the
bad harvest, their condition is one of
great need. The dances are the result
of the bill passed in the Hungarian
reichstag for. regulating the relations
between land owners and their labor
ers. That bill is regarded as excep-
tionally hostile to tie latter. For the
.laborers, however, liberty of speech and
of public meeting is so restricted as to
render Ill gatherings for political pur-
poses practically impossible. Hence
this stratagem OF popular balls. It is
pointed out that the accounts Of these
peasant dancing parties are accom-
panied by the news of acts of pillage
and strike against taxes, which have
rendered necessary the intervention of
the military. The present movement is
a direct consequence of the harvest
strike OF last summer, and of the meas
ures adopted by the government to pre-
vent it's recurrence. The, obnoxious
bill, according to the Neues Wiener
Journal, delivers up the laborer to the
arbitrary discretion of his employer,
emitting the latter to put an end to
the agreement he has entered into, and
to withhold the wages he has agreed to
pay If the laborer should, in his opin-
ion' be socialist agitator.. If the Ia
borer, however, should fail to appear
at the time and place appointed, the
employer is empowered to call upon
the authorities to force him to carry
out his contract. The laborer has no
legal remedy against this proceeding,
while the employer is assured of the
cooperation of the authorities in the
event of strike. Such injustice as
this, as the writer remarks, might con-
vert strike very easily into a rebel
lion.
